Serruinc a Bet.—A novel wedding took place at Philadelphia a few days ago. The contracting parties were Mr. Joseph H. Kin- ter. a school teacher of Dillsburg, York Co., and Miss Mary E. Brannan. The marriage was to satisfy an election bet. The groom is a Republican, and the bride a Democrat, and the conditions of the bet were that if Harri- son was elected the wedding should be solemnized justfone month from election day, and the bride must procure the marriage license and defray all current expenses. She carried out her part, went to the clerk s office, procured the papers, and was married in the presence of a large assembly_of friends.

Sir John’s Opinion

Orrawa, Dec. 14. Sir John Macdonald spoke to a reporter to-day respecting the Butterworth annexa- ition resolutions as follows:—‘‘I do not ;care to express any opinion as to the pro- |priety of the step. There isan implied rule prohibiting the criticism of the pro- | ceedings in either branch of our legislature | by a member of the other division, and the ‘same rule ought to hold equally good with |respect to the act of a foreign legislature. | The proposition of Mr. Butterworth in its | present state, as | understand it, is of a purely domestic nature. It will be time |enough to discuss the proposition when it ‘comes before us officially.’
