"BOYCOTTING" A BRIDE.

"BOYCOTTING" A BRIDE.

The latest and most novel phise of "Boycotting " has just been exemplified in a parish near Mallow, County Cork. A young lady, daughter of a well-to-do farmer, was engaged to be matried to the eon of a neighbour, also in comfortable circumstances, but who had the miufortune to come under tho ban of the Land League, and was undergoing " Boycottine " in its severest form. The night tefore the day appointed for the marriage the bride eleofc was waited upon by a number of members of the local Land League, who informed her that, should she marry tho inteuded bridegroom, both she and all her family would bo equally " BoycoHetl." So great was the persuasion brought to bear upon her, thit the poor girl has broken off, or at least postponed the match. _______________ A very painful accident happened on Wednesday to Miss O'Connor, sister-in-law of Mr. D. Sini.ott, of Taieri, near Milton, which would, without doubt, have resulted fatally had it not been for the courage and presonoe of mind of one of the employe's on the farm, Mr. Hugh Sweeney. An infuriated cow broke from the mob and rnshed at the young lady, who, seeing her danger, and being unable to escape, threw herself upon the ground, in the hope that tho animal would run over her, and that she might be able to reach a placo of safety bofore it could renew tho attack. Unfortnnately no suoh opportunity was given, and she was tossed about the field in a fearfully dangerous manner. Mr. Sweeney, who was on horseback, saw from a diatance the critical situation of the lady, and rendered speedy assistance. He arrived none too soon, however, for the cow had gone down on its knees, as if dotermined to finish the deadly work. Hastily dismounting, he threw himself upon the young lady, and shielded her with his body. His action fortunately startled the cow, and caused it to spring back. In doing so it caught sight of Mr. and Mrs. fcinnott, a little way off, and charged in their direction, but all were enabled to escape. Miss O'Connor's right leg was fearfully torn from the ankle to the knee, the muscles in places being completely severed from their attachments. Mr. Sweeney sustained a few outs about the head, but they wore not of much consequence. Dr. Reid (says a Southern contemporary) gives a bad aocount of Miss O'Connor'a condition, but is in hopes that ho will be able to effect a cure of the wound, and that it will not be necessary to resort to amputation.

'Tis my impression that the best-brewed all Is that at Wakeford's, and finds ready sale And you may well believe me when I say That this impression strengthens every day The more I drink of Wakeford's wholesom* beer, The lesß my constitution has to fear. But, is my favour to the beer confined; Are not the Spirits of the finest kind ? To this a ready answer I can give — A ready answer in tho affirmative. 'Tween brandy, whisky, wine, and beer I übo They're all so good, I don't know which t< choose. 'Ti3 my impression that the drinks are cheap As I know well the benefits I reap ; And this impression 1 shall long retain While Wakeford's Bank Hotel remains th( same. Indeed I won't complain, though placed ii gaol, While I can get a glass of Wakeford's ale. Te Whiti. Wakeford still solla five bottles for £1.
