A sensational story of a marriage and death is reported from Montreal, the bridegroom being an English gentleman of properly, residing at Brighton, whose name was Kalph Boeheamil Husson, who went to Canada two years ago on account of declining health. While there he made the acquaintance of Miss Mulcaby, and they became engaged. His health growing worse, ho wished Miss Mul* caby to marry him and accompany him to England. Her mother objected on account of her youth, and Mr Husson had to leave by himself. The engaged couple kept up a correspondence, and the marriage was arranged to take place. Accompanied by his father, a priest, and a friend of the family, the young gentleman set out for New York. This was. however against the advico of the doctor, who said that an Atlantic voyage in the winter would most likelv prove fatal. The party arrived in Now York and took train for Bonavonture, a telegram being sent to Miss Mulcaby to meet them at the station there. The young ladv met them, and the party took s.eigh to Mrs Mulcaby’s house. On the way, however young Mr Husson gasped for breath. He then motioned for tho priest to read the marrisge service. Miss Mulcaby, though greatly overcome, consented, and in St. James street, in tho sleigh, and in the open air, the marriage took place. In two minutes afterwards the bridegroom fell back dead.
