A WOMAN MARRYING A WOMAN.

One of the officers of the county police was sent to Greenock on the sth January, to bring a^risbnerithrough to Edinburgh; The prisoner is a young woman belonging to Inverness-Bhire, who had been 'wanted ' by the police for some time back on the charge of personating a man. Last year she worked for a considerable time as a laborer in the neighborhood of Kirknewton, and so masculine was she in appearance that none of her fellow-workers suspected her of belonging to the softer sex. By-and-bye, she fell in lov.ewith a young woman, /a native of Ireland,- and the two were ultimately married. For a while they lived together, happily, it is said; but a quarrel having taken place, the wife informed the police of the true sex of her "husband." The latter did not want^a visit from the "gentlemen in blue," and at once made good her escape from tho neighborhood. She was not heard of until the other day, when she was apprehended at Greenock, where she had been working as a laborer. The police were communicated with, and, as we have already said, an officer was sent to bring the prisoner to Edinburgh.
