Indian Wooing.-— A stalwart Indian appeared the other day at Aylmer, Quebec, with a dusky companion by bis side whom he wished to wed. Both parties seemed to be rejoicing at the prospect as they repaired to the church; but suddenly the maiden changed her mind, and positively refused to become his bride. Big Indian told her to go home and bring him back all the presents he had made her, and while she was absent secured another woman, gave her the costume intended for the one that had discarded him, and married her. Only two hours were lost by the entire transaction.
