CO-OPERATIVE COAL

TO THE KDITOR. Sin, — I was not aware till 1 saw the notice in yom issue of Thursday last that it was the intention of the co-operative association to abandon the sale of coal in Cambridge, nor have I received any official notice to that effect. Whilst admitting that we are heavily handicapped by excessive railway fi eight, I am in a position to state that we have sold since the opening of the line on Wednesday, the Bth, three trucks of five tons each, and received further orders which will be executed at an early date.— l am, &c, Geo. J. Neal, Agent. Cambridge, October 16th, 18S4.

Scene at a Wedding. — A London correspondent relates the following story : — A well known curate of a church in a north-eastern section of London was about to be married to a young lady residing in the vicinity. The officiating clergyman and the bridegroom had taken up their respective positions at the alter awaiting the bride's arrival, when a lady, attired in bridal dress and accompanied by two little girls, as bridesmaids, entered the sacred edifice, walked hurriedly up the aisle, knelt by the side of the bridegroom, and seized his arm in an excited manner. That gentleman, though somewhat startled, did not lose his presence of mind, and, with the assistance of some ladies, endeavoured to persuacje the fair intruder to retire. After a scene of some confusion, the lady was removed to a seat, where she was effectually screened from any further view of the proceedings, and the ceremony was allowed to proceed without further interruption. It appears that the lady who was so desirous of taking a part in the ceremony which had not been allotted to her is a widow in good circumstances, who had conceived a violent attachment to the reverend bridegroom, of whose congregation she was a, member. It is believed the announcement of his intended marriage with another lady has affected her mind. £100 Rfward.— They cure .ill diseases of the stomach, bowels, blood, liver, nerves, and kidneys, and £100 will be paid for a case they will not cure or help, or for anything impure of injurious found in them — Hop Bitters. Test it. Read. A Rattlesnake's Bite — The quick venom of the rattlesnake has not killed so many people as the more insidious but deadly poisons found in the air of foul rooms. The aeration of the blood by the lungs becomes impossiole sometimes, and the failing health, growing weakness, and loss of appetite are harbingers ofapproach»ng death. ■ For such cases Hop Bitters are the potent and all-powerful remedy to drive all fevers out of the system, purifying the "blood, . and giving a new and . happy lease of life.
