At the pari.sh church of lirierly Hill.
on the borders of the black country, a
enrious nib-take occurred a fi.-w days
ago. A bridal party by somo means oc-1
enpied their wrong places, and the bride
was married to the lxst man, who was
engaged to marry her sister. During
the ceremony the bride had some idea
that the pnx-eedings were hardly as they
should be, as the bridegroom sUiod be-
hind her and the bnt man, and handed
the ring to the latter. On the othet
hand, the best man made the necessary
rei-ponite. Happily the error was dis
covered before the register bail been
signed and the ceremony was gone
through a second time, core being taken
that the right man was wedded to the
bride. London Tit-bita.
