A young woman iu the neighbourhood of HairUwraiH, bnt on the Englrfii fide of the river Firldet, which is the boundary. between Scotland and England, had fevers! years been the favorite- of the young men, from a tolerable (hare of beautr accompanied by the additional charms of a pretty handfotnc fortune. Though many paid their addresses, the competition at last fell amongfi three, viz. * niafon, who was taken againfi the field thi ee for one ; a horse dealer, who was believed to be the second in favor; and a small tenant in Canoby, who was thought to ba*e little chance, Freffcd by these parties, the was obliged to bring the business to a crisis Accordingly, about the beginning of hebru ary ensuing, flic lent for the mafou on a Mon day night, and agreed to marry him by a I:- > canccon the Saturday foliowing. She sent for the horse dealer on Tuefday night, and agreed to meet him at Lor.gtowii next Tlutrf day, and go with him that day for Scotland, ft he sent for the farmer on. the Wednelday night, and appointed him likewise to meet her at Longtowti on Thursday, for the-fame pur pose, and told him that ihe was determined to be married to some person before.Satuniay, to avoid the mason.
