Jessie Macaulay BAIRD, daughter of Mr. James BAIRD, Corkickle, to Dr. Thomas HAMILTON, of Dalry, Ayrshire, took place in the Congregational Church, yesterday, Wednesday. Mr. McGOWAN played organ selections. As the bride and bridegroom left the church, they were greeted with showers of "confetti." ****** Mr. WATSON, of the Tangier-street cycle depot has sprung an idea that is bound to catch on with the public. He has made arrangements for hiring out fancy costumes to the cyclists, male and female, who will take part in the proposed procession, on Jubilee day. It is certainly a boon to be able to hire a costume, at a reasonable figure, as such articles are costly and seldom required. ****** A crowd accompanied a woman from the neighbourhood of the Police Station, last evening. On enquiry as to the cause, a "Gazette" reporter was informed that she had just been taken up, and that she possibly might have escaped. She just looked like polishing off any two Whitehaven policemen. Her head was artistically bound up, wit a white cloth, and her sleeves doubled up, giving full view to a brace of arms, that were fit to officiate in a fratch, domestic or otherwise. The spread of that woman down Scotch-street was immense, and she evidently enjoyed the notoriety her person and get up were gaining. If the policemen preferred her room, to her company, at the lock-up, it is not to be wondered at, for she looked fit to double up half-a-dozen blue bottles, taken singly. ****** << Prev - Next >>
