A valuable horse, the property of Alexander Wartman, living on the Front Road, west of Portsmouth, was killed by lightning during the storm on Sunday.

Kingston, ' Sept. 11.-- (To the Editor).--From the reading of your paper, I dam glad to see this subject rise, concerning non-Catholics and Catholics. As I have great cause to object to the marriage being legal, and I will'uphold Justice Brunean in his verdict of divorcing Dehlemann and Gertrude Barbeau, of Quebec, as I know of a case where a Protestant being unable to get a wife of his own religion, sought one of the Ca- tholic faith, with promises to marry in her own church after being mar- ried by the protestant minister. He failed to keep that promise. . Not only that, but he orders his half- married wife to discontinue her visits and correspondence with her people. Afterwards it is found he is an Orangeman and leaves her destitute for her parents to keep for five weeks, then returning, takes her out of town from her parents' sight. Such laws I don't hold legal in marriage and {if the case of marriage, Catholic vs. Protestant, should go to the vote, 1 believe it would be condemned, and marriage of that kind made illegal, which would be keeping our faith in its right place, and keep to the church of our education and parents' faith.
