Show A BRIDE WITHOUT A 'BRIDEGROOM. 'BRIDE-GROOM. Some time ago a beautiful and intelligent in-telligent young lady informed her intimate in-timate friends that she was engaged to be married to Mr. A. Last. Thursday Thurs-day night was fixed for the wedding, and a number of cards of invitation were sent out. The Eueels assembled, but no bridegroom appearing, at a late hour they withdrew, full of sorrowful sor-rowful sympathy for the lady and fierce indignation against the man who had so overwhelmed her with mortification and disappointment. On the next day the lady was a raving maniac. The gentleman in the case, however, asserts that he was not engaged en-gaged to the young lady, and had no idea of it, nor did he know anything about tho wedding that was appointed for him. He doubtless tells the truth, and the arrangements for the wett ding on the part of the unfortunate young lady were but the premonitory symptoms of the insanity afterward fully developed.
