CHEERS FOR WRONG COUPLE. Some extraordinary scenes were witnessed outside St. John's Church, Stratford. The story had got abroad that Goes, a Crimean veteran, of 78, was to marry an old sweetheart, and a large crowd gathered to see the ceremony. Disappointment awaited them, however. The clergy and officials had just told the people that no such wedding was to take place, when a strange thing happened. An army veteran named Borret, proudly displaying a row of medals, walked up to the church, accom- panied by his wife, and the crowd, making cer- tain that this was the bride and bridegroom they had come out to see, cheered them heartily and followed them into church. The people de- clined to accept the assurance that Mr. and Mrs. Borret had come on the same mistaken errand as themselves. The old soldier and his wife were taken into the vestry, and after a while left by a side entrance. Once outside, they were surrounded by the excited crowd, who, thinking that the marriage had actually taken place, clapped the old man on the back and cheered loud and long.
