At the regular monthly meeting or the directors of the Montreal Society for the Protection of Women and Children yester- day the Secretary's monthly report con- teined a recital of a number of cane in whittle destitute or oppressed females had been relieved and protected by the sooiety. One caee in which the booiety had most beneficially interfered was 'somewhat romantic,. Some time ago a young woman came to the Secretary and stated that she had been betrayed under promise of marriage, which her betrayer refused to fulfil. On inquiry it was learned that the young man had aolreowledged this to an Anglican clergy. man in the oity. On the advice of she society's counsel the young man was &nested and placed in jail. It appeared that $25,000 was coming to him in Eng. land under a will, provided his widowed mother remarried. This she had done, and having become entitled to the fortune he consented to marry the girl. He. was relessed, a 'image and ring premed, arid having settled $15,000 on his bride they were married end are now living heppily together. The report also stated that it was through the instrumentality of Mr. Wm. Darling, Mr. Barnard and the Seer* tory that Vaughan, alias Melbourne, had been arrested. Mr. Darling had raised about one hundred dollars for carrying on the proeuution. One Quanacauen. Sumway—I am in hopes of getting an appointment in the Agricultural Depart- ment.
