baronial name in that of Grant; a
warlike LaCorne espouses a proud Lennox of the ducal house of
Richmond, Gordon and Aubigny, whilst a successful French Canadian
politician, the Hon. Joseph Cauchon Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba,
carried off to the Prairie Province his devoted and accomplished Irish
wife, Miss Mary Nowlan of Edgehill Sillery, alas! no more. A family, high
in the Church and on the Bench, the Taschereau, contract six unfrench
alliances, the first with Sir Randolph Routh; the Hon. M. de Sales de
Laterrięre, marries the daughter of Sir Henry Bulmer of London. The
daughter of a late Premier of Ontario Hon. J. Sandfield McDonald becomes
the spouse of a late Member for Montmorency, Jean Langlois, Esq., whilst
the daughter of a late Premier of Quebec, Hon. P. J. O. Chauveau, is
united to a British Officer, Lt. Glendonwyn, and a rising young Irish
barrister Chs. Fitzpatrick, finds a bride in the family of a late
Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, the Hon. R. E. Caron, The Laugevins join
hands with the Armstrongs, Philips, McLeans, Furniss, &c., and the De
Gaspes, with the Allisons, Frasers, Stuarts, Powers, Alleyns, etc.,
It would take us much beyond the
limits prescribed, to pursue in detail this curious study, of the doings
of that irrepressible Divinity, yclept Hymen; we shall close by calling
attention to the names on this list of no less than, eleven sages of our
Bench, viz. : Hon. Justice Bedard, Bossé, Casault, Fiset Mondelet, McCord,
Power, Polette, Stuart, Tessier, Vanfelson, all united, as appears on
reference to the above, to mates of descent other than that of their
ermined Lords. Future searchers of history and Church Registers, will
doubtless yet add considerably to the ethnological labours of such arduous
and successful toilers as the Abbčs Ferland, Tanguay and Langevin.
