The Reverend Henry Berry, "a passionate lover of agriculture," and a great "breeder of horned cattle," has been appointed Domestic Chaplain to Earl Spencer. In the paragraph copied from the ;Pest last week, respecting Miss Grant's elopement, allusion was made to a particular nightcap, lent to the bride by one of the "three fashionable ladies." The story re- specting this nightcap may be guessed at from the following extract from an article in the Hertford Reformer.
