MARRIAGE PROMISE.

OF late there have been several heavy
yerdicts obtained for a breach of the
marriage promise a crime which is tru-
Iy deserving Of severe punishment, when
committed without cause or justification
Ia forfeit OF oa,hs--a breach Of faith
distress Of mind, modification, and proba-
bly, private misery are results OF this dis
regard to the most sacred Of obligations /;
and the heavy sums of money which Of.
tenders have had to Pay, have no doubt
been productive Of good result.
A very pretty, modest girl, brought a
writ against laiihless swain for breach
of the marriage promise, damages were
laid at $4,000. She accompanied the
officer to identity the defendant, young
mechanic-but the honest officer, instead
of carrying him to the prison, carried
him to a parsoD, where both parties being
willing, he stood for groomsman and saw
the parties lawfully married and the wri
cancelled. "Blessed are the peace max

last week, calling herself the sister oil
the rev. Mr.. Summer6eld. She applied
to some ofthe members of the Mctho.
dist Society in this village, stating her
trunk containing all her wearing apparel,
had by mistake been misdirectea, leav-

AN effort was Immediately made, and

everv other article necessary to equip a
gentceI lady, was speedily furnished
The pretended Miss Symmetrical, thus
sumptuopsly arrayed, and having, as she
said. prepared a letter, to her friends in
New York, apprizing them of her un-
pleasant situation, and urging them to
take prompt measures to return her lost
wardrobe, under pretence of carrying i,

the village. She crossed the ferry a,
New Paltz, but managed to defraud the

1othe Senate Of the United States:
Recent information OF the multiplied outrages

the death OF very meritorious officer to call

Of the government. All the public vessels adapted
TO that service, which can be spared from other in
dispensable duties, already employed in 1t; but,
from the knowledge which has been acquired OF the
places from whence these outlaws issue, and to
which they escape from danger, it appears that it
will require particular kind of force, capable of

retire, eliecIually to suppress them. | submit to
