htcnDt0ld, PUgfniQ, Wdy I'd, 1894:
DEAR Srn-lt becomes me at this time, TO
express to God my gratitude for the means he
had made use Of, in restoring my long lost
health, by the use of medicine called Pola.
delphis or India Extract. For the last FIVE
years have been so grievously afflicted with
rheumatism, that have at times almost wished
for death to relieve me from my suffering
seeing this medicine advertised, sent for
box, and do declare, that since have began
to use it have never felt a pain, and am sure
that by continuing to use it for short time,
shall again enjoy my usual health, and be
able to support my family, as heretofore. In
closed, send you three dollars, for two box
es, which you will please to pack up carefully,
and Mr.. Berney will bring it safe to me. You
may tell the world it ismy opinion, that the
PoladleLphis is the only medicine in the world,
that will cure the Rheumatism. With joy and
gladness. Yours, VIM. G. MEYER.

| Breach of Promise of .Marriage.-The Portland

Pease, VS.. Lewis Stetson for breach of promise Of
marriage, in which the plaintiff recovered $500 dol
lars, OF the defendant The defendant is stated to
be widower OF about 48 years OF age-and the lady
about 95. In addition to breach of promise, the
old gentleman seduced her--she having child by
him. Hardly week passes but what we see an
account of trial for broken promises. We should
think, from the many heavy verdcts which have
been awarded in our courts of justice that the Cen

and less negligent in fulfilling them.
