We feel obliged to the indianapolis Sentinel, for
the very handsome and complimentary terms in which
it has been pleased to speak of this paper, but we beg
leave to correct a mistake which the editor of thai
paper has made, accidentally we suppose.) If he
will be good to refer to the head of the Prince
ton Chronicle, he will find that it is devoted Agri-
culture, Literature, General NelcS, and Amusement
and not to any sect party Indeed, far from the
Princeton Chronicle being Democratic paper, we
would beg leave to state, that the Editor is as I'M
compromising Wing be found in all the
land. But he does not pretend to advocate either
WHggery or Democracy, and the Democrat is as
welcome to the use of his columns, in any fair and
honorable discussion of politics, the Wing. The
Chronicle is strictly neutral paper, and is conducted
on strictly neutral grounds. Although we feel in
debted to the Editor of the Sentinel for the recom
mendaion which he has been good enough to give us
we hope he will have the kindness to correct this err
1t is calculated misead the public mind in
reference to this paper or its relative standing to the

BREACH OF PRoMIsE.-A breach of promise
lately tried in England, the damages LAID at 1000.
The defendant had paid f5OO with costs, as he con-
sidered that equivalent for the ladys disappont
ment. The counsel, in addressing the jury for
the defence said -ssentlemen of the Jury the plain
tiff is entitled to damages, and tell you under his
Lordships correction, if you are OF opinion that she
is not entitled to more than 50O, after produce
the order made to lodge that money in COURT that your
verdict ought to be for the defendant. don't dispute
never dd-the right of this lady to get comPensa-
ton, and his counsel advised him to lodge that sum,
which he thought would have brought this matter to
an end. and have saved the public investigation,
noying as IT must be to every one concerned. We
may thus sum up the case. This lady has lost a
widower Of 53, whose means we Will show you are
moderate-who commands with bis demesne and all
something less than f400 year. She lost him and
his fortune, and gets f5O0. Now what prospect is
there before her If he insisted on his rights he
might have left her young widow without any sup
port. That is one consideration. He, however,
thought whether right wrong-or his counsel
thought-that he was not worth more than f50O
(Laughter.) Is there, ask young lady who sees
me now-and indeed, l had, in this case, Jury of
pretty girls to address Laugher)-and could easily
impanel them in this court, my lord loud laughter
Were you, ladies, in that box, to you would say
more than this-Woud you rather have a wdower
of 53, with five little pledges hanging on his back,
with fortune say of f400 or ESQ on hand at your
disposal Ladies of the Jury, have you agreed to
your verdict (Great laughter.) There famous
poet who wrote of lady-you have read this, my
lord. After giving history of the lady, he described
her as rather fond of the male cloud aughter)-
indeed believe this is propensity most ladies have
(Laughter) Now, she had to draw comparison,
not between of 53 and girl of 20, but between
a man of 30 and one of %.
The question asked she looked at each and
Immediately and very candidy said, I'd rather have
two of FIVE and twenty than one of fifty" (LouC
laughter) But, gentlemen of the Jury, the friend:
of this young lady think differently. They are o
opinion that this widower of % should pay-for what
Compensation in damages for the loss she sustained
Why, believe the damage she sustained could neve
be estimated at f5OO.
The Jury retired and after an absence of nearl
half an hour, returned verdict for plaintf-f70
damages, and sixpence costs.

precaution must be taken to avoid them. Near DON
