HYeuch cf PrOmise-Ye erGict Of S1.OOO.

The Cincinnati papers give us nearly every day some curious phases of the society in that city. The Commercial gives the evidence oI trial of a case for breach of promise, where Mary Hedrick was plaintiff and Henry Protz- man defendant The defendant appears to be man ot some property, belongs to respecta- ble family, and occupies good situation on one ot his fathers boats. Several witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff. The lady herself testified to the frequency of his visits, and his preventing others from paying their ad- dress, for he said he wanted me himself" said the witness. No man could have acted more gentlomanly until the fall of 1852, and his att tentions continued afterward; he said all would be right and that he intended to act honorably: and on one occasion, that if he could get her to love him as we'll as another had loved him be- fore, he would marry her. No particular day was fixed for the marriage The day after the marriage he would go Che said) to California, and she told him she was willing to go any where with him. He has often told her that the happlest moments he ever spent were With her. Toward the latter part of their acquain- tance he wanted her to go and board somewhere In the city which he would pay for, and she told him that as his wife she would 20, but under no other circumstances. He destroyed two of his letters in which he had spoken of a marriage.
 The promise of the defendant to marry the plaintiff was plainly shown. It seems that the defendant had seduced the plaintiff under pro- mise of marriage, but the action was not brought for seduction. The plantitf $ counsel on the trial endeavored to show that some other men were attached to the lady and would have mar red her, but the court excluded the testimony upon the ground that no special damages were claimed upon that ground. The lady claimed that she had lost good match by the defen- dant's promising to marry her and keeping her company and by keeping other gentlemen away. The jury rendered verdict of S7,OOO for the plaintiff We should be inclined to doubt that the lady was injured to that amount by the defendants not fulfilling his promise to marry her, although 1t was perhaps little enough for the rest of his acts If the jury intended the verdict to compensate her for that it may be we'll enough, yet 1t may be serious ques- ton whether such verdicts are promotive of pub lie morals. A woman is under more danger of yielding too much, under promises of marriage. if she can be certain that loss of virtue under such promise, will insure verdict of S7 ,OOO- Albany Express

THE DENNIS IN TROUBLE. - Susan and Kate Dennin were playing Romeo and Juliet at the Troy, \. Y. Museum, a few evenings since, when some of their enemies began to hiss Kate. There was great excitement and angry exhoi- tions were made between the partisans and op- ponents of the actresses, when Kate, who was playing Juliet burst into tears This turned the tide in her favor. At this juncture, Susan came upon the stage, and placing her arm about her sisters waist, turned to the audience and exclaimed
 What has my sister done? Who can say anything against my sister? A voice, 'Nobo- dy.'] That is 80. Say whatever you please in regard to me, but do not abuse my sister, Don'tcry, kate-go on with your part. Nobo- dy has anything to say against you."
 This happy melo. dramatic addenda was greeted with three times three," and with a great effort Kate subdued her emotions. and continued her performance.
