YOUNG MEN, LOOK WELL TO YOUR Ways
An interesting case, to the defendant at least,
was tried in Jefferson CO., Vn. during the
early part of last week. 1t was an action for
breach of marriage contract brought by Miss
Beal, against fa;hless gentleman by the
name of Miller. The young lady was poor
and pretty, of fair and unbemished fame; the
gentleman was one OF the first families, as
they call themselves, rich, aristocrotic, and
thought it doubtless capital trick to win the
pure affections of the humble and lowIy born
md then desert her TO the worlds heartess
charity. The jury happened to be men of
nooler souls than the heartless defendant,
and made him respond to the tune of eight
thousand dollars. Mr.. Miller will probably
take the hint, and so should all Others in like
cases offending.
