CHAPTER II.

From time immemorial, court-week
had been period of high festival in
Pleasant Valley; but 1 could not help
fancying, as we reached the inn, that a
more than ordinary interest attended the
term which was to decide the great case
of Saunders VS.. Littleton.
Having casually remarked that l had
comeup in company with the distinguished
Mr.. flourish to try that case on the part
of the plaintiff, ] speedily found myself
the object of almost as much curiosity as
that eloquent counsel himself That the
very ingenious efforts made to acquire
information respecting the private affairs
of my former felIow-student and Miss
Bessie failed, was owing partly to my nat
ural discretion, and partly to the fact that
of all which had transpired since / left the
village, / was even more ignorant than
my inquisitors themselves.

SUPREME COURT.
Samuel SAUNDERS
as.
ELIZABETH LITTLEToN.

Oudamon County, IS: Elizabeth Littleton was
attached TO answer Samuel Saunders of a plea of
trespass on the case upon promises; and thereupon
the said Samuel Saunders in his own proper per
son complains. For that whereas heretofore, to
wit, on the first day of April, in the year, at
the town of Pleasant Valley, in the County of
Oudamon aforesaid, in consideration that the said
Samuel Saunders, being then and there unmar-
ried, at the like special instance and request of
the said Elizabeth Littleton, had then and there
undertaken and faithfully promised the said Eliza
beth Littleton to marry her the said Elizabeth
Lttleton, she the said Elizabeth Littleton under
took and then and there faithfully promised the
said Samuel Saunders to marry him, the said
Samuel Saunders, in q reasonable time then next
following. And the said Samuel Saunders ayers
that he, confding in the said promise and under
taking, hath always hitherto remained and con
tinued and still is sole and unmarried, and hath
been and still is ready and willing to marry the
said Elizabeth Littetou; and although reason
able time for the said Elizabeth Litteton to marry
him, the said Samuel Saunders hath elapsed
since the making of the said last mentioned prom
Use and undertaking, but contriving and fraudu-
enty intending craftily and subtly TO deceive and
injure the said Samuel Saunders in this behalf
did not nor would within such reasonable time as
aforesaid at any time nftervvarcis, marry hin,
the said Samuel Saunders, but hath hitherto Who'll
ly neglected and refused so to do, to wit, at the
town of Pleasant Valley aforesaid, in the county
aforesaid. Wherefore the said Samuel saunder:
saith thathe is injured and hath sustained damage
to the amount of five thousand dollars, and there
fore he brings his suit.
Orleans independent standard. [volume] (Irasburgh, Vt.) 1856-1871, 1856-02-15

arts if she were not, that Sam Saunders
and Bessie Littleton would make very
odd couple!
A year and more passed without max
ing much change in Pleasant Valley.
Sam studied, and I smoked, and Bessie
firted, sometimes with Sam, sometimes
with me, often with any newcomer that
relieved the monotony of village society.
She danced before my comrades eyes
like will of the wisp, or tempting mir
age towards which the laden caravan
tolls its weary way, always sustained by
seeing it just ahead, yet never diminish
ing the distance that still remains to be
passed.
Our admission to the bar came at last,
and we separated, I to build air-castles
and blow smoke-wreaths from a fourth
story window in Wall street, and Sam
to open an Office in his native village,
some ten miles from Pleasant Valley.
Amid the novel excitements of city life,
our village scenes, and interests, and
friendships, soon grew dim and distant.
l began to think of them as Of a different
sphere, with which had lost my connec-
ton; and I even found myself speaking
and thinking of the fascinating Bessie as
pretty little girl whom I once knew in
the country.
1t was some time in the third summer
of my professional ife-I can hardly say
of my pract5ce-that l strolled into the
rooms of Mr.. Flourish, the eminent coun-
sci, whose Office was two floors below me.
l had got into a habit of doing this, for it
was pleasant to see clients even if they
were not my own, and to see that fees and
retainers still existed, and were not, as my
own experience had almost led me to be-
lieve, traditions derived from a by-gone
age.
"Quidam,'' said my learned brother
flourish to me, "you studied law in Pleas
ant Valley, did you not?"
1 nodded.
Wouldn't you like to take turn up
there next week? am going up to try
a case"
l could not help expressing my wonder
that any case should arise there of suffi-
cient importance to call from the city a
counsel so eminent as Flourish.
"Itis queer case," he said, /" a breach
of promise and the queerest part of it
is that the plaintiff is Of our own profess
sion"
Taking up the bundle of papers which
he drew from the great heap on his desk,
the first one which met my eyes was the
following declaration
Orleans independent standard. [volume] (Irasburgh, Vt.) 1856-1871, 1856-02-15

ny's explanations of his theory of the
spell The consequence was, that Squire
Saunders began to be looked upon in all
that region with great respect, as man
OF tremendous and mysterious powers;
and, as he possessed a wonderful faculty
OF shaking his head, and looking wise,
whenever any question of law was ppo-
pounded to him, his practice increased i'm
mensely.

principal questions upon which there was divi-
sion Of opinion between England and the United
States in relation to Central American affairs
have been settled and arranged by treaties be-
tween England, Nicaragua and Honduras respec-
lively. Any other treaty in relation to the at
fairs of the last named States, and tending to
form an alliance between England and the United
States, is an Infringement upon the traditional
policy of the country since the days of Wash
ington, which is to avoid all entangling ALI
ances. We are afraid that Secretary Marcy has
spoiled the reputation of lifetime Of diplomacy
and committed very grave error Of impolicy.
