GREAT BREACH OF PROMISE CASE
an st. Louis-S100, 900 damages awarded by
the Jury
For several days an interesting case has been
before the Court of Common Pleas of St Louis, in
which Miss Efie Catharine Carztang sued Mr.
Henry Shaw for breach of promise of marriage,
laying the damages to heart and reputation by the
refusal of her glover" to make her Mrs. Shaw, at
the handsome sum of 100000 sum that would
patch up a considerable rent in Miss Efie's little
heart In the commencement of the suit, she had
fixed the damage she had sustained at $4,000,
but the she pondered upon the naughty
conduct of MIR Shaw, in proposing to make her the
idol of his hearts devotions aud the mistress of
Tower Grove, one of the most magnificent palatial
residences in the neighborhood of ST. Louis, and
then, without cause, as she ayers, having turned
away and left her plain Miss Carztang, to pine in
loneliness and endure the taunts of those who had
heard that she was to preside in the palace at
Tower Grove-the more she pondered over these
facts so humiliating to the pride of a sensitive
woman, the more aggravated grew the wound in
that little loving heart, which but a few DAYS
previous had beat responsive to every pusation of
his, until it required a whole hundred thousand to
repair the wreck of what had once been a-h4art
Having discovered that she had made a mistake
in estimating the damages sustained by this little
member at $40, 000 she had her petition amended
and the sum increased to $1,000
The st Louis Democrat gives us this description
of the parties:
miss Carztans is about thirty years of age.
Her figure is rather TALL but GRACEFUL she has dark
hair brilliant eyes, blonde complexion, and mouth
expressive of great irmness and decision of
character Mr. Shaw is about sixty years of age;
his hair is somewhat gray; his features are rather
sharp, but with an expression of countenance
anything but disagreeable-he is of great
wealth. and Tower Grove spoken of in the evidence
is one of the finest residences in the neighborhood
of St. Louis. Mr. Shaw is Of our oldest citizens,
and during long residence here has sustained
character heretofore unimpeachable.'
The case came up for trial on the Goth ult.
The promise of marriage was proven by Mrs Mary
Seeman, Ga grass "widow,') sister to Miss Fife,
with whom the latter lived, and crcumstantally
by other witnesses. An effort made by the
defendant to impeach the character of the fair
plaintiff for chastity, but she passed through the
ordeal unscathed. Five days occupied in
examining witnesses, and the I'd inst, as the
telegraph informs us the jury brought in verdict
for the disconsolate Fife, giving her the full amount
of damages she claimed. Thus the jury of St.
Louis has fixed the privilege of an old man of
sixty counting maid of thirty and not marrying
her, at 100000, pretty round sum to pay for
counting frolc.
''This is, we believe, the largest amount of
damages ever awarded by jury in suit of this
character. Probably the attempt to injure the
character of Miss Carztang may have Influenced
the jury in assessing the damages.

THE WEATHER AND CRoPs.-For a few days
the weather has been unusually cold for the sea-
son. There have been good showers of rain in por-
tions of the district, accompanied in several in
stances with hail
The crop, where "stands" have been OBJ
tanned, looks rather promising. Some weeks since,
there was considerable complaint of wheat. Many
of our farmers are harvesting, and in CONVEX
sation on Sales-day, the grain is reported to us as
being large and well-flled and the yield equal to
that of last year; which, by the way, unusual,
both in quantity and quality.
THE HAIL SToRM.-Dr. Feemster, of Bullock
Greek; sends word that he, in company with
James Guy and DR. McNcel, visited the track
