side Rebecca Thomas, the fair plaintiff Is young lady
of twenty three well and rather above the med

pretty face. The defendant, Joseph s. White Is we'll
to-do farmer aged about thirtytwo, and "far to mid
ding in appearance The amount OF damages claimed
was SO 000
II seems that after long courtshp, running through
period Of six eight years. tho defendant White con-
duced the fair Rebedca orchard and there during
log under the spreading boughs Of apple tree tho
momentous question put TO the expectant maiden
and she gave tna but emphatic eyes to the tender
and loving inquiry.
Time wore on; the ardor OF the gentleman g passion
seemed in wise cooled by the promise OF the GEN
tie Rebecca to unite her fortunes with his own He
visited her, escorted her to parties, balls and camp
meetings, as he had been doing for six wears before
The fast that they engaged the next thing 10 it,

Tor her nnptuas, and had refused TO allow a young
TO pay his attentions because she was engaged I'm tho
midst OF all these expectations and attentions Mr. White,
10 the spring Of 1885, married another lady This was
the case which tho counsel for the plaintiff claimed they
had made out against the defendant.
On the other hand White denied the popping OF tho
question on tho log under the outrageous apple tree de-
caring that he only telling the lady amusing anec-
