DEsrRucrIoS OF CRoPs BY Han. on THE EASTERN
sHoRE-The hail storm of the 4th instant was very
violent in Kent and Queen Anne's counties, Mary
land, doing great damage to the wheat and some
what injuring corn and oats. Many fields of wheat
were entirely destroyed. The Kent Nelos says;
We have heard that Mr.. Thomas Browne, Geo. H.
Wilson, Thos Rnggold, r. w. RinggOd, I. T. Frisby,
P. T. SImmOnds V. Burgess and r. Gresham, Bartus
Wilkins, Thos. Burgess, and L. Nichols are probably
the greatest sufferers. One gentleman, Mr. Thomas
RinggOld, we learn puts his at about S5OOO. We
regret that we cannot give more authoritative
statement but have been unable, as yet to meet any
one from this section.
From conversation with several gentlemen from
QGeen AIMS we judge that its violence and damage
were even greater IN that county than IN Kent, and
that it traversed much greater section OF country

BREACH OF PROMISE CAsE-The Northampton (AIass)
Free Press reports a suit brought in the Superior
Court by lydia French against LuciUs- W. Stone,
for breach Of promise Of marriage damages being
laid at $4,000. The trial took place last week.
1t was shown that the parties became engaged five
years ago. and that from that time up to January,
1859. an active correspondence was kept up, Mr..
Stone being an ardent lover and from three to four
hundred letters were written by them. The en-
gagement was broken off by letter on the part OF
Mr.. Stone, in January 1859, on the plea Of financial
difficulties and "bOdily inrmity" These however,
did not prevent his marrying another young lady IN
September of the same year. He acknowledged |
that he had committed wrong in breaking on the
engagement and offered her five hundred dollars as
a PREPARATION. Miss French and her friends cOnsld-
cred this insufficient and brought suit against HIM
The jury retured a verdict Of $500 damages for
the plaintiff which she afterwards compromised for
Sl245. The suit created great excitement espe-
cially among the fair sex of Northampton, and the
courtroom was crowded during the trial, which |
seems to have afforded good deal Of merriment to
the spectators caused by Mr.. Stones epistles and
testimony. Miss French is a resident Of Elenburg
Ny.
JoHy DEAN AND HIS MARY ANN.-Old BOXER of
New York disinherited JOHN DEAN, the coachman,
who married his daughter, but it seems that NARY
ANN Will be pretty well off anyhow. The Albany
N. " Statesman says:
We think the statement that Mr.. Dean is poor is a
mistake. A deceased uncle left each Of Mr.. Boxers
four children $4,000. Mary Ann has already, or
will shortly have, that at her own disposal
Mr. Boxer left an estate valued at SSOOOOO. He
disinherited Mary Ann and who had always
taken her part and thereby offended the father BUTT
is understood that neither the two children who were
favored the mother, share in the sentiment OF
Mr. B. and doubtless the estate will in the end be
about equally divided. Mary AIMS only sister made
a very similar matchmaking the porter IN her
fathers store. But he was was a German, and Mr.. |
B., had so much prejudice in favor Of his country
men that he forgave the ofense.
