plaintiff $50, the smallness of which amount
caused general surprise.

Breach of Promise of Marriage

A few days ago Mr.. j. Aston sat as assessor
in the sheriti's court, at St. Georges Hail,
Liverpool, to assess damages in the case of
Richards on VS.. Kay, an action for breach of
promise of marriage entered at the South Lam
cashire assizes. The defendant admitted the
breach and the only question which the jury
had 10 decide was the amount of damages to
which the plaintiff was entitled in consequence
of the Injuries which she had sustained.
The council for the plaintiff, in addressing
the Jury, said The plaintiff is a young wo.
man about % years OF age, and she lives with
her father, Mr.. Thomas Richardson, master
Joiner and builder, Of Bradbury, near Stock
port. She is dressmaker, and also acts as
housekeeper to her father. The defendant is
master pawnbroker, and is in partnership
with Mr.. Joseph Denton Of 8, Cross lane Sal
ford, and man in very prosperous way of
business. 1t seems that the parties did not
meet until the summer OF 1860 when they saw
each other at the Isle of Man. The defendant
appears to have been very much smitten with
the paintiff-in point OF fact, this is case of
what is called love at first sight-and he soon
afterwards asked her father to be allowed to
pay his addresses to her The father consent.
ed, and during the Whole OF his courshib the
defendant made frequent visits to the fathers
house. Several letters passed between them,
but in the spring OF last year the defendant
broke off the engagement with the following
letter.

4 AGRICULTURAL,
Loss from Weeds.

Very few of our farmers seem to be
aware of the great loss they sustain annu-
ally, from the growth of weeds of one
kind or another, with which quite too many
of our farms are ovsrrun. The late Sir
John Sinclair made some experiments on
this subject, the results of which we annex,
and which are worthy the consideration of
all cultivators who have failed themselves
to discover to how great an extent their
crops are lessened by weeds:
81. Seven acres of light gravelly land
We're fallowed and sown broadcast; one acre
was measured of, and not weed was pull
ed out of it; the other six were carefully
weeded. The unweeded acre produced Is
bushels the six weeded acres 135 bushels,
or 223 per acre, which is AZ bushels, or
one-fourth more produce in favor Of weed
ing. 2. A six acre field was sown with
barley, in fine tilth and well manured. -
The wedding, owing to great abundance
OF charlock, cost l2s. per acre. The pro-
duce of an unweeded acre was only 13
bushels Of the weeded, %. Difference in
favor Of wedding, Is bushels per acre, be-
side the land being 80 much cleaner for
succeeding crops. 3. Six acres sown with
oats; one acre piowed but once, and un-
manured, produced only II bushels An
other six acres, plowed three times, man
ured and weeded, produced 81 bushels
This experiment proves that oats require
good management, and will pay for it as
well as other crops. Ten bushels of the
increased produce may be fairly attributed
to the wedding, and the other ten to the
manure"

Our Own Faults.

Let us not be over curious about the fail
ings Of others, but take account of our own :;
let US bear in mind the excellencies of 9TH
er men, while we reckon up our O.. n faults,
for then shall we be wellpleasing to God
For he who looks at the faults of others,
and at his own excellencies, is injured in
two ways; by the latter he is carried up to
arrogance, through the former he falls in
to listlessness. For when he perceives
that such one hath sinned, very easily he
will sin himself; when he perceivcs he
hath in aught excelled, very easily he be-
cometh arrogant. He who consigns to OBJ
livion his own excellencies, and looks at
his failing only, while he is curious en-
gineer of the excelencies, and not the sins
of others, is profitable in many ways
And how? | will tell you. When he
sees that such an one hath done excellent
ly, he is raised to emulate the same; when
he sees that be himself hath sinned, he is
rendered humble and modest If we act
thus, regulate ourselves, we shall be able to
obtain. the good things which we are prom
ised through the loving kindness of our
Lord Jesus Christ.-S. Chrysostom.

An AGED Citizen Gone.

Bartholomew Davis, aged Sc years, died
at the residence of his son, John Davis, in
Shirley township, on the 3lst ult The
deceased was son Of old Bartholomew Da-
Wis, trader with the Indians at the time
the first white settlers came to this region
of country. When, and from whence he
came, we are unabled to trace, but have it
through tradition, that the Indians were
friendly to him, while at the same time they
warred to the knife against the white set
tiers, committing the most atrocious massa-
erss Imaginable. A narrative of an adven-
ture by party from this place (then Fort
Shirley against their Savage foes, 105
years ago, under the caption of A Relic Of
the past, is given on the first page of this
paper, and we doubt not will be interesting
to our local readers; especially to those who
feel an interest in the history of the early
settlement of this region. Old Indian
Trader Davis (by which name he was famil-
larly known tradition has it, first lived on
the Juniata, about where Bells Mill now
stands; but subsequently on its bank about
mile above the mouth of AughWick, where
1t joins the Juniata. He lived, died, and
was buried within the limits of then Shirley
Township; and what is somewhat singular,
Bartholomew the younger, was born, reared,
lived, died, and was buried within the same
bounds, then Shirley Township, though
since 1t is in part attached to Cromwell
Township. They both lie in the same
(Cluggage's) graveyard, the younger dying
at 80 years old. The age Of the older
Davis is not known; but when he was very
old, the writer (senior Editor yet retains
faint recollection of him, formed in his
childhood; seeing him frequently while liv-
Ing. The deceased leaves a surviving wild
ow, who is aged and infrm, besides children,
grand and great grand children, many Of
whom reside in the neighborhood of the vii
lage. 1t is noteworthy to state that Shir-
leysburg was the location of Fort Shirley,

They then tied themselves together round

or three feet deep. They had the resolu-

were seen in the water next morning at

heirs lose from the fact of his having COM

Lewistown gazette. [volume] (Lewistown, Pa.) 1843-1944, 1862-01-22

sa-A remarkable suicide has taken
place at Naples. A Mr.. Kenrick, an elder
ly married gentleman, appears to have
formed a iaison with Miss Gray, young
and pretty Englishwoman, with whom he
has been living at Rome and at Naples
1t appears that Mr.. Kenrick's relatives in
England, who are wealthy, paid no heed,
under the circumstances, to his applications
for remittances, and that the two thercupon
resolved on suicide From what subse-
quently transpired, it seems they must
have gone directly to the public gardens of
the Villa Reale, on the seashore, where, the
cafe being open, they took glass of rum
or rosolio. They then climbed over the
low wall Of the villa, where semi-circulsr
