BREACH OF PROMISE CAsEs.-The
following words of the London Ne,cs
furnish suggestions that may be prof.
tably needed in this country us we'll as
in England:
1t is scarcely possible to read trial
for a breach of promise without being
additionally Y convinced that IL is class
of action that ought to be abolished al
together. We do not say this from any
sentimental notions of woman's delica-
cy. To nsk for the payment of debt
might under certain circumstances be
extremely ndelicate, but the law does
not for that reason show any hesitation
in enforcing il; and n woman does not
lose her right to have a contract per-
formed because it may argue a certain
coarseness of feeling in her to wish to
exact It. The real objection to these
actions IS, that IL is contrary to public
policy to insist upon the unwilling full
hllment by one person OF an indisso-
'luble engagement to live with another.
II there Is any lesson to be drawn from
the unsavory teachings of the divorce
court, tits surely this-that nm unhappy
marriage is misery in which there are
no soundings. Other forms of wretch-
edness you may gauge, but not this one.
1t is an element of tragedy which may
enter into the most commonplace lives.
There is no couple SO vulgar or so pre-
else that, If You bind them together in
the daily and hourly contact of n love-
less marriage, they may not rise with
the occasion and furnish forth all the
horrors of a melo-drama. And there
fore we say the law ought to have no
hand IN driving man either by the
fear of pecuniary loss or by the threat
of exposure to marry against his incli-
nation. His conduct may have been
heartless enough, and the woman he has
deceived may have every reason for be-
the real crime against her lay, not SO
much in the breaking an engagement
which he cannot perform except in the
letter, as in ever making an engagement
which he lacked either the purpose or
the constancy to fulfill. And ifthe law
supplies, an external motive to matri-
mory when the internal ones have
proved powerless, 1t is simply doing its
best to make work for Sir James
Wilde"

they have frequent attacks, and are more
Eensttive TO the changes OF temperature. In
this condition, the nose may be dry, or n slight

comes chronic. the discharges are increased in
quantity and changed equality; they nrenOw
thick and heavy, and are hawlSed or cnughed

breath; the voice Is thick and nasal, the eyes
are weak; the sense of the smell is lGSsened or
destroyed; deafness frequently takes plnce.
CatarTlI Is that the person Is Obliged to clear

GURING DIPHTHERTA.

I
" Diphtheria is an alarming disorder,
whether it afflict a child or adult, and yet
| it can be cured 1t once by the application Of
! Railways Ready Relief Try it and You will
be convinced, however skeptical. Diphthe-
| ria IS a malignant sore throat, with some ad-
ditional and really fatal features Besides
the anguish occasioned by the rapid ulccra-
tion of such delicate part of the system, the
| membrane which SO speedily grows over the
throat, threatens speedy death from sufTo-
cation. There is no time for trihing in such
a crisis, The ablest medical men stand ap-
palled. They know not what TO do with a
feeling Of certainty, and yet the patient must
have instant relief, or expire. Then steps in
Railways Ready Relief like a protecting an
gel, and bids the sufferer live. 1t is applied
| to the throat, externally, with freedom a
little of it mixed with water is administered
internally. The patient revivcs. lie breathes
with more ease. He feels the marvellous
medicine inspiring his entire frame wi h new
vigor. He rapidly improves under such aD-
propriate treatment, and, in short time
walks forth, despite all predictions to the
contrary, rescued from the grave Could
anything be more sure or more simple Yet
Railways Ready Relief costs ONLY fifty cents
a bottle-about half the sum YOU would have
to expend for the first prescription written
out for you by your medical attendant This
is saying great deal for the virtues of
Railways Ready Relief, but not n word more
than it conscientiousiy deserves It will
promptly cure Diphtheria; will anything
else
As an evidence of the remarkable powers
Of Railways Ready Relief in the treatment of

"a, Coughs, and Colds, the reader is request

portant fact be borne in mind-Radways
Ready Reliefnever fails in withdrawing the in

The following case is one out of many that
we received in the winter of 1852, during
the prevalence of this disease at Albany, n
Y. Mr.. Gambril Of Albany, writes
'Three of my children were seized with a
peculiar sore throat, which has prevailed to
a serious extent in this city, of which great
many children have died. 1t commenced in
my family with Il sore throat, headache,
hoarseness, sore lips, sore eyes, then fever
would set in, and the skin turn to a yellow

my chl1ren on their merits. Ny trust was
well founded gave each of them four pills,

the lives of their children"

The Sale of PlthOEc CEty.

\ correspondent Of the New York
World writing from Pithole city refers to
the sale of the great Hoimden farm as col-
lows: 'tThe celebrated Holmden farm,
which gave Pithole its reputation, and di-
| rectly or indirectly has wrought such a
revolution in oildom, on the l4th instant

original purchasers from Thomas Holm
den, ana is now owned by Messrs. George
Il. Chittenden, Of Chicago, Illinois, and

MIA. The consideration is S2,000,000, of
which $3.50, 600 is paid down, and the bal
lance to be paid in monthly payments of
Si55, 600 each. This includes the whole
interest of Duncan & Prather in the oil
producing portion of the farm, we'll as
in the Pithole City lots, which are only
leased 10 their present holders.
We learn that it is the intention of the
new firm to sell these lots 10 fec simple

south Carolina AsoiIslonized.

The soul OF John Brown is "marching
on" Last week the constitutional con
ventioE o. South Carolina adopted an
amendment to the constitution of that
State, by the decisive vote of eighty-nine
to eight, wherein it is declared that sla-
very nor Involuntary seryitude, except in
the punishment Of crime, shall never be
re-established in that State. Who would
have thought, even twelve mouths ago,
that the rebeflicus and naughty Palmetto
State could, by the application of any
amount of compulsiou, have been led or
driven into the adoption of such meas
ure? Yet even she seems TO be in fair
way of becoming radicalized Another
important advance made by the conven-
ton was an amendment to the constitu-
ton giving the election of Governor and
Presidential electors to the people Hth-
erto the people of that State have been de-
prived of this privilege, all power being
concentrated in the Legislature, a body
not chosen by majority even of the white
population, out by the landed aristocrocy.
The State election will be held on the 18th
of October, and the Legislature will meet
on the 25th Of the same month, so that
before Congress meets, the State can have
ratified the amendment to the national
constitution, adopted a code for the pro
lection Of the rights OF freedom. aud in
fact have satisfied most, if not all, Of the
demands Of the President As most Of
the rcorganized Southern legislatures will

what TEr. Esnco2n,s Policy
Would k1aye Escca.

General Duff Green has written let
ter in which he says:
CATER the fall of Richmond I saw
President Lincoln there Ho told me
that he came to Washington resolved to
carry out, in good faith, the pledges that
he gave to me at Springfield, viz that,
as President, he would favor no measure
of which the South would have cause to
complain; and that it was upon his recon-
mendation that the constitutional amend
ment, proposed by Mr.. Corwin as a sub
stitute for the one offered by Mr.. Adams,
of Massachusetts,, was adopted by his
friends in Congress, as follows:
'That no amendment shall be made to
the constitution which will authorize or
give Congress power to abolish, or inter
fere, within any State, with the domestic
institutions thereof, including persons held
to labor or seryitude by the laws OF said
State"
In reply to an appeal which made to
him for peace, President Lncoln's words
were, in substance, as follows
'1f you want peace, come back into the
Union. If you wish to keep your slaves,
come in and vote, as States, against the
constitutional amendment abolishing sla-
very. [ cannot recall my proclamations
[. will be for the courts to decide whether
they are law or not. OF that you must
judge. But have the pardoning power,
and will use it freely"
"This conversation was in the presence
of Gen. Weitzel, Judge Campbell, late of
the Supreme Court, one of Gen. Weitzel's
aids, and several others; and was told,
and believe, that in consequence of the
conversation held with Judge Campbell
and myself, and the pledges then given
to us, President Lincoln, in letter ad-
dressed to Gen. Weitzel, authorized the
meeting Of the Virginia Legislature, &C
cording to the notice subsequently issued
in the Richmond papers"
