in, but there is no indication that the devo-
tees of fashion will speedily adopt them
AS usual, coats are both double and single
breasted, but the latter have the preference
for summer ware.
VEsTs.-At presentvests hayea tendency
to be long; the high roll appearsto lead on.
Single breasted and double are in vogue,
but the former, with q small rolling collar,
or without any collar, will be the prevailing
style. The double-bIeasted vest is invarl-
ably cut without a collar a. . .L. f...- .
PANTALooSs.-They are cut smaller than
heretofore, In many cases quite small, ana
the tendency Is that they will continue TO
become still smaller. They are cut plain
and straight In the leg, with occasionally
spring of from eighteen to twenty inches at
the knee. PantaloOns have tendency to
be made plain throughout as they continue
tn grow smaller; the welted seams are get
ting out of style. Welted, corded and
notched seams are also disappearing. AS
a new feature. q cash-pocket is placed on
the left of the pantaloons, sort OF conf
paniOn piece to the watch pocket, and the
pistol pockets behind, If desired. Garter
bottoms are coming into fashion among
the more dressy gentlemen, for driving,
horseback riding, street and party wear
As they make a greater display of dress
than any other pantalOOns, they should be
made from elastic goods, and worn with
considerable care. .... .. ....

chose-told her that widower living in
the township had taken fancy to her looks,
and would like to marry her-advised her
to marry the widOwer, as he was richer
than the defendant, and finally abandoned
visiting her altogether. The defendant
plead release by her, from the contract,
which he attempted to prove in this wise:
He had promised to take her and another
young lady, Miss NJ, to ride on the fourth
Of July. Toward evening of that day
Miss M. IS brother called upon the aflianced
lady, saying that the defendant had re-
duested him to come and take her in his
buggy, and shortly after the defendant
drove up with Miss NJ. in his buggy, and
they rode to Salem. Here the whole party
regaled on ice cream. but the evidence did
not show who paid for the entertainment
It is presumed the defendant did. Alter
the ice cream reception the party called
upon Mrs. d., who inquired OF the plain
tiff, ''TIow is this that you are not with
your old beau?"--to which she replied
jocosely, as she claims, "Oh! have traded
him Off for better one" The gentlemen
then changed partners. The plaintitf got
into the defendants buggy, and rode to her
home with him, and Miss NJ. rode with
her brother. The defendant took the jOcose
remark seriously, and testified that she also
said, "aDd will never have anything more
to do with him" This part of the conver-
sation she denied, and this was the release
set up, attempted to be proved. aud relied
upon as defense to the action. 1t should,
perhaps, be stated that the defendant ad-
mtted the promise, but claimed that the
time tor the wedding was fixed only once,
and then they were not married on account
of the sickness of her mother, and after
that she never asked him to set a time. The
jury awarded the lady two thousand three
hundred and seyenty-tiye dollars dam

A Breach Of Promise Case in
MahOning County.

At the recent session of the Court of
Common Pleas of Mahoning county, a case
was tried which excited much interest.
The HerdldS correspondent says:
1T was suit of breach of promise of
marriage, brought by Nancy j. Knowles, a
maiden lady of about twenty seven years
of aye, against VIM. w. Cook, bachelor
Of forty-nine, both residents of Goshen
township. The defendant is farmer
worth some $4,000 After occasional visits
he proposed marriage, to which she assent
ed, and the time was fixed for the wedding.
When the time arrived she had prepared
her wedding garments and was ready, but on
some preteXt he postponed the happy day to
a later period. Four different times were
appointed for the marriage. The last
period named was the first good sleighing.
In January, 1865, there was a fortnightls
good sleighing, and still the bridegroom
did not come to claim his bride. When She
spoke to him on the subject, he said he was
so busy hauling saw logs that he had not
time to attend to it. lie afterwards told
her his health was too poor to marry, and
gave her liberty to marry euy one else she

Gent's FaalaiOmN.

A fashion article in an exchange, gives
us the following facts about the latest
styles of gents clothing: .,......
CoATs.-Coats are now cut shorter than
heretofore; they are less wide in the shoul-
ders, giving not so much Of the Herculean
style; the side seams are shapely and small
er. The low roll of the collar continues as
before. The dress coat is cut with low,
wide collar, which cannot be buttoned up
high. The wide collar was introduced last
winter, but will not probably become gem
eral Until autumn. AT present, wide collars
are mainly confined to fancy coats. All
coats are made plain andisoft, without stiff
fleming or wadding. Little or no work is
bestowed on the inside, most of them being
made without back-facing. The edges are
made in variety Of ways to accord With
the material, but the plain edge is In favor.
If bound, the wide braid is the most FASH
ionable, either doubled over the edgeor laid
fiat. Velvet collars are sparlngly lndulged

at that time that the Democratic party,
as they called themselves, met In Con-

the war was a failure, demanded a ces-
sation of hostilities and peace on any

My friends, SO help me God, If the

crime against our nationality, say
that the American people ought to put
its seal of lasting reprobation upon
every man claiming to belong to that

It will rise again before them wherever

inspiration that taught the American
people to turn away from the soft
speeches and dark pleadings OF that
base and abject party. Surely 1t
is not too much to say that from that
time the democratic party should be
dead in the eyes OF the American peo-
ple-dead and deep buried out of sight.
And, with this history before US, wish
TO ask candid democrats q have NO
doubt there are some such here how
they can rely upon the promises OF a
party which betrayed them in opposing
their country by declaring that we
never could put down this rebellion;
when, within twelve months from the
date of that prophecy, every armed
rebel had surrendered at discretion,
and was begging such terms of our

confidently made by that party during

have no right to make such a demand;
and if any one Of their victims, in the
light of the events 1 have spoken OF,

An Amusing Court Scene.

A WITNESS WHO WOULD NOT he BADa-
Erred.
The report of late trial in cincin.
natl. which we find in the Gazette o.
that city, contains one bright passage
The case was one in which the heirs Of
Mrs. Schoield-an English lady ol
eccentric habits, who died in Cincinnati
In 1S53-endeavored to persuade the
court to set aside the will on several
grounds. The principal witness was q
Mrs. Cheesebrough, aged seventy. She
had been asked half a dozen times as to
the age of one of Mrs. Schofeld's
nephews. The report continues:
Al tell you did not know his age.
His birth register is in England, and j
never went,to see it. r.....

haps proper to say to you that you must

use of answering the same questions

That Remarkable Traveller who was
Lately I'm wheeling.
Many of our Wheeling people, espe-
cially among the G Germans, will remem-
ber the subject of the following para
graph which is from st. Louis paper.
The Demoerat of that city, referring to
the expected arrival of Mr.. FIR. Schaefer,
a noted German foot-traveler from La
Crosse, Wisconsin, says: "He is now
about thirty years of age, considerably
deformed, but of an enthusiastic mind.
He was born in Carleshafen in Kurhes-
son, and at the age of nine years be-
came SO interested in the study of his
tory that he determined to see the
world himself. He was poor, but this
did not deter him. His first trip on
foot and alone, with no money, and no
baggage save what his :knapsack con-
tained, was in 1647, whenhe was young,
and continued through the German
States and Russia, Afterwards he con-
tinued on through Europe and Great
Britain, and thence into and through
Africa. Then he took, UP Asia, going
through that country. Not long since
he came 10 the United States landing
in Boston, travelling on foot. toaWash-
goes from ST. Lonis across the country
through Utah to California.
"Schaefer is feeling well and enjoys
his migratory habits exceedingly we'll.
His ambition appears TO be to travel
over every part of the globe on foot,
and he bids fair to accomplish that OBJ
.ject now. His expenses are very small,
and these are made ITO him by friends
whom he makes wherever he goes. bis
portfolio contains, among other things,
the autographs of crowned heads, dis
tinguished literary and scientific men,
wherever he has been. and is q curiosity,
with sketches and testinonials which
have been given him by all he has met.
The energy of the man entities him to
success in his travels"
