A MATRIMONIAL ADvERTIsEMENT:--
French lady advertised some months ago, 10 the
Partisan journals, under the initials A. u, tina,
she was young, handsome and worth two mii,
lions, and was anxiou. to get married, but oio
not care whether her husband was rich or poor
She invited the aspirants to her band to send
their photographs. A month afterwards, nav,
ing in the meantime received fifteen hundred
applications, she started journal, soliciting SUB,
scriptions from all her would husbands, and
promising to publish her reply to the respective
candidates in her new journal. She Immediately
received several thousand francs, the aggregate
amount of the subscription money, and forthwith,
published all the letters.
The journal ceasing to appear after that hrst,
and it seemed last issue, the befooled parties
now appealed to the court, where the trial OF
the ingenious lady has lately taken place
