Our law reports yesterday contained an
other of those amusing performances known
a. breach-of-promise trials, of which we
have spoken more than once already. A
German maiden asserted that man nam
ed Cratz promised to marry her, and after
wards refused to do so, whereupon she
claimed damages. Being put upon the
stand as witness, she swore to her state
ments. On the other hand, Cratz, being
sworn, denied them all, and testified that
he never made any such promise, but that,
on the contrary, when she asked him to
marry her he fatty refused, and to clinch
the matter, told afterwards that he was
married already. Here was the whole case
- the two interested parties being the
only Observation-Disclosures, the jury
promptly brought in verdict of $500 -

CoNNEcrIcUr.-The town meetings were
held in Connecticut last Monday. One
hundred towns have been heard from, the
Democrats carrying seventy, and the Re-
publicans thirty. The Democrats gain
twenty three and lose none. The New
Haven Register says: e tss
These twenty-three towns elect 80 men,
bers Of the Legislature. Of these, the
Democrats had in the last Legislature IT,
leaving clear gain of % !!-and making
a change of A against the Radicals
which would give US majority of % in
the House, conceding the balance Of the
towns to have gone as in April-and they
could not possibly be as bad now as then.
The result shows that tho people are
alarmed at the course Of the radicals and
are deter mined to save the country from
their hands 500 hGa Tsso l5ie,

The CATHOLIC FAIR.-Thc affair-no
pun intended-was success throughout.
We attended on Friday evening to hear
the address of Rev. Martin, and we'll paid
for the time spent. The subject of his lect-
ure-"What is man 7-What ought
man to be?"-was well treated, and cal
culated to cause his hearers to think.
That man is something more than a labor
ing machine for the satisfaction of human
necessities, or the qualification of luxuries
and tastes, is fact we all realize, but, un-
fortunately, are too apt to forget in tho
hurry and hustle of our work-day life.
The lesson of higher aims and duties was
ably, even eloquently, in culcated by the
speaker, in a way to impress all his
thoughtful hearers.
After the lecture the fun commenced
an election, begun the previous evening,
to decide who should own handsome sill
yer castor, was prosecuted with all the Wig.
or Of an exciting political canvass, Rev.
Father Lowry and VIM. Alsip had distan-
ced all competitors, and the battle was
hotly contested by the friends of both par
ties.a Votes cost ten cents each, and now
one was ahead, then the other. ''Five
dollars on Alsip p "Ten dollars on Father
Lowry p "Ten more on Alsip u And so it
went on until the polls closed, when the
castor had netted the neat sum of SlO6, 80.
The remaining articles were then sold at
auction and the proceeds of the Fair
were found to foot in the neighborhood of
