will pay to summer-fallow, and then seed
the land down to grass without grain

rich our land, reduce the area under til

thoroughly, to kill weeds and develop
the latent plant food in the soil. Plant
food is the farmers capital. 1t is pres

soils but a great proportion of it lies idle.
Our profits will be in proportion to the

A LONG BRANCH RoMANcE.-Even
the perfdious ocean has its advantages.
A young man of good family and posi-
ton, without income of worthy mention,
came down here some weeks since with
the intention of marrying girl having
wealthy father-not with the intention
of living upon her, but as precaution-
ary measure against possible poverty.
lie found such girl, one of two chill
dren, and as she was sensible, amiable,
and moderately good-Iooking, he propos-
ed to her after courtship of ten days.
She thought this wooing rather brief, and
frankly told him she believed he wanted
to wed her fathers fortune rather than
herself. With equal candor he admit
ted that the pecuniary part had it's in
fuence, but declared that if he were rich
and she poor, he would be most happy
to make her his wife. She wavered for
half day, slept over the matter, and
the next morning felt constrained to de-
cline. The young man performed the
philosophic role, remarking that he was
sorry, out that he had too much to do to
occupy himself in breaking his heart
"We may do better than marry, Bella"
he added. "We might have quarreled
as man and wife, but we won't quarrel
as friends; and, after all, who knows but
celibacy is the greatest of blessings?"
Still, he did not surrender hope. He
proposed the same afternoon to teach her
to swim, and they went together into the
surf much further than prudence would
have dictated. He wanted to frighten
her, and he succeeded The uncertow
carried her out till she thought she was
really drowning. He plunged after her,
and brought her safely to the shore.
When she had recovered from her terror
she said to her companion: "You have
preserved my life, Charles, and it would
be ungratefui for me to longer withhold
my hand" Charles as may be supposed,
accepted. Papa is delighted with his
son-in-law for his heroic
achievement, and in the early autumn
the torch of Hymen will kindle the fire
upon this new domestic hearth.-Lonq

not open the door and set him at liberty.
The Doctor who had so kindly assisted
Mrs. Foster by giving his certificate,
which the more easily enabled her to get
her husband admitted TO the Insane Asy-
lum aforesaid, failed to appear before
this court, though, as the counsel said,
he was repeatedly sent for, and the case
continued once or twice to give time for
the Doctor to get here.
After the evidence had been closed the
court ordered the said Foster to be dis
charged and set at liberty.
Hon. G. III. Heath for complainant
Hon. Daniel Kellogg, Hon. Judge Reyes
for DIR. Rockwell. Heaton & Reed, Fisk
and Kennedy for Mrs. Foster.
The friends of Mrs. Foster give the
following version of the case:
The facts as transpired before Judge
Peck are as follows Calvin w. Foster
while at work in f. w. Crae's mill last
April was severely hurt by blow from
piece OF plank thrown from the saw,
which felled him senseless for a short
time, and caused him to be confined to
his house for few days. Since then he
has appeared insane at times, having
times when he was like himself. His
wife becoming alarmed at his violent
demonstrations had him examined by a
physician of high standing in his profess
sion, who pronounced him crazy, and ad-
vlsed her to take him to Brattleboro.-
Mrs. Foster requested the doctor to treat
him at his house bu: the doctor thought
that was entirely impracticable, and said
she had better take him to the asylum
for treatment. And so he made cer-
tlficate of his insanity, whereupon he
was taken to Brattleboro and put IN
charge of DR.. Rockwell, who examined
him and pronounced him insane, and so
certified upon his oath to the Trustees.
DR.. Rockwei testified that he examined
him every day while there, and thought
he ought to remain longer. Upon his
present condition, which was not very
unnatural, Judge Peck released him.
The grand jury also found bill
against Mrs. Foster and the attorney for
conspiracy to deprive Mr.. Foster of his
liberty. Mrs. Foster endeavored to leave
the town, but was arrested and commit
ted to Jail to answer to the complaint
And now comes the funny part of the
story. She had an interview with her
" insane" half, and by her powers of
induced him to mortgage his
home farm as security to a gentleman
who became bail for the lady's deliver
ance from Jail. Further comment is un-
