DIED BESIDE HIS CoFFIN.-A Most Singular
Temperance StOry.-The County Physician, says
the Newark papers of Monday, was called upon
yesterday to act in a most singular case-that Of
John Bcckert, aged twenty years, who died I'M
eXpectedly at the Alms-house from the effects of
rum. Ii appears that Bockert and another in
mate of the Aims house we're sent on Saturday
with a coffin to a house in Church street, where
the body Of person who had died of the small
poN was awaiting burial. On reaching the house
the coffin was found to be several inches shorter
than il ought to be, and the men started with it
again to the Alms-house On the way they
stopped in a number of drinking saloons, Of
course Speeding the smallpox with which they
had been in contact. They drank heavily, and
on aching the Alms-hOuse were considerably
intoxicated. As Bockerf, when drunk. was
quarrelsome and ugly, it was thought best to let
him remain in the wagon beside the coffin over
night. Blankets were thrown over him, and he
was left until morning, when he was found dead.
The coffin by which he W as lying was found to
be of the right measurement, wherefore the
body was placed In it, and buried in the Potters
field.

Desdem0na Sues 0thellO for Breach
Of Promise.


The curiosities of breach Of promise suits have
had a notable addition i'm a case recently decided
in an English court. Miss Alice Watkins, a
dressmaker, sued Mr.. William Rainey, described
as negro from Sierra Leone and an English
barrister, to recover damages caused to her lac
Grated heart by that gentleman's failure to full
NIL his plighted troth. In consequence of her
engagement with Mr.. Raney, Miss Watkins as
serts she had refused two offers of marriage, one
from a Welsh gentleman, the other from the son
of a barrister of long standing. From this she
would appear to have been a young woman
of unusual personal attractions or some social
standing. Yet by her own admission her first ac-
quaintanee with the defendant was made while
walking in the street one evening with her sister.
II was evidently case of love at first sight
Othello promised at once to marry the fair
dressmaker, ard Desdemona coyly consented.
Only to save time all tiresome formalities were
waived. and the happy twain repaired at once
to the barTister's chambers. On parting, the
dusky swain presented his spouse with a SOW
eIeign, and put her in an omnibus. After
while Rainey returned to Sierra Leone, where
he kept up animated correspondence
with his intended. In many of his letters his
promise to marry was renewed, but at his re-
quest all these valuable epistles were carefully
destroyed by the confding plaintiff. In spite
of the defendants energetic denals, the jury
promptly rendered verdict against him for
