A Hard case Of jilting.

A case is pending in one of the cir
cult courts involving a rather nice point
Of law. A middle aged German sever
al years ago fell in love with very
beautiful young girl, and to his infinite
delight his passion was reciprocated
He was man of fair education and
we'll to do, while his betrothed had ne
yer enjoyed the advantages of boad-
ing school, and her mother was not able
to send her to school. AS she was quite
young, the lover concluded it would be
better to postpone the marriage year or
two and send his sweetheart to school in
the meantime.
The younA girl agreed to this, aid
her mother was greatly pleased with
the arrangement. Accordingly the
betrothed damsel was sent to Europe
and placed at one of the best schools
in Germany, the whole expense being
paid by her intended. The parties cor
responded, and the letters of the maiden
for time were full of gratitude to her
benefactor and overtiowing with. love
for her betrothed The lover, not con-
tentnswith showering money and gifts up
on the object of his affection, gave her
mother uote fora considerable
amount, and the old ledy, like pru-
dent financier converted it into cash.
A shorte time ago the young lady
returned, a beautiful woman, highly
accomplished and with notions rather
above those formerly entertained by
her. She had listened to the. voice of
fattery, and learned the often fatal sec
ret that a fair face is Of itself fortune
She now looked with disdain; upon her
betrothed, and when urged to become
his wife, fatty refused This WAS a
terrible blow upon the fond lover. who
had waited so long and patiently. for
the fruition of his hopes. But all his
entreaties were unavailing; she. no lon
ger loved him, and would not marry
him. There was no help for it; he
could not compel her to become his
wife, nor could she make restitution of
the money he had expended upon edu-
cation To add to his modification,
the note he had given her mother was
presented for payment. This he
thought was rather hard, and refused
to pay it; as he had received no consid-

Covering plants, whether with earth
or straw, should not be done too soon,
nor left until too late. The best time
is just as the ground is about to freeze;
if covered before this, there is danger
of the plants heating, and consequent

GRAPE-vINEs.-T is the best season
in which to trim grape-vines, unless
they can be pruned very early. in the
spring before the sap has commenced
to flow. There; have been SO many
methods given in previous numbers of
the Agriculturist, that it will not be
necessary to repeat them here; but
whatever method is employed it is lest
to leave upon each carte one or two
buds more than are necessary, in order
to guarded against winter-killing;- the
extra buds may be cut off early in the
Spring. Do not cut the cane off close
to bud, but leave about an inch of
wood above each bud. e

To BolL Corn BEEF. If the piece is
very salt, let it soak over night. If
young beef and properly corned, this is
unnecessary. For boiling, pour cold
water over it after washing eff the, salt,
letting the meat be we'll covered. The
rule is twenty-five minutes to pound
for boiling meats, but corned beef should
never be boiled; it should only simmer,
by being placed on part of the range
where. the silnmering can be- uninter'
rupted from four to six hours according
to the size of the piece If it is to be
served cold, let the meat remain in the
liquor until the next day. and then
bringing it to the boiling point just be-
fore serving. For rump pieces this is a
superior method. A brisket or plate
piece may: be's inimered until the bones
can be easily removed; then fold over
the brisket piece, for1ninga square or
oblong piece; tie over it piece Of
muslin, place sufficient weight on top to
press the parts closely together, and set
it where it will become cold This
gives us a firm, solid piece, which,
eaten in slices, is aldelightful relish

Death of Edgar a. Poe.

He started from Richmond on the I'd
or Sd of October. What happened dur
ing the next four or five DAYS is involv-
ed in considerable Obscurity, but the
facts, as far as they can be ascertained,
appear to be these: He arrived at Bal
timore safely, but between trains unfOr-
tunately took a drink with friend, the
consequence of which was, that he was
brought back from Havre de
Grace by the conductor of the
Philadelphia train in a state of delirium
1t was the eve of an exciting municipal
election, and as he wandered up and
down the streets of Baltimore he was
seized by the lawless agents of some po-
litical club and shut up all night in a
cellar The next morning he was taken
out in a state of frenzy. drugged and
made to vote in eleven different wards
The following day he was found in the
back room of a headquarters, and
removed to a hospital on Broadway,
north of Baltimore street. He was in
sensible when found, and remained 50
until Sunday morning, Oct 9TH. A
doctor and nurse were with him when
he first showed consciousness. ''Where
am II" he asked. The doctor answer
ed, You are cared for by your best
friends" After a pause, in which he
appeared to recall what had occurred,
and to realize his situation, Poe replied,
i" My best friend would be the man who
would blow out my brains Within
ten minutes he was dead
o let him pass he hates him
That would upon the rack Of this rough
world
Stretch him out longer
He was buried on the 9Th Of October
in the burial ground of the Westminster
Church, at the corner of Fayette and
Greene streets. The funeral was at
tended by a cousin, a member Of the
Baltimore Bar, a class mate, who was
afterward Judge of the Baltimore Su-
preme Court, and Methodist minister,
relative by his marriage. The spot
selected for his grave was near the grave
of his grandfather, Gen. David Poe.
There was vacant place left, but it was
filled several months since by the body
of Mrs. GLENN, who died, upward of so
years old, in the same hospital where
her ''dear Eddie" expired some twenty
two years before, and was buried at her
own request by his side.
''Out are the hghts-out all
And over each quivering form
The curtain-a funeral pail
Comes down with the rush of a storm.
And the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unwilling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy MAN.
And IFS hero the conquerer Worm"

SERIOUS ACCIDENT on THE CENTRAL
The night express train south on the

at Milton last night. The locomotive
went down the embankment and the

went off the track Buck, the engineer,
and his fireman were both injured, but
it is thought not seriously, though the
engineer is considerably burned by the
escaping steam. We are not able to
learn that any others were injured. The
train, up to the hour of going to press,
has not not arrived in Rutland.

ABOLITION OF THE DEATH PENALT'

ABOLITION OF THE DEATH PENALTY.
Mr.. Buel of Middletown, introduced
the first bill of the session, in the House
on Friday morning and it created quite
a sensation, inasmuch as it was bill for
the abolition of the death penalty. The
St. Adams Messenger says:
at came near being squelched when
the question on the second reading was
taken, but Mr.. Hebard of Chelsea, saved
it by few timely remarks, in which he
explained that common courtesy de-
manded that the bill should have the
benefit of the preliminary forms of leg
islation. Great is prejudice" When
this bill is reported from committee, we
may anticipate lively and interesting
debate, and have the satisfaction of
knowing how much this Reform has
gained in Vermont since last session. "
