A French provincial paper relates an ep.
isode of love and war which has lust been
brought to light at Pontarier. 1t appears
that q young widow of that town had the
misfortune to have handsome Prussian
corporal billetcd upon her. Fritz was gal.
liant and protecting, and, in spite of her pa.
triotism, Cupid succeeded in gaining pos.
session of the widows heart. TIE war over,
the corporal left for his native home, prom.
ising to name the happy day. Last week
the widow received her lovers orders to
publish the marriage bans, bat in the ar
dor of her affection she forgot all about her
neighbors' feelings. The consequence was
that, rs soon as the town heard of the in.
tended nuptials, the most indignant repair
ed to the widows house, and smashed up
all her furniture, and would have probably
done the same with the widow, but for tho
arrival of the police. About thirty persons
were arrested and sentenced to imprison-
ment. The widow has since sold of and
gone to Fstherlsnd to join her soldier lad
die.
