Every now and then notable trials for
breach of promise are reportedinthe news
papers the latest is attracting the pub
lie gaze at New Haven, Connecticut, where
Mrs Elizabeth A. Aver seeks to obtain
$40, 1000 damages from Oliver II. Clark,
who wooed and won but wouldn't wear
her The plaintiff is not a sentimental
chit. but Il staid widow of forty, and was,
when Clark crossed her path, engaged in
millinery business in New y ork. The de-
PENDANT is q rich and retired sea captain,
who. in floating into Connecticut has not
found d New Haven Of rest. Mrs Aver
offers no bruised and bleeding heart to win
the sympathies of the Jury withal; she
means business merely. When the captain
agreed to take her in tow he did not wish
TO have her numbered with the millinery
establishment. and advised her to dispose
OF it. She was fashionable tradeswoman
with a reputation and rich customers; her
trade WAS large and profitable, yielding
her an average income of 81 600 per annum
As She sold her business at his solicitation
in order to enter into contract with him
which he has declined to fulfil, she simply
desires to have hey loss made good. She
asks no exemplary damages, though the
case is such as seems to demand them
When the captain was bent on having the
milliner, 1t was she who proposed objec-
lions. "lour children" urged She My
children love me- and will raise no objec-
lions" said he; adding, Il know You do
not love me, Mrs. Aver, as | do you; but
when we are married know you will,
will be SO good to YOU She accepted
him. but the marriage was several times
postponed, and finally abandoned by him.
He alleged that the widow was in poor

MARROW ESCAPE.

A correspondent Of the Hawkins
Vile Dispatch says the house Of a
man named Davis, near Cochrane,
was struck by lightning one night
last week, with the following results.
Mr.. Davis was in bed alone, lying
with his head within two feet of a
studding, which was split and shat>
tered to pieces. His bed was cover.
ed with bricks and dust and SCOT.
His gold watch, hanging against the
wall Just over his head, was thrown
to the foot Of HE bed. His wife and,
/ think, two children, were on a bed
Opposite. This bed was also covered
with debris. yet all escaped un-
scratched. Bricks fell all over the
beds, still not one was hurt. The
mantle was torn into pieces. Davis
pistol, with every barrel of it loaded,
was lying on the mantel. The han
die was torn all to pieces, and the
pistol was found lying among the
bricks and dust, and yet not single
barrel was discharged. Everything
in the two rooms was literally COW
cred with SCOT, ashes and dust. The
family were completely covered, and
looked as black as negroes. 1t seems
that the family aid not know what
had happened. Davis says that he
must have been SO completely shocked
that he was entirely ignorant of what
had trauspired until his wife called
him and told him that the baby was
about to suffocate, as the house was
filed with smoke. 1t was then Davis
got up and discovered that his house
was on fire.
