MERCHANT SUES A GENTLEMAN'S DAUGHTE
FOR DAMAGES AN INTERESTING SUIT An

A MERCHANT SUES A GENTLEMAN'S DAUGHTER
FOR DAMAGES AN INTERESTING SUIT AND
ABLE SUMMING-UP
In the Court of Common Pleas in Lon
don. Oh June 18th, Mr.. George Ballhatched
Prust, hardware merchant at Birming-
ham. brought an action to recover damages
for a breach of promise of marriage from
Miss Golden, the daughter Of a gentleman
living at South Norwood.
Mr.. Waddy, Q. c., and Mr.. Lane ap-
peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant
Parry and Mr.. Lanyon for the defendant.
The plaintiff was q commercial traveller,
residing ut birmingham, and early in 1873
he met the defendant, and, as sometimes
happened, he came, saw. and was conquered.
The Young lady was then living in her ia.
theirs house at Horrabridge, in Deyonshire.
On the 7th of March the plaintiff wrote, Of
feripc himself as candidate for the hand OF
Miss Golden. On the 18th the young lady
replied:
..Mv father is at present from home In
Germany, but, of course, before relating any
thing TO him l must consider your means,
ETC.. myself, after which, if my opinion is ia
yorabiy inclined, will lay your proposal be-
fore him." At this time the defendants
father was living like gentleman in Devon
shire. but soon after he came into consider
able property, derived from mines, and went
10. live at mansion in South Norwood.
Though the father did not answer, the plain
tiff got q letter on the Goth from the defen-
dant herself, in which she addressed him as
"MY DEAR GEORGE"
She invited him to her fathers house, and
he visited there, and stayed there. The plain.
tiff observed the difference In the position OF
himself and Miss Godden-be only com.
merciai traveller and she living In very good
style; and therefore on the 18th Of May ne
thought it his duty to write to Der ana
offer to release her from her engagement
upon this ground if she should think ut. he
said, "Why, dearest, before asked you TO
be my life-partner understood from your
brother that your father was captain OF some
mine; but it seems from what saw that ne
is living at the rate Of $500 or s. ,ooOa year.
If this is Carry's style at home, then George
must give up real love and retire from the
field for want of gold-dus.. shall always
love you as long as life lasts; but George :

The Grasshopper Raid In Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July 14.-Alluding to
the impression which seems to be prevalent
at the East that nearly the entire State is
oyerrun with grasshoppers, and the crops
utterly destroyed, the Press OF this morning
publishes a statement showing that the total
damage done by the grasshopper raid is
equivalent simply to loss OF about one
twelfth OF the usual crop, or about the same
as il the average yield throughout the State
was diminished from any source something
over one aud half bushels per acre below
the general average. 1t extends over suly
about one.tenth of the area of the State, and
involves about one-thir,eenth of the popula-
ton. The crops outside Of the devastated
region promise most abundant yield.
