At the Manchester Assizes on
AUG. 7, before Boron Pollock, Miss
Alice Rainkstraw, residing at St.
Oswald Grove, Manchester, sued
Mr.. Joseph c. Nottingham, an engi-
neer in the Government dockyard at
Portsmouth, for damages for breach
of promise of marriage.
Mr.. Herschell @. C, and Mr.. Lass
cel!es appeared for the plaintiff. The
defendant was unrepresented by
counsel.
Mr.HerscheII said the plaintiff and
defendant met at the house Of a
friend in Manchester in the COM
mencement of 1869, when the defen-
dant commenced paying her marked
attention. One evening when they
were returning together from a tea
meeting, he asked her to become his
wife, and she consented. After that
a considerable number of letters pass
ed between them. In August 1869
he wrote a letter to her, in which he
wrote under great depression of
mind owing to her absence, but more
especially on account Of her health,
he having been informed that she
was unwell. Other letters of an af
fectionate character followed and in
one Of them dated Dec. I6, 1859 he
wrote, Il was thinking how much
you would be enjoying yourself at
the Band of Hope meeting last night,
bnt poor me cannot 60 to those
meetings now" Laughter. He
also wrote, ave must indulge in
hope. How sweet it is to hope for
our hearts sincere desire. However
small may be the ray, what satisfac
ton it affords to think it shall one
day be achieved. Such, dearest
Alice, is the longing desire Of my
aeart that we shall not be separated
as we are now.
He continued writing in this way
from time to time. He also sent her
verses from time to time, of which
the following was q specimen:
ask not If the world unfold
A fairer form than thine,
Tresses more rich in glowing gold
And eyes Of sweeter shine.
That thou hast lock of golden glow,
And eyes of playful light.
This went on until the present
year, the defendent obtained stu
alton in the Government dockyard
in Portsmouth; some time after he
wrote to the plaintiff: 81 am sorry
to hear that some Of your friends
should have insulted you about me.
1 must tell you 1 have resolved to
go to sea. 1 am going TO the West
Indies. l can see no prospect Of
keeping myself and q wife on my
present income, so have adopted
this course, and think you had bet
ter not refuse any reasonable offer.
laughter. My reason for doing
that is that 1 could never think of
taking you from home and placing
you in an inferior position" At the
time he wrote the letter he was ae-
tuslly paying his addresses to an
other lady, whom he has since mar
ried on the same income which he
pretended in his letter to the plain
tiff would not be sufficient to main
tain himself and a wife. He had
thus broken his promise to the
plaintiff after a five years courtshlp.
Tie plaintiff and her father were
examined. The latter stated that
the defendants regular salary in the
dockyard was 34lshillings per week,
besides what he earned by working
overWork.
The jury returned a verdict fol

Blue Earth County Correspondence.

Editor anti NonopCList:
Nothing remarkable has transpired
during the past week. The Fourth was
celebrated in grand old style at several
places in the county. Major A. C.
Voolfolk delighted the good people of
Lake Crystal and thereabouts by hon
ors to our forefathers.
Major G. K. Cleveland handsomely
spread the eagle at Eagle Lake and the
plebeians rejoiced.
Hon. John L. Macdonald. bf Shakopee,
paid tribute to the old flag and our
common country, at Mankato, for all Of
which he will long be remembered.
Hon. VIM. Window, built canals, i'm
proved water courses, and developed
the country generally at Good Thunders-
ford, and was duly applauded therefore.
Ali report very hot day, and strange
to say, no accidents.
| On the 9th inst the Republicans Of
Blue Earth county held their conven-
ton to choose delegates to attend the
Owatonna Congressional convention on
the 18th. The sentiment of the county,
irrespective of party, was well and
truly represented by their selecting
eight anti-Dunnell delegates. This they
dared do in farce Of dispatches received
during the day that Mark H. would
certainly be the nominee. There was
slim attendance, for which the worthy
chairman, John A. Reed, of Sterling,
accounted by the grasshopper excite
ment and general apathy in politics.
There is no little Indignation among
the people of this section at the course
President Drake of the Sioux City Rail-
road Company is pursuing to intimi-
date the people to surrender the right
of legislative control of railroads. He
has driven his opponents compactly to-
gether by his threats, and made his
case no better fast. Keep the ball roll
ing and sing Glory Hallelujah.

There is no need to trouble you or

his watch-chain. Gregory made of

be considered an integral part Of the

humbug. Under pretence Of being an
evil spirit you are nothing but collec-
ton of miscellaneous ideas; relic of
barbarism, and very poor one at that. .

sternly, rising from the chair, which
smoked as he left it, 81 have been pa

interrupting him. 81 am q philoso-

better proof than any you can give to
satisfy me-
ct will, eh?" shouted his majesty,
his eyes flashing fire. "By St. Dunstan,
I'll show you whether am the devil or
not.''
There was blaze Of lurid light, a clap
of thunder, and Peter Leplet vanished
forever from this world.
The next morning people commented
on the storm Of the previous night, and
were very much puzzled to account for
the smell of birthstone in his room.

the scale the more they act like ami
mails; the higher they are in the scale
the more pure and noble become their
thoughts and deeds. By disobeying or
living in wrong relationship to this law
of development, both the vegetable and
animal kingdoms go backward or degen-
crate to the condition from which they
arose. Mankind having been developed
out Of the lower creation, degenerates
from the same cause. A hog is selfish ;
fox cunning; a beaver exhibits me-
chanical genius. Some men reveal at
once all these traits. They will insin-
uate themselves into the confidence Of
the people and get themselves elected to
Office; and then they manifest their ig-
noble animal nature.
A man that has outgrown the animal
condition will never betray trust, no
matter what may be the temptation. A
man whose love of gold is stronger than
his love of honor and justice should
never be elected to Office of any kind.
People may not be blamed for unwisely
trusting man or party once; but after
they have been betrayed, they are
wholly responsible if they trust either a
second time. If the people of this State,
and of every other State in the Union,
would resolve never to trust any man.
OF political party, after they had been
betrayed once, we would soon get rid of
corrupt parties and dishonest men.
Men would not dare then to come back,
as they do now, from Congress and ask
to be sent back again, when they
have back-pay in their pockets. In
short, we never can have reform until
the voters solemnly resolve never to vote
second time for any man, or any party
that has once betrayed them.

Wright County Correspondence.
OTsEGo, Wright Co., Mir

OTsEGo, Wright Co., Mimi.
The people complain bitterly Of the
extravagant appropriations and reckless
expenditures of the last Legislature.
There is large class of farmers through
the State. and number of them in this
county, whose farms brings them in but
small incomes, and in order to meet the
demands Of the tax gatherers their
families are compelled to go without the
comforts of life; and the low mutter-
ings that are now heard in many humble
homes will before long burst forth in a
storm Of indignation that will sweep
political rings from all departments of
the government. They now compre-
bend the fact that corrupt political
party, while in power, cannot reform
itself; and regardless of the party ties
or party discipline the people are orga-
nizing to protect their rights and prop
erty from the thieving politicians that
infest them on all sides. This is what
the farmers and laboring men of Wright
county are working for. They regard
the St. Paul Press as their worst enemy,
and as pool of political corruption.
It's highest aim is to deceive its readers
and keep them in ignorance of the true
state of affairs. But the enormities Of
the monopolies do not end with the
Press. We have seen the President OF
the United States descend from his high
place to lobby for an increase of his
salary to $4,000 per year; and then
he recommends Congress to burden the
people with more taxation to help pay
that increase. He knows no motive but
self-interest. He is in the hands of tn.
monopolists, and they mould him t
their liking, as they would a piece o
putty; and with the country almost i,
state Of anarchy they are laying thei,
plans to elect him to third term.
Therefore, in conclusion, appeal t
you, in the name of justice and right. t
do your whole duly.
Sound the alarm through the Stat
and let the people understand the dan
gers which threaten them.
