he had no faith in medicines. Oh, no! he

General thus closes bis report:

"A breach of promise suit instituted
by young Boston woman, the daughter
of the keeper of fashionable boarding
house, against a young man who now
lives in Syracuse, N. Y, is just now at
tracing considerable attention. They
became engaged ten years ago, when the
girl was sixteen, and the youth, then
boarder with the girls mother, gave the
orthodox engagement ring and an en-
dowment life insurance policy for 50, 900
in the Charter Oak Company of Hart
ford, Conn. In 1859 they quarreled, but
didn't break the engagement, and in 1871
they made up again. But the perddious
lover had meanwhile fallen in love with
fair Maine girl, and, last month, quiet
ly married her. Our Boston girl was
wild when she heard of it a few days
ago, but, with an eye TO business, she
went TO Hartford, had papers served on
the insurance company TO secure the pay
ment of the SO, 600 policy, and has now
brought suit for $4,000.
