trouble to glance at them as he throws
them away With most business firms a
circular goes no further than the waste
basket of the clerk who opens the general
letters. As rule, the lists BY which the sd.
dresses OF circulars are prepared contain more
names OF people who have gooe ont of business
than OF those who remain; and if the address
mas been changed, some years usually elapse
before the list has corresponding alteration.
Bot yet more ignominious reception attends
the circulars that are seDt to private residences.
Half of these missives never get beyond the
doorway, and are not read at all; OF the re-
msiuder, at least half are merely glanced at
and thrown away without a thought. The few
that reach those for whom they are intended
and are actually read are as likely as not to
produce an unfavorable effect upon the readers,
who may at once Conclude that the thing ad-
vert'sed IS catch-penny affair. If it were up
10 the standard they often thiok, it would not
be obtruded in an Irregular way, but would be
presented according to the custom o. lrgiti % ate
trade, through newspaper advertising columns
We have 10 mind two notable experience s.
that of twenty-five year advertiser, and that
OF well-knowo house which has been steadily
advertising in the best newspapers for fortv-
seven years. All men like these, who have
studied the subject as science come to the
same .conelusion-that ju5iciously composed
advertisements ia journals of good character
and wide circulation are of immense value
while the rest are for the most part worthless.

Especial 10 Tue FreSs.l
PENNINGTON, March PA breach of prom
Use case of great local interest has occupied the
attention of the spring tetm of our Supreme
Judicial Court now ia session here, Hon. W,
w. Virgin. Justice pre- iiing. The case was
opened os the 9Th instant and was given to the
jury yesterday afternoon.
The plaintiff. Hannah Holley is fair look
ing maiden lady about IS years of age, the
substance of her case as tesJfe By her self, is
as follows: She had lived 10 defendants fami-
iy some fifteen years prior to the death Of his
wife (her sister) T; that few weeks after her
death defendant made love to her, telling her
how much he loved her, kissing her goodnight;
also showed her a schs dule of his property, and
that after some hesitation she finally consented
to become his wife.
The defendant, George Manter, is about 67
years of age and one OF our leading farmers,
and has always sustained a high reputation
among our citizens as an upright man in all his
dealings, He is said to be worth from SIS 600
to $2O,000. His testimony in the affair puts an
entirely different phase on the case. He testi-
fed that the plaintiff lived in his family; that
she was clairvoyant spiriualist, and woman
of very high temper; that she made trouble be-
tween bis daughter aud her % other to such an
extent that the daughter left home and went
West, aud came very near breaking up his
family that after the death of his wife he sent
for bis daughter, and after some delay she came
home and took charge of his house, which
greatly dissatisfied plaiatiff. who had subse-
quent to the death of her sister till that time,
been defendants nousekeeper, and finding she
could not control defendant she left his house,
he paying her $1.75 per week for the time she
kept house for him The defendant further
testified that he did not make love to the plain
tiff; never kissed her, and never dreamed of
such thing as marrying her. He also charged
the plaintiff with attempting to black mail him
in this matter.
The plaintiff had no letters to show or wit
nesses to corroborate her statements.
The case has created the most intense excite
ment throughout, and the court room has been
crowded at every session. Fl. L. Whitcomb,
Esq, conducted the case for the plaintiff; S. G.
Belcher, Esq, for defendant. The case was
given to the jury between five and six o'clock
last evening, and this morning they reported
that they were unable to agree upon verdict.
1t is said they stood six for plaintiff and six for
defendant.
