,''r MARCH %, 1879.
For the last three days our courthouse,
galleries and aisles, has been packed with
people in attendance ON the breacE-of.pro-
mise case Of Miss Julia Schultz Us. It. S. w.
Gisener no case for years has excited so
much interest here. The evidence was
both amusing and affecting, and the reading
OF some Of the lettcrs-of which about fifty
were introduced-at times threw the au-
dience into such commissions of laughter
that it was more than the sheriff and his
assistants could do to preserve order.
The plaintiff is faded, love-stricken
maiden OF thirty-tiYe, and the defendant Il
careless. good,looking country pumpkin OF
twenty-five. They were engaged for seve-
raj years, her parents Directing to the match,
and he putting it Oft from time to time, even
after their consent was obtained, until
finally be wearied OF it, and was married
few months ago to another. The counsel
Messrs. Shefiey and Bupgardner for the
;plaintlff, and Messrs. George NJ. Cochran
and Meade F. White for dcfendant-have
made very able and eloquent arguments on
both sides, and the case will go to the jury
to-day. Both parties to the suit are resi-
dents Of Augusta county. The amount or
damages claimed is $1,000.
1 The final passage Of the debt bill by the
Senate with the House amendments IS hail-
ed with satisfaction and relief by the large
majority OF our people, and any further az
itation of the question is earnestly depre-
Gated by the mass OF thinking citizens, who
fully realize that they will have to pay, and
heavily, too, for every demagogue speech
hereafter made on the subject. The speeches
of Senators Brooke and Phiegar at the large
mass-meetinS last court-day, which they at
tended by invitation. has done much to-
wards the enlightenment of the public
mind, and the time these able gentlemen
lost from their seats in the Senate chamber
could not have been better spent in the in
terest of the Commonwealth.
The recent unexpected deaths OF the two
prominent citizens OF your city, .Mr. ID. D..
Hartsook and Or. Charles W. Smith, are
sincerely regretted here, as both had many
friends in the city and county.
