PEMBROKE, CHRISTIAN Co., KY.
Monday morning.
The usually quiet litile.c city of Fem
broke was thrown into social convul-,
sions this morning BY the act of one
brave little woman OF twenty.
1t seems that Mr.. VIII .Forwood, Of
Louisville, a spoony old soldier of
60, attended the Christian County
Agricultural and Mechanical Asso-
citation, on October 9th, 1878, and
there had The pleasure of forming the
favorable acquaintance of several
Christian county bellies. 1t seems,
Furthermore, that his tickle heart fell
PROSTATE at the shrine of these fair
formed women, as Yellow Jack bends

comes corroborated to your CORES
pondent that he has addressed in
routine several OF these symmetrical
specimens of sisierhood, that their
decisions have each in turn been Of
a most unfavorable cast for the sen IL
mental sutton; that invariably the
plaintiff has had TO sustain the costs
and from each decision IN the lower,
he has taken appeal to higher
court, hoping TO creep into the conjn-

For several months past he seems
TO have had good reason 10 believe
that in this quarter .'all was well and
would end wcll,D but to-day has

THE FACTS 9
In this case nre: - d Al
Mr.. Forwood has been visiting for
several months, an accomplished
young lady residing near tliis place,
in the hope of forming q co.partner-
ship for life. About ten days since
he paid enc of his business calls and,
left a contract for the young lady to
sign. This instrument was something
after this order, as near as the facts
could be learned: .I,. ,.-.
The young lady, after becoming
his wife, to do his entire household
work, such as cooking, cleaning up,
sewing &c.
That she should be attentive and
faithful at all times.
That she be allowed only one hun
drcd and fifty dollars per annum for
her money portion.
That REIMBURSEMENT Of dover
was agreed to.
Tha, slie should be permitted 10
visit her relatives only once year,
tn remain one week, twelve dollars
extra being allowed her for travelling
expenses, and IN case she remained
logger thai the stipulated time she
should forfeit the twelve dollars Ell,
tire ana pay her own expenses 10 and
from Louisville.
There are several other minor feat
ures to this remarkably ouesidcd
contract, but il is needless TO further
detail them. 1t is sufficient 10 know,
that this sensible young lady came to
our city to-day, knowing thatthis
lovenble artizan would be here, ell
route TO Hopkinsville TO obtain the
license, and what happened soon

words. She learned that his lord

inent merchant here, awaiting the
coming of the evening train for your
city, whereupon, in company with
her father, she entered therein. I'M
daunted by the presence Of at least
twenty gentlemen, she thus address
ed herself TO the object OF her journey
"Mr. Forwood, consider all verbal
contracts and understandings be-
tween us as null aud void. This mat

II to be dropped immediately" She
then very modestly retired, giving
the floor 10 her father for further re.

as q cold-blooded beast aft for trea-
son, stratagem and spoil"
Tho objective case was governed
by the following noun, 1t seemed, for
no reply was made and the matter
seemed destined to meet with cool
treatment. Thus ended the fate Of an
overhppefil Louisvillian, his "sweet-
mess wasted on the desert MIR Moral ;
