Important to Lovers.

An opinion was filed few days ago
in the Supreme Court in the case of
Charles Markley, bachelor of fifty
three years, against whom Eliza kesser-
ing, maiden of thirty eight, obtained a
verdict of S99S75, in the Lancaster
County Court, for breach of promise of
marriage. The parties in this love affair
lived in Maytown, Lancaster county.
An engagement of marriage took place
on Sunday, the 10th of August, 1879.
The courtship had been very short, and
was minus the warmth of heart usually
displayed in such preliminaries. Indeed,
the engagement was spoken of as a most
extraordinary affair. Markley purchased
hia lady love q number of presents, and
seemingly prepared for the wedding
day. What fire was in his heart, how
ever, was suddenly cooled, and one
evening he told Miss Kessering, who
was seamstress, that he guessed he
was too old and lame to get married. He
gave as a reason that his father was
lying at the point of death, and it
would not be proper to marry under
such circumstances. His sweetheart
never spoke to him again, and straight
way instituted proceedings to recover
balm for the affliction of her heart The
jury before whom the case was tried was
business like one, and by their verdict
they calcusated to the very cent the in
jury Miss Kessering had sustained.
Markleys appeal to the Supreme Court
was based upon several reasons, the
most important of which was that the
alleged contract of marriage had taken
place on Sunday, and was, therefore,
invalid, the same as any other contract,
business like or social, made on that
day. The opinion of the Supreme
Court, in sustaining the verdict of the
jury, says there is nothing in any of the
assignments of error to warrant rever
sal. The case was properly submitted
to the jury, and the fact that the con-
tract of marriage was entered into on
Sunday could not avail, in view of the
evidence, which was overwhelming to
the effect that the engagement had been
subsequently recognized by Markley.

Mr.. Edison has put his electric light
to sleep for little while, and turned
his genius to the manufacture of
shirts. He has invented laundry de.
fer. He has hoisted the black flag
against washerwomen. The shirt is
made in imitation of very fine linen,
though it is compounded of material
of which Mr.. Edison has the secret.
There are 365 layers of the material,
which permits Of clean shirt for every
day in the year. the wearer only being
put to the trouble of ripping off the
outer layer. The collars and cuffs are
detachable, and are renewed with the
same economical simplicity. These
shirts can be had at the exceedingly
reasonable price of s. per half dozen.
The only trouble with the inxention is
that it is yet in the mind of the in
ventor, not having got upon his back.

Guiteau's Condition.

WASHINGTON, June 26th.-General
Crocker, warden of the District Jail,
says the stories of Guiteau bearing
up so well during the past week are I'M
true, but that he has lost five pounds
within the last ten days and has to be
tempted to eat. He keeps up very
well before the few visitors admitted to
see him, but the guards at the jail see a
marked change in him. Gen. Croker,
however, thinks he may keep up pretty
well, and, if his vanity is properly
played upon, will go through his part
on Friday without breaking.
Guiteau's Death Warrant signed.
WASHINGTON, June Goth. -Guiteau's
death warrant was signed by Clerk
Meigs, of the Criminal Court, this morn

A Congregational minister in Connec-
ticnt has formulated new creed, which
reads as follows: "This church is an as
sociation of believers in Jesus Christ, as
ISOLATED for the purpose of mutual edit
cation in truth and righteousness and
for the promotion of Christ's kingdom in
the world. We believe that the princi-
pies which constitute Christian disciple
ship are the two commandments which
Jesus gave. Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart and mind
and soul and strength, and Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as myself. We be-
lieve, therefore, that any man who ac-
cepts these commandments as binding on
conscience and life, and who seeks to
guide his conduct, with Gods help, by
them, is disciple of Christ, fully emit
tied to the rights of Christian fellow
ship" Mr.. Bradley does not believe in
the verbal inspiration of the Scriptures,
and in several other respects his ortho-
doxy is unsound. Quite furry has
been created in the church by this action
on the part of its pastor, and a split is
likely to be the result.
