For some time, II 10 alleged. one Of our
prominent citizens has paid more or less
attention 10 a young and beautiful
widow Of this town forgetting or at least
not bleeding the advice OF the immortal
Mr.. Weller 10 his son samuel TO "be-
ware Of the vsdders."
He nov claims that be Was not serious
in his intentions and that he Was not at
tached to her, but however that may
have been, the widow became attached
70 him, and as he seems TO have lost
interest In the matter she has attached
his property, which 10 form Of attach
ment that he does not enjoy.
The result 10, that be finds himself the
defendant In a first-class breach OF
promise case and his questionable atti-
tude towards the widow will be given an
airing Ia the near future.
The parties in the case are 90 promi-
uent that IL 10 feared no court room will
hold the vast crowd DESTROYS Of attend
ing the trial, so IL will be held in New
Hall, on Tuesday evening, August 9th,
under the auspices OF the Good Cheer
Society of the First Universalist church,
for whose benefit the proceeds will be
devoted.
In other words, il will be mock court
trial, and 1t promises TO DO one OF the
most enjoyable affairs OF many years, as
a large number Of our leading people
will participate In the proceedings.
The committee having the trial in
charge have engaged Col. A. V. Newton,
the we'll known lawyer-lecturer OF Wor'
cester, Mass, to attend to the details
and conduct the entertainment.
Col. Newton has had remarkable sue
cess in conducting similar entertain.
