Can't Put Nothip' Over on Him,
 B'GOSh

Bangor, Me, June 27,--Charles Me- Beath of Sheffield, in the backwoods of New Brunswick, adopted very un gallant course toward Sadie Jordan because, after he had courted her for ever so long and showered her with gifts, she changed her mind and told him that she had no notion of mar rylng him.
 ~Charles was willing to charge up his time to profit and loss," but the memory of the presents was bitter to him and so he brought suit against Sadie's father, she being under age, to recover the value of the presents.
 The case was tried before Squire William Harrison, and was heard by the entire population.
 Charles sued to recover on the ground that Sadie had broken her promise to marry him. on the strength of which alleged promise, and for no other consideration the presents had been given.
 The tilted one put in the following bill for things wasted upon Sadie Jordan, who fooled him:

First, to the falling oft or business of the roads. Second, to the increase in wages and the cost or materials. which are not met by the
