A Novel Breach of Promise Suit.

A rather novel breach of promise suit
has just been begun before the Superior
Court for Windham county, Conn.—
David L. Rock, a sturdy young man of
Waurengan, two years ago began to pay
his addresses to a bright, black haired,
black eyed girl by the name of Agnes
Greene. The swain bought little pres-
ents and paid his sweetheart the most
undivided attention, but Agnes did not
think enough of David to become his
partner for life, and plainly told him so.
David didn't like the "mitten" a bit,
but watched every opportunity to enjoy
the company of Agnes. About three
months ago John La Rose appeared on
the scene, and his attentions to Agnes
were reciprocated and after a short court-
ship they were married. After the knot
was tied, all the chances of David Rock
were gone, and he now brings a suit for
$200 damages against the girl and her
husband.
Perseverance merits neither blame
nor praise; it is only the duration of
our inclinations and sentiments, which
we can neither create nor extinguish.
