THE EVENING STAR. Scenz tw ax EnGuisn Court.—Mr. Lister of Leeds, aged fifty-five, brought an action against a widow aged sixty-one, for breach of Promice of marriage. Mr. Justice Blackburn, before the trial fairly commenced, said he “Rever knew this action brought by a man when the man recovered & shilling.” The conneel for the plaintitf, with great pluck, urged his client’s claim, “Ido not ask large damages, but I hope the jury won’tinsult the eee is “I hope they will, [laughter.] he Judge. “ . 9 Gentlemen, you will find a verdict for the Plaintiff.” AJaryman. “The question with us is the amount that will carry costs.” The Judge. ‘The question to be considered by you is, whether this man’s feelings asa for- tune hunter have suffered so astocall for compensation.” “My Lord, do not call him a Mr. Seymour. fortune hunter.” The Judge. “Well, then, 2 gentleman of fifty-five, seeking to marry a widow of sixty- Dine with & jointare.” | Laughter.] The jury returned @ verdict for the plaintiff for one farthing. The trial is generally des- cribed as a discreditable farce. One respecta- ble paper calls it a pantomine, with the Justice for pavtaloon and the Judge for harlequin. It was not thus,” says the Lodon Spectator, ‘but by patience and corteous firmness, by rep2l- ling a)! popular feeling and meintaining legal Tightas sacred, that our olden raceof Judges Upheldthe di-nity of their office.” @J An English Court lately, at Leeds, a gen- tlemnn ot 55 bronght suit against a widow of 60, for breach of promises.

Persons of sedentary habits troubled with weak- me s, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack o appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, con stipation, &c., deserve to suffer if they will not try the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS, which are now recommended by the highest medi- eal suthorities, and warranted to produce an im- mediate beneficial effect. They are exceedingly agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supercede all other tonics where a healthy, gentle stimulant ig required. They purify, strengten and invigorate. They create a healthy appetite. ‘They are an antidote to a change of water and diet. They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours. They strengthen the system and enliven the | mind, They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach, They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation, They cure Diarrhea, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ache. . They make the weak strong, the langnid bril- jant, and are exhausted nature's great restorer. They are comzosed of the celebrated Calisaya bark. ~intergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix rum.
