The plaintiff claims that by the violation of this marital contract she bas suffered damage to the arount of 25,000. She has retained as her counsel quite Au array of legal talent, including T. Walter Di esq., and Messrs. Weir & Gibson, of this city, and James M. Carpenter, esq., of Greens- burg. We understand that the plaintiff has in her possession some sixty letters, written to her by the doctor, all pointing to the fact of the epgsgement, which will be produced and Teed at the i. The high standing of the partes, the large amount of damages claimed, and other peculiar circumstances of this case combine to make itone of unusual interest, avd it will doubtless attract no litte atcention when it comes to tr . SINGULAR Case IX MicHIGAN.—Two years ego Thomas Bunbury, @ “promising” young mwenin Niles, Michigan, who had been twice elected tax coector, ran away with $6,090 of the city’s fund. The authorities offered a re- ward of $500 for his srrest, and farther resalts, as appears from the correspondence of the D: troit Post, were as follows: ‘The sheriff firs: made an attachment on the horses, buggies, ks, and stock in trade of the father, Fdward Bunbury, and sold enough of the same to realize the amonnt stolen. After the law’s delay in the circuit court, the case went to the supreme court, where Edward Bunbury recoved juag- ment against the county for the value of the property sold on levy and costs, <c. This ti ee throughout the coantry will have pay. g these proceedings young Bun bury was wandering through Texas with a young wife from a fine fami!y whom he married the day before he stolethe money. The reward offered for his arrest failed to bring h.m back. But last night the father offered to give the (on over to Sheriff Weimer on payment of the re- ward. The eheriff was increduk bat fol- lowed his informant to Bunbury’s residence. He was conducted toasmall but comfortable room upstairs, and there, languishing with ¢on- sumption, pale, emaciated, and suffering from p'tysical pain and torments of conscience, lay a heiplees —_— of humanity, for which Edward Bunbury demanded 8500. Weimer not having the cash in hand withdrew for counsel and advice. The youag man cannot now be removed, bat will be arrested as soon a= he can be. Thomas told the officer that heshad been in the house four months, and retates facts to prove his statement.”” A Narep Brips.—by nge perversion of legal principles, it was supposed” by our ances- tors that whosoever mat iklow who was administratrix upon the estate of her deceased husband, nes coo Hl —— and — ‘hereby possess himself of any property or thing purchased by the deceased husband, would be- come an executor de son tort, and would thereby make himself liable to answer for the goods of bis predecessor. Maj. Moses Joy became enam- ored of Mrs. Hannah Ward, widow of W.viam Ward, who died in 17%8, leaving an ins>lyent estate, of which Mrs. Ward was administratrix. To avoid the uupieasant penalties of the la on the morning of her marriage with Major Joy Mrs. Ward placed berself in a closet, with a tire. man. who stripped her of all her cloth- ing, and when in a perfectly nude state she thrust her fair, round arm through a diamond hole in the door of the closet, the gallant Major clasped the hand of the buxom widow, and was married in due form by the jolliest parson in Vermont. At the close of the ceremony the tire-woman dressed the bride in a complete wardrobe which the Major had provided and caused to be deporited in the closet at the com- mencement of the ceremony. She came out elegantly dressed in silk, satin and lace; and there was kissing all around.—Montpelier Argus A Worxixc Man.—A Massachusetts paper, lamenting the removal ot a wide- ke Citizen from its town, says that thirty-six years ago he entered the service of @ manufacturing com- any, and in that time haz not los: working over time he has mate, ae their re- ‘ds will snow, at least 400 days of active ser- vice for every year, and received compens.tion therefor. In ope month be made toriy-eight days ot labor. Doring this period he bas been & reader of books and of the journals of the day, taking an active part in politics, and now retires with acomfertabdle estate, a highly in- tolligent man, robust in body and mind. He has purchased’ @ farm in Plympton, county ot Plymouth, where he propos’ s to spend his days. Srontangcvs Comsrstisizity or Woop CuarcoaL.—The jeurnal of the German Chem- ‘cal Society makes the following statement in regard t» charcoal prepared by the destructive distillation of wood:—If such charcoal, twenty- .our hours after the completion of the pro ess ot preparation, is pulverized and lett standing in open vessels, there occurs a gradual elev -t.on o” temperature, which, in about thirty-six hours, culminates in open combustion. If the pulver- ization of the coal i+ not made until a! the lay e of three days, this phenomena does not occur.” The jour adds :—** Many experi- ments instituted in the same direction prove that weod charcoal, for something like thirty- six hours after withdrawal from the retorts, continues to absorb oxygen.”” ELZoTRICITY IN Nevapa.—The Virginia, Nev., Chronicle of Tuesday is responsible for the following: It has been evident for several days that the atmosphere has been highly charged with electricity. Ladies’ silk dresses bave emitted sparks when handled in the dark, sud the far of cats, when stroked, has shown the presence of a superabundance of the fluid. Yesterday morning, a gentleman in this c:iy, when dressing his little boy, plainly felt an elec trie shock while rubbing his son’s arm, ard the ebild a od his father to quit s ing —_ into him. ‘Tbese phenomena, accompanied by thun- der storms and cloud-barsts, indicate a peculiar condition of the atmosphere. Cur ror Cornys.—A French medical jour- nal reports the cure of the most refractory corns bg fr morning and evening applications, with a brush, of a drop of a solution of th chloride of iron. It states that after a forte'ght continued application, without pain, a patient who had suflered martyrdom for nearly forty years from the most painful corn on the inner side of each little toe, was entirely relieved; pressure was no longer painful, and the cure seemcd to be radical. Other and similar cases are reported as equally successful under the treatment. A Fickie Maip.— Hamburg, Conn., has recently had a curious love affair. Two brothers courted the same girl, and she en- gaged herself tothe younger, but asthe time set forthe marriage drew near the youth hat difficuity in obtaiming @ certificate. Mean- ile, the girl transferred her affections to the older one, aud, he baving armed himself with & certificate, they were married on the very day Set for the marriage with the younger brother THREE MasTEp SceooneRs.—A large wood- en tonpage is springing into existence at the east in the shape of three-masted schooners.
