The plaintiff lives in Pulaski county. The dafendant is a forehanded and well-known farmer, who lives in Noble township, this county, lie is not by any means a gay Lothario, and nothing short of the strongest positive proof will convince his neighbors and acquaintances that he has trifled with the tender affections of Mrs. Koach. The case will attract general attention and much interest.It has had a singular effect upon Major Me Fad in. He declares that he is longing for a mother in-law, and will posit-! ively sue somebody for $5,000, this week, if some lovely “female woman” does not come forward and offer him her hand in marriage. He will not permit his ardent youthful affections to be trifled with any longer by the cruel ones who have left him lone and desolate so long.
