Supreme Court on Wednesday, before his Honor,
Judge Bedle. The parties in tho case are rest
denis of Greenville, the plaintiff being about 40
years of pge, while the defendant—a wealthy
man—has passed his 80th year, and has been a
life-long resident of his plsco of abodo. The
-case, as ail scandal cases do, excites a great deal
of interest, and, os s con6' qaenco,tho eoart-room
was filled with interested spectators during the
entire day.
Mr. J. Dixon, Jr., appeared for the ol&intlff,
and Hod. CortUnd Paraer and Jamas Flouring,
Esq., tor the defendant.
The declaration Bets forth that this action was
brought to recover damages (or a breach or a
contract of marri ge; tbat on the Oth of Jauu try,
1866, defendant engagi d to marry pUlnliif when
ever so required; sreoud, tbat defendant promised
to marry pbilmiff within a reasonable time: third,
that defendant promised to marry plaiutiff as
soon os a certain (divorce) suit was decided be
tween him and Caroline E. Vreeland, and finally,
that be proml-el to marry plaintitf on the Ist ot
Jane, 1867. all of which be failed to perform;
Mrs) Harrison was first placed on the stand
and testified that she had lived In Greenville dir
iDg the post twelve years; that her husbtnd had
been dead one year when'she first eommoacod to
reside there; she bad obtained a livelihood fir
herself and her daughter by teaching school; she
related the circumstances which led to her ac
quaintance with Mr. Vreeland; she first spoke to
him in 1862,in making application to borrow s,>o,
-which ho lent her upon the security of a lex coy
which had been bequeathed her; subsequently
in tho Spring of 1863- the defendant
called upon her and proposed marriage;
the month of Jhly, 1863, was fixed fjr
the time when they ebonld bo noited; they
frequently talked opon the subject, bat the time
arrived and the defendant was not prepared to
make his offer good; in (he month of Septetnoor,
of the same year. be began to complain of the In
terference of bis children and relatives; Bhe told
him that If he was to be influenced in that way
against her she did not want to come into bis
family,’when he replied that he would not give
her opto please anybody; the defendant fre
quently caUtd opon her nntil the Spring of 1861,
asking her to have patience wi n hitn, for ho
would soon be able to marry her; witness had
in 1868 given up her school, and when she re
minded him of this, he said he would reuiu aerate
her for her loss and proposed to give her 81,JO i;
aho consented to take the money; whoa ha
brought the money he also presented a paper,
which be desired her to algo ; sue kept the pi
per a few days, took a copy of it, and signed it,
delivering it to him with bor signature attached;
she told him when she gave it to him that it
sounded like a n lea Be from his promise, and re
marked that if he had desired lo bo relieved ho
should have said so at an earlier day; he replied
that he aid cot want a release, and that
be would not give her Dp on any con
sideration; witness told bim that she could
not remain in that position, and that if be
was ready to get married she was; he continued
bis calls as formerly, at the Intervals of about a
week between each visit until In the Spring of
1865; he Bald that he had been unjustly taxed to a
large amount, and that when he had settled that
matlertheywonld.be married; daring the Sum
mer of 18G5 he was more attentive and kind than
eho bad ever known him to be; ne soon afterward
weDt to New York to live, and In November ho
was brought home In a state of Illness; soon after
he returned a lady called at witness's house and
represented herself as his wife; witness then
wrote to defendant, and ho came to hnr hot so
as soon #b he was able to do so, about five
weeks allerward; he then said that the woman
was not his wife; that be was only living with
her; to which witness replied that in such a case
she woaid have no more to aav to him; at this
Mr. Vreeland seemed to be greatly displeased,
and asked her forgiveness for bis bud couduol,
and confessed that he bad treated her shame
fully, but he said if she would give him her
“forgiveness, sympathy and aid,” he woold
try to do better aud that be wonld marry her; he
said that be was ‘ the victim of a d d con
spiracy," that the woman, Mrs. Shelley, wanted
to prove that she was marri, d to him, and that
It was in witness’s power to prove the contrary;
witness then consented to help bim If he would
tead “a decent and respectable life” and marry
her on the following Christmas; he promised to
do so and she consented to become a witness for
Mm; by her testimony he gained his cause; after
the trial was finished he came to see her, and told
her that she bad saved one-third his proporty,
and tbat be “onghtnol only to marry her, but
to worship her;” be then began to plead for more
time to perform bis marriage contract, and told
her that Mrs. Shelley bad three years time in
which to appeal the ease, and that i(
she should then gain it she wonld arrest
him for bigamy; he spoke of having
Mrs. Shelley indicted for perjury and
sent to prison, bnt witness snggested that she
conld be sent to California, to which place eho
had offered to go If Mr. Vreeland wonld pay her
expenses; negotiations were entered Into to get
the woman to go, bnt they were broken off by
Mr. Vreeland, who said tbat witness must wait
ttareo years, or, If she preferred to commence a
soit, 6he might do so; that be wonld fight her to
the lost. Upon cross-examination the witness
stated that In the first commencement of the
courtship there was no “love passages;" subse
quently there were many; Vreeland had
given her money at two different times, be
sides the one thousand dollars; the first time
he gave her fifty dollars to purchase a ne w set of
teeth; and after the salt with Mrs. Shelley was Qu
ieted, he gave her #250 to commcnco a salt
against the Sunday Mercury for libel; she gave
the money to Mr. Whiting, Mr. Vreeland's coun
sel Id the Shelley case, and be still had it, the suit
not being brought against the newspaper. lu
reply to the question whether the defendant was
a very atdenl lover, the witness replied that he
was; an assertion which produced loud laughter
In the court-room. He never said to her that he
was too old to marry, and never told her that ho
did not intend to marry her; when wltneaa wrote
him tho letter npon his retnrn from
New York he cadre. to her and
seemed to be very much affected, weeping like a
child; witness vlßib d Mrs. Shelley three limes at
her house In New York; her object wa» to obtain
from that lady the “release” which she hud given
to Mr. Vreeland; Mrs Shelley bad pledged her
self to give it to witness in case she would prom
ise to commence a salt ngulnst Vreeland for dam
ages, nnd divide the amount obtained with Mrs.
Shelley; witness wonld not enter Into such an
agreement, and could not, therefore, obtain pos
session of the paper.
Mrs. Sarah Tattle,a lady residing in Greenville,
near thehonseof Mrs. Harrison, was then called
and gave testimony to freuueut visits being made
by Mr. Vreeland tt> the plaintiff nnd to other facts
corroborating the testimony of Mrs. HarrUon.

These letters were written In the Pall ol isu
and tbewitnewewore positively, that he had
never stektdber to marry htmT previously; that

of bis suit with Mrs. Shelly; be made no con
tract oi marriage with her conditional npon the
decision about his alleged marri tge with Mrs.
Shelly: never said ho “ought to worship tier" for

Harrison brought him a note from Mr Potter
about some business matters; after the salt with
Mrs. Shelly was concluded Mrs. Harrises urged
him re peatedly to marry her, bnt he Invariably
replied by lelling-hor that he. never Intended to

as he might Imvo a case of bigamy agtlast bim;
In October, 18G7, witness received a letter from

this was shown to Mrs. Harrison, to eho vtu it
he could not marry sue body; thu witness admit
ted that he had given Mrs. Harrison #250 tor the
purpose of prosecuting the Sunday Mercury lor
libel upon her in connection with the Suelly ease;
he bad also given her other sums at different
time.-; the first loan of $5O wai never repaid; 820
more was soon added, then be gave her #25 for
the pm pose of getting a new set of teeth; for
luroiture, #l6; a silk dress, #l7 60; a chair, #lO,
and a subsequent sum was given her for the pur
pose of redeeming a watch; after he gave her the
#l,lOO she did nut obtain much more from him.
Upon cross-examination by Mr. Dixon, Mr.
Vreelend related the circumstances of bis ac
quaintance with Mrs. Shelly; ho boarded In a
house in New York, where Mrs. Shelly also
lived; witness subsequently moved to a house
w hlch he hired in Seventy-eighth street, to which
be and Mrs. Bbelly moved, and where (hey re
sided together; daring the progress of the salt
with Mrs. Shelly he visited a Miss Hayden, In
Third avenue, and paid her money at different
tiuns; witness presented Mrs. Harrison with a
gold watch; that was sometime ‘before all this
mass came up;” witness was often obliged to
listen to Mrs. Harrison's talk about being married
to hint,bat be never talked about lt;sbe firstcom
menetd to talk about It, be believed, lu thespriug
cl 1663; during the summer of 1865 he did no.
visit her often, nor at any time thereafter ; noth
ing was ever said by him about being married af
ter the suit with Mrs. Shelly was finished; in May,
1864, Mrs. Shelly came to his house and borrowed
#lO from bim to pay a doctor's.bill; at that time
she Invited him to come and see her la New
Yoik; It wus then that his visits to her com
menced; in the spring of 1863 witness first heard
that Mrs. Harrison was getting ready to be mar
ried, and when asked about her he always re
plied by saying tbut if she was getting ready he
was uol, and that he hud had “too tnnch trouble
with women" to have any more to do with them:
be hud no doubt but tbat as far ns Mrs. Harrison
could spread any talk übont his marriage to her
It had been spread.
Upon the redirect examination the witnoss
staled that when he livid with Mrs. Shelly in
Seventy-eighth street he occupied a room by him
self. The money whlch.'be gave Miss Hayden was
to pay the rent ot her rooms; he was never mar
ried to Miss Sbellv.
The testimony of this witness concluded the
case for the defence, when the Court adjourned.
The case will bo summed up to-day.

The Providence Journal describes an origin il
French manuscript, now in possession of Mr. C
F. Harris, of that city. It ia the journal of -a
French officer who served under Count de Ko
£pnmbeau, and bears the following title: “Jour

March,l7Bl, to the 18th of November of the seme
year, of the army uuder the orders of the Compie
de Rcchambeau, when it went into winter
quarters.) It is handsomely written, and
makes a small folio volume of 116
pages. In it are nine beautifully exe
cured mope and plans, some of them four feet In
length, as inflows: 1. Map of the Island of Rhode
Ie ntid; 2, 3 and 4. Maps of the route of Rochim
bean's army from Newport, through Hartford to
Firbklfl; 5. tamp on thu North river,ne >r D>o )'<•
F< rry, showing the positions of the French and
American armies: 6. Mop of the country norlh ot
N< w Yoik, embracing Fort Washington, Harlem
river and the vicinity; 7. Morrlsania, with por
tions of the East river and Long Island; 8. Frog's
Point and part of Long Island; 9. Plan of West
Point; 10. Plan of the Battle of Trenton; 11. Plan
ol the Siege of New York, 1781. This valuable and
ln'exstiig manuscript wus In the celebrated
Maison nevf sale which took place in Paris on
the 15th ol Januury, In 1868, at which Mr. Harris
wus so foi innate as to secure It against the
competition of several European libraries and
collectors.
After spending a few days in Boston and Cam
bridge, the writer came lo Providence, where he
lonnd tbe Preach troops encamped under Gene
ral Count de Rocbmnbeuu. HU observations
about Providence are very brief. He calls it a
“beautiful little town," with an extensive com
merce before the war. There Is nothing curious
hue, be says, bdt “a hospital of the greatest
beauty.” Tbe building alluded to was doubtless
thu old, or northern, edifice of Brown Uuiversity,
which at one period during the Revolutionary
war was used for a hospital. TbU flue structure,
so supi rior thun to all others ia Providence,
together with Its beantifal sitnatloa, no doubt
at reeled the attention of tbe French offlear.
l'rom Providence the French troops com
int uetd their march westward ou the 18th of
June. The first day they encamped near Water
man's tavern, and the second day reached Plain
held, which the writer says occupies “a superb
position." This officer seems to have an eye to
the position ol every place he sees, with a view
to us dt fence. The position of Windham he also
considers fine. Ot Hartlord, little hi suld; but
wr.b Weathers field he was iu ecalaeies.
The houses there were flue, and In order
to see tho udjoinirg count y he went
up Into the Bteople ol tho village church. Ho says
he could see the country tor fifty milts urouud,
und declares it to be the most beautiful he had
set uin America. The route from Provideuce to
Firbkill, with each day’s march, is laid down
with great precision. The army set out iu a sin
gle division, until they reached Windham, when
they formed two divisions, und thus, from eight
to bn miles opart, in parallel lines, they marched
to tie Hudson river. Wo will not follow the
aimy furlbi r.

CONMIMTTIOX AND ITS TRKATKKNr,
In former times d'seasee of tbo lungs were bnt
imperfectly understood, and tbe remedies at
tempted generally hastened tbe progress of the
dire use, and its ; fatality was consequeatly much
greater, than at tho present time, fo|r the trott
rnent of the maledv Is now much m ire effectual
end tbe number of deaths prouorlionably less.
Diet, and relieving the patient of blood, the sup
posed panacea for almost every disease, were
usually rcoorted to, and the poor nuffaror rapidly
became weaker, and died earlier than it the
diseate-was allowed to take-Its,own coursa un
disturbed. Now, it is' well known that what U
of the- first importance for the relief of this
disease la plenty of wholesome food, mndorato
exercise in a worm and dry. atmosphere, and ah-,
sllnence from all exciting caused, If poa-iblo, such
as exposure tb Cold or damp air, Violent exer
cise, biliousness, &c. - As an iosUnoe as to bow
great an age consumptives may sdmetiine* live,
we may.meLtlon Piealdbnt Day, ot Yale Col
lege, who died about two years ago In his ninety
fifth year. This gehtleman, in his younger years,
was treated for consumption by sotne of the best
physicians in this country and Europe, but con
tinued to grow weaker, and at leagth became so
much rcductd lD fli eh that bo waa scarcely able
to walk. ‘At this time be visited tho- Bermudas,
witbent experiencing any beneficial effects, and
finally returned homo, to all appearances in the
last stages ot pulmonary consumption. He
went through a course of treatment of bis own,
gained in flesh and strength, and continued In
good health.
"Id diseases of tbe longs the blood becomes Im
poverished and the flesh wastes away. Therefore,
wbat tbe patient wants Is a coarse of treatment
that will replenish the lost blood, heal the tu
bercles on tbe lungs and reßtore a healthful clrca
tlon tbrongbon: tbe system. This Is precisely
what Dr. Sciirkck'b remedies will do and are
doing ivory day. There are hundreds of persons,
formerly patients of Dr. Schenck, who acknow
ledge tbat their present vigorous health Is owing
to the timely use of Palaionic Syrup, Seaweed
Tui.lc and Mandrake Pills. All diseases whoa
uttended lo in their iaetpleat stages are much
easier to suldue than if allowed to pro
gress unchecked and become firmly c>-
(sbflsked. Therefore, all who are ia the
Incipient stages of consumption, congb, p tin In
the breast, night sweats, &c.. should “take time
by the forelock ” and no longer hesitate when a
restoration to health can so readily bo obtained.
Even lo esses of consumption supposed to bo in
cur able, where friends and phvsict&ns have de
spaired, the U6e of these mt (Heines have saved
and piolt Dgtd the patients'lives. Dr. Schenck
