SfiA new craze has taken hold on the .young ladies of this city, and as accidentally divulged is causing much amusement among the young men. The rage consists in a mutual exchange between two young ladies of a fancy garter, embellished as highly as the artiftic skill of the maker can go. The superstitutlon connected with the exchange is that that the garter, if worn on the left limb without being forgotten for a single day from this Easter until next, will bring the fair wearer a proposal from some desirable young man. Tho idea is revealed as a suggestion to the young men that proposals during the coining year will not be out of order. Vyf

The defense claims that the answers are contradictory and on this ground moved for a new trial but were overruled.
