A READY-MADE ROMANCE.
A ccrnrous crimin.il cage has recently been heard at Bienne, France. A young doctor, named Jeanneret, highly popular and esteemed, resided in the same house with Mine. K. and her daughter. The latter became deeply enamored of the young physician, and finding that she had no chance of winning his affection, proceeded to send anonymous letters to him and his intended wife, containing vile accusations regarding each other. Suspicion fell upon h(rr, and legal proceedings were iusfituted ; but when the matter came into cotirf, mademoiselle having made a clean breast of the business, and expressed great penitence, the complainant withdrew proceedings on the understanding that tho K.'s should have the town, which they undertook to do, and aUo to pay all costs. But Dr. Jeanneret, who was of a very sensitive temperament, and had long suffered from heart-disease, felt such intense mortification at the whole affair, that his reason gave way, and on leaving the court he put an end to himself.
