SINGULAR OCCURRENCE. - The following singular fact, which occurred about three weeks ago, will probably become a subject of discussion in the courts in the course of the approaching term.  MR. T---n, a gentleman of fortune had for some time paid his addresses to MISS S----, the daughter of a respectable merchant in the city.  A mutual attachment existed, and a day was fixed for the nuptials taking place, when MR. T. suddenly withdrew himself, and went to the continent.  The young lady's health suffered severely for some time.

Another deadly expression.
