The Perils of Kissing.

Besides the danger of Cupid's arrows, kissing is getting to be dangerous business Ii is not long since the English papers ih- formed us that a woman had bitten oH lhe nose of man who attempted to kiss hel against her will; and now the Louisville Journal, of the 2Oth ultimo, discloses the following:
 HORRIBLE AFFRAY, ALL FROM KISS Captain J. M Martin has given us some particulars of an affray which occurred al Shirt-tai Bend, Mississippi. E. ?. Johnson planter, gave party, at which Seth COX and lady, Dr. Gilbert, and many others were present. During the evening son ot MT J., who had but lately returned from school ayowed his intention to kiss every lady present. Accordingly he commenced by kissing Mrs. Cox. Mir. c. became angry at this, used harsh language towards the young man, and slapped his face. This led to a general fight Bowie knives were drawn, and in the affair MT. Cox, Dr. Gilbert, and young Johnson were dangerousl y wounded and three or four others severely. Dr. Gilbert was cut in the head, and the blood gushed from the wound to the ceiling. Mr. Cox's brother had intmated that if his brother recovered, he would settle the difli- culty. We believe Seth Cox and lady are both from this part of the country, and well known here"
 The Journal of the next day, however, says the above statement is incorrect inc atiray did not occur at the house of Mir. l.. ?. Johnson, but at a party given by a gen. tleman two miles off, to Mir. Johnson's son, youth of eighteen. MT. Cox, MT. John son, Dr. Buckner and MT. McHatten were all cut with penknives, but none of them al all dangerously. The affair was afterwards understood to be settled. Young Johnson had returned to college at Shelbyville, in Kentucky.
 Those who wish to enjoy the pleasant pastime of kissing, would doubtless do well to be assured beforehand that it is agreeable to all parties.

SALE OF TICKETS FOR JENNY LIND's FIRST CoNCERT.-The tickets for Jenny Lind's first concert were sold at auction on Saturday last at the Armory Hall, and the occasion was one of considerable interest and excitement. The auctioneers were Messrs. Sykes & Hyde, the cryer being Mr. Palmer. The large hall was filled with our citizens, and considerable interest was manifested on the subject of the first ticket. The bidding for this important article was rapid and spirited, the principal competitors being our friend Darcy, the halter, and Dr. Fryer. The former, however, with his usual sagacity and enterprise was deter mined to have it, and it was finally struck off to him at $240. When his name and bid were announced, the audience gave him a hearty and general cheer. MT. D'Arcy selected No. 70 in the parquette as his seat.
 The sale of the seats, sofas, etc., in the dress circle then commenced, and the prices increased as they proceeded from the sides 10 the centre, the front seats commanding as high as $20 and $25. Dr. Fryer obtain ed three front seats, for which he paid $75 The seats in the dress circle averaged about $l7, and the sofas about $l0. The seats in the gallery and ten lattced boxes, about five hundred in all, were bought by Wm T. Scott, the auctioneer, at an advance ot twenty cents per seat on the fixed price. The pit seats, 479 in number, at s for the regular price, were sold at an average pre- mium of $2. The 557 seats in the dress circle, parquette, orchestra and four side latticed boxes, brought premium of $35S8 and in all $63373. The entire proceeds are estimated to be over $20,O00
