KISSING NOT ACTIoNABLE-Let bache-
lors take courage. An Ontario county
jury have decided that damages cannot
be recovered, for rayishing kiss from a
lady. The Messenger relates the follow
ing interesting claw CASE
Vanvoorhis Us. Haws, for assault with
intent to kiss. 1t appears that the par
ties to the suit, with large number of
others from the town of Bloomfield and
Victor, went on an excursion to Niagara
Falls last summer by railroad. On the
return trip, feeling somewhat frolicksome,
as young people frequently do on such
occasions, it was proposed and unani.
mously adopted by the young ladies pre-
sent, that on Mr.. Hsws, the defendant,
should be imposed the duty of kissing
all the ladies of the party. Like true
martyr, he quietly submitted to the fat,
and gallantly, it is said, did he accom-
plish the feat so far as those in the one
case was concerned. He was offered q
premium if he would kiss Miss Vanhoor-
his, the plaintiff in the adjoining car first.
He proceeded there in company with .
lady of the party, who introduced him,
and he undertook the job; but Miss resist
ed-she was not to be kissed by any
''such ugly, good for nothing. no how"
mot she; and especially as she had on
board | l-r, but no matter. She
brushed him back. Nothing dsunted, be
returned to the attack . second time, and
for the interference of third person, he
might have succeeded in the attempt; as
it was he was compelled 10 retreat, leaS-
ing the enemy in possession of the 6eld. +"
We believe, however, that he finally sue
ceeded by coup detat in obtaining the
coveted KISS, which 50 highly incensed
the young lady that instead Of giving it
bach to him agsin, with interest, Ike q
sensible girl, She brought this suit for
damages. { The unhappy result is, the
lawyers .poeket, the damages, and she
is compelled to pocket the insult"-the

BEDINI's LETTER TO THE ARCHBISHOP
OF BALTIMORE is published in the New
York Freeman's Journal. He is very
severe on the Italians and Germans who
were concerned in what was called the
Bedini excitement. He says they abused
first the most unbounded and generous
hospitality, and afterwards the credulity
OF nation which is already great, and
which aspires to destinies still greater.
If they could not claim that abused
| nation as an accomplice, they rendered
1t at least responsible for what took
place before its eyes, under its laws, and
on its soil; namely: for a most savage
attempt, capable Of causing any nation
whatever to descend thousand degrees
in the scale of its dignity.
The nation redeemed itself sreatly, il
is true, in the really courageous and true
words which its Senate spoke in defence
of. and respect for, the Envoy of Rome
and it was i'm that moment that the
one apitolrendered itself entirely worthy
of the other; but cannot help rejecting
that, Notwithstanding, such words did
not avail to put a stop to those furious
outrages, or even to protect my life from
the same dangers. I supposed that a
Government would act upon, and in har.
mony with, those noble words, to which
will never cease rendering the tribute
of eulogium and gratitude but the hopes
thus awakened, and, in fine, the promises
given, resulted in nothing; inaction be-
came the servant Of the delirium of q few,
and those even foreigners and was
obliged to be convinced that for more
than one palace in Washington the in

must render an account to nv Sover-
eign Of the effect at least of his most
kindly intended letters, but the silence Of
those who received them will explain nv
own silence, and this discourteous and
insulting lesson for the Sovereign of Rome
will not be lost on any other chief of
nation and OF state, who may ever wish
to lavish ciyilities and courtesies from
the other side of the Atlantic. Certainly
it is not thus that great nations are 90
verned and served. There is indeed
common code for them all, nor is there an
ocean to divide them in the fulfilment of
their paramount duties, for the fragrant
violation of which, those who rule or
represent their destinies are obliged to
answer. The judgment to be passed on
this affair the Nations of the two worlds
have already formed, and not some misera-
bic bribed and shameless print on the
bank of the Ohio or Of the Hudson.
As sensible proof of his gratitude to
those who so kindly welcomed him, he
