DEAR KIss.-A curious trial was recent.
ly held at Middlesex Sessions, in England
Thos Saverland, the prosecutor, stated that
on the day after Christmas he was in the room
where the defendant, Caroline Newton. and
her sister, who had come from Birmingham,
were present. The latter jokingly observed
that she had promised her sweetheart mat no
man should kiss her while absent. IL being
holiday time, Saverland considered this a
challenge, and caught hold of her and kissed
her. The young woman took it as a Joke, but
her sister, the defendant, said that she would
like as little of that fun as he pleased. Saver
land told her if she was angry he would kiss
her also; he then tried to do it, and they fell
to the ground: On rising, the woman struck
him; he again tried TO kiss her, and in the
scuff1e she bit of his nose, and spit il out of
her mouth. The action was brought 20 re-
cover damages for the loss of the nose. The
defendant said he had no business to kiss her;
if she wanted kissing she had husband to
kiss her-a better looking man than ever the
prosecutor was. The jury without hesitation
acquitted her; and the chairman said that if
any man attempted to kiss q woman against
her will, she had perfect right to bite of his
nose If she had fancy for 80 doing.

"HEADs UP."-A tall, raw-boned recruit
was put on drill by a little cock sparrow Of an
officer; as every order was given to him, he
would look down to see his commander, and
was often admonished to hold up bis bead.
Repeated sdmonitions Of this kind at length
had the effect to induce the recruit to raise his
head at least TO level with the setting sun,
and the officer ordered him TO keep il there.
0What, always? ?" was the inquiry.
Eyes, always" was the reply.
"Then good bye, leftenant; / shall never

PRoSUsCIATIoN OF THE NAME OF SWEDEN
BoRG.-A correspondent Says the Philadel-
phia New Church Herald, sent US a commu.
mic alton few days ago, inquiring in regard
to the correct pronunciation of the name of
Swedenborg sends us the following note from
Captain Ericsson, Swede by birth, and
gentleman wellsknown through his discoyer cries
and experiments in connection with propeIl.
ing steamboats,. Addressing our CORE spou.
dent, Captain Ericsson says:
NEW YORK, June q 1856.
Ny dear Sir: The Swedes pronounce Sve-
denborg's name thus :-Svedenborg. Both
e'S pronounced alike, and dwelt upon, as in
"fem onade." The English sound &c is not
known to Swede. When employed in names
it is pronounced precisely as in avindicate -
The is pronounced as in "worth - The
is sounded very hard, as in "brat." Lastly.
the termination Of the name should be abrupt,
by no means resembling the termination of
the word "fOrgs;;" the g to be pronounced as
in geography"
L am very glad you have afforded me an op-
portunity of correcting the universally erro-
neous pronunciation of the name of nv won
derful countryman.
Yours, very truly, J. ERIcssos.

The sugar Cane In massachusetts.


The sugar cane has been grown within the
sound Of the church bells Of Boston-in sight
Of the Heights, by whose occupation by Wash
ington, Howe was driven into the sea and under
the shadow almost Of Bakers, chocolate mills,
whose aromatic and rich compound only needs
the sweet juice of this luscious vegetable to
render it one Of the most delicious Of beverages.
Without any particular advantage of care, or
soil, or season, there was grown on the land of
MI. Hemmenway, o cane measuring twelve
feet high, and an inch in diameter near the
root, full of sap of on admirable sweetness.
What are we coming to? Have the poles
changed again, as they are said, without any
good authority, to have done once, centuries
ago ? The seed was from China, and Mr..
Hemmenway has some of it yet on hand, at
the service of any one who wishes to expert
ment. If the cane can be acclimated SO far
north as Dorchester, it surely will flourish on
our warmer soils.s Tea, fax and the grape may
be added to the list Of products, as perhaps
they will be when potatoes and the cereals cease
to be as profitable as now. A change in pro-
ducts would bring q change in politics, one being
often the exponent of the other. Newark
