CATCHING A FLY IN CHURCH.-A lady in one
of our churches rested her head on the back OF
the pew in front, as all devout people do in the
time OF prayer, but in the pew before her sat a
young man who neither bowed his head or
kneeled- A beautiful plume nodded and danced
upon the head of the fair one bel d him and oc-
cSsonaly touched the neck Of the youth, who
evidently considered it a fly OF some other
troublesome insect. For a time he bore the I'M
pleasant sensation without a murmur, but al
last patience ceased 10 be q virtue, and from the
flash OF his eagle eve one couli plainly see that
the hour of .that fy" had come. Instead of
saying '.shoo fly don't bCdder me-" cautiously
his hand moved toward the supposed offending
insect; then followed frantic clutch and a
spring behind him. Imagine the horror OF the
youth to find i'm his hand the nobby hat of the
fair one, which he had torn violently from her
head, sadly dissrranging the contour of brsids
and chignon. The lady was indignant, of course
and the youth could have been purchased at an
INNER Sc sacrifice about III At time. Explanations
ard apologies followed and the disor zed W as
put III order as soon as possible. and the devo-
tlonal exercises were resumed.-Limd, u.

The VERDICT IN THE HAND-KIssING CASE
In the Superior Court, yesterday, the motion
for a new trial i'm the case of L. Newton Seibert
and wife vs.. John Lesson, in which the jury
rendered a verdict of =, 600 damages against
defendant for kissing the hand of Mrs. Sell
bert, &C.; was argued by Mr.. Hennighau-
sen for the defendant, and Judge Mason
and Mr.. Rowland against the motion. The
court declined to hear further argument
by Mr., Mclaughlin in favor Of the motion.
In deciding upon the motion, Judge Dobin
said no one could entertain doubt that the YER
dict was far beyond any reasonable amount OF
damages the plaintiffs wife has sustained. even
allowing the jury the most liberal discretion in
finding verdict damages. This case could
not be compared to q case where a lady has
been followed and tracked from place to place
for months or years-such as the case OF
Mcfarland, and similar cases preceding II.
He had the power to set aside IN everdict or 70
modify 1t. lie thought this was case wntch
called upon him to exercise that power, and he
would therefore set aside the verdict, unless the
plaintiffs would relinquish 81, 5eoof the amount,
thereby reducing the verdict to $500: This, he
thought, was a very exorbitant sum for the Of
fence committed-more than he would expect
the Jury to have allowed. The plaintiffs are
allowed few days to accept the conditions

BOATING ON THE PoToxAC,-Pr,p1ria1 for a
Grasd Regottd--A meeting OF owners and cap
tains OF yachts WAS held last night, pursuant to
call. At the Fulton House of Capt. Geo. A. She
keil, Potomac Ferry wharf, for the purpose of
peTfecting arrange nents for grand regatta.
Some forty gentlemen were present, all inter
ested in this popular sport aud from the spirit
manifested on this occasion the public may con-
tidentiy look for a fine race Capt. Shekell was
called to the chair, and III. o. Noyes acted as
On taking the chair Capt. ShekeIl stated, that
a. the request of several owners of boats he had
called this meeting to talk over the subject OF
boat race. There were many fine sailing craft
in the river, and it was desirable to try their
qualities again this season. Lat year the re-
gatta had awakened a spirit of emulation among
owners OF fast boats, which, it is thought, will
develop itself on this occasion in the WAY of
Improvement in boat building and rig ging. He
did not represent any boat, but felt an interest
In the sport, and would contribute S25 towards
making mp purse As prize. He thought if
this amount was put in by each person entering
boat II would make up prize which would
be worth striving for.
On motion of Mr.. Smithson, it was agreed to
require each person entering to pay SOS, and
that the first boat out take the prize. On
motion, 1t was agreed that when they adjourn
II be to meet one week hence; that all owners
OF boats be invited to be present, and that those
who desire to enter be requested to DO so on
that evening. Ii was further agreed that the
time for entering of boats be extended to within
three days OF the race, and that no boat over
twenty-seven feet in length be allowed to enter
and that each boat be allowed to carry all the
sail desired by the owners. Capt. Shekell was
elected stakeholder. IL was agreed to leave the
selection of the judges till the next meeting, to
be chosen after all the boats are entered.
The following boats were then entered -
"JOhn III. Washington" % feet inches, by
Capt. David Crouch. of Baltimore, now en-
ployed at the Navy Yard; dolphin" % feet
keel, by Capt Alexander Eaton; Little Ella"
% feet keel, by Capt. Edward Tasker; Cur
