A GUSHING LASS KISSES THE WRONG LAD.
following yarn, and comments upon it in the
following manner:
The Georgetown Times tells good story of
the adventures OF young man from the rural
districts, while attending the fair near this city,
last week. Late in the afternoon of one hot
and dusty day he boarded train to return To
this city, and while standing in the aisle of a
crowded car, wondering how it was that all
the tat old men with warty noses, and fussy
old women with squally children always got in
his car, his attention was arrested by Il svery
voice crying out, "Why, Cousin George" and
turning toward the spot from whence the sound
proceeded, he beheld q beautiful young lady
rushing frantically towards him with pair of
Outstretched arms. The onslaught was so sud
den, and the temptation So great. that he could
not forego the pleasure OF pressing her to his
bosom, and lmprIntng upon the upturned. rO-
seate lips the cousnly kiss which she was evi.

at the bright eyes flashing like diamonds, the
cheeks, luscious and srIn-hUed as the south side
of an early peach, and the lips like roses wet
wi dew" could not find in his heart to deny
that he was cousin-germain to the pretty little
stranger; and it was not until he had. TO the
best of his ability, answered her numberless
questions concerning the health and wherea
bouts OF uncles, aunts and cousins, that he re-
uctantly broke the link of consanguinity and
withdrew, with many apologies and regrets for
the mutual mistake, informing the fair little
stranger, now confused and bushinp. that he
had pretty cousin just like her, and she had
"a good looking Cousin George somewhere. y"
but unfortunately it wasn't he. The 1Jmes
gives no clue to the identity of the lady, but if

On the day following, Friday, an accomnl;co

was insufficient to pay the duties alluded to !:
an additional sum, about $4,000, was actually
necessary to meet the demands upon them

or two well turned compliments, banded over
a check on the Norfolk Co. Bank for the
entire amount. He was to call again at three
O'Clock. He separated to Join his fellow
swindler at ali appointed rendezvous. The
check was at once sent to the bank, as in the
former case, but was, after some hesitation,
pronounced worthless, Messrs. Park & Tilford

loss of the $4,000 in currency falls upon the
Greenwich Bank. The first check had been
raised from $5S to $500.
