MISCELLANY.

TIE IsFLuEscE OF KrssEs.---The kiss hal
been powerful agent in the annals OF tht
human race. There have been kisses. like
those of Antony aud Cleopatra, Of Henry
VIII, and Anne Boieyn, which have shaken
an empire to destroy a religiona II sse knew
tho secret history OF Courts, we should prob
ABLY learn thar nations have been created or
erased by the magic touches OF woman's
lips. A great problem, therefore lies before
us: Has this discovery proven an affection
or blessing to mankind? Probably the lat
ter for it has cel tainly increased the influence
of woman, and the influence of woman is en-
mployed more for good than for i'll. Beloved,
tenderhearted women, companions and coll
soIers of our life With kiss you welcome
the infant to the world with kiss you be-
stow OF, soft checked youths the raptures OF
first love with a kiss you alleviate the agony
Of death. And what, alas are the kisses
which men too often give you In return p
Judas-kisses, treacherous and fatal. which
poison innocent hearts, and turn to curses on
painted and despsring lips. Happy are those
who can remember without remorse the kisses
of their youth. -Rsads's african Sketch

! FROM time to time, charges of n most
damaging character have been made
against the reputation as an honorable
man u Professor y. J.. Guss; Superintend-
ent of the Cassviile Orphan School. No
less crime than the debauching of the
Virtue Of ,he female scholars under his co3l-
trni lsas been laid to lis account, and so
rersistently l;,s this charge been returned
TO t.at at last the Legislature has felt itself
/. ca,icd on 10 order an investigation into the
truth or faisity of the indictment The
committee to v AOm is entrusted this del
cate task is composed Of the following
members Mcs5rs. Anderson, Nariel, fu-
tan. Collins, and Chalfant, of the Senate,
and aIossIs. Oliver Henry, Young, Jones,
Orvis. and Reynolds of the House. This
committee held its initial session at Hunt
ingdon, on Monday. The part of the peo-
PIE was represenued by Messrs. Wander
slice. of Philadelphia, Doty, Of Juniata,
and Brown, Of Huntingdon, a:3d Surveyor
General. .Brnth appeared on behalf of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Messrs.
Petriken, Woods and Lytle, Of Hunting
don, acted az attorneys for Mr.. Guss.
The following testimony, according to
tile Huntingdon journal, was adduced
Miss Kate NJ. Iandcuff was called 10 the
stand and qualified. She is an Intelligent
young lady. nineteen years of age, of prepO-
sesSiug appearance, and of remarkable mem
CRY. She proceeded TO relate that she had
heen some four wears ut CasSvilie, that ut
fuTr different times, commencing when she
hot nal Of
age, a. I. GHss made improper advances
t. her one Of which WAS very muCh like
rape under the circumstances. The teSti-
uouy was simply horrifying. She stated
that she had been COmpclled, Hy fear TO make
au affidavit cf the talsity of on" OF these
charges. She gave other most damaging
testimony She was subject 70 a most r. gid
crosse x:Inination, coverings period OF three
quarters of an hour, which only lcsulted in
streIvthenipn every point related before
In not single instance did she fail 10 con-
irn her statement in chief. The truth of
her statement impressed itself upon every
holy. She * a school teacher and one of
the most respectable young women III Blair
county. After a very questionable effort to
brow beat the witness and falling, Mr Lytle
withdraw from the case, course. which, If
pursued bv Lis colleagues, would have done
them infinite credit. Miss HaudcUff was
materially by her mother!
THIS IS indeed most damaging testimony.
and, if it be reliable, fully confirms the
charges made against Mr.. Guss. Add-
tional witnesses viii be examined, and the
remote particulars touchi"g the matter
viii be laid bare. Should it prove true
that the accused is guilty of The horrible
outrage imputed to him, is there punish
rnent within the province of man to infict
that ought not to be visited upon him
The final report Of the committee will be
luDked for with anxiety

1VE RESLFY-C CLARY IURDER TRTAI.-
II has been matter well understood in
this community ever since the beginning
of the trial Of John NJ. Rcsley for the mur-
der Of Lloyd Clary that the jurv empanell-
ed was of such character as 10 preclude
the slightest hope that jps:icc would be
done vet the States attorney and the At
torney- General. for reasons satisfactory to
none but the friends of the accused, per-
sistently refused to remove the case from
the county. We venture to assert that
nowhere in the annals OF American Grim
inal trials can 4 precedent he found in
which such a verdict has been returned in
a case in which not q shadow Of legal de-
fence was pretended to he set UP. either
by the prisoner or his friends; for, even
admitting all they attempted to prove by
their manifestly perjured witnesses. Kline
and Peterman, it forms no atom of iustifi-
cation for the murder but that both Kline
and Peterman peTiured themselves on the
stand, no one in this community, whether
in or ont Of that jury-hOX, could or did
doubt for an instant. So palpable was the
perjury of these men, that the counsel for
the defence, Colonel Marshall, who is eYi-
IDENTITY an honorable gentleman. would not
allude TO them, and disdained to base any
argument upon their testimony But
the climax WAS capped when The jury re-
turned their verdict ON Saturday night
when even before the Clerk could record
the verdict. the prisoner was seized bv his
friends and admirers and hurried from the
. courtroom amid shouts of exultation and
rejoicing that would better have graced
the triumphs Of r hero than the escape of
criminal from the deserved fetters of the
law. \ crowd numbering between two
and three hundred persons accompanied
him through the streets to the dwelling of
his father making the welkin ring with
their shouts of exultatinn. Thus enGed
the ''farce'' of a trial which succeeded the
bloody tragedy that took place in this Of
fee on October q, 1873. The apotheosis
Of murder is complete, and Allegheny

mitted suicide on Friday of last week, by

would be hanged for it. This alarmed

Is the House of Representatives at Ifar-

dnced the following resolution: '.ResoyreG.
il any member cannot fAish his speech in
ten minutes, he Shall be allowed to present
his speech |.itten to tho publisher Of the
Legi'lat:es Journal for publication there
in" The view taken Of this resolution
was that II was somewhat vague in its pro-
visions. For instance Charley Brockwav
IS reported to have remarked that he was
unable to understand from the provisions
"f the resolution whether the fntsLiug of
speech meant the preparing thereof or
the delivering of some sentiments after the
same had been fully adjusted in Tic mind
ot the orator, while Sam. Josephs insisted
that the mere act of presentia2 a speech to
the publisher of the LsgtsEqHr6 journal
wouId not necessarily insure its insertion
IN the columns of that interesting sheet.
so the resolution was not agreed to, though
another resolution was subsequently passed
limiting the speeches of members on any
subject to ten minutes.
