An Am0r0us Farmer.
HE PAYS FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR
KISS THAT HE DID NOT GET.

Margaret L. Mead against James
V. Whitbeck was the title Of a rather
interesting case which occupied the
attention of the County Court to-day.
The plaintiff in the case is the wife Of
DR.. Jasper Mead of Bethlehem, and
she seeks at the hands of the law
damages in the sum of $1,000, for an
assault inflicted upon her April 10,
1877, when Whitbeck attempted,
without success, to kiss her. The
lady, who was well.dressed and of
prepossesstpg appearance, told the
story of the assault in self possessed
manner. 1t appeared, according to
her evidence, that about twilight on
the evening OF the date above given,
her husband was absent from home,
and she was sitting on her front door.
step alone. when Whitbeck came
along. He stopped, spoke. and finally
sat down on the stoop beside her.
There he remained about half an hour
talking on various subjects, until final
ly he spoke of strange dream he
had had short time previously, and
asked if she believed IN them. On
her replying in the negative, Whit
beck went on to relate his dream. 1t
was about dog that had got into her
cellar, and which he dislodged. Then,
as reward, he had demanded kiss.
According to his dream, when he had
taken the kiss her cheek turned black.
On completing his relation of the
dream Mrs. Mead became frightened,
and rose with the intention of retiring
into the house, when Whitbeck, who
is old enough to be her father, seized
her by the shoulder, and with the re-
mark, "Maggie, may I have that
kissF attempted to take it. Mrs.
Mead, by an effort, thrust him off, and
escaping into the house locked the
doors and windows, and drawing the
curtains waited for the return of her
husband, to whom she related the
facts en- his arrival. The defendant
