Quite an important law suit is now go
ing on in Newbern, N. c. which will be
watched with interest by the legal profes-
sion throughout the country. The facts
are these: Mr.. Finch, who is in the jewel
ry business, showed to ayoung lady friend,
q Miss Waters, a handsome set of real jet.
The lady was anxious to own the set but
was unable to purchase it, so Mr.. Finch
made this novel propositions: He told her
that lie would sell her the set for 100 kisses,
day, Sundays excepted, Git isn't right you
know, to kiss on Sunday from date of
agreement. 1t was furthermore stipula-
ted that Mr.. Finch should call at the lady IS
house every morning, except Sunday morn
ing, to receive the kiss which Miss Walters
promised to deliver to him. This contract
was not reduced to writing, but it was full
ly understood by both parties, and the sci
of jet was rendered to Miss Walters and by
her accepted. Mr.. Finch called the next
morning, and for thirty consecutive Torn,
ings, Sundays excepted, and was, as Miss
Walters admits in her defense, fully paid,
but on the 31st morning Mr.. Finch made
formal complaint that Miss Walters was
not complying with the terms of the con
tract, in that she offered him only hel
cheek to osculate. He maintained thai
this did not constitute legal kiss and de
manded that lie should be allowed to put
his left arm around Miss Walters wais
and kiss her in the highest style of art
This she declined to permit, whereupor
MIR. F., in just indignation. brought an &C
ton for breach of contract against thu
lady. Lawyers of course disagree, boil
as to the essential ingredients of lega
kiss, and as to whether the suit should
have been brought at law or bill in equity
filed, to compel specific performance, blu
we haYe not space TO discuss these sid
issues. The important point raised in iii,
suit is, what constitutes legal kiss. It il
obvious that we have in this matter ques
ton. that admits of vast amount of argu
ment, and that all the members of this com
munity are largely interested in its judicia
: determination.

his own funeral to the nomination, the con.
test has narrowed down to Hancock, Bay,

aid, which had been casting the horoscope
of the Cincinnati convention before Til
