The dull monotony of our court proceedings was enlivened one day last week in the case of the Commonwealth against Dob son, in which the defendant was accused of assault upon a young lady named Hetler, by kissing her against her will. The plain tiff complained that Dobson, "by force of arms, malice afore thought., and instigated by the devil, did then and there violent ly assault, waylay," etc, She told her story in a plain, straight forward kind of way, to the ef feet that she was enjoying the evening breezes while leaning over her father's fence, and that William Dobson came along, seized her by the hands, and forcibly pulling her over the palisade, committed the assault for which she claimed redress at the hands of the law. A sister of the complaignt testified that she did notiee the alleged in propriety, because of the dark ness, and she being in another part of the yard, but she beard a kiss, or something that sound ed like a kiss, and knew that something was going on. Dobson claimed the privilege of being his own witness, and he told the part of the story omit ted by Miss Hetler and her sis ter. He is a jolly specimen of an Englishman. His narrative of the occurrence in which he had become involved runs as follows : Dobson-Yer see, yer 'onors, I was walking along, singing "What will the 'arvest be ?" Gen. McCartney (counsel for plaintiff, disposed to have some fun while confusing the witness) -You was singing "What will the 'arvest be?" (closely imitat ing the intonation of the wit ness.) Dobson (very composedly) Yes, sir; what will the 'arvest be ?" Gen. McCartney-"What will the 'arvest be ?" Dobson (unruffled) - "What will the 'arvest be !" Gen. McCartney-Well, go on, sir. Dobson-Yer see, yer 'onors, I was going along, singing, "What will the 'arvest be?" when I heard Mary singing " What will the 'arvest be ?" Gen. McCartney - She was singing, "What will the 'arvest be?" By this time there were dce cided evidences of meriment all oyer the court room; but Dob. son remained as imperturable as though officiating at a funeral. Dobson-Yes, sir; she were singing "What will the 'arvest be?" but not so laud as I was, and I called out, " Hallo, Mary, are that you ?" and she said it be. I went up to the fence, and she said she were hall halone, has her father 'ad gone to "class." Gen. McCartney - Gone to class! What did she mean by that? Dobson- Why, any fool knows what "class" means. Her fath er had gone to class meeting, and left 'er ball halone. We chatted a little, and then . -. Gen. McCartney-Well, you have heard her testimony. You seized her, pulled her.over the fence and kissed her? Dobson - No. That testi mony is false. We talked a while, and she sort leaned hov er the fence-like as if she want ed me to-and just then Satan got the best of me, and I kissed 'er right hon the mouth. I found out "What wilt the 'arvest be," and I think she was a lieasy prey. Here the gravity of the court, counselors and spectators gave way, and seldom in a court of justice has there been such a scene of uncontrollable hilarious ness. Judge Harding fairly roared himself hoarse with laugh ter, and all business was sus pended for several minutes to allow those in the court-room to recover their equanimity.. Dobson was acquitted of the charge of assault, but must pay half the costs of the suit and his share of the 'arvest: A grand council with the In dians was held in the east room. There were twenty-five savages; they were painted. and wore feathers. Tbh speeches were in the usual style.. Big Roads said: Great Father," . liuding to Hayes, "I have had some promise from the President and have been looking for it ever since." Little Wound said, "' We want religion and a Catholic priest." He Dog said, "I am a Northern Indian, but I am a wise man inPt that country. I want my pemo pie to be raised . dr to be. quiet, and we wanr to know which is the wisest road for us, and which is the best way to live. You get rich, and that is what I want to do, and I want to do it the way you do.' The conference adjourned to to-day. Mrs. Hayes made the acquain tance of the savages. -The Star says she received them gracious ly, and 4theyi bowed5 withthe politeness of dancing masters when shaking handr A J STATE OF LOUISIANA.
