How One Dobson was Tepmt ed by Satan to Kiss a Girl against Her Will. The doll monotony ot a coart proceedings was enlivened in the case of the Common-wealth against Dobson, in which the des feudant was accused of assanlt npon a yonng lady named Hotter, by kissing her against her will. The plaintiff complained that Dobson, "by force of arms, malice atorethonght, aud instigated by the devil, did then and there vio lently assanlt waylay," &e. She told ber story in a plain straight forward kind of way, to the effect that she was enjoying the even ing breezes while leaning over ber fence, aud that William Dob son came along, seized her by the bands, and fucibly pulling her over the palisade, committed tht assanlt for which she claimed re dress at the hands of the law. A sister of the complainant testified that she did not see the alledged impropriety, because of the darK ness, and she being in another part of the yard, but she heard a kiss, or somothing that sounded like a kiss, and knew that some thing was going or,. Dobson claimed the privilege of being his own witness, and be told the part of the story omitted by Miss Belter and her sister. He is a jolly specimen^ of an En glishman.His narrative of the oc cumMIC0 which be had become involved runs as follows: Dobson—Yer see. yer 'onors, I I was walking along, singing ''What will the 'arvest be T' _ Gen. McCartney ^counsel for plaintiff, disposed to have some fan while confusing the witness] —Yon were singing "What will the 'arvest be t' , ]closely imitating the intonatiou or the wituoas). iyI— Dobson (very composedly] iyI— Dobson (very Yes, sir, "What will composedly] ill the 'arvest be ?" Gen. McCartney—"What will the 'arvest bef' Dobson fnnroffled] — "Whdt will the 'arvest bet w Gen. McCartney—Well, go on, sir. Dobson—Yer sec, yer 'onors, I was going along, singing, "What will the ( arvest beT*' when 1 heard Mary singing "What will the 'arvest bef' Gen. McCartney—She was sing ing "What will the 'arvest bef" By this time there were decided evidences of merriment all over the court room ? bat Dobson re mained as imperturabable as though officiating at a funeral. Dobsou—Yes, sir. She were siugiug, "What will the 'arvest bo," bat not so loud as I was, and I called oat, "Hallo, Mary, s*e that you T* and she said it be, I went up to the fence, and she were hall haloae, has her father 'ad gone to "class," Gen. McCartney — Gone to class! What did she mean bv that. Dobson—Why, any fool knows what "class", means. Her father had gone to class meeting, and left 'er hall halone. We chatted a. little, and then— Gen. McCartney — Well, yon have beard bei testimony. Yoa seized her. palled her over the fence and kissed her f Dobson—No. That testimony is false. We talked awhile, and she sort of leaned hover the fenoe —like as if she wanted me to— and just then Satan got the best of me, and I kissed 'er right bon the month. I found out "What will the 'arvest be," and I think she was a heasy prey. Here the gravity of the oonrt. counsellers and spectators gave way, aud seldom in a oonrt of jnstice has there been each a scene of uuoontrollable hilarious ness. Judge Harding fairly roar ed himself hoarse with laughter, and all business was suspended for several minutes to allow those iu the court-room to recover their equanimity. Dobson was acquit ted of the charge of assault, but must pay half the costs of the suit as his share of the "'arvest."
