K.om the IleraM. May IS. A Miss Kissnm, a pupil nl Mias Adrian' sem inary, Jumuicii, Long Island, left the institution iast Monday for the purpose of having a tuth ex'racted. The dentist to whom she upp.ied vised her to iijiulo ether, ith the intention of lessening tho pain. After llio ether was administered, the girl remembered nothing more until she found herself on board one of the Nor wich juts, on her wuy to She wa: surprised, but was still too much under th" in flueiice of the drug to make known her situation, although she attracted the alleritien of Conductor Eaton and he offered his services, which were repello'.

A number of other gen tlemen also proffered attentions, but sho appear ed Indifferent mid at lust was left to herself. When Miss Kissam arrived in Boston, she was possessed with the idea of rcnching some vil luge here she igined she would be more secure than iu the city, hhe id in a manner recovered her senses, though still faint and be wildeicd' She entered a carriage und was taken to the Chelsea ferry, which she crossed, and after wandering about the streets of new city for a short period, applied to the Chel-ea House for lodgings and retrcehmetits. She must by this me have fully recuveicd her senses, for she had an interview with the landlady, and tnl i the latter her singular atory, and as she had the appearance of an innocent girl it was readily believed. She was provided with everything that the needed, and ader partaking of 1 elre.limeiiis wrote to her lather and mother, quite wealthy people, residing at lirushville. Long Island.

The luriiiei's name is Phillip B. Kissam, and as soou as he heard ol bis daughter's mysterious disap pearance ha offered a reward through the New Vol papers for her recovery. She has since been taken care of by her friends, und ia now stopping at one of our first public houses. lK-r parents are expected in Boston to day, and I doubt the meeting will be a jovful one, as theie havo been so many young ladies murdered and abducted In New Yoik Slate recently, that it is pissible they never anticipated beholding her alive.

DwightH.Olm stead vs. Maria Olmstead and Curdline Run dall. Plaintiff In this action in 1S55 married respondent Muiia, who is a daughter of the other respondent in this action. About a year after tluir marriage, and hile the parties to this suit were boarding together, the mother and wife abandoned the hnsband and look up lodgings elsew here. Thefiuit of this marriage was one child, now about It mouths old.

The present action is brought by the father to recover possession of the child. From the tes timony il appears that one csuseof contention was the fact that the husband' expenses were larger than hi salary, aud another that the wife being possessed of some property put it In possession of her mother before tne marriage ceremony as performed. One witness swore that the mother had told her frequently that she desired a separation and intended to have it, and spoke in derogatory terms of the husband al-o that he did nut respect her, but that mother gentleman did l.e loved Malia, and she intended to have it fixed so that Ihey could be married. Medical testimony wa introduced to show that to remove the child from mother's eire al the present time would endanger its life. Dr.

Howland testified that he had been rae licing obstetrics for thirty three years In ail esses he adv sed children to be ir-e I past the secoud summer.

By the recent decision of a Supreme Court fudge in Munroe County, it would seem to be unnecessary for the plaintiff te prove a foimal promise of marriage on the part of the defen ilunt. circumstances giving the appearance of an intention to commit matrimony," are, ao cording to this Judge, quite sufficient to have an action for breach of promise upon.

Then we should be an outlaw, and who would marry an outlaw! Phrenology, to be sure, would aid us materially, iu the way of ascertaining the qual ties of our distant lady tore, and it would be a saving of expense in the items of Opera tickets, ice cream, gloves, rings, and other incidentals, as a phrenological examination costs only one dollar; but all the little pleasant chats, and moonlight strolls, and gentle pressures of the hand, and the thousand other delightful accompaniments of a courtship, would be denied us. Some ingenious method of avoiding such a law might bp invented by aome Yankee genius, and 'sent free of postage cnorge to any uuurees, im one dollar." Meeting by moonlight alone, without any witness who could testify to the fact, would become quite popular.

Expressions uf attachment could be whispered, as this plan would shut out evidence that could make the caseitronger. Then, after whispering something strong, a volume in a few the youth could excluim aloud, in the presence of witnesses, that he was remarking on the finness of the weather.

The Coolkt Slave-Trade If Cooley emigration ia to be allowed at all, it must be put upon an entirely different fooling (rom what it is lit present. It is very evident from all we have heard that in most of these shipments from Chi nese porta of the Ilavunuah and countries in South America, many of the coolies are procured by a ayatuin of kidnapping, and are sent away against their will. Hence the frequent risings among lliem. Until the hole system is altered no merchant who lias the least regard for his own reputation ought to paticipatj iu it, directly or indirectly. Any patty to the continuance of such an Infamous business ought to be held up to the contempt and detestation of the public, even though, as it is said, Coolies iu Cu ba have advanced to $400 per heal.

Taking letters from the Post Office, hue become quite a business with some nf the idle rogues who bud rather live by their wits than their hands.

IiRiuiiAW, State Secretary, Old 1 iinhloocd American am. We arc told that Americanism is of mushroom growth the off spring of a few pa.it years' nci tation. If this he true, certainly 'Sam' ia a lui ty and promising child, and hit tarty strength speaks well fur Hie milk whiuh suckled him. If the infant Hercules has already managed, even in liis cradle, to tti angle eveiy deadly serpent that dared to attack him, it ia very likely lie will toon commence the 'seven labors' which are to riJ our land of Its monstrous growth of political iniquity. If the principle of American ism has already overpowered, in so many instances, the counter principle of Jesuitism, rendered abortive li letter's assulta upon our common deprived it of a growing monopoly of ohurcli property, restricted its prosclytisin of nunsand uionks.and made it, like other religious influences, amenable to the civil law we aay if Americanism has achieved so much in the green what may we not expect 'in the ripet' But iu point of reality, Amiricaiiism, as we understand it, is no 'new nor is it of late yeara alone that ita truths Lave been preaohed to the notion, for it has dwelt in the hearts of patriots ever ainca our country had a political exislenoe.

The following warning words were written half a century ago by a nan whose memory is still green in the miods of a generation uow passing away, and they breathe tha spirit of Americanism aa we now interpret it love of the soil and love of the UNION': 'If (-lays this Know Nothing of 1 nltfilil. Fu a I Allies mil moon thinly scattered through every part of the country, form a numerous class to whom the right of suffrage cannot possibly be any privilege, th i holding and exercising this right will be attended with deplorahln and incalculable evils to that cine of citizens to whom the right is moat dear and sacred. Enterprising and ambitious men, who know their own utter dereliction to all principle, and their exclusion from the walks of honor and virtue, well know that these people hare no mind uf their own. They will be perpetually intriguing among them. They will not fail to condense and Concentrate their olh Tise scattered opinions, and throw all tba weight into one scale, It is needless to ray what that scale will be.

The inliiguing and ambitious, knowing how impossible it is, and ever will be, fur themselves to rise by me rit, have their eye constantly upon this t-lasa ol people, as the true sources ol their elevatiou to power, 'It ia time the people of ibis country were made sensible of their danger. Their prepress in the path nf corruption ie rapid; and by open ing the door of citizenship so wide, and making the elective franchise ao cheap, they invite all strangers and allure all the outcasts of ji tune's children, to hover upon our coasts like a cloud of harpies; yea, to plunge into our publio affairs, to rut shoulder to the wheel, and push us 01 to Let us pause, fellow Americans and good citi-Z na of all parties let us here pause for a mo. me ut, and reflect that the above was written fifty year ago, and that it has since become prophecy. Have we Dot, in one generation, beheld the very results against which theee words were written in warning I Have we not marked the stealthy an I corrupting influence of foreigners! Have we not seen their votes thrown In united force at our elections there Ly electing the worst men, and creating the worst measures I Did not the combined strength uf foreigners and abolitionists defeat Henry Clay in 1811 and entail npon our country the evils that followed the election of Polk Did not the foreign masses, in 1882, under the instructions Louis Kossuth, support Franklin Pierce, aa the candidate who would be likely to espouse the doctrines of the Revolutionists, and involve the United Slates iu their quarrels Did not foreigners, last year, und -r the lead. ership, on the side of Ilecker, Struve, and other German socialists, and on the other of John Milchel, T.

F. Meagher, and other Irish gitatora, openly declare their detestation of American principles, and support, the one Fie moot and the other Buchanan, in order (as they proclaimed) to crush out Americanism Have not Weed, Seward, Douglas, Atchison, Gariisor, and a host of demagogues, fraternized on the one dogma of hatred to American doctrines! end have they not, one and all, striven to 'condense and concentrate' foreign Totes, in North-em and Southern opposition Ah I indeed, it is worthy of reflection. The rage for office and the sfu'rit of continues our American of half a century sinee, have made no small progress; but mora or less of these evils must always le expected to accompany the priviligis of a po ulur and free government. It ia doubtless the high rat isdom of every American to endeavor to give stability to our present Irame of-, govern nient and perpetuity to our National Union to strive to moderate the passions and harmonize the jarring interests uf parties. And much is to be hoped lor from the wisdom and virtue of the A'naiiean people.
