We honestly and sincerely re- gret the mortification and embarrass- ment placcd on the innocent parties. To that depraved specimen ofht human nature whose perverted sense of hu- mor prompted theinsult and injury to a young lady, :we have nothing but supreme contempt. The action is one. of a coward, who may have taken this means to vindicate an imaginary wrong. The party who sent in the item may think there is something smart about it; so does the vendetti who thrusts a knife between the shoulder blades of his victim. A stab in the darkon the reputation of a young lady is nothing to this 'degen- erate. We -regret :exceedingly the pub- lication of the item, which we .ac- cepted in good faith.
