From ne Columbus { OAie Case...,

Run array Lopsrs. "A short time since,
there was seen passing thro' the streets
OF Columbus, wagon drawn by two
yoked oxen, an old man and young
girl. Our attention was directed to-
wards them by the remorseless repeti-
ton withwhich the old man'pled his goad
upon the patient oxen.--The girl was
looking with apparent anxiety, either
at the old barrels placed in the wagon
behind the board upon which she sat, or
down the street which had Just been
passed. From the pittiless blows of the
parchment faced, Bardolph old
man, who must have lived three score
years, one of the oxen had commenced
trot, and the great object appeared to
be, to get the other into the same gait.
"Ile's coming" the girl of fifteen at last
exclaimed. Atthe word, her aged COM
panion turned his head to look down the
street, and at the same time gave ais
oxen desperate, and if possible more
rnerciless blow than before. We also
looked in the same direction, and saw a
lank, lean, handy legged man pushing
forward in an Indian trot, on his goodly
stumps He soon came up to the mod
