| CORRECTlON--THE ASSAULT.
We were somewhat in error in our pa
per Of yesterday morning III our account
of the assault upon DR. 'lltfin and demand
of his horse. The error consists in the
name OF the person assaulted, but none in
the facts narrated. 1t was DIR Sykes, III
stead of Dr. riilin. In the ear! y part OF
the evening he had been called t" make u
professional visit, and was returning home
on horseback between / and IL O'Clock
While riding along Third street. between
Locust and Vine, lie observed u man at d
distance, hundred yards ahead of, and
advancing towards him. As they ap'
preached, the man gradually divergeo
! from the side walk towards him, anc
when they came opposite each other, ane
about three or four feet apart, the mar
made sudden spring towards the doctor
and seized his horses bride. DR. Syk es
being unarmed, and even without riding
whip, made shew Of an intention to dis
mount, by balancing himself firmly Ill the
fstirrup, on the opposite side from his as
=, sailanl; and taking the foot next him on
of the s.irrup, drew i. back as 1t IN the ac
Of dismounling. and then gave the fello"
such a we'll directed and etfectual kick or
the side of his face or head, as brough
him senseless 10 the ground. The Doc
tor then called for the Watch; and after ;
short time the man, recovering from thu
stun he had received. got up and attempt
: ed to walk off, the Doctor pursuing hin
and still calling for the Watch. The
: Watch came and culed him, bore hin
! off to the Calaboose, and there securely
deposited him.-M Louis Mo. Rep.
