effect, whereupon the Elder uncoiled
from under his coat a tall 'grim-visaged'
cow-skin. and applied it vigorously
upon the person of Mr.. E.. whom he
held with one hand while he busted
his clothes with the other. In the
mean time a crowd of more than hun
dred people assembled, who courte-
ously formed a ring around the actors,
without attempting to interrupt them.
The Elder was too powerful for his OPP
poocnt. and therefore thrashed him till
he was satisfied with MS geance.-
At the close of the cow-hiding, the
Elder addressed the crowd nearly as
follows-"Gentlemen, | am G. J. Ad-
ans. This person without the slight
est proyocation on my part, has wan
tonly assaulted my character in paper,
of which he is the editor, and for this

withdrew. It is gratif, ing to add thai
