MAN WHIPPED BY A WOMAN. On the
18th uIlimo, at Cincinnati, an amusing scene
came off in Kemble street. Ayoung lady and
a gentleman of very genteel appearance, met
pis ris on the pavement, when very un.
friendly saualion commenced in the way OF
scratching, gouging. biting, kicking, &C., which
i'll became the owner of The petlicoats, and re-
hected badly OH the ,rowserloons. After con-
siderable putting, blowing, and begging the
gent "gin in" and scampered off a'less, era.

quarters. The whole affair, save the scratch.
ing and biting-is enveloped in mystery.
