East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1860-11-08

SELF distributing his blows with great
impartiality, and knocking over The com
batants like nine pins. We soon reached
the middle Of the square, where the fight
was hottest, The captain was swept .
away in an eddy for a moment, and right |
in front of Penruddock aud myself two
men were graphing on the ground. As
they rolled over, we saw that one was
the hamm ersmth who had caused the
whole aifrv. We flung ourselves upon
them, and dragged them up. Tho dealer
with whom | was more particularly en-
gagged had got the worst oft, and plainly
wasn't sorry TO be released from the
clutches of his antagonist. With his foe
it was different His slow sullen blood
was fairly in a blaze, AMI when John
pushed him aside, he dashed at him and
struck him severe blow on the face
In twinkling Pcnruddock's coat was off,
while the faintcst stream Of blood trickled
from his upper lip. "Well, my man,
said he, as he stood up ready for action,
''if that's the game you mean to play at,
| hope to give you = bellyful before I've
done" "Seze that man, knock him
over" said Broster; "you'rc surely not
going to fight hin, Penruddock, it's sheer
madness; knock him over" 81 tell you
what it is" said Pcnruddock, turning
ssvagely, "you sha'n't deprive me Of the
luxury Of giving this fellow a sound hid
ing" Brostcr shrugged his shoulders
as if giving up the case. BY this time
the cry arose, "Black Jim's goin' to fight
the gentleman and a wide enough ring
was formed. Many who were prosecu
ting small combats of their own desisted,
that they might behold this greater one.
Broster stood beside John. Giles an
ugly mass Of strength, whispered he,
"and will hug you like bear; keep him
well off, and remain cool for Heavens
sake "Ready" said John, stepping for
ward. AS lark i the mornin, growled
Jem, as he took up his ground. The
men were very wary, Jem retreating
round and round, John advancing. Now
and then one or the other darted out a
blow, but it was generally stopped, and
no harm done. AT last the blows went
home; the blood began to rise. The men
drew closer, and struck with greater ra'
pidity. They are at it at last, hammer
and tongs. No Sinking or hinching now
,Jem's food was flowing. He was evidently
getting severely punished. He couldn'
last long at that rate. He fought des
aerately for close, when binding blow
full in the face brought him to the earth
He got up again like mailman, thu
whole bulldog nature of him possessed
and mastered by fierce, brutal rage. liz

supporters to get at his enemy, but b.
main force they held him back till he re

in his face that BODIED so good. The fea
lures had hardened into iron somehow
the pitiless mouth was clenched, the ey
cruel. A hitherto unknown part Of HI
nature revealed itself to me as he stoo
there. Perhaps unknown to HIMSELF
God help us, what strangers we are
ourselves
In every mans nature there is an il
