SPORTING.

BosroN, Oct. 29@@Ned O'Baldwin
and Joe Wormald met in the prize ring
this morning, at Lynnfeld, twelve miles
from this city, to fight for $4,000 and
the championship Of the world. They
were accompanied by a large number
of pugilists and sporting men from
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and other cities The ring was pitched
on the village green. Joe Coburn and
Felix Larkin experimenting the pre-
limiuaries. O'Baldwin was the first to
enter the ring arriving at 7 o'clock
and was soon followed by his adversary.
The former was seconded by Coburn
and Charley Diamond, and the latter
by Jesse Allen and George Rookie, Dan
Noble, of New York, acted as referee.
AS soon rs the men were ready to
commence their work OBaldwin step
ped over to Wormald's corner and of
fered to bet him $1,00 even that he
would win the fight. The offer was re-
fused on account of the want of funds
on Wormald's part. The bets around
the ring were two to one on O'Baldwin.
The men shook hands, and at once
proceeded to business, amid great
cheering by the spectators. After some
sparring, Wormald made feint, which
was followed by an exchange of blows.
Some other blows followed in lively
succession, when O'Baldwin fell, and
was carried to his corner-Wormald
claiming first blood, which was allowed.
The referee had just called 'time, ?
when posse of police rushed into the
ring. and arrested O'Baldwin and Wor-
maid. Many of the spectators fled
leaving their coats behind them. An
attempt to rescue was made, but the
officers showed their pistols, and it was
summarily abandoned. Wormald and
O'Baldwin were Immediately taken to
Lynn, arraigned in the Police Court,
before Judge Newhall, and held in
S., 900 bail for appearance from day to
day. Up to the last accounts they had
not secured bail

PUNISHMENT OF A CHILD. Mary
Swingler was on Saturday sentenced al
Rochester, n. Y, to six months i'm
prisonment for having O few months
since cruelty burned the hands of her
adopted daughter, seven years old, by
holding them over the stove. The
Rochester Union says
1T was alleged by the prisoner, it will
be remembered, when in the police
court, that the little girl had stolen a
piece of candy, and it was to deter her
from committing further thefts that she
punished her in the manner she did.
By roasting the little ones hands over
the stove she said she intended to give
her an idea of what hell is, place to
which she would surely so if she stole
any more A person would naturally
suppose that woman who would ln-
flict such dreadful punishment on a
little child is very she devil, but Mrs.
S. is not to be placed in that category.
She thought it her dnty to punish the
child to save her soul from perdition,
and nothing could SO well convey her
idea Of perlition to the little ones ten
der mind as roasting its hands over a
"young hell, the whitening fire of a
cooking stove. The ordinations Of
the little girl Oh mother, it hurts"
" Oh! mother it hurts awfnllyr'-and
the noises of the cracking flesh. did
not make the woman desist, and the in
reference of neighbors only prevented
her from infieting injuries which would
doubtless have proved permanent But
few women in this city have more be-
nevolent and peaceable looking counte-
nances than hers. We are not quite
sure that Mrs. Svingler is Of entirely
sound mind.
