SERVING A WARRANT-AN UNEXPECTED De
WORCESTERSHIRE days ago a colored man named
Carolina Sumter assaulted a woman and gave her
a severe beating. The latter made her complaint
to Trial Justice Magrath, and o warrant was Issued
for the arrest OF the offender. Armed with this
process OF law the constable proceeded to the en-.
| closure Of the Northeastern Railroad Depot, In
which there were several cows just arrived by the
train, and among them a bull whose equanlmIty
had not yet been restored since the JriJing and
| other indignltles he had experienced on the road.
Seeing his man o little way or the constable walk
ed boldly In towards him, but Carolina recogniz.
Ing the officer, and suspecting the purpose of
his visit, gave leg bail. The officer followed in
hot pursuit. At this crisis the bull, seeing
the fun going on, gave 20 snort, and with
tail in air and head down rushed like mad at the
man with the warrant. The onset was so sudden
that the constable could not get out Of the way, and
before could he say "Jack Robinson" the horns
| OF the enraged animal were disposed about the
lower part Of ha person In way to give full scope
to their protective force. In a moment the officer
was describing several fanciful evolutIons In the
air, landing on the other side Of the railroad
track In the mud. He got up to behold his four.
footed assanant on the other side OF the track,
manifesting every desire to renew the encounter.
No injuries resulted from the attack beyond the
| spelling OF a suit OF clothes and O few bruises.
Carolina took advantage OF this unexpected diver.
sion In his favor and effected his escape. Subse-
quently, however, the officer met with betterluck,
and keeping a sharp lookout for playful quadru-
peds, succeeded In arresting Carolina, who was
brought before the trial Justice, and having been
found guilty, was sentenced to pay a fine Of SO
and costs or go to jail for thirty days.

The RIGHT OF CHALLENGE.-In organizing
the jury, on Wednesday, In the Circuit Court, in
the case OF the United States vs.. the Beaufort
commissioner for tampering with ballots in vic.
lstlon Of the election laws OF Congress, the fol-
lowing rulings were made, after full argument by
counsel:
First. That the act of Congress OF 1866 allowing
ten challenges, In all cases other than capital,
where peremptory challenges are now allowed,
has reference to cases where the statutes OF the
United States recognize peremptory challenges.
Second. That the law OF the State Of South
Carolina, in reference to challenges, In cases OF
misdemeanor, Is the rule in the United States
courts, which law allows TWO peremptory chal.
lenges to either side.
Third, That each OF the three defendants Jointly
injected and being tried together, have a right 10
challenge two, and the United States to challenge
six.
Fourth. That In exercising this right Of chal-
lenges when jurors are sworn, by the poll on their
uotr' dire, the peremptory challenges are to be
alternated between the United States and defen-
dant.
