Joe Coburn Meets His Match.
From the New York Sun.

On Thursday night San reporter dropped
| into refreshment saloon on Sixty fifth
street and Second avenue where he found
Joe Coburn holding forth to an awe-struck
audience. 1t seems that Mr.. Coourn had
infrinyed on the order of Jones Wood on
that day, and bet rather heavily on Fitz-
gerald as the winner OF the long race Fitz-
gerald had about two years ago carried Off
the prize at this race. but has on the last
two occasions, been distanced by others.
This was too much for Joe. so he felt very
irrate toward the whole race of Scots. A
brawny stalwart Scot, in Highland costume
stepped upon the scene. Him Joseph in
stantly seized as most fit object on whom
to vent his wrath toward the whole Scottish
faction. He rudely seized the Sawney by
the arm and told him he could lick any
Scotsman on the ground" The Scotsman
cody told him there was q doubt on the
subject. and ordered him to remove Ills
hands.
DO you know who am Joe roared
No beloved the other. NOR do
care"
Il am Joe Coburn''-
Before Joe could finish the sentence he
found himself face upward upon the foor
Once, twice. thrice Joe tried to recover
ground, but in vain. Batfled in his great
energy. Joe thought it was high time to re-
difficulty i'll his favor. but the cool and
wiry CaledOnian seemed instinctively to
know Joes intentions. Taking hold of Joe's
cropping dexter. he shook his head depre.
catingly. and said
Ma. ma, mon; ye mamma do that. Pts

Saying which he gave Joes baud wrench
and squeeze. Joe started to his feet, and
after little busting and preliminary ex-
PLANTATION, offered to treat the whole party.

From private letter received from Cap
tain L. S. Hardee. we learn that on Satur-
day, the ninth instant his two little boys,
aged nine and six years, with two other
little friends, went out hunting for grapes
and other wild fruit in the woods near
Chatawa. On their return. at night, all
four OF them were stricken down with burn
ing fever. and some Of them Immediately
became delirious. The Captain took the
little sufferers to New Orleans on Monday
mornings train, and his younger son-a
bright and beautiful lad-died soon after
reaching the city, death being preceded by
commissions. The others We're in a preca-
rious state until the fifteenth, when they
began to improve, and are now out of dan
ger. The symptoms attending these cases
indicate that the children were poisoned
during their rambles. Their account is
that they only eat fox grapes, but it is said
that there is poisonous grape resembling
the fox grape; also, that there IS very
snail spider which webs up in the lunches
OF the fox grapes which is exceedingly poi
