~ A gentleman in town, whom for
short we will call Bob, had occasion 10
hit a negro the other day, and not knock
ing him down as he expected, he was
fearful lest his friends should entertain
doubts as TO his prowess. To allay sus-
picion in this respect and to make his
friends believe that it was not because
he didn't deal a manly blow, he slipped
cut behind the house and battered his
fist against a brick wall, and then had it
dressed, and now exhibits it in triumph.
