bought at the polls like negroes.

Last week according to the Cork
Ezaminer) halt a dozen thinkers, mount
ed on gaily caparisoned horses, mules
and donkeys, accompanied brother
tinker to lane in this city. whence he
was about to carry home the daughter OF
4 cockle-woman, whom he had success
fully wooed and won. The bridegroom
had done up his trap freshly for the oc-
casion, and the guard OF honor had
donned their very best attire. AS the
happy pair drove off, the neighbors as
sembled and gave them hearty cheer,
with 4 shower of old slippers, but
among them there was rival lover,
who had come armed with a sort Of boot
known as clog which'he hurled al
the head OF the bridegroom. The clog
missed its aim, however, and struck the
bride in the mouth, knocking three Of
her front teeth out, and bringing the
blood in torrents from her nose. While
one tinker remained in care OF the bride
the others flew down the lane, but luck
ily the people had taken refuge in thell
houses, and the thinkers came across nc
one on whom to take vengeance. Grea
excitement prevailed in the lane for {
time, as the thinkers were trying to breal
open the doors, and women were scream
inc in terror. Eventually the police GO
the thinkers to leave the lane, whence
they proceeded TO the North Intirmary
to have the brides injuries attended to
previous to returning home.
