Mrs. REID, hotel keepers wife, cow
hided a lawyer and temperance adyo-
cate and lecturer named Cornelius Z
Baird, in Baltimore yesterday, under cir
eumstances that will tend very much to
excuse the violation of the law and the
breach Of the peace occasioned thereby.
The lawyer had insulted the hotel keep
er's wife and then wrote him a letter that
added further insult to both the man aud
wife. The result was that Mrs. Reid
Went TO the lawyers office and told him
that if her husband did not punish him
Tor the insult when he came home she
would do it herself. Mr.. Reid came home
the next day, and after reading the letter
secured a cowhide, and accompanied by
ged him severely. Mrs. Reid superin-
tended the job and urged her husband
TO apply the cowhide again atter he had
desisted Baird's screams brought great
crowd to his office, when Mr.. and Mrs.
Reid retired in good order. Balrd's let
ter to Reid was IA scandalous document,
of which his own friends must feel much
ashamed. 1t was calculated to do him
self and his cause only injury, and it is
altogether likely that the fellow is mere
pettifogger and Dlackmailer; a disgrace
to the profession. Reid kept temper

The telegraph the other day announced
the stoppage OF the Fall River Mills, in
Massachusetts,, which will create great
distress no doubt as many hands receive
employ in them. The despatch says
that by the stoppage Of the Troy, Stat
ford, Flint, Chase, Robeson, Weetamor,
the two Tecumseh and the two Wam-
panoag mills, and the Border, City,
Sycamore and Union, there are nearly
1900 out of fS0, 600 looms remaining idle.
Its stated that the other mills will shut
down next week. Some are running on
contract and cannot stop at present.
Many here think the mills ought tc
have stopped long ago, and that If the
movement should extend now through
the whole Of New England as trade
would be started in the fall, its impetus
would keep business moving. By the
stoppage Of these. mills some 1900
operatives are thrown out of employ
ment.
From the west we have another story
of distress. 4 special despatch from
Belleville, ILL.,, states that the condition
ofthe striking miners is deplorable, 800
being on the verge of starvation, and
nothing in prospect to obtain sustenance
for themselves and families. Not n mine
in the country around Raibs station,
Belleville and Dutch Hollow has been
worked for over a month. The coal
operators, recently met in East st. Louis
and decided TO pay the miners two and
O half cents per bushel, their demand,
and next morning, Thursday, about five
hundred miners went to work in the
pits, but on learning that the operators
did not intend to pay them the stipula-
ed two and half cents they withdrew
from the mines in body, and have
since refused 10 work unless the proprie-
tors Of the coal mines accede TO their de-
mands.
In Dutch Hollow and at Raibs station
the miners are in a worse condition than
at any other places. There hundreds OF
men, women and children daily walk
the streets begging FOR bread. In some
instances they have been turned out in
the wet, damp weather, women, children
and old men alike, the doors OF the mis-
erable huts being shut in their faces by
the strong hands of the owners. A
committee were in the East st. Louis
this morning soliciting subscriptions Of
money and food for the relief ofthe suf-
feriDg miners.
