sOUNDLY WHIPPED.
a Tramp Insults an Old Lady,
and then gets Two Severe
Whippings.

Last Wednesday afternoon tramp
went TO the residence Of Mr.. Joseph
Williams, abou: one mile east of town,
and, while waiting for something to
eat, insulted Mrs. Williams in a gross
manner. She is a very old lady
over sixty years - and is not strong.
Fortunately negro girl, an oldFerrant,
was in the house, and she seized gun
and went to the rescue of her mistress.
On leveling the weapon at the tramp,
with a threat to kill bin if he did not
desist, he left the house, swearing he
would kill her (the gid } before he left
the country. She then went to the
field and informed son OF Mr.. Will
liams of the state of affairs. He went
in pursuit Of the rascal as soon as pos
sible, and. bad be net been prevented,
would have killed him. As it was,
he let him off with a good whipping.
The news was brought to town to MIR.
Joseph Williams, the husband, wh.n
he left for home Immediately. On his
way, he met the tramp near Wolf
Creek bridge, when he stopped and told
hin that he did not wish TO kill him,
but would do so if he did not submit
to a severe whipping. This the tramp
consented to, when Mr.. Williams had
his ron to take several heavy hickory
switches and give him near hundred
lashes, well laid on. He was then
released With orders to leave the neigh
borhood Immediately, or he might fare
worse.
Mr.. Williams took exactly the right
course in the matter, although it was
with difficulty that he cosld restair
himself from killing the scoundrel on
sight. No doubt the whipping he re
ceived will do more GOOD in warning
oilers of his class than killing would
have done. Besides, Mr.. Williams
mind will 6e easier than if he hac
the blood of even so vile scOundre
on his hands. 80.

THE RAILROADS.

A new change of schedule takes eff
feet next Sunday. Look out, or you
will get LEFT.
The roadmasters of railroads of the
United States and Canada have FORM
ed an association for siding each other
in their work.
b. The north>bound mail train on the
L. Il n. road was several hours late
Tuesday afternoon, owing to break
down, We learn.
The l.. & y. railroad company has
bought the Tennessee division Of the
St. Louis Il Southeastern road, run
ming from Nashville to Guthrie. This
will give short eut between Nashville
aud Clarksville.
During the month of March the
L. d n. road shipped from this place
325 hales of cotton, and the Central

New Orleans Times: The yice-pres-
ident of the jackson railroad has de,
cided to resume work ballasting the

by the fever. 1t is proposed now to
work a steam shovel at Chatawa, and
a contract has been made with parties
FROM jackson, Miss, to lead from fifty
to one hundred cars daily from the
pit at Brookhaven. If the weather
is favorable to construction during
the coming summer one hundred more
miles at least will be ballasted this
season. The track across the swamp
has been raised nearly two feet, and
is now eighteen inches above the
highest water for many years. Other
expensive Improvements have been
made to the line. Over eight hun
dred thousand new cross-ties have
been put upon the road by its present
owners, and nearly thirty-two thous-
and tons of new rails, of which twenty
thousand are steel. 1t is proposed
during the present year to add about
three thousand tons to this figure,
making a total of thirty-ive thousa nd
tons. corresponding with three hum

The company has extended its line
from Fillmore to East Cairo, and the

of arrival of the train in East Cairo to
its being attached to the st. Louis
train on the Cairo side-in twenty
two minutes, thus saving more than
one hour over the previous tedious
transit from FILLMORE.
