An unusual fogg; ng case took place in this
vicinity on Tuesday night last. 1t seems that
a colored mail named Alfred E:kins had for

ney Wilson, of his own race, and had taken
the advantage of Sydney in becoming too
intimate With the wife of the latter. Finally,
the matter came to such pass that Elkins
took possession of Sidncy'5 domicile and
family, and literally turned him out Of his
own house. At this juncture, settle of
Sydney's colorcd friends came to his relief,
and on Tuesday night took Elkiho from the
residence of Sydney, short distance from
town on the Berryvie turnpike, and after
tying him to q tree in the woods of MIR. Z.
J. Manning, gave him severe foggiug.
Etkins probably deserved the punishment he
received, but it is altogether wrong for per-
sons thus to take the law in their own hands
