riage was pulled mp opposite the couple,
and Mrs. Boyd, wife of Col. Boyd, jumped
out and she proceeded to cowhide the lady
who was with her husband, numerically.
The young lady ran, Mrs. Boyd following,
but the bystanders interfered after a few
strokes had been administered. Boyd at the
command of his wife meekly entered the
carriage with her, and was driven home.

employed under him. It is said he has
been over-attentive to two or three of these
ladies, especially to one. His attentions

and she has been watching them to-day.
Just after Boyd LETT with the young lady
his wife made descent on them, as de-
scribed. Whether there is to be a divorce
or damage suit has not been developed.
