A SENSATION. Considerable sensation
was produced at TIE lower end of King
street at an early hour this morning by the
cowhiding of resident O. the First ward by
an enraged female, who oh. urged the former
with conducting himselfin an. upIope. man
ner before the female members OF her 1amiiy.
The accused was in house on the opposite
side of the street, when the woman VINO
made the charges sent for him to come over
to her house. The man, unconscious rs ne
alleges of having incurred any guilt, coiu-
piled with the request, and having entered
the house the door was shut and he found
himselfa captive. The woman forthwith
produced formidable looking horse-Whlp
and proceeded numerically to belabor the
man who had excited her ire. The accused
finally succeeded in opening the door and
reaching the street, but his Nemesis follow
ed him, and inflicted several other blows
with the butt end of the weapon. The par
ties then separated, the man protesting his
Innocence Of the charge and the woman
reiterating her allegations.
