His good wife was there, however, and instead of fainting, as roost of women would have done, she put down .all the windows, and securing a stick, made war on the vicious bird. The hawk showed fight, but the battle was a short one and m a few moments the plucky woman was master of the situation, she having killed the in truder.” Waycross Market Reports.

Milton Jen kins, a vicious negro, entered the house unobserved shortly after Mr. Taylor, who is the watchman for the Savannah, Florida & Western railroad at the St. Mary bridge, had left for his night watch, and secreted himself until Mrs. Taylor had retired. He then proceeded to execute his hellish crime. Fortun ately, Mrs. Taylor discovered him ere.&c could hush herorios by grap pling her throat, and ahe cried lustily, and help soon came and drove the monster from the thresh- hold before he had accomplished his object.
