A Macon Editor Cow-Hided by
A Woman.
H. II. Jones, one of the editors of the
Telegraph & Messenger, was publicly cow-
liidcd ou the 7lh inst. by a lady whose
father laid been disrespectfully mentioned
in Unit paper. ’ As soon as J ones recovered
from his astonishment at such strange and
unexpected proceedings, lie wrenched the
whip from her hands, and crossing die
street, feathered in on her husbund, who
was doubtless taken as much by surprise
as the editor had been.
Lost His Head.
Last week, Bill Hightower, commonly
known as “River Bill,” (colored) drove liis
oxen down to die ferry landing, on the
Dublin side, where he eudeavored to stop
them until the flat, which was on the other
sido, should return. But the down-grade
was rapid and the load heavy, so die oxen
not being , able to stop the cart readily,
marched into the river, and’ soon got into
swimming water. The cart-body floated
off with Bill’s meal, sugar, and other goods,
the darkey jumped out and swam ashore,
managing some liow to get his team hack
to land with him. He afterwards recovered
the cart-body witli part of his groceries,
but in a badly damaged condition.
Having secured these, lie addressed him
self to flic punishment of liis oxen. To
this end he hurled a stone with great vio
lence at one of them, and missing him, he
became so enraged that he sprang at the ox
like a mad buli-dog, and caught him al>ove
the eye with his teeth, holding ou with an
insane grip, and screaming all the while
like one gone mad. There is no telling
what would have been the result bad not
tho Rev. T. W. Johnson, who witnessed the
whole transaction, interfered iu behalf of
the ox.
