Horsewhipping a town clerk is happily a pastime not often indulged in by the fair sex. The Smythesdale correspondent of the Star states that the town clerk of Smythesdale was horsewhipped there on Friday by a Mrs Jones. “Itappeas that Mr Kellandwent with an advertisement to the Grenville A dvocade office, soipe conversation then took Wace'b'etweeh hiijj'aiidMra Jones', when very strong language as is stated wat made use of on both aides, and Mrs Jones, who, it seems, had been nursing her wrath to keep it warm, in consequence of the treatment she considers her husband to have received in his business transactions with Mr Kelland, at length ap-

plied the whip vigorously to that gentleman. The belligerents came outside the building and into the street, Mr Kelland partly defending himself, and partly trying to wring the whip from Mrs Jones. The lady at last, while holding on to the whip, fell on to her knees, but still managed to retain possession of the weapon. ”
