A WOMAN'S VENGEANCE.

The Princeton correspondent of the Colusa Sun tells tlie following story : "A case of injured innocence was disposed of not long since near this>city. We suppress the names of all concerned owing to their respectability. A gentleman yras visiting his friends' house. Business called mine host! to absent .himself for a few days, leaving hia guest to enjoy that hospitality for which he and his are so proverbial. In the absence of the gentle* man of the house, the guest made some improper overtures to the wife, who resented the insult, commanding him't* leave at once, which he did for fear upon the husband's return he would be dealt as his perfidy deserved. iJNToI bejng con-. tent with the insult, he added injury by stating to a neighbor he was compelled to leave his friends' once hospitable roof from the perfidy of his wife, whom he apprehended violating their marriage rows. Upon the return of mine host, and, being informed of what had transpired in his absence, his rage knew no bounds, and ere his foaming steed had ceased to draw a quick breath,. from a desire to be more hospitable to his neglected friend, he again vaulted in the saddle, determined to find this vile accuser. To Colusa he went, and shortly overhauled his family's traducer, pinioned his arms and returned to his house, lie summoned the neighbor and brother of his wife and stated the facts. The victim's tongue failed to articulate a word in vindication of himself and sentence was pronounced. The wife was armed with a rawhide of no meagre dimensions, and at once made ready; to assuage her wrath, whioh was done to the tune of not less4>han 100 well laid on lashes. As this weapon was being plied, at each lick burying itself into, the flash, the victim was crying lustily for mercy, but the irate spouse knew no mercy' for htm who would ruin her peace of mind and her happiness, until physical nature had exhausted itself Tbe victim, bruised and bleeding was allowed to depart, wending his way hence, no one knew and noqe oared where."
