A man Corroded by two woman.

--A young man, resident in the thirteenth ward, New York, was cowhided on Saturday evening. It is stated that, though a married man, he had been for some time past paying his attentions to a young lady, and was engaged to be married to her. But before the marriage the young lady discovered his true character, and informed his wife. The two women then conspired to punish him. On Saturday evening the young woman appointed to meet him in the fourteenth ward. At the proper time he made his appearance at the place of appointment; but instead of meeting one lady he met two, his injured wife and intended victim. The women were each armed with a strong cowhide, and as soon as he came within reach they took him by the collar, and administered a severe castigation. The follow cried justify for help, and was finally rescued from the indignant females by an officer, who took him to the station house for safe-keeping.
