Traveling from Kansas to Michigan to Whip a Man.

[From the Branch County (Mich.) Republican.

An incident occurred in Pittsford, Hillsdale county , a few days since, worth relating. A scoundrel by the n.mite of Perrin has been in the' habit, for a’number of years, of maltreating, whipping and otherwise abusing his wife, a highly accomplished, intelligent and beautiful woman. A brother of the lady , Fe<iding near El wood, Kansas, lately received a letter in which his sister’s sufferings were so vividly painted, that it at once aroused his long smothered indignation. Scarcely waiting to bid bis family good bye, Ibe hastened with all his speed oi steam and tide, in order to take the law in his own hands; or, in other words, in true Border Ruffian style, to.give the fellow a downright thrashing. This he accomplished to his entire satisfaction, and left with a promise to visit him again should occasion require it. He is now on his way home, with a happy I consciousness of duty done, and feeling, as | he says, more like a Christian than he did ! when he came. The knight of the cudgel is no Border Ruf- ! flan, hut on the contrary, is one of tiie j strongest advocates of the Jfe&pubiican prin- , ciples, while Perrin adheresTo modern Deiri- - ocracy and beautifully illustrates its princi- ! pies. Divorces in London. —The new Court of ; Divorce established in London appears to be pretty well occupied, some cig l t or ten : cases being settled daily, and still it is said that this Court has more arrearages than : any other Court in London. Daily a full column is occupied in the L.tnji >n journals in the revelation of great cruelty on the one side, and open, shameless infidelity on the ; other. Neither family, position nor means { appear to afford tiny guarantee for conjugal i propriety. The corn and potatoe crops of Jasper county promise well. Much of the fall • wheat has been winter-killed, while the spring wheat is doing fine.
