For some weeks past this city has been rife with sensations, gossip and scandal, to such an extent that little else has been talked of. A little of everything, from shooting scrapes down to trivial society gossip, have occurred with almost daily regularity, until such things were ex- pected as daily visitors. On Saturday last, how- ever, the attempted whipping of Jo E. Sheri- dan, by Mrs. Munger, created no end of com- ment, and the community was not slow in ex- pressing its sentiments in regard to the matter. At first the woman seemed to have the sym- pathy, but it rapidly changed to the side of Sheridan as the facts in the case became better known.
