Martha Williams, Mag Huske, Mary Blackman, Jessie Blackman, Daisy Hor ton and Georgiana Carpenter, all colored, were tried yesterday evening before Squire Overby and fined, for fighting. Friday morning they were picking strawberries in Mr. W. D. Smith's patch on Haymount, when the six, at the same moment spied a strawberry, described by one of the witnesses to have been as big as a guinea egg. A simultaneous dive was made for the monster. Six kinky heads bumped together at the same time, but Daisy Horton -happened to land with her mouth on the prize,and without much trouble caused it to disappear. Martha Williams, the bell-wether of the flock, tried to shake ' it out of the girl's mouth, but too late; it was out of sight. Becoming infuriated, she slapped the girl, whereupon the flock paired off and a general battle ensued, and raged all day with varying success. When a truce was called there were many ugly scars to be counted, souvenirs of brick bats, finger nails, tin buckets and muscular demonstrations generally.
