A WOMAN VOTER. – Much amusement was created at the polls of the Third Ward, at the recent election in Alexandria, Va., by an attempt to carry “Woman’s Rights” into active exercise. The wife of a voter who was confined to bed by illness appeared, and demanded to cast her husband’s vote. Upon a refusal she became quite irate, and in reply to the jeers of some of the crowd, seized a brickbat, and for a while cleared the front of the polls. She was at length quieted and conducted away.
