A medical gentleman of the name of
Wheeler who lately fettled in Portsmouth,
V. having occasion tofee a patient some
distance out of town on Wednesday last,
alighted on his return at a farm house about
five miles out of town, where he was info
]ently accolled by a mulatto fellow, who
came in immediately after, & upon the doc
tor's threatening to chastise him and turn
him out, he swore he would not leave the
house 'til he got what he came for,which with
a bold tone, he said, was money ! His inso
lent and daring conduct so irritated the doc
tor, that he made a cut at the fellow with
his whip, upon which the villain drew out a
pistol, with a spring bayonet, and then (tab
bed the doftor in various parts of his body,
and absconded. We are sorry to fay, that
there is little hopes entertained of his recov
ery. As yet we have not heard of this in
fernal scoundrel being apprehended ; but
hope we soon shall ; as a very active gentle
man of Portsmouth and some others are gone
in pursuit of him.
r Newark, MAY ig.
Mr. Albertfon, an honelt and ioduftrious son of
Volcan, last week drew the 20,000 dollar prize in
the Lanfingburg Lottery. A few days previous to
his drawing the 20,000 dollars, his wife went to
Long-Bland to fee her friends. On her departure
Ihe very tenderly inquired of her husband when she
might expe& him to accompany her home. He
replied that as soon as he drew the 20,000 dollar
prize he would immediately come over and fetch
her home 1 As soon as his good fortune was an
nounced to him, he left the anvil, washed his hands
and face, and with a smile upon his countenance
repaired to Long-lfland for his spouse. The read
er can easily anticipate the sensations produced by
this interview. To the credit of Mr. Albertfon,
he has for some time past, maintained an aged and
infirm father, whose situation must now be ren
dered more comfortable.
