GAMBLING AND MURDER.

A MAN KILLED IN HIS BSP'

pro,
Ou Saturday, the Ist instant, at the Sea View '-- the
Hotel, Navesink, N.J., shortly before five o'clock, 4,
bar-keeper of that establishment, Albert S. Moses, 'it,
stabbed in the throat by the book-keeper, Jamesei
Donnelly. A female, employed in the house, 1117,6il
Ellen Hurl'', met Moses in the ball, in a wildly e%c"bi
state, with the blood streaming from his throat, 11,60 to
was trying to staunch with his hands. She ran awallip
fear, and gave the alarm. When assistance was prog—„gos
and the injured man was taken back to his bed, he 400
the following statement :—IIe had sat up the previhsti
night, he said, gambling with Donnelly, of whom be
~"ti
won nearly silty dollars. This money he had taint',
his room and deposited, together with other moneYs,o
longing to the house, which he had received at the u.a,
between the mattresses of an unoccupied bed in au is
joining room, having a door communicating with his °0
chamber. Just about daylight he was awakened,; h',
noise, but b-fire he was thoroughly conscious, I°6o
c ived a blow iu the throat from a sharp instrument. go
started up and saw Donnelly rushing for the door. fel
jumped from his bed, ran along the passage, as 1140
stated, and gave the alarm, with the blood pouring
yy
the gash in his throat. It would appear, from what bd
since come to light, that the money lost by Dannelly, 110
won by :Iloses, was not the property of Donnelly, but apf
abstracted by him on the previous night from the salto
the hotel, and that this sum, when missed, would testis
p-OvPd his dishonesty. He therefore was driven to !„(
desperate resource of recovering it from Moses by robtn;
the later while he was asleep. Moses happening to st!,
as though aroused by the movement of another partfir
his room, the thief, who had come armed for an efil,o,
gency, plunged the weapon int) his throat. A dirk kill',
which was known to have been in Donnelly's possessit/n.g
few days since, cannot be found, and he says he does 0;,
know where it is. A coroner's jury was immedia'illVin4
vened, who returned the following verdict :—" We
from the testimony given to us, both by the dying Ina al
who was in his perfect senses, and other witnesses, I"
Albert S. Moses received the wound in his throat, frog
which he now lies dead, at the hands of James P. .I)°".'

A. DOCTOR AND A SCHOOLMASTER IN TROUI3I,I.

Considerable excitement has lately existed in reference
to one of our physicians, Dr. Woods, who has be;
escorted out of town by a company of gentlemen, vi
notified him that his return would secure a coat of tar 2134
feathers. I know nothing of the facts, and merely gIL
you the street talk in reference to the matter. Dr. Wood,
resided here some twelve months ago, and was hospitab'l
receited and boarded by a private family. There Ore.
e
several interesting daughters in th's family, including
little creature about 15 years of age. The D3c!or seesoe
to become enamoured of this girl, and was very attentive ,*,
.
her. One day, however, the Doctor happened to letae:.
private letter exposed, so that it reached the eyes of tP„,
father, and this letter contained the most vulgar chart(7,
against the girl. The father immediately sought satisfeg,
tion by personal chatisement. He sought the Doctor Olt;
fired at, bat missed him. The matter was then taken 24
hand by others, and the Doctor escaped punishment eis
leaving the city p omptly in twenty•four hours. Ile fello
to St. Louis, and, as the story goes, there in solemn Ores
reiterated the charges against the girl, declaring that h,"
had had illicit dealings with her. This feet came to t,.,";
knowledge of some friends of the family, wbo, knoww,,;
their entire falsity, exerted themselves to keep t:g
matter from them, and spare the feelings of the inane"'
young lady. About six months ago, the Doctor reture7
to Cairo, seemingly repentant of what he had done,- as
o
the E eject was not revived. More recently, however,
renewed his accusations in private conversation, and a daf
or two since this fact came to the knowledge of some 120
the friends of the family. He was then waited upon bf
delegation of our best ci;izens, and invited to walk over'
Mayor Taylor's office. 11e accompanied them because h.e
could net do wherwie. He was there made to retract ,
writing everything he had said against the young leg;
and to apologize to her by the same instrumentality. P
was then allowed two hours to prepare himself to leave
the city. The self constituted cnmmittee did not leave bit
but remained with him daring the two hours, and the"
e carted him to the depot. Aboard the cars, the D 'et!!
thanked them for their attention, and reg. eLted his inabib`/
to in Ike a speech ! Hid he remained here over night, the
excitement against him, I am sure, would have resulted
in his receiving a coat of tar and feathers.
We have another Excitement. An Irish Catholic named
Mahoney, has been teaching school in Ohio City, g"
°posit° this place, for a year past. During that time 13:
made the acquaintance of a young Am-rican lady, of Eves
personal beauty and bau:some accompltshmeets.
made love to her, and as rumour has it, succeeded 0
winning the heart of the fair one, or et least securing h6f,
consent to a marriage engagement, if it met with the
approbation of her pa-ents. In the meantime, the IRO'
gogue has remove I here, and opened a school, and mite
recently addressed a note to the father of the young lad/.
asking her hand in marriage. The parent indignantll
refused his assent. This called forth a long letter from'
the school-teacher, who told the father he might as Well
consent, as the intimacy between the daughter and bin:lse"'
had destroyed her maidenhoo I ! The con ents of the
letter became known in Ohio City, and caused the greatest
exci ement. Mahoney has been ordered to leave Cairo, 10
double quick time, and a number of young Missomioe
are on his scent, determined yet to treat him with a suit of
clothing, which will stick closer to him than a brother.-'

THE DOCTOR AND vua CANTATRI:R.—Dr. Mug° Yor!
Awherg, hornayathic dmtor, broug'l an action against
Mine. Barghi-Mamo, n entatrice of the Paris Opera, to °build
from h r vyrnent of I,ooofr. for medical advice. Se
stated that on ,he 18th of March last, the la ly was sud-
denly seizsd with an extinction of her voice, and that he
was called in to attend her. He p-escribed, and the con-
sequence was that she was able to sing in the evening.
He visited and prescribed far her on subsceytem days, and
her voice re.;ained all its power and treihn?ss. 8130
however subsequently refused to remunerate him properly,
for his s•rvice-, arid he was obliged to bring this cmtiorie
Mme. foretii-Memo repremated that she had only been
attacked with a sli;lat irritation of the thrait, and that
having called in the plaintiff, he had prescribed for het
some aconite pills. He had called upon her five times
afterwards, and had ordered marl pills, but MS she had
quite recovered she did not take them, He e tined dis-
posed to continue bis visit, but she told him that she was
not in further want of his services, and asked him what
she was to pay for the prescriptions he had given The
next day, to her astonishment, he claimed 1 000 tr. She
thought 10fr, a visit would have been amply sufficient►
and as he hal paid six visits, that would make 80fr. ; bet
she wee willing to pay 100 f. She added that the doe or
was
.a Hungarian refugee, and that knowing s •mething of
C MUC he had obtained permission to g. beihtud the scenes
of the Opera, but that he had so annoyed the performers 131
thrusting his services on them, that the permission had
been retracted. She further said that, some time are he
made a demand of I,ooofr. on M. Gueymard, the
singer, for prescriptions not worth a tenth of the money.
The tribunal declared that the doctor's bill was eX"
aggerated, and that be must content himself with the
100(r. offered.
