NOVEL OCCURRENCE.

Yesterday black and mulatto girl had a
quarrel in this city, in which the latter struck
the former with sad iron. They were both
taken before magistrate and white girl as a
witness. The mulatto girl unperceired by any
one but the black girl, uns eatprd long sharp
pointed knife, and drove it directly at the black
girl; she was, however, but slightly wounded.
Another lounge was instantly made, and thr
black girl stepping aside, the knife penetrated
the upper par, OF the inside of the thigh Of the
white girl about four inches, making most
dangerous wound. The muatto girl now threw
the knife directly a, the magistrate, but, harpi-
ly. did not hit him. She vas now seized, tied,
and committed TO prison We understand she
declared tina, her intention was to have killed
the black girl, and that she regretted she hal
not accomplished her object.

in the language of General Washington, who,
more than forty years ago, when urging Con-
gress to engage in this great work, said, SOUR
interest u so much in unison with this measure
that nothing short Of that illtimed and misap
piled parsimony, and contracted way Of think

generous hearted fellow, eat out of house and

that Hiram has been sent to the state prison for
