lfoyor's Court.-J. b. Jr. applied for a war
rant against Miss S. NJ. which being placed IN
the hand Of Garrigues, the fair one was arrested
forthwith. The charcs, taking the resPectaoi''-
ty of the parties into view, was rather a singular
one. -.

cause unexplained. and which II known, would
not be material to the case, had ceased; SINCE
which, the depOnent had been twice at'acked by
defendant with a knife, evidently with an lnten-
ion to lake his life. The last assault took place
on Friday. when he was SO severely wounded IN
the side as to be compelled to stop at the nearest
house and send for surgical aid. 1t fortunately
happened that a yonng man was IN company
with the lady at the time, who caught her arm
and broke the force of her blow. The deponent
anneared to be suffering severely from the wound,

that the ladv might be held to bail for keeping

The fair offender was Informed she must give
security in the sum of $500 to this effect; but
she positively refused, stating that she felt her
self justified in acting as she had done. Again
and again did the Mayor urge her not to impose
on him the disagreeable necessity of incarcerat-
ing her in a loathsome Jail; she was obdnrate to
| his intreaties as though she had been the unwil-
ling listner to the opportunities of a hated suitor.
Hours were thus spent, till at last MIR. GarrIgues,
in as polite a manner as possible, told his pretty
prisoner that they must take a walk out Arch
street. She could 1old out no longer. Giving
vent to a flood of tears, she begged him to 90 to
two gentlemen whom she named, and ask them
TO attend. They did so, and did what was re-
orired. They bore honorable testimony to the
purity of her character, and indeed the complain
ant declared that nothing but a conviction that
her fair fame was unsullled even by the breath Of
SUSPICION. and that her conduct had been the re-
suit Of a temporary and unaccountable %phrenZy,
could induce him TO pass the matter over thus
lightly.
Some of the workmen employed in removing
the earth from the north side OF the old State
House Yesterday dug up tombstone, considera-
Div broken. On one side of which was the fol-
lowing ~inscripuon:-
"Hear Iyetl the body of Sir William Paddy, aged

A Number of human bones, and pieces of coffin,
were also taken up BY the workmtn, and 1t Is sup
posed that during the day eight or ten thousand
persons came into State street to examine them.
This circumstance has gwen rise to various con-
lectures; but we understand, from a gentleman
who has investigated the subject, that Mr.. Pad
dy was a highly respectable indi,idual-that he
was possessed of considerable property for that
early period of the history Of the town-and that
he was one of the Board of Selectmen at the time
of his death. 1t appears by the records that he
attended a meeting of the Board on the 18th of
August. 1853. His will, a copy of which is in
the Probate office, is dated on the Goth, and he
died on the oath of the same month, leaving nine
children, which were equally provided for. LISA
little remarkable that the name OF Paddy is ex-
tinct in Massachusetts. He was a member of
the first General Court of the Province; and it has
been ascertained, We hear, that he was also a
member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company. 1t is believed that he owned the
land in which his body was inferred, and on
which the old State House now stands.
