DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT ARsoNAND MUIR
DER. We find in the Evening Mrpr of Mon
day, the following particulars ola desperate at
tempt at arson and murder in the tity of N.
York:
This morning about O'Clock, a man named
Andrew Klein, was discovered pilitg straw
and wood against the door of house in 18th st.
between LIST and I'd Avenues, to which pile he
had set fire. Upon some of the neighb,rs run
ming to the spot, KLEIN retreated into his house,
which was within three yards of the other
house.
The cry of murder was heard from theburn-
ing house, and the window being broken in, a
boy about II years of age was taken out! H,
stated that his mother and a eli lid were still il
the building. The back of the house was then
broken in and the woman and child taken out.
The woman was insensible and was 50 badly
burned about the chest, arms and head that
there is little chance of her recovery The
child was not much burned the woman hav-
ing, with the true instinct of mother, covered
it with her own body. twas, however, near
ly suffocated with smoke.
Klein in the meanwhile had fastened him self
in his house, and having armed himself with a
lance, he refused to surrender. An eSlsperated
crowd of Irish now surrounded his shanty and
threatened to tear him to pieces. Two officers
having arrived an attempt was made TO arrest
him, but he defended himself with his knife
and lance by stabbing at the crowd through the
crevices of his door and window. A large
crowd having now collected, rush was made
and the door broken open. Still Klein kept
his foes at bay with stones, having been dis
armed Of his knife and lance by the officers who
snatched at them as they were stuck through
the crevices At last, one of the officers made
a demonstration at the back window which at
tracted KLEIN for a moment, when hs was sud-
denly pinioned in the arms ofthe officer in front
and was secured.
He is desperate, surly, gigantic fellow, and
is said to have Indian blood in his veins He
has built high fence around his shanty, and
makes no acquaintance, and admits no visitors
excepting at night, when the Lowest grade of
negroes is seen entering. He has been under
bonds tor some time past for shootinga sailor.
No cause can be assigned for the n,urderous
act of this morning, except that his suty dspo-
sltion made il an annoyance to him 10 have
neighbor in his immediate vicinity. The house
he set fire to, was within three yards of his
shanty.
The name of the woman burned is Hanlan,
and she is the wife of Edward Hanlan. KLEIN
severely injured her yesterday by throwing at
her large stone, and she had complained at
the Police. She probably will not live.

THE CHRISTMAS WISH.

When to the raptured mortal ear
Nights silence by angels broken,
The shepherd host were blessed to hear
A "Chrstmas Wish" by angels spoken
The choir that heralded SaYiour's birth
Chanted "Good Win to Men, and ''Peacc on Earh''
Can we better wish devise
Than angels spoke by Gods dctation?
Be yours the Peace that make TN wise,
With wisdom leading to Salvation
Y'he Covenant Peace Saviour's blood has sealed,
And that Good VIII His word and works revealed.
In His strength be the good fight fought,
By His Commandments e'er he guided
Let God be III your every thought
Revile not back, though sore derded-
Thus not alone shall Peace Earth be given,
But, this life passed, you shall find Peace in Heaven.
