Serious ARRAY.

We learn that a serious atfray occurred last
evening about o'clock, on the corner of JEFF.
ferson and Washington Avenues, in this city.
\ company of '.tinpan-alogians had assem-
bled at that place, to serenade a newly married
couple, when becoming too noisy and proceed
ing to do damage to the house by breaking the
windows &c.-the bridegroom discharged a
loaded shot gun at them, which took effect
upon Tailor, by the name of Patrick Haley.
who was quietly at work across the street,
Some of the shot lodged in his forehead. His
wounds are not at all dangerous, and the only
serious cause of regret is, thatthe young scape-
graces who We're engaged in making the night
hldeous, did not receive an instGkn7eRt s'of the
wedding gift" Such rows, TO be sure, ought
not to encourage the use of fire arms so freely,
but little ''grape" in the rear, would tend
somewhat to discourage this kind of musical
tallent.-Ail. Com .4qc,

fell overheard and slipped under the boat. the
next instant he was picked up by the paddle
of the wheel, and safely and without injury
deposited in the wheel house. So sudden was

curious revolution and fearful escape from
death, through which he had passed" Rather
