an article Of personal abuse OF Klauprecht,

street, but not finding him at home, left word
with his wife that he would call again at two

was the writer of an article in that morn

his wife. Abers replied he was. Klau-
precht then told him that he must retract
it. Albers refused, and made an attempt to
leave the room by Il side door, when Mr.. X :,
stepped before him and said:
"You cannot go. You must take back the
slander or, | will shoot you" Albers again
refused, when Kluuprecht drew a revolver
and fired, taking effect near the rigIt should

entitled to. 1t may be convenient for them

BoRIHG FOR WATER.-They tell good
story of the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, which we do not know has been
published heretofore. His power before a
jury consists in very great degree, in the
ability to draw upon their feelings. He was
engaged in rather trivial case, aud as was
his custom when the thing was practicable,
he got the jury, and we don't know but
Court and.al to blubbcring, like so many
spanked children, and when he closed, there
was not doubt in the mind of any body
that he had his case. But old Gov. H.
happened TO be the opposing CONSUL He
arose and commenced the plea by saying;
"May it please the court,I do not in this case
propose to bore for ,catcr. 1.-THE tears Of his

the American Vegetarian Society was held
at the Chinese Assembly Rooms, New York,
on Wednesday evening. About fifty per-

favor of the vegetable diet, arguments to

niverous animal, and learned disquisitions
upon the srupe of the teeth, the formation
of the stomach, the powers of the digestive
organs, the merits ofvegetables and the de-
merits Of meat, were read to the assembled
fifty, apparently to their perfect satisfaction.

0~5-The English Commissioners on Emi-
grafton report that the total emigration from
Ireland in 1856 was 257,372, and that this
year it will be considerably Increased. An
other remarkable fact is, that this emigration
Is selt-sustained; in other words, it PAYS its
own expenses, at least so far as the United
states and Canada are concerned. The
commissioners state thut last year there was
e'ther remltted from America, or expended
Ior prepaid passages to America, by Irish set
tlers there, no less than 1880 900 to enable
neir friends ana relatives to follow them to
Weir adopted homes. The number of emf
