A SITUATION.

Two young officers were travelling in the far
west, when they stopped TO take supper at a
small roadside tavern, kept by very rough
Yankee woman. The lady, i'll calico sun-bon-
net and bare feet, stood at the head of the table
to pour out. She inquired of her guests ''if
they CHOOSE long sweetening or short sweeten-
ing that "leng sweetening' meant large por-
ton of that article, chose it accordingly. What
was his dismay when he saw their hostess dip
her finger deep down into an earthen jar OF
honey that stood near her. and then stir it, (the
fnger) round in the coffee. His companion
seeing this, preferred "short sweetening;' upon
which the woman picked up a large lump OF
maple sugar that lay in brown paper on the
floor beside her, and biting of pisOe put ii in
to his cup Both the gentlemen dispensed will
coffee that evening. This snecdote we heard
from the sister Of one Of those OfficerS.-Mis.

Scene Of Poverty, Drunkenness, Starvation and
Misery.

Yesterday we were invited by kind
hearted philanthropist, to visit Thatcher
court. We found there small old wood
en- building, one story under ground and
one story and an attic above ground. The
basement story is divided into three apart
ments, the first story in four, and the attic
into the same number. In each OF the
rooms above ground, we found a family,
all in miserable condition. We visited q
family who occupied one of the upper
rooms. Hero we found pan, his wife and
two children, lodged. This little room,
which is Just about twice the size Of com
mon bedstead, we found in the most filthy
state. The man and woman were both
drunk, and have tsen so most of the time
for the last three weeks. The bed which
accommodated the four was a bundle Of
rags in most shocking condition.
No furniture, excepting the bed, of any
kind was to be seen, but we learned that
the family had right to cook in one OF
the basements-when they had anything
TO cook-wIiere they had a chair and part
lof liable. An empty bottle, which had
contained spirits, was standing near the
father of this miserable family. The chill
dren had no food during the day, and they
said they were starving. A little girl -four
years old and little boy of two years were
the unfortunate children of this couple
Our companion kindly remonsh ated with
the burly, hearty looking drunkard and his
miserable looking wife, but it did no good
They appeared lost to shame and the will
ling victims to their appe,i;es. The Oldest
of the children was then taken to a shop
near by, and some food purchased for hGI
and her little brother. She took tho food
home, and as soon as she entered the house
her father robbed his starring children o.
the food thus gireR to them and ate IL him

RUN AGAIN AT WORK Horrible Array aud prObu
he Hnrder,

About two o'clock, p. NJ, on Friday, one
of the most bloody afIrsvs that has occurred
in our city for some ysars took place at Q
Lager Beer Hall in the Atheneum build
lings, kept by Augustus Leusselar. The
following are the particulars Of the sad af-
fair: Shortly before the hour above men.
toned, party of seven persons, nearly all
lot whom weres intoxicated, entered tie
Lager Rsor Hall referred to. and had come
drink. After stopping some time, four of
the party lett The house, having first paid
ior the liquor which had been used during
their stay. The three who remained had
more beer, which, on leaving, they refused
TO pay for The bar-keeper, German,
named Francis Kellerman, quietly told
them that they should settle for what they
had in, but instead of doing so, the party
amused themselves by hurling the glasses
from which they had been drinking against
the wall, and creating general fuss in the
bar-room. kellerman, demonstrating with
them on the improperly of their conduct,
was seized by the haii by one of the party.
and held across the counter whilst another
Iof his assaants stabbed him in the back.
He Immediately called Leuss!er, who came
from room convenient to his assistance,
but he had scarcely made his appearance at
the door leading 10 the bar-room, when he
was stabbed by Porter in the side. After
receiving the wound he fell into the arms
OF by-stander named Ferdinand Kaiser,
lexclaiming as he did so, "call my wife call
my wife I'm dyingp Whilst in this POI
siton he was stabbed in the abdomen, and
Kaiser, in endeavoring to defend him, also
received severe cut in the head. The bar
keeper too, Notwithstanding that he had
already been cut, ran TO Leussler's assis-
tance, and in doing so received two addi-
| tional wounds-one on the head and the
other on the left breast. The alarm being
given by Kaiser, the party Ian away, but
two of them, Frank Porter and George
Lewis, were shortly afterwards arrested by
officers. Hague and Rice, lodged them in
the tombS for examination this morning by
the Mayer. Gallaher, the other person
concerned in the afiray, is still at large.
Leussler was conveyed TO his residence on
Smthfeld street, where his wounds were
dressed by Drs. Walter and Gross, but as
one Of the unfortunate mans lungs was
perforated by the knife, his recovery is con-
sidered impossible. Kelsrman, though
badly wounded will recover. He is now
lying at the house where he received his
injuries. This affair, which is one of the
most serious that has occurred among US
for some time, caused the greatest excite
ment in the quarter of the city where it
took place, so that the house was crowded
by hundreds of persons anxious to hear
the particulars of the encounter. A blade
Of knife covered with blood was found
on the floor Of the bar-room; the walls Of
this apartment too, were all bespattered
with blood, so that alter the occurrence, it
looked more like a slaughter house, than
anything else to which we compare ill.,
