FRIGHTFUL OccURREEcE.--On Friday
n ght, the l4lh, Henry Haydock of the firm
of Havdock, Evans & Co., Druggists in
New York, had occasion to 90 in the fourth
story of the store, where he discovered a
negro secreted, and demanded what hcwaut
ed. The latter answered that he had been
locked IN. Mr.. Haydock then stepped aside
10 let the rascal go, when he was knocked
down by the ruffian, who, placing his knee
upon his breast, cut Mr.. HIS throat with a
knife. Thinking. probably, that he had dis.
patched him, the negro ran immediately down
stairs, and escaped. The wound inflicted was
severe but did not have the effect intended.
However, it may yet prove fatal. .ss
