On the evening of the Goth December, q

SMITH, on very slight provocation, deliber-
ately shot stage driver named Albert Put
nam, through the side, inhicting danger
Gus wound. The wounded man is still lying
in very precarious situation.
As gambler. Fanny was VIGOROUSLY
reckless-sitting a whole night at faro
table, imbibing copious draughts Of strong
liquor, and betting hundreds Of dollars upon
the game This she was abundantly able
to do, as her fortune is pronounced by those
who have some knowledge of the matter, to
have been little, if any, less than hun
dred thousand dollars previous TO the fire
At the present it cannot be less than half
that amount On such occasions, in the
earlier history of the State, her belt was
garnished with u revolver and bowie-knifc,
whose threatening aspect was believed to be
of no idle or merely braggadocio import ;
and the result has proven that she knew how
to use, as well as to display. such weap-
ons
She is the mother OF several children, for
whom she has always manifested the liveli-
est solicitude; and on the night Of the TRACE
dy for which she was arrested, enquired ca
gerly, while in the hands Of the police Off
