Dreadful Tragedy-James C. Hall. late
Postmaster, Shot.

Yesterday evening, about dusk, James c.
Hall, Esq, and DIR. +. W. Ames, met on the
northeast corner Of Fourth street and Broad
way, and as they passed DR.. Ames. as we
are credibly informed, applied to Mr.. Hal, a
vile epithet coupled with an OATH Mr.. Hall
stopped and demanded what was meant by
the offensive language, and was told ust
what was said" At this DR.. Ames directed
a blow at Mr.. Hall with a sheathed sword
cane. Mr.. Hall caught the sheath part of
the cane, and as the sword was drawn recei-
we'd cut across the nose. He then caught
the sword d in one hand, and with the other
dealt his antagonist severe blow in the face.
DR.. Ames then drew pistol and fred at Mr..
Hall, woundinG him seriously. Replacing the
discharged weapon in his pocket, he drew an.
other, and Mr. Hall. being entirely unarmed
retreated and sought protection in the resi-.
dence, Of Mrs Glasgow. Another shot wa:
fred, which struck in the door.
Mr.. Hall was conveyed to bis residence, and
several eminent physicians called, who pro-
nounced his wound exceedingly dangerous.
| Dr. Ames went into his residence which is
next door east of Mr. Halls, and reloadng

arrested and conveyed ia the Station House,
where he was secured, and though any

A Big JumD.

Dick Tintoe, the Paris correspondent of the
N Y. Times, gives the following account Of
the latest curiosity sharpener which has in
vented for Parisans.
The feat of jumping from a balloon, the
jumper sustained by an Indian-rubber rope,
was duly performed on thursday. 1t was
the most stupendous exhibition of daring and
address that the Parisians have yet been per-
mitted to witness. From out side of the car
of the balloon hung the India-rubber cord, de-
cendng 15O feet, and then returning and
being fasteHed to the other side of the car.
1t thus formed stong loop, The athlete was
dressed as Mercury. his body, from neck to
the small of his back, was enclosed in frame
work which enable him to endure the sus pom
sion without wrenching or dislocation. The
rope passed through an eyelet in the middle
Of the back, place so that he was held in per-
feet equlibrium.-When the balloon had
reached an altitude double that of the sup
posed elasticity of the cord, the voltigeur ap-
peared on the edge of the car, looked over,
shut his eyes, and dove off into the space.
The eyelet slipped along the roa,, 50 that tho

in two seconds. After having attained its
lowest point, the rope contracted once, per-
haps 200 feet, and then deocnded again.
There was no farther rebound and no oscil-
aiion; the ,oltgeur lay calmly cradIed in
mid air. and probably spent the leisure lie
was now permitted to enjoy in recovering lis
breath and contemplating the prospect. The

Shopping.

She stood beside the courter,
The day he'll ne'er forget.
She thought the muslin dcarer
Than any she had seen yet;
He watched her playful fingers
The silks and satins toss.
The clerk looked quite uneasy,
And nodded at the boss.
"Sbow me some velvet ribbon,
Baregc and satin turks"
She said, Il want TO purchase !"
Then gave the goods a jerk;
Tho clerk was all obedience,

At length with hesitation.
She bought a yard Of tape.
