Ircgret am called upon to record another
murder, making the third which has taken
place in the city during the past two months.
The victim was Peter Mccormick, an Irish citi-
zen Of this city, his antagooiBs was unfortunately
an American, named Cbamplin. The facts OF
the case, as near as can be ascertained, and
which resulted in the desth of Mccormick, are
these: Last Saturday evening both parties
were a. a German drinking saloon in Market
street, when some dispute arose between them;
Mccormick in the dispute struck Champlin
heavy blow with his fist, the latter Immediately
left the house and soon returned prepared for
revenge upon his ASIA liant Cbamplin drew
from bis sheath o bowie knife and com lete'y
cut his adversary to pieces, intlictiDg nine hor-
rible cuts upon his person any one of which
would have undoubtedly produced fatal 70

died. He was buried next day the irish tnrned

York, but one larger funeral procession, and
that was that Of The killed 6remen at the Broad
