beset in cowardly manner, by a band of assas ,

well known as reckless desperadoes, that to the
community at large, the injuries they have re.
ceived seem something like ust retribu tion. The
feud between the two factions of cruisers headed
respectively by Morrissey, the Irish puESt, and
Bill Poole, has now been in full blast for several
months, and firearms have been used more than
once by the belligerents, during its progress.

The exposure of this extraordinary state Of
affairs, however calculated to mortty and e1rs-

scarcely astonish those who have observed the

the price the democratic party have paid for the

perhaps, foreigners have been made the dupes of

an imposing appearance. The Wing says this
building in its interior arrangents will eclipse
even the st, Nicholas in New York. whilst in

present building only forms little more than
third of the whole design-two wings, to COM

REvERsgS OF LIFE.-Mrs. Flood, well
known in Arundel, and formerly landla-
DIV of the Norfolk Arms Hotel there, died
in the workhouse last week. She was
brought up respectfully and twice mar
ried She lived at the Norfolk Hotel for
a great many years, and was much re-
spected, possessing some considerable
abilities particularly in forming pictures
from the wings Of insects, for which she
acquired local reputation. This was
. pet pursuit, and on most days in the
summer she was driven out in a gig, and
employed her time in catching insects
to follow out her favorite anus, ments
At the time Mrs. Flood kept the Nor
folk Hotel there were about forty pairs of
post horses standing in the stable. This
was before the railway passed by Arun-
del, and as Arundel was The only thor
oughfare between Portsmouth and Brigh-
ton, considerable business was done at
this hotel. She had accumulated mu-
scum at the hotel at one time, including
many articles entirely of her own work.
Becoming embarrassed in circumstances
she was compelled to sell the whole,
and being gradually further reduced,
and deserted by her husband, she applied
for parish relief. She had been an in
mate of the work-house for nearly six
years up to the time of her death, and
was 81 years of age.-West SUSSEX Eng.
