STABBING AFFRAY.-A few days ago
stabbing affray occurred at Rough
and Ready between B. Nashan and
NJ. Kosminsky, both sons of Israel,
and clothing dealers, which if not for
the timely interference of neighbors
might have proved fatal to the latter
1t appears that the two went up to Ne
vada, shortly after the fire, where they
met a friend who lost his all by the con-
migration. N, anxious to profer pecu.
mary assistance, but not having any
money with him, asked X. whether he
had any funds, upon which the latter
drew his purse, with the remark to take
whatever he wanted This n. de-
clined, and ordered X. to give the needy
one whatsoever he (K.) thought proper.
X. then took S24 and handed it to the
destitute. Nothing more was said about
it until the morning when he asked n.
for the half of the loaned $24, he (K.)
being willing himself to contribute S12
towards the good work. A quarrel en-
sued here, and N. denied owing him
anything, under the plea that he ex-
pended a similar amount to different per-
sons afterwards, to which he thought K.
ought to contribute his equal share.
The latter, however, not entertaining
such generous view of the matter,
walked up to N. in a friendly manner,
placed his hand upon his shoulder, and
asked him whether that was fair, upon
which the latter made a thrust at X.
with knife, who, trying to arrest the
assailant's hand, received severe cash
in the palm of his hand. Were it not
for the interference of neighbors at this
stage of the affair the consequences
might have proved severe, if not fatal
to kosminsky, as Nathan, who was the
hero of a similar affair in Grass Valley,
not long since. is very passionate, if
not dangerous man. Officer Armstrong
arrested him Immediately, but A. having
prayed for continuance of 2 days, un-
der the State statute, he Mas discharged
under 5000 bonds.

"A military UlHCer, Win WnOm we nave
long been intimate, relates two incl
dents connected with Groghan's gallant
defence of Fort Stevenson; one of which
affords strong positive proof, and the
other equally as strong negative proof
ofthe adage, fortune favors the brave"
AS the British and Indians, in their
operations, had violated their pledges
and the usage of civilized warfare by
wantonly numbering their prisoners,
Croghan's little band (only numbering
one hundred strong with six-pounder,
and surrounded by about six hundred
Indians) had naturally agreed to sell
their lives as dearly as possible.
When all was ready the British COM
mander sent messenger, under flag
of truce, to treat for the surrender of
the fort Croaghan pointing to him as
he approached, exclaimed:
at will not do to let him enter here
and see our weakness; who will yolun-
teer to meet him?"
As it was pretty certain that whoever
should leave the fort, on such mission,
would be murdered by the bastard foe,
there was brief pause, Mhen ensign
Shipp replied.
81 will, upon one condition.
"What is that" asked the captain.
"Pledge me your word, as an officer
and man of honor, that you will keep
that gun bearing directly upon me, and
that you will fire it off the moment you
see me raise my hand
The pledge was given, and Shipp
went forth
To all the arguments and persuasions
of the enemy his unwavering reply was:
81 am instructed to say thatwe defend
the fort'
Soon the Indians began to surround
him. One clutched his epaulets, ano-
ther his sword. Shipp who was of her.
culean frame, released himselfby a pow
erful effort, and turning to the envoy,
cody said
"Sir, l have not placed myself under
the protection of your truce without
knowing your mode of warfare. You
see that gun, said he, pointing to their
solitary six-pounder, it is well charged
with grape, and have the solemn pledge
of my commander that it shall be fired
the moment l give him the signal
Therefore restrain these men and res
pect the laws of war, or You shall in
stantly accompany me to the other
world.
Twas enough. Shipp was no more
molested, but returned to his comrades
in safety, fought out the desperate ac-
ton that ensued, and obtained promotion
for his bravery.
The counter instance referred to at
the head of our paragraph was told as
follows:
After the British and Indians had
withdrawn, Croghan missed one man.
only one, who had belonged to his little
band, and all efforts for his recovery
were for some time unsuccessful. At
length his remains were discovered in
the garret of one Of the block houses,
where he had crept for safety, and was
cut in two by cannon ball.
All the rest considering their chances
for life not worthy thought, had only
sought to do their duty, and escaped
alive from perhaps the most desperate
fight on record. The only man that
was killed happened to be the one that
proved himself a coward.

Growing Cid Together.

You have promised that through life
We shall journey heart united,
Husband fond, and faithful wife,
And trust the vow thus phghted.
Hand in hand, and side by side,
Through hfe's storms and sunny weather,
We will our own fortune bide,
And at last grow old together.
What if tines unsparing wing
OF some pleasures has bereft us?
Let us not by murmuring
Lose the many that are left us.
What though youth and bloom depart,
Swift as birds Of lightest feather?
Why repine with feeble heart,
Shall we not grow old together?
Few, inJcel, have been our years,
Yet enough our hearts to bind, love,
And to show how many tears
In Lies brightest cup we find, lovcl
Since in our united Youth,
We two sported on the heather,
Dearest it is meet in truth,
That we should grow old together.

Truly a Hard Case.

ODE Stevens, formerly the eccentric rep
resentative in the assembly from Steuben,
who now keeps hotel in Hornesville, tells a
very good story at the expense of our Ere
mont friends
Not long since, a very good looking young
woman stopped at Obe's house and called for
a room, saving chat her husband would call
shortly, when she wished him TO be shown
up.
Soon after burly dapdifed "a colored pus-
sum called, and inquired for his wife. Obe
told him she could not have stopped there, as
there was only one female guest in the house
and she was a fine looking white lady
sDat's her-dats her." said the sable
dandy
ODE thought there must be some mistake,
so he went to the lady's room and informed
her that a cussed niger" was down below
who claimed to be her husband She quietly
informed him that the colored gemm'n was
in reality her husband and she wished to see
him sent up to her room.
1.-The d-li" exclaimed Obe, with aston
ishment; . is it possible that as good look.
inc woman as you would marry nigger?'
She assured him that it was fact, and
added :
II married much better than my sister die
after all"
You didl' responded Obe; who in thun

gust. - she's married 10 Fremont man -

EfEe's Sunny Spots.

Though Life's dark and thorny path,
Its goal the silent tomb,
1t yet some spots of sunshine hath,
Th smile amid the gloom.
The friend who veal and woe partakes,
Unchanged whate'er islot,
Who kindly soothes the heart that aches,
Is, sure, a sunny spot,
r. e wife wi o half cur burden shares,
And utters not moan;
Whose ready hand wipes off our tears
Unheedcd all her own;
Who treasures every kindly word,
Each harsher one forgot,
And carols blythely as bird,
She's tco sunny spot
The child who lifts at morn and eve,
In prayer its tiny voice;
Who grieves whene'er its parents grieVe,
And joys when they rejoice;
In whose bright eye yopng genius glows;
Whose heart, without blot.
Is fresh and pure as summers rose;
That child's sunny spot.
There's yet, upon Life's weary road,
One spot of brighter glow;
Where sorrow half forgets its load,
And tears no longer flow
Friendship may wither, love decline,
Our child his honor blot,
But still undmmed that spot will shine
Religion lights that spot!
