A stabbing affair occurred at Tecumseh two days

ton in the head with bowie knife. The wound is
severe but luckily will not prove fatal A Pro-
Slavery man named Adams had threatened to shoot
Mr.. BoyntOn; had even raised bis gun to do IT..
Mr.. Btynton took Adams before bogus Justice or
Commissioner, after having got writ against him
from a milk and water Commissioner, with the ut
most difficulty. On investigation the case was so
pain against Adams that be was required to give
bonds to keep the peace, but they also compelled
Boynfon to do the came, although there had been
no testimony duplicating him. Some alteration
having ensued, Attorney Newsome drew knife and
made deperate stab at Boyntons head. Before
ne 'etuld repeat 1t Boynton knocked him down,
when their friends tore each party away. The
wound inflicted is dreadful cash along the head and
temple.
