! Hiram Wallbridgc, who is running against
Daniel Z. Sickles, as an Independent Demo-
crat for Congress, in the Third District of
New York 1.-THE lowest and hardest part of
the city, has published the notes of an agree
ment made between them two years ago, by

him the field then, as he did. The only a.
tentative of the agreement was, that Sicklcs

not undertaken to do. 1t is Il singular rcvc-

supposed the people have with the election

hibited in the town hall at Flensburg."

of the play, he aimed at his brother, and
= pulled the trigger, when it discharged, put
ting the whole load into the forehead Of
, Frank, who stood not more than two feet
from the muzzle of the gun. The horror
stricken brother caught the poor boy in hi;
arms, while the brains rapidly oozed from

half he was dead. Frank was very intel.
ligent and sprightly lad of about clever
years.
