of hilarity existing above and below. Dur
ing the drinking, Jimmy" was heard to say,
two or three times, that he would "shoot any
id son of bitch who would refuse to drink
with him." 1t was also observed that he and
Ross had had some pretty hard words to

Ross standing leaning on one end of the

In few moments, he presented himself at the
door, partly opened it with one hand, and
struck Ross in the back with the other in
which he held large knife. He then made
another pass at him, and turned and ran. The
first blow cut the left lung, but the last in

exclaimed that Ross was cut, and, while some
of the persons present took hold of the woun-
ded man, turned him over and stripped off
his clothes in order to see the wound, others
went in pursuit of the would be.murderer.-
Thinking he would go to the stable to get
horse, Mr.. Phillips and others proceeded thi-
ther, and found him making ready TO obtain
horse. He struck at the light in Phillips
hand endeavoring to put it out, and failing
in doing so, then aimed blow at him with
his knife Phillips lodged, and said Jim
my, don't you cut me-" "Well then," re-
piled the scoundrel, "let me get horse, or
'ciH cut YOU Phillips resolutely told him
he could not have horse, and by this time,
some one came running to the slable with a
double-barreled shot gun, while some one
else exclaimed "shoot him." Jimmy, seeing,
this, went around behind the stable and
wrapping himself up in some blankets, fell
asleep He was found in this position, arres-
ted, and in the morning taken to the Oroville
Jail, where he now is, Directly after the
cutting, messenger was sent for DR.. Will

The FAsHIoNs.-Our fashionable ladies be-
gin to promenade Chesnut street, and by rea-
son of the richness of their dresses and ele-
CANT contrasts presented in colors make a
splendid appearance The bonnets are still
worn small but with large quantity of snowy
trimming upon them. Queen Crinoline reigns
supreme ali efforts to circumseribe her hav-
ing been fruitless. The cloak mostly worn
is composed of alternate stripes of moire an
tique and plain taffets. Crochet shawls are
becoming quite fashionable. They are of
every conceivable color-white middles with
colored borders, and colored middles with
white borders, then dark middes with bright
borders One advantage of these shawls is,
that young ladies who have not much to do
can make them. As crotcheting is easy
learned, and many small children do it here
The shawls are of course only fit for the
spring and fall.-Philadslphia cor. Of Alta.

C8-It is no secret in literary circles, says
an Atlantic paper that Oliver Wendell
Holmes the poet, is author of the articles in
the Atlantic Monthly, entitled The Autocrat
of the Breakfast Table. They are now being
collected into one volume, with illustrations
by Hoppin. A more acceptable book of the
kind we do not know A little bird has
whispered into our ear that "the Autocrat"
has only retired from The Breakfast Table"
to change his costume. He will shortly re
appear in another character, in which, we
dare say, he viii be as brilliant, and original,
and thoughtful as ever.

A MIXED-UP LAWSUIT.

An exchange paper tells of "mixed-up
lawsuit" which came off 10 Vermont last fall.
1t seems that Smith shot rabid dog that
was trespassing on bis lot, and belonging to
one Davidson. Dog ran into the road and
frightened horse belonging to one Shn'
felt. Shufelt's horse ran away, upset wa
gou, and broke leg belonging to W. II: Pat
terson. The question now is, who shall Fat
terson sue for damages-Smith, Shutelt. or
Davidson? As Smith bad caused the acct
dent, Shufelt allows that Smith should foot
the bill. Smiths counsel objects to this by
saying that Smitbrwas doinga lawful act IN
q lawful manner, and that, as the horse was
frightened by the dog, the owner of the dog
(DavidsoD) should pay the damages. David
sons lawyer claims, on the contrary. that be
is not holden, because the dog was not mad;
and, if he were mad, he would not have
frightened the horse, had Smith attended 10
bis OWE business and let the deg alone -
How the question will come out will be
known in June. when the Courtsits.
