| YOU'VE VILLAINY At Detroit, Michigan,
on Monday last, young black scoundrel, only
nine years of age, who had just served sixty
days sentence in jail for stealing, encountered
the little son of Mr.. VIM. Drew, aged some three
or four years, and told the little fellow to hold
up his head, and he would cut it off for him.
! Of course the child did not know the meaning
OF the proposition, but held up his head as he
was bid, whereupon the young scoundrel drew
his knife across the side of his neck, from the
windpipe back to the ear, in1icting cash about
four inches in length! Fortunately the knife
was dull, or the consequences might have been
fatal. AS it was, a severe wound was made,
which bled profusely but the main arteries was
not reached and the child's life will be readily
saved. 1t is supposed the black boy did the
deed out of pure mischief He was sent to the
House Of Correction till he shall be twenty -one
