On Saturday night about m o,clocL :
fight occurred at the tavern house. Of AJ,ss
q Martin, Triad lphia; in which Frodepick
Mass was killed and Mr.. Martin 50 bs5li,.
injured that he is not expected to survive
It appears that several large parties -
young men from the city were out tI,osn;Lo
sleigh riding, and. many of them were in
toxicated. There were two or three son
arate gangs congregated at Mass &, Mar
tins house. One man asked Mass for =
DIR nix and wasrefused. Immediately tum-
6lers and pitchers commenced flying, Mass
and Martin were knocked down and stab
bed and beaten with chairs. and the wo-
men of the house rushing into the midst
OF the fracas were beaten back with con-
siderable injury. The bruisers then left
the house, jumped into their sleighs and
drove away.
Upon picking Mr.. Mass up two long
knife wounds were discovered, either of
which would have proved fatal. He lived
but a short time. Martin is dangerously
cut and beaten us is one the women of the
house.
The sheriffs and sergeant's officers, ar
rested yesterday morning dozen or more
men and boys known to have been present.
Among these was Henry Baldwin to whom
suspicion particularly attached. At the
examination before Esquires Duty, Cots
and Wright several witnesses who were
present testified hut could not identify the
parties actively engaged in the fight.
Decision was reserved until the verdict of
the Coroner'sjury, now holding in Tria-
ldelphia, shall be made known.
p. S.-The examination before Coroner
Day has resulted in the commfttal of
Baldwin and young man named Basset
Mountz, who has heretofore borne good
character. The evidence and the circum-
stances show that other parties not yet ar
rested are implicated in this most outra-

lady who dealt out the delightful article to
us was all smiles, and like IL fool we ven
tured on getting better acquainted The
result of our acquaintance was-shc made
us buy piece of sponge cake-rightly
named for which we dishursed another
qu"rter-a lemonade, twenty-five cents;
two tarts, ten cents each; one cup of coffee,
quarter; one oyster stew, the same. At
ter putting these viands out of sight. we
turned to leave, when the fair dispenser of
cuisines ingeniously remarked that We had
not made supper. We informed her
modestly, that our capacity would admit
of no more. She smiled and We left for

m-AccIDENr on THE HEMpFIELD.-On
Saturday morning an accident occurred in
the morning train from Washington, near
the tunnel, short distance east of the
city. The train was coming this way at n
moderate speed, pushing ahead two coal
cars An accumulation of ice on the
track threw the coal cars off, and the en-
CINE coming suddenly upon them COM
pletely demolished the two cars and pro-
duced a hard looking wreck. Mr. James
Ncriner, brakeman. became entangled
in the broken timbers, and when released it
was discovered that his foot was Shocking
ly bruised and cut. The foot was cut open
in two or three places, and Drs. Frisscl
and Cummins, who were called in, feared
that amPutation would be necessary.

E9-A NEW KIND OF DRoP GAME.-A
man whose name is unknown, was sudden
ly attacked with fit a day or two ago, on
the National Road some distance west of
the city. The people of the neighborhood
ran to his relief lie was picked up, ia
ken into the nearest house and every at
tention was paid to him. Upon recover
ing sufficiently, he informed his sympathi-
scrs that he was out of money-llad been
to Pixies Peak, and was returning to his
home in Pennsylvania to die. The people
contributed literally, and the next morn
ing procured him seat in carriage COM
ing to this city; bid him a good bye and a
God speed. It may we'll be Supposed that
these generous people were somewhat sur
prised when they heard. on Saturday last,
that this same invalid gentleman, who was
so anxious TO die on his native soil, had
dropped down, only the day before he ap-
pealed to their sympathies, at point fur
Their west on the road, and had met with
t0lerable success, by telling doleful story
of want and restitution. We should
not wonder if this fellow has "fopped'
down at every village along his route
The game played by our subject, is not
altogether original, but it is new here, and
II well acted, is calculated to deceive men
through their best feelings.
