ANOTHER HoRRD DEED OF BLOOD-A DRUNKEN
HUSRAND KILLED WHILE WHIPPING HIS WTE-MTs-
TERIcrs AFFAR-About half past eleven O'Clock last
night an Irish laborer ramed Patrick Callahan who,
with his family. occupied miserable shanty at the
foot of Market street, below the mouth of Wolf
river while under the influence of liquor attempted
20 chastise his wife for some cause and commenced
beating her with a board. The screams of the wO-
man and curses Of the husband attracted some I'M
known person the spot who, it seems, lnterered,
-hen a struggle ensued between him and Callahan,
which terminated by the lstter's death at his
hands This morning Callahan's body was discov-
cred lying in the shanty beside that of his wife,
who seemed Supplied from liquor. Callahan was
but very slightly bruised in the encounter, and 1t Is
supposed that his death was produced by pistol
ball, which from appearances, had struck HIM IN
the side OF the mouth, passing through one OF the
lips and knocking out a tooth. Several OF the
neghbors who heard, but owing to the darkness did
not witness the struggle state that the voice OF
another man than Callahan was heard in the shSnty,
and that the report OF the pistol or whatever it was
sounded no louder than the bursting of a cap. The
weapon was, doubtless, air pistol. After quiet
had been restored some one left the spot very ra-
pidly and was lost in the gloom This is all which
could be obtained from the neghbors regarding the
affair and II Is quite probable no clue will ever be
had 10 the perpetrator of the deed An inquest was
held by Esquire Horne this morning who rendered
verdict in effect that Callahan met his death at
the hands Of some person or persons unknown

BOLD ArrENrT To GET A DREss.-On Saturday a
negro girl called at the store Of Messrs THOMPSON
Co., with an order purporting to be from lady of
this city for sundry articles, among which was a
dress worth SIS. The young gentleman to whom
the order was handed suspected that the order was
not genuine and inquiry satisfied him that he ought
not to send the articles An hour afterwards he met

the affair Ii is unfortunate that it did not occur to
the gentleman have the negro girl arrested, and
thus have traced the affair to its origin.
