ARRAY occurred in the grocery store OF p Leddy onhe
corner of Amity and Columbia streets, in which two
men, named Charles and james Mckinney (bro;hers),
were stabbed by two others, named James Harris and
John Doyle. 1t appears that Doyle counter
felt ten cen, piece from Leddy in exchange for some
purchases. He demanded good money when some
q, cry words were exchanged. Doyle left the store,
and soon returned in company with Harris. determined
to have satisfaction. The proprietor ordered him out
and the McGvneys, who were present. took hold Of
tho men and tried to eject them. In the struggle
which ensued both the brothers weIe stabbed and
the perpetrators seeing what they bad done, took to
fight. The wounded men were conveyed to the Long
Island College Hospital, where their injuries were ex-
smined by the resident surgeon Dr. p. c. Pesse who
found that Charles Mckinney had received thrust IN
the abdomen with knife. Several OF the intestlnee
were cut, and the evidences are that he will not long
survive. James Mckinney was found to be wounded
in two places on the thigh, the head and on the
righ, shoulder The injuries, though serious are not
considered of necessarily fatal character One OF tie
accused Harris was arrested his residence, in KEEL
sey's alley, by officers MCGUIRE and Burns, OF the
Third Precinct. The other Doyle was taken into Gus
'ody by officer Tuomey. They were locked op. Sur

lighted, in the poverty OF his mind. 10 dis
pay his great thick set person TO The most
advantage !; he was as vain as any :op,
without the affection of that character, tor
he was always blunt and free spoken, but,
as long he had enough 20 satisfy his van
ity. he cared nothing Tor mere wealth. He
had generosity, though, he neglected tie

body continued to be whirled round as be-
fore, for Hancheu did not dare 10 trust ap-

neIghbors all in the utmost CONSERVATION
and wonder al seeing the mill sails ia full
swing on Sunday, and still more SO when
they found the poor child laying bound on
the grass, who, however was too terrified
TO give any account OF what had happened
Hanchen in few words told all and
then her spirit, which had sustained her
through such a scene of terror, gave way
under The sense of safety and relief, and
she iell :aintive in their arms, and was with
much difficulty recovered. The machinery
OF the mill was al once stopped and the in.
animate ruffian dragged from his dreadful
prison. Heinrich, too, was brought forth
from the miller's chamber, and both were
in a short time sent bound under strong
escort, 10 Bonn, where they soon met the
reward of their crimes.
The history of this extraordinary act of
presence OF mind concludes by telling US
that Hanchen thus efectually cured of her
Penchant for her unworthy suitor, became
eventually the vile of the miIIer's eldest
son, and thus lived all her life in the scene
Of her great danger and happy Geliverance.
