COULDN'T STAND FIRE.-Jenny Lind-not the
Swedish Nightingale, but one of the frail sister
hood 30 called-bas located herself in that fash
iona6ls part Of the town, the west end With
dence in retired part Of the First Ward, near
the Observatory. Yet the neighborhood 10 toll
erab'y lively, as will readily be believed when
we state thatit is In the vicinity Of the Govern
ment mess-house, stock-yzrds &c.
Yesterday morning, two soldiers entered her
house, and were rather too noisy to suit her ideas
ofpropriety. She ordered them out, but they re-.
fused 70 go, when she took a gun and pointing at
them threatened TO shoot A young girl, one Of
the hands Of heroic Jenny, and the soldiers, who
were not afraid Of a woman, not they, became
more uproarious than ever. They thought the
gun was all makebeleve. Jenny couldn't see 1t,
not in that light. She ran upstairs, brought
down a six shooter In her hand and as she en-
tered the door fred Abullet passed between the
still on the trigger; rather doubtfuly they took
step In advance; bang went another barrel, the
bullet just grazing the whiskers Of one fellow,
when both abruptly turned, and lncontinentally
fed. Jenny gave them a parting round they
vanished, and the ball this time passed through
the coat tail. Of the hindnost man. From the
position Of the wound In the aforesaid coattails
Ills apparent that when that ball passed through
them they must have been horizontally projected
by the rapid retreat Of the wearer.
