The deceased served in the hundred day

Company in the capture of Mobile, after whicl,
he was taken sick, and removed to hospital at
New Orleans, and from thence to Madison.
He returned home only few days since to die
among his parents and friends.
WILLIE WoODIy, as he was familiarly called
was the beloved Of his friends and the idol Of
his parents. He had nearly completed the
period Of LIS minority, and had almost reached
that period Of life so largely and impatiently
waited for by every youthful aspirunt for the
conflicts and successes oflife. But . mysterious
Providence had ordained that no should never
realize the glowing hopes of his youth The
Destroyer marked him for his own. and human
skill nor earthly power could avert the blow
Frank in disposition, and manly in department,
he readily won the confidence and esteem or all
who knew him, and hs friends are called to
mourn in him the loss Of an afcctionatc son, n
kind brother, and generous companion.

"The primary cause Of lie trouble
seems to have been an assault made up
on one their nnmoer on Tuesday, and this
raid was made orgsnsibly for the purpose
Of furnishing the offender. The raiders
were organized into two squads, and
marched round cur streets for some time
iostling our citizens from the sidewalks,
blandisling their revolvers and bIly., and
looking generally as though they were
"spoiIing for fight" Failing to excite
our citzeus into ary indiscrelion which

within their reach, using their weapons
upon the unarmed and unprepared deni

cowardly manner. Among those of our
people who were thus maltreated, whose
names we have learned, John CAMPBELL,

Desperate and Terrible Affair in Chi
cagO.
From the Chicago Journal Of

From the Chicago Journal of Tuesday, !
A terrible affair occurred near the Post
office this afternoon, a woman having been
stabbed six timesby another woman, so
feartully as TO leave little or no hope Of
her recovery. The facts are briefly as fol-
lows:
Miss Amelia Frauste6, Young woman
not over twenty FIVE years of age, was pas
ing along upon the sidewalk in front Of
Reynolds Block, just north of the Posof-
flee, when she was accosted BY Mrs. Ter
hume, wife of Matthias, Terhune, who
resides at 229 North Wo,cot, street, and
carries on show case manufactory al No.
63 Deal born street Mrs. Terhune request
ns an opportunity TO spssk with Miss
FraHsted in private The latter scced
ed to the request and accompanied the
former up stairs into the second story of
Reynolds block. As soon "a they reach
ed the public corridor, Mrs. Terhune drew
knife and stabbed Miss Frans,ed, follow
ing up her work with bIoodthirsty fury,
cutting, slashng and stabbing till her vie
tim fell headlong down the stairs aud ou,
upon ths sidewalk, where she was picked
up by the passers by and conveyed into
drug store.
Meanwhile Mrs. Terhune quietly but
rapidly retreated by way of the Madison
street entrance, unobserve1 bv the crowd
that gathered about the bleeding woman,
at the Dearborn street entrance to the
building.
Tie wounded woman, scarcely aLe TO
articuate, was carried mp stairs to Dr..
Reynolds Office. The first blow strucl;
into the left eye, entirely destroying that
organ, and terribly mutilating tbs eyelids,
Another stab directed 1T tic neck entered
the throat at its base Another about two
Inches higher, and directed in front, pierc.
ed the windpipe through and through
pen ,trating far back 10 the neck Anoth-
er blow with the knife inflicted long,
CHASTITY cash under the left cheek, la, ing
bare the jaw bone, while upon the left
shoulder there are two other similar
wounds. The physicians state that there
q very little probability that the woman
will recover.
From an occasional word or two, drop
ped at intervals by the mutilated woman,
we learn that the ASSAULT was prompted by
jealousy. She states that Mrs. Terhune
has been jealous Of her for long time,
| but whether with or without cause. was
not stated. She has resided with the Ter.
hume family. she states, and Mrs. Terhuue
was always jealous Of Mr.. Terhuno's atten-
tiuns.
Miss Fransted was, Just previous TO the
encounter. boarding at Nc. $50 State
street. She hsa sister 10 Cleveland
where she formerly resi- ded, and bas a
married sister, Mrs. Captain Henry Bush
in La Sale, Illinois. She says she has 20
relations or friends in Chicago.
