BRUTAL AssAuLr.-We regret to chron-
icle another of those cases of violence that
so otter. occur IN our midst. A China
man. pursuing al honest business, was
most fatally injured by a white man in a
state Of intoxication. with no real or APP
e n provocation whatever. From the
bes, information we can receive, it appears
that the mar suspicioned Of the crime left
the boarding house Of Mrs. Striker, for
the purpose Of getting his clothes from the
wash-house. Two houses Of this descrip-
ton are located, the one to the right. the
other to the left Of Mrs. Strikers. Mis-
taking the house, he presented his ticket
and demanded his clothes. John looked
at the ticket, and then told him it was at
the other house where i, belonged. Some
words passed, the result, Of which was
that the white man seized a smoothing
iron and stove-in the skull OF the China
man. The wound was represented as be-
ing Of q horrible character. Doctors No
Means and CASTOR were Immediately
called in, and rendered all the assistance
tina, their scientific skill could afford. To
the surprise Of all, the Chinaman still
lives. The man suspicioned Of the crime
has no, as yet been found. and probably
never will be.

Three hundred blows per minute can be
