ANOTHER Yesterday eve
ming, as we were passing down First
Street, on business. we were met by a
young man who informed us that he had
just received intelligence of a tragedy that
had occurred on Main Street. near Third;
that a difficulty had arisen between Jo-
seph Overall and Clay Stinson, in which
the former had been seriously, and per-
haps fatally, injured. Afterwards we
learned from parties who had visited Over
all that he had been knocked down in his
own house, and severely but not fatally
Injured, and that upon inquiry being
made he declined to say who struck him.
All that could be learned of the matter
was from an old man who was whitewash-
ing in the house, who said Overall and an
other man had walked through the room
where he was at work, and moment af-
forwards he found Overall lying on the
floor bleeding profusely, and with an ugly
cash in his head. We presume the affair
will undergo judicial investigation, when
all the facts will be fully developed.

A CONTEST WITH A CooN.-Our Jolly
friend, k, who is a devoted disciple
of Nimrod, RELATED to us Monday little
incident of rather singular character,
and somewhat o.: of the usual nature of
things. AS he was hunting, some time
since, on Green River, he saw a squirrel
run up,a tree, and he fastened to get shot
at it. For time he wasunable to discover
any thing on the tree, but at length his eye
lit upon an object that looked like the tail
OF squirrel, and he fired at it, but nothing
moved. At the same time, he saw squir-
rel on another tree and fastened to Kill IL.
AS he was reloading, he heard crash be-
hind him, and looking around saw large
object falling from the tree into which he
had at first shot. fastening to the spot
he discovered that it was large cid coon
which he had wounded by a random shot.
He tried to kick it and break its nesk as It
was making of, when the animal mad
dened with pain, seized him by the toe OF
the boot, driving his long teeth entirely
through the heavy leather, but fortu-
nately missing the foot. K--7 kicked the
warmth off with all possible dispatch,
and, seizing a club, quickly dispatched
him. He was an immense old he one, and
displayed viciousness that our friend
k says was never witnessed by the old
est hunters. s&3fs@ sfE fsI9l&

tie and in his hurry ran into the canal and
had to swim for his life. His story was
well told, but did not serve to convince
His Honor, the Recorder. Not having
any money, as he averred, he was commit
ted. He said he was no relation of the
Hughes in this city. He was from the
North, they from the South of Ireland. and
besides he did not know any one in this
