H EVENING NEWS.

Massey, and residing near the veranda
House, lower Gold Hill, had been guilty
of a breach of the peace. Marshal Bee
gan dispatched officer Hamlin to see
what the difficulty a Mr.. Mathews,
one Of the complaining witnesses, &C
c%ompanied the officer to show him where
the man lived, and on arriving at the
house, officer Hamlin found Massey lying
on the floor drunk and asleep. He st
once proceeded TO awaken him and told
him to go with him. Massey put on his
Goa and started off quietly, but when
he arrived at the door, he saw Mathews
and swore he would not go. Hamlin
told him he must, and at the same time
took hold Of him, when a spirited russell
ensued and Mathews, instead of lend
ing assistance left. Massey called TO his
wife TO bring him his pistol, which she
started to do, but before she could get
il Hamlin let his mar 60 and seized the
woman. Finding it impossible to take the
man alone, be left the house, bringing
with him the pistol. When a short
distance from the house and near to
nhIIueNh, VINO was "nAhlIk AAU
Massey called out for Hamlin to drop
the pistol, and at nearly the same mo-
ment he fred AZ the officer with a
double-bsrreled gun, but missed him,
two Of the shot taking effect on Msth-
ews, one in the leg and the other in the
neck. As soon "a the officer could get
up own be reported the state Of affairs,
and Marshal Began and officer Gould
started down. We followed as soon as
we heard Of it, and got in sight just in
time TO see Massey so over the hill
back Of his house. As the officers went
in at the front Of the house he ven out
at the back door and ran over the hill,
entirely escaping their notice. His wife
gave vent to the most abusive language
at the officers, aud showed more the
spirit Of a termagant than 3 woman.
Massey has been engaged in a number
OF shooting .crapes before. Some lively
times may be expected this evening.
p. S. Since the above WAS in type, Mas
sew has been arrested, and is o in the
~station-house. He will have Al exam
~inatiou before Judge Hall tomorrow.
ELECTION YxsrERplY.-The election
in Virginia, yesterday, wa, one Of the
most quie; we have ever seen in this
State. There was not a decent fight
during the day. Several parties how
ever made an attempt TO fight, but
strange as il may seem, the whisky they
drank made them stager away from one
another, and as = result there was no
blood shed during the day. Never have
we seen an election take place which
seems TO give such general satisfaction
as the one yesterday. The Democrats
are thankful to the Union party for small
fsyors. Last election, the Union party
helped them to elect Pat Lsnnan, Con-
stable, and the whole party rejoiced.
This election they helped them to elect
J. c. Currie, and they again are ready
to acknowledge the Union party a good
set Of fellows. As there must necesss-
rily be two parties in the field, i; is \
most excellent idea to keep the present
Democratic party alive by giving them a
man now and then 10 fill some small
office, for if they did not get any encour-
agement they would soon despair and
give up the struggle. The affairs Of the
city will no doubt be judiciously man
aged under the new administration as
il has been under the old.
LOST A FIyGER.-0n yesterday a team
ster in Gold Hill, by the name Of Pane,
met with a very painful accident, under
the following circumstances: Some
thing about the team got out Of place,
and the tesuster got out Of humor.
While he was fixing something about
the singletree, one Of the mules con-
cluded it WAS its chance to get even
therefore the animal let 60 with both
feet, one striking the mans finger and
crushing it 30 badly that it had TO be
amputnted 81 the second joint. DR..
CASTOR performed the operation. Mr..
Pane may be as gen.le TO his animals as
q man can be, and never abuse them,
but one thing is certain we have seen
some teamsters recently who ought 10
have met with an accident like this, or
even worse; for they seem to take a
supreme pleasure in seeing how cruel
they can be TO 3 poor dumb animal.
Had we the power Of ~instructing every
mule, we would teach them to kick all
ill-natured drivers.
wrLcoxr.-Eugene Bittner, Esq, one
Of our best citizens in Gold Hill-who
has been on a visi: to old Ohio and
Missouri, for the las. six or eight months
returned q day or W since, and was
warmly, and, we may say, a~ftectionately
greeted By all who know him among
our ~citizens-tor a better man does not
live among US. He expresses himself
as much pleased with his trip to st.
Louis, especially. May Eugene Bit,ner
live long in a community where he has
not az enemy.
