After three shots had been fred by Mr.. Tate,
Special Officer Petrie, of tho hotel, succeeded in
was Conducted up staira to his room. It was then
found that lie was bleeding proRusely, and medical
assistance YVES at once sent for. Neither Dr. Chop

Foster, who Ind been sent for, at last appeared
md examined the wound. It was found to be o
straight thrust but as tho patient was weakening
rapidly from loss Of blood, and the hemorrhage

soothing god after witnessing the fray, or had
slept through it undstnrbed, was not apparent
We did not care to wake him up and inquire. The
usual groups were gathered round the stoves,
quietly discussing the planting interests, the state
Of the COTTON market, or the constitutional amend
mont. Boarders just from the supper room were
quietly picking their teeth, or putting away at
their HaYanas as they lolled against their fayorte
pilars, or recined at ease in cosy arm-chairs,
with their heels about foot above their heads.
Fresh arrivals wero inscribing their names on the
book, or waiting impatiently for the number Of
their apartments; departing guests, with travelling
bags, &C., Hlurg about them, were settling thor
little bilIs Col Boyd and his staff of clerks were
calmly going through tho usual Office routine, and
tho porters were tIundling luggage to and fro as
tho excited group Of clhdron, who were poerng
through the ratings at tho top of the rotlnda,
and the business-ike air of the newspaper report
crs, who were gliding among the crowd, no one
would have suspected that anything extraordinary
had taken place less that q fsllow-creaturo

his imperfcctions OIL his head, whilst another had
received = dangerous, perhaps mortal injury. But
such is Life.

see Judge Tate, at his room in the hotel and found
police guard at tho door. The condition of the
wounded man We found much improved, the knife,
if having been decided, not penetrating the lung.
