occurrence took place a. the residence OF Mr.
Jacob GengBageh No. So Hampstead street.
between TWO and three o'clock yesterday morn.
Ing, being the serious wounding of his son,
Henry Grngnagel by a pistol shot From
what could be learned, the young man had
been at ball in Hampstead street, near his
residence to very late hour and some friends
failing in their epdeavors to get HIM home, his
father finally came after him, and took hlm
with HIM, when he retired 10 his room
short time afterwards an explosion of a pistol
was heard, and upon going to his room 1t was
found that he had been shot. Dr. Rusk was
called In, and found that bail had entered
his left breast, and pissed through the lung,
and in all probability lodged in or near the
spinal column, indi ated by the seusiti veness
OF the part and an apparent partial paralysis
Profes sors Smith end Dunbar were subse-
quently summoned TO see him, but could do
little else than commend what had bsen done
by Dr. Ruek. The ball was not extra 9, ed, and
at last accounts he was regarded as in a yery
precarious condition. No one saw the pistol
discharged, and it is a question whether lt was
by design or accident. The opinion OF the
ply sician is that, from the nature of the
wound, ii could scarcely have been an acci.
dent. Before he went home he had on nelther
coat or waistcoat, and 1t is alleged by those
who were with him that he had no weapon
