CUTTING AFFaAY on THE DivIDE.-
About I o'clock last evening Charles l..
Gibson, q boarder at the Ashland House
on the Divide between here and Vir-
riuia, had an alteration with Mat.
Crow, the landlord Of the house, result
ing in Grow s.abbiug Gibson in the
right side, with u pocket-kni:e, inhicting
a severe and very dangerous wound.
The quarrel, we are informed, was com
menced by Grow, on the porch OF the
house, but both parties soon nfterward
wen. into the bnr-room, where the affray
occurred, Crow At first using o
"hoat" or tool used in cutting
pegs out Of the inside Of boots or
shoes, and Gibson using his fists.
Finding Gibson was getting the best OF
the g float" arrangement, Crow used
his knife as above stated. Tho ARRAY
was short and Gibson did not know I'M
til after they were separated that he
was stabbed and bleeding freely. Dr..
Green was sent for and dressed the
wound. It is perhaps one and q half
or two inches deep, aud three quarters
Of an inch wide. The intestines do o
appear to be cut, aud unless infinmma-
ton is allowed to supervene, the wound
will not result seriously. Crow was ar
rested and was being examined at noon
to-day, before the Recorder.
ANOTHER ArrRAy ON TUE DIvIDr.-A
quarre. occurred about ten o'clock to-
day, at the Russ House, on the Divide,
growing out OF the unfortunate

Ned Grow, brother to the landlord Of
the Ashland house, and D. L. Crosby,
which resulted in both going out
to the sidewalk in front of Dexter's
store, where Crosby struck Grow a
heavy blow on the head with a pick
handle, knocking him down. A large
cash was cut in the scalp on the
right side above the ear, and it
was thought the skull was frac-
tured. He bled ~profusely, and a sur
geon had been sent for at the time

the matter win be had.
