MAN STABBED AT VIReISIA.-Aeout 5
o'clock yesterday morning, Edward
Rule, engineer at the Lady Bryan mill,
Flowery, was dangerously stabbed. at
Virginia. There was a drunken row at
the saloon in the Medin building on
North @ street, and the police were
taking some Of the riotous individuals
along the sidewalk toward the station
house, followed and surrounded by quite
a noisy crowd. Just az they were pass
ing Sam Hornbrook's saloon, nearly OPP
posite tho International, Mr.. Rule, who
was stepping aside to avoid the rushing
crowd, met a man just outside the
door Of the saloon, who, from some
unexplained cause Immediately grsppled
him, and they both went down strug-
Cling with each other. They were ar
rested at once and taken to the station
house, where it raj for the 6rst time
discovered that Rule was very badly
stabbed, so that his bowels protruded.
He was taken to the old Merchants Ex-
change, where he now lies in charge of
DR.. Briarly. He has two cuts two or
three inches long in his belly, below
tho ribs on the right hand side OF
the navel, aud one or two others in
the right groin. The knife penetrated
the cavity, bat did not cut his intes-
tines, therefore unless undue infam-
nation supervenes, he will doubt
less recover. The man who is supposed
10 have doue the stabbing is in
custody. In conversation with Rule
this morning, he distinctly stated that
he had no idea who the man WAS who
cut him, or what he did it for. The story
that he knew, and was for reasons
bost known to himself unwilling to tell
is apparently a humbug.
CHRISTMAS DAY.-Ths above popular
holiday passed Of very agreeably as a
general thing. The weather was not
especially clear, neither was it very I'M
pleasant, but the streets were fearfully
muddy, therefore people did not run
about quite 80 much rs they would
otherwise have done. Several turkeys
were judieiously disposed of in the nat
ural and inevitable course Of things
usual at all well ordered Christmas
dinners, and people generally through
out Gold Hill and Virginia seemed to
enjoy themselves hugely. The meat
markets and toy shops all made very
6ns displays of eatables and %desirables.
and ali the saloons were a~fiusnt and
generous in the way Of egg-nogg, free
lunch, and other good things al
though there were many celebrating
very hilarously, yet we have only a case
or two Of fighting to speak Of. The
usual festivities Of Christmas Eve were
duly observed, and grand midnight
mas was solsmnized in the Catholic
Churches. In the churches, especially
at Virginia, yesterday and last night
religious services were held. Last
evening Piper's Opera House and all
other places Of amusements were well
crowded and the festival and ball in aid
of the new Catholic Church At Virginia
was we'll attended and kept up pretty
much all night. The Sunday School
Christmas festivals at the churches are
spoken of in high terms Of admiration.
