Children's Fair, to be opened on Tues
day and Wednesday afternoons and eve
nings OF. this week, for fear it is in a
private house. Do not hesitate on this
account. The house 283 Broad street,
nearly opposite Westminster Church,
is at present unoccupied. 1t is the old
Mills House" and has been loaned
the children by their friend, Hon.
Amos Clark, Jr,
Let us all encourage these young
folks in their efforts to do good. 1t
should do all of us good to see some of
the articles they are to have ON exhibit
ton in their " Museum" Whitefelds
Pulpit and the Dairyman's Daughters
chair, have already been mentioned,
and Gen, Washington's spcctacle-case
will be there, also cannon balls from
the Revolution, and shells from Gettys
burg, spurs OF rebel chief, relics from
Egypt and Syria, one dating 500 years
B. G. And did we hear right some
thing about white bears from Green
land ? That must be a sham-worth
few cents to expose to an abused
public.
Plants are to be there on sale, and
Canary birds and music boxes-war-
ranted to be even more genuine than
are the bones of st. Antipas, also to
be on hand, not for sale, but in the mu-
scum.
Toys and candies for the children /;
books and pictures suited for all, both
great and small. There is less danger
of our forgetting the refreshment sa-
loon. However let us give that ben
eft also. Our own loss if we do not.
WIFE BEATING.-A MAN SHOT. The
Port was the scene of an outrage last
evening, which, unfortunately. has re-
suited in the incarceration of worthy
citizen. 1t appears that a German ma
med Ernest Baursache, with his wife,
occupy the lower, and Mr.. Charles Ty
rel, the upper part of house in the
Second ward, and that last night Baur
sache became engaged in a quarrel with
the one whom he had sworn to love,
cherish and protect. After many hard
words had passed between the interest
ing couple, they grappled, fighting
fiercely for some minutes, when the
husband, by a foul, succeeded in get
ting the upper hand of his dear wife,
whom he now proceeded to beat in Il
shameful and inhuman manner, despite
her terrible and heart-rending shrieks
for mercy and assistance.
Mr.. Tyrell could withstand her pit
eous appeals no longer, and FASTENED
down stairs to her relief The door be-
ing aiar, and the sledge hammer blows
being continued, he entered the room !;
but no sooner was his presence noted
than the scene changed. In the twink
ling of an eye Baursache ceased beating
his wife, and springing to the door, be
locked the same, putting the key in his
pocket
| The affectionate wife, with moment S
respite, had so far recovered by this
time, as to be able to join with her hus-
band in an attack on the one who had
thus invaded their sacred precincts. -
Mr.. Tyrell being thus situated, attemp-
ted to explain, but the now happy and
united couple, would listen to excuse,
and accordingly commenced brutal
attack on Il gentleman whose only OBJ
iect had been to render assistance to
the oppressed. Baursache and his ami
able spouse acting thus. and actually
threatening his life, Mr.. Tyrell drew
three-inch Smith and NELSON'S revol
yer, hoping by this means to SO intim-
idate the exasperated couple as to make
his escape. But being more closely
pressed, the revolver was accidentally
discharged-the bullet passing through
Baursache's eye, lodging in his head.
Baursache fell to the floor, and was as
sisted to bed, where he still lies in a
precarious situation Medical attend
ance was summoned, but no great re-
lief has been afforded-the fwherea-
bouts of the bullet not having been dis
covered
This morning Chief HERON preferred
complaint against Mr.. Tyrrell, who
was arrested lily Capt. Mcclure. Mr..
