HARD TO kILL.-A row and re,
markable case of stabbing took place
Christmas, at seven o'clock in the
evening, on Broadway, near Eighth
street, in front of Bloch's second
hand store. Jerry Horgan was
found lying there, with q knife
buried to the hilt in his left temple.
He was unable to speak, and was
thought to be dying. Restoratives
revived him, and he was taken to
the Cincinnati Hospital. Here he
was unusually facteious in his talk.

I'm too big a sinner"
While the surgeons were prepar-

stuck out of his head II just want
to see how it feels. 1t don't hurt q
bit, but seems like / had TIVE heads.
Well, an Irishman is hard to kill.
We're a tough set. Life sticks to

When the surgeons got ready for
work and found it impossible to ex-
tract the blade by hand, they laid
the man on a couch upon the floor
and with the left side of his head
uppcrmost. Three men with might
and main held his head down. The
engineer brought his pipe tongs in
to grasp the hilt of the knife. This
gave sort of augur handle for the
surgeon and engineer to pull by.
All things ready, the surgeon and
engineer1ook hold each with both
hands, and .tugging steadily with all
their power, against three pairs of
hands holding the head down, the
knife came out with a jerk, thanks
to q riyet of good true steel. Horgan
bore itwithout fiinching, exclaiming
when the feat was accomplished.

How the affair took place, why
and who drove that knife through

The impeachment Case.

Congress spent much time and

conducted with the impeachment and
acquittal of Andrew johnson; but il
remained for the Washington cores
pondent of the Gazette to lay before
the public full and correct history
of that extraordinary affair This
has naturally attracted general at

papers have attempted to enlarge
upon it, by interviewing two of the
principal actors-W endell and But

reporter sent to talk with him; new.
ertheless, he wrote ont three columns
OF what purported to be a converse
tion.
But what Wendell did say confirm

on the part of the friends of Mr..
