A ROw.-Last Sabbath afternoon on
village was disgraced by drunken ROY
among several Irishman, male and female
Thomas Norton and his brother seem t
have been the principal contestants, an
after a fine scrimmage, one James Eyel
attempted to act the part of peacemake
when in true Irish style they both turne
upon him. In the melee that ensued Ey
ers received two stabs from knife in tn
hand of Thomas, one in the right hip III
ficting an ugly flesh wound, injuring som
of the nerves of motion and paralyZing tn
right leg; the other just below the lie
shoulder blade near the back bone. EithC
wound would have been fatal had not tn
knife in both cases struck a bone and turn
ed from the direct course. DR.. RuthCrtor
dressed the wounds and though seriOusl
injured, it is thought the victim will recOy
er. Eyers was employed in the steam mi
of Simpson 4 Co., running the large say
and the mill was stopped yesterday for wal
of some one to take his place. Rum did
all. Who sold the rum, and is therefor
morally and legally responsible for all To-
and damage sustained thereby? Echo al
swers, who? Thus far no arrests have bee
made and virtually countenance has thu
been given to such acts, even though the
transpire on the Sabbath and almost wit
in a stones throw of the sanctuary. Occu
rences of various kinds i'll our midst durir
the past few weeks are conclusive proofs
progress. We have nearly or quite all Il
e. Accomplishments of city life. We thin
. our next representative should be instruC
ed to procure a city charter that we m;
have the name as well as the game.
