Sudden Death,

Yesterday morning negro man named
Lewis Calvert, entered the bake-shop OF
Mrs. Greig, on Union street, and while con-
versing with some friends, was seized with
an apoplectic fit. Proper remedies were ap-
piled, but did not have any other effect than
to revive the sufferer, who, after while,
had another fit, from which death ensued.
The body was taken to r. II. Groomes &
Co.'s undertaking shop, on Cherry street,
where an inquest by the coroner was held,
the verdict being according to the above
facts. The deceased was young man, I'M
married, and had been engaged in the ba-
ker's trade. -..aT --..--.

Yesterday an officer ofthe State prisonIwent
before Justice Wilkinson and had warrrnt
issued for Miles Manley convict whose time
is out to-day, charging him with an attempt
to escape from the penitentiary befoIe the
expiration of his sentence. Manley was
held to appear at the next term of the
Criminal Court, and while it is right to
punish rebellieus convicts, it is very expen-
sive to the State and the tax payers to
have men tried in the courts. We hardly
think grand jury viii favor an incurrence
of such expense and will fail to find an in
dictment unless the case be henious one.

LIPPINCoTr's Medical Times states that
preventive of sea sickness is to lie down;
but it must be in the proper direction. The
sufferer should lie with his head towards
the bows, when he will be during the de-
scent Of the ship, in position in which
there is a tendency to reduce the natural
supply of blood on the brain. On the other
hand, ifhe reverses his position, then the
blood will have tendency to move from
the feet TO the head. -

SOMETHING ORIGINAL.
Knoxville Love Literature.

Among the literature of the present age
we often find specimens of awkward COM
position, inducing US to believe that not
even love itself, though yelled in the mystic
ry of sentiment, and pierced only by Cupid's
arrows, is entirely safe from its murderous
iavelins, as illustrates the following letter
from Knoxville damsel to gushing swain
in this city:

An Affair of Blood.

4 quarrel which ended in case of stab
bing took place at the livery stable of A.
Coquillard on Sunday night between Will
liam Shaw and man named Robinson
Mr.. Robinson keeps boarding house on
Michigan street. and the alteration grew
out of a refusal by Shaw to meet a de-
mand made by him for board money.
Mr.. r. became enraged at the insulting
replies which he received, and struck
Shaw with a buggy whip over the head.
Shaw in return inflicted upon Robinson
two thrusts with large pocket knife.
One entered his abdomen near the right
hip, the other would doubtless have prov
ed fatal had not its force been stayed by
striking the lower portion of the breast
bone. Shaw gave himself at once into
the custody of Sheriff Glover but was
discharged on the day following, Robin
son refusing to prosecute. The man
Shaw, although young, is said to have u.s.
ed his kuife in quarrels before and to be
decidedly of the desperate order. Doc
tor Partridge rendered surgical assistance
to the wounded man, and although his
situation is still somewhat critical it is
probable that he will ultimately recover.

GEO FRANCIS TRAIN, speaking of the
mongrel convention at Cincinnati said !:
THE convention is denominated as q
Liberal Republican Convention, but
notice good many prominent Democrat
ic leaders around who have dropped in
here, some representing houses in New
York, some going out snipe shooting, and
some attending to important litigation in
the Courts. | think l never saw so
many old fashioned Democratic leaders
hanging around any place as may be seen
here now. 1t reminds me of Dundreary's s
question, "Why does a dog wag his tail ?
A dog wags his tail because the dog Is
bigger than the tail; otherwise the tail
would wag the dog" Now it seems to
