and, not finding his supper prepared, quafrelled
with his wife. Alter passage Of hot words be-
tween the two the husband finally lost control of
himself and, whipping up glass, struck his wife
terrific blow on the forehead, INJECTING
an ugly cash over the left eye. Bassom
then seized small sword and thrust

weapon entered her right breast, innictlng. iortu-

tried to get citizen to do his work. The citizen

payment OF the surveyors bill for opening the Kings

for $4,000, is nearly twice what 1t should be.

a lively interest in the matter aud the case has
been called to the attention OF the Court.
