The Austin RersRie of the 3Oth ultimo
says: .,~..---,,,..
a very sad accident occurred in this
city on Saturday night last. 1t seems
that William ArSall entered his house
i'll Upper Austin slightly 2iiitoxicatcd,
and commenced an assault OH his wife in
the presence Of his, son John, who was
mt tho time trimming, his nails with Il
pocket knife. The old man attempted
to strike tho old woman with II bottle
when tho boy jumped up ind stepped
between them, tho mother Immediately
leaving tho house uninjured. Tho
father then assaulted the boy with n
bottle, which he threw Mt him, but for
tunately for tho boy tho old man missed
his mark and the bottle was broken into
atoms OH the wall. The father then
grabbed the son by the throat and in the
scuiie received q cut from the pocket
knife in the hands OF his rson. Drs.-
Wixom and HuntsmRn .were call
cd and did everything that could
be done TO save tho wounded mans
life, but to no purpose. William Ar
gall died this, morning at about ten
O'Clock. This is to be regretted, and
tho general verdict seems to lie un-
doubtcdly in favor of the boy, John Ar
gall, and We understand that even the
deceased said 10 those around him that
| his son did not cut him Intentionally,
but that it was purely accidental. The
funeral will tnke place tomorrow after
noon at 9 o'clock from the Methodist
Church.
