Stabbing Affair at Wilmington.

A stabbing affair took place at Will
mington Tuesday morning, the par
ticulars of which were yesterday
brought to this city. 1t seems that
an American named Jones and three
Mexicans were on spree Monday
night, and after all had imbibed freely
Jones was taken to a lodging house
and put to bed. He claimed that he
had had money in the evening, but
when he awoke the next day it had
all disappeared. Jones accused Mex
can who was sleeping in the room of
stealing the money, whereupon an
alteration occurred, and Jones, draw
ing a knife, stabbed his companion in
the left side near the abdomen. Jones
was arrested and brought before Judge
Savage, but as there was nobody to
swear that he did the stabbing he was
released and in the course of the eve
ming effected his escape from the
place. There was no effort to take the
deposition of the Mexican and he was
too badly wounded to appear in court,
hence the lax working of the law.
The wounded man, whose name we
learn is Yorba, was mortally injured,
it is thought.

Almost an Enoch Arden.

One of the Eastern variety papers of
a recent date contains the following
romantic and pathetic story, Illus
trated with profuseness of wood cuts
which is truly affecting. AS the mar
rative has local bearing we repub-
lish it, at the same time furnishing an
equally remarkable sequel to the story:
CHAPTER THE FIRST.
Eastern Paper.l
A few mornings since as Mrs. Green,
of Louisville, KY, was sweeping the
sidewalk in front of her house, man,
both ragged and dirty, accosted her,
saying he was hungry. Being very
kind and benevolent woman she at
once began inQuiring where he be-
longed and where he was going. In
reply he said he had been in Califor-
MIA for the past ten years, but at last
a strong desire seized him to visit his
old home, and he had started, walking
and begging his food. Mrs. Green in
quired in what part of California he
had been, and upon his replying Los
Angeles she became very much inter-
ested and told him her husband left
home for that place ten years before.
The man asked her husbands name.
Upon being told that it was William
Green he said he HAD known a Will
liam Green there, and that there had
been rumor that he was soon to take
to himself a wife. Upon hearing this
Mrs. Green began to weep. Calling
child of perhaps three years to her
side she turned to enter the house,
when the man asked to whom the
child belonged.
"To me-" said Mrs. Green.
"But you said your husband had
been away ten years. Have you mar
ried second timeH
"No, sir; but [ was so lonesome |
adopted this child, hoping that in car
Ing for her l might forget my sorrow
for the loss of my dear husband"
"Do you still hope for his returnY"
"Indeed | do, and every day the
hope crews stronger
As she uttered the last words the
man threw his cap upon the ground
and the head was covered with short,
curly, brown hair. With one motion
the tangled whiskers were removed
and the patient, loving wife beheld
her long absent husband.

The Rescued Fenian Prisoners.

The Irish Literary and Social Club
of our city held meeting last Monday
evening, the 26th inst, to devise
means for the reception of the Fenian
prisoners released from English dun
geons, who will shortly make their
way to our shores. After an imprison-
ment of ten years they will require
the kindest attention and care to re-
cuperate their wasted energies, and it
is fitting that the strong aud prosper
Gus as well as patriotic Irishmen of
California should extend to them u
helping hand. Messrs. Henry King,
Charles Hagan and John Kenealy
were appointed committee to receive
subscriptions for this purpose. 1t is
hoped that there will be generous
response to the call.

CHAPTER THE SECOND.
Jour OWN |

OUR OWN
We knew William WE'LL When
he first came to this country he was
sore of foot and depleted in exchequer.
He had walked all the way from San
ia Fe, New Mexico, across the desert,
with large bunion on his heel, and
subsisted ON piece of Government
hard-tack. Being frugal and indus
trious, he soon found work on ranch
herding sheep at fourteen cents day,
while tobacco was selling at three dol
lars pound and whisky was not OBJ
tainable short of thirteen dollars gal
lon. From his small earnings Will
liam soon saved enough to purchase
an oreide watch and pair of suspen-
ders. With these slight equipments
he bade farewell to the scene of his
first labors and looked for an opening
more suited to his refined tastes.
He worked for five years successfully
throughout the county, opening
CLANS, blacking boots, and bottoming
chairs about the groceries and taverns
of the town. At this time he was
called to San Quentin and found occu-
patton in stone quarry for about two
years. Returning, happier circum-
stance took him to Gospel Swamp,
where it seems his fortune changed as
if by magic. He soon discovered a
gold mine of fabulous value,
from which he abstracted bushel after
bushel of the pure virgin nuggets.
1t was no unusual circumstance for
Mr.. Green to take from his mine in
Gospel Swamp upwards of fifty thou
sand dollars worth of ore in single
day. With this rapid accumulation
it is easy to see that Mr.. Green placed
himself in very comfortable circum-
stances in the space Of nearly five
years of continued good fortune. He
built a brown stone front on Negro
alley, in the most aristocratic portion
of the city, hired a retinue of Chinese
servants, and prepared home of regal
magnificence for his far distant and
long waiting bride. Our readers have
the remainder of the touching story in
the preceding chapter and we need
only add to make the picture complete
that William had, in the meantime,
reared large and interesting family
of children in Los Angeles. Selah!
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-06-29

Last evening about midnight OFF,
GERS Fonck, Carrillo, Charles, Jerome
and Benitos made an arrest of sixteen
Cinnamon who were engaged in play
ing the game of tan. Several attempts
have been made before to capture
them, but the offenders escaped. The
arrest was made in Negro Alley, and
a considerable amount of money was
captured, with all of the implements.
As the procession marched up Main
street the spectacle was quite amusing
to the gazers who witnessed the parade
to the station house.
The ladies of the Fort street Metho-
dist church have engaged the County
Court room In which they will spread
a sumptuous Centennial lunch for the
