In addition TO the articles taken from
our exchanges, and published this week,
we will ask our friend il he feels satisfied
with his work, when he considers the
sorrow and misery caused in the families
Of his neighbors, the direct result of his
sales of strong drink.
We will close with q few more extracts

BEATEN WITH An IRON BAR-About 10
o'clock yesterday morning, Patrick Price,
a hostler, who lives at the southwest
corner of Elm and Water streets, got
into a quarrel with one Adam Miller, a
stable boss in the employ Of John Nal
ems, at Race and Water streets Price
according to Miller's statement, had been
for some time in the habit Of loafing
about the stable, particularly when in
toxicated, and had been ordered away
from there several times. Yesterday he
came round again, very drunk, and, upon
being ordered to leave first abused and
ultimately struck Miller The stable
boss Immediately seized a long, heavy
iron bar, bent and pointed at the end.
! which occasionally served the purpose .oi
a rake in the stable. and with il struck
Price several terrible blows on the head
and back. Price dropped unconscious
on the sidewalk, when he was found by
the patrolmen, and taken to the Office OF
I In h.
ordered him at once to the Hospital.
Adam Miller was shortly after arrested
by Officer Cronin. and locked up at the
Third Street Police Station, on the
charge of assault with intent to kill
Price was conveyed to the Hospital in
an ambulance. where his wounds were
examined by DR.. Jones. and were found
to be severe, but not necessarily danger
Gus. Two ugly ragged gashes were found
on his head-one above the left ear,
about three inches long, laying the skull
bare; and the other on the back Of the
head, about the same length, likewise
cutting to the bone. There was also
found a punctured wound penetrating
the deltoId muscle behind the right
shoulder, which wound had evidently
been caused by the point of the rake.
Price was too drunk when treated TO
give any coherent account of the trouble.
The iron weapon used by Miller was COW
cred at one end with clotted blood.
The following is from the Hillsborough
News:
ANOTHER SUIcIDE-Herman Lisber,
aged about q, eldest son of the late 10.
seph Lieber, shot himself through the
head with a pistol about 6 o'clock on
Wednesday morning OF last week, at the
jefferson House, causing death almost
instantly. as is supposed, though he was
not found for nearly an hour Afterwards
when life was entirely extinct. Ii is said
he had been in the habit for some time
of threatening to kill himself, on which
occasions he would go upstairs to his
room, lock the door and fire his pistol, to
frighten the rest of the family. Suppos-
ing he was only repeating the usual per-
formance this time, no attention was
paid to him until his prolonged absence
after the report of the pistol induced one
of the boarders to 60 up to has room,
when the horrible truth was discovered
and the unfortunate young man was
found weltering in his blood-a CHASTITY
corpse He has been addicted to intem-
perance for some years, and this probably
led to the commission of the rash act, as
no other cause is known.
1t is a sad coincidence, that an uncle
OF young Lleber, named Schwartz, com
mitted suicide in the same house about
10 years ago, by shooting himself through
the head with a musket.
