STABBING AFFAIR.-Saturday afternoon
last couple of men named Nat Blancy
and Jake Wabble got into dispute con-
cerning the merits of an old horse, and
finally came to blows, when Blaney drew
his knife and stabbed Wabble three sew
eral times in the shoulder, breast and
abdomen. Blaney was arrested and
bound over to Court by the Mayor.
Wabble's wounds are not serious, and he
went home. Whisky had much to do
with the whole business, probably more
than any other cause Hardin County

the women Of America, with whom G.
W. was always great favorite, and for
whom, it is said, he in life had recip-
rocal regard. For over quarter Of a
century they strove to raise money to
buy the Mt. Vernon estate. Through the
help of Mr.. Everett and thousands OF
patriots who listened to his lectures
given in the cause, their efforts became
a success, They now have and hold the
barren property, but are wanting in the
means to keep it from lapsing into ma
tional disgrace. 1t is expected that the
production of the "Mistletoe Bough" by
the society-ladies of New York will
be the means Of putting the home and
tomb of G. W. on a respectable footing.
G. w. is known to have been in quiet
way partial to the traditions OF the
"Mistletoe Bough" with all that its an
tique ceremonies imply, and this enter
prise commands itself, in the elanguage of
the New York Tribune, "to the most
generous support of the gentlemen of

THE New York Commercial Advertiser
suggests that Packard and Nichols be
turned loose in forty-acre lot sur.
rounded by high fence, and that each
be armed with a loaded shotgun and
plenty of ammunition. If the field was
free from stumps or other Instructions
to an active canvass, it is thought that
the Louisiana gubernatorial questions
could be thus settled in salts factory
manner. The services of coroner
would be more acceptable to the public
than board of commissioners, and nc
effort would be made to go behind the

most meritorious individual who has
appeared upon the worlds stage since
the establishment of the present
Christian era. Orators, historians,
theologians, sculptors, painters, poets,
politicians and horsejockeys have paid
tribute of the best they knew or could
do to embalm his memory and conse-
crate his deeds. If there is no humbug
in all this, the memory of Washing
ton is the richest Inheritance of modern
civilization, and America, in whose
cause this great renewn was faithfully
earned, would he naturally expected to
take little stock in doing honor to and
preserving bis last resting place.
