PRINCESS ANNE NOTES.
Princess ANNE, Aug. 21.-Samuel
Graham, colored, was arrested Saturday
and lodged in the Somerset Jail upon
the charge of an assault with intent to
kill Henry Hudson, also colored. Hud-
son married sister of Graham's wife
and they lived together until June last,
when they disagreed and separated,
Hudson's wife going to live with
Graham's family. On Thursday last
Hudson passed Graham's house, which
is in Wicomico county, near the Somer-
set line, and the two men went to pur-
chase some cider. After doing this they
continued down the road until they
reached the Somerset line, when Graham,
it is stated, charged Hudson with say
ing that he (Graham) was the cause of
their separation, at the same time swear
ing and saying he did not allow any
man to talk about him in that way.
Hudson said he did not want any
fuss, and as he had some business to
attend to suggested that they part as
good friends. This Grahame acquiesced
in and Hudson turned and was in the
act OF leaving when Graham cut him in
the small of the back, severing the
muscles Hudson fell to the ground,
and Graham jumped upon him and
stabbed him several times in the back
and left leg. He then jumped up, and,
pulling his pistol, said he intended to
kill HIM, tHudson,) at the same time
swapping the pistol several times which
failed to fire. He then left him in a
helpless condition. After short time
Hudson succeeded in crawling to a
house in the vicinity and was taken in
and cared for. Hudson has six wounds
upon the back and left leg, and whilst
none, according TO the attending ply
| sician's statement, are necessarily fatal,
yet there is danger of blood poisoning.
