YOUNG MAN OUT.
Tuesday night, 21st ult Thomas
Fife cut Cephas Carter very badly or
the thick part of the left hip. Garter
was also stabbed by Fife. the cut is
about five inches long and three deem
and the stab is about two inches deem.
Garter is young man aud lives with
parents on Ashland street. The cut
ting took place near the corner of Chs-
fin and Hancock streets. Carter claims
he went to Il church festival together
with three other friends and they
bought four saucers of cream each and
paid for them. Fife came up and took
Carriers saucer OF cream out of his
hand and passed it TO another younl -
ster who ate 1t. This action on the
part OF Fife brought on words
but it seemed that Thomas Fife
was bent on his deviitry. It's
said he laid in wait and ran upon Car
ter while he was going home and
plunged the knife or razor into his
side and would have killed him but
for young man, Mr.. Parish, who got
his hand sliced by grRsping the razor.

the and and some are trying to get on
their war paint, but they never talk

While the faithful christians ar
looking, wal ching and praying, jeal-
Ousy is trying to get its work in also.
but we shall stand as firm and imprep
nable as the principles we are con
tending for.
