On Monday evening an affray occurred about four miles west of this city, In Kenton county, at tlie residence of Judge Hal ter. As we learn the facts we state them: A man bv the name ot Hamuli. who lias liecn working In the neigh borhood for some time past, mine to the residence of Mr. Halter on Monday evening. Joseph llnzlet. stop-son of Halter's, Mr. Howard, and prolahly others, were engaged in building or repairing a header-Nil. lhintim ap proached young Hazlct. who bad just recovered from a long attack of hlliou fever, and accused him of talking .about bim (Uamnn) ; Halet denied , the charge and demanded htefHnll- I um's; authority: Haiuiiu refused to give his authority, hut Insisted on the troth of the charge that he illa.let ; bad been making Improper remarks about bim (Hauuin . and as nothing offered by llaxlet seemed to appease him. btit I became more and more exeited ami violent. llar.lct sttrtwl off j to get rid of bim. As Ha.let started, ' Haimtll suddenly drew a huge howie ; knife and struck at Ha.let, tlie point . of the knife glancing across HaJet's i breast, but doing no damage Hazlet, being weak from recent illness, and ! having no weapon with which to de ' feud himself, attempted to escape out of the reach of (he infuriated man: ; but as he turned Hauuni again made : a lunge HI him with the knife, this : time the knife entering at tlie point of the right shoulder, glancing toward i tlie spine, making an ugly wound , about an inch and a half deep the width of the knh. Parties present then interfcrred, and in tlie scuffle ! llauutn lost the blade of the knife but I retained the handle. No attempt j was made to detain Hauuni after this unprovoked, and It would seem, cn j Urely uncalled lor assault, and lie ea leuped to a neighbors. Dr. 1). M. i Jolies, of this city, was sent for to at I tend to tlie wants of the wounded man. lie omul mm very wean irom tlie hiss of blood, but after a careful examination of the wound, sewing up and carefully dressing it, he thinks, with proper attention, the young man will recover. The proer documents for the arrest of Hainan were placed in tile hands of an olllecroii Tuesday, and we suppose, ere this, he has been arrested and tried for the assault. At.W'ST A KlUK.

Such a display of confidence. on the one part, and an utter disre gard of the common civilities one mountaineer owes to another, as ex- blotted on the oilier, brings its own reward ! An excellent story i told at 1 tlie expense of two learned professors. : who, by tlie way. art; pronounced as JoBy company as ever climbed aj mountain or swam a roaring torrent, j 1 As they lay snugly ensconced between their blankets one evening, just pre paratory to closing their eyes in sleep. ! one of the professors raised up in Nil and remarked he smelt something. 1 and asking his brother professor, who was his partner for the night, if he ! couldn't smell something that lasted awful rough. The answer was lliisat j isthctory, inasmuch as it was a declar ; ation of a failure to get a scent of i anything more offensive to the inter I rngated's olfactories than the usual ' aroma emitted bv the Interrogator. - Of course such an answer let professor ! No. 1 out. and he quietly laid down I again ; but that smell of "somethln' j dead" stuck to him. and he soon rear : ed up again, and queried his chum a- to his ability to smell any peculiarly strong smell in the vicinity. This scotching around in the night when a man should lie asleep, didn't set well. I and professor No. 1 was ordered to ' i liaug bis snoot on the mule's ear and j go to sleep, But a few minutes traus ! pircd after this iat episode, before : profbssqr No. 2 changed his position I in bed. which he liad no sooner done j than an overpowering smell of some- j thing dead struck him. too; WpeTcitp- on lie suddenly, and without any re- . ganl to tlie proprieties of the occasion, j sprang to his feet, and marched boldly ! and defiantly away from thar. littering 1 bis belief that there was certainly something "rotten in Denmark." j I That lied was ransacked, and :tst dil igent search, the truth of the assert iosts of both the professors were clearly I I proven, and tlie litforc shaken con i i deuce of their (Wlow-mount.ilneers in I their veracity, fully restored, as from ! a pocket of a garment upon which they liad pillowed their heads was ; drawn forth a pint, more or less, of : dead and maslied crickets, gathered some days before .fer one of thegen ; tlenlen, placed hi said pocket for fu ture attention and forgotten.

Heneatli a very liumb'c roo'', among the i'eas.mt valleys of I'.innington, New Hninpsliiiv, not far from tlie clear Wiunipisogpo lake. bcitOfttli the sliaduws of tliO W hile Mb'iutatiia, in tlioyonrof oitr Lord, ls'2, a boy was Ikuii des. lined to lead a distinguished life. His father was poor, Imu lie had no Ii'e traits of character, ami his mother must l ave lioon a good wo. man, if the law holds true that 'great men always have good mothers." Henry Wilson was born to labor, and he has always labored nt the work in hand as though born only for that one thing, and what, ever the character of tlio work, whether driving home a shoe.ieg or drawing a statute for the salvation or government of a great nation, he lias added to it digiut j and luster. The disadvantages surrounding his youthful work is liest told in a speech ot his at Great Falls, N. II., February 24, 1872. He said : "1 lett my home at ten years of ago, and served an apprenticeship ot eleven years, receiving a month's schooling each year, and at the end of e'even years of hard work, a yoke of oxen and six sheep, which brought me the mm of eighty-tour dollars. Eighty-tour dollars for eleven years of hard toil. I never spoilt the amount of one dollar in money, counting every penny, from the time I was twenty-one years of age. I know what it is to travel weary mi'es and ask my fcllowmen to give mc leave to toil. 1 remember thai in October, 1S33, I walked into your village from my native town, went through your mills seeking employment. If any body hail offered mc niiiC dollar! per month, I should have accepted it gladly. I went to Salmon Falls, I went to 1 lover, I went to New market, and tried to get work, with out success, and I returned home tout-sore and weary, but not dim couraged. I put my ck on my back and wa'kcd to where I now live in .Jassaolitisetts, and learned a mechanic's trade. I know tl hard lot that toiling men have to endure in this world, and every pulsation of my heart, every con vict ion of my judgment, every as piration of my soul, puts me on tho side of the toiling of men my comi. try aye, of all tlie countries." A letter of Jacob Thompson to F. 1'. Henjamin, Secretary ot State of the late Southern Ginfcderacv, found among the Confederate arch ives, which have recently lieen sold to this (Jovernment, shows that Thompson was a regularly author used agent of the Confederacy for the purKise of procuring the burn ing of New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Cincinnati, and throw ing the country into a revolution at the North, and for these purposes Thompson ami his associates, ('lay, llolcomb and Sanders, wero sup plied with 81,000,000 in gold m ftirtlieranco of these schemes. They were in communication with row dents at the North, and llolcomb pewonally at Niagara and St. Albans, and said tho attempt to net Iree the Confederate prisoners at .lohuaou'a Island wero tlie solo ru-
