Saturday afternoon a stAbi»ing affair occurred at the distillery cattle, pens, in which Christopher liick. aged alwntt .V, who is foreman in charge of the pens, was stabbed by Thomas McDonotigh, aged about 19, an eiiipjrtyy under him,, One of the rules is tliat thine.«hall benosmoking about the pens. Rick cbservetl Mr Donongh with his anus filled with straw, and alighted pipe in his mouth, which Rick ordered him to put out. as the rules forbid smoking. MeD. refused, or was slow about obeying, when Rick caught him "by the coat lo wait* him oui of the shed, and as he did so, McD. made a lunge at Rick with a knife, which lie either had in his aleeve, or got open inlo his hand while Rick-was talking to hint .penetrating liia clothing, and making a severe wound in the left side aud under the arm. It was thought Saturday night that Rick's ^ui^d was dangerous, but at 2 o'clock to-day a Daily News messenger found hiiu at his residence, on South Firm, engaged in the occupation of shaving himself. -f/S'f-i.'ij 'j't

McDonough was arrested and committed for examination. He claims that Rick grabbed him by the throat and that he had the knife in his hand at the time, but did not intend to use it, andtliat the stabbing wtis entirely accidental.

The Ledger says: "Then are now suits entered aggregating $5).000 against the county and it will require the best legal talent in the cases in order io Save the county from judgment and the taxpayers front losse^j. The Nkws, an 'Independent paper,' ought to know that $3,000 have been paid by'this county in the last t,wo years ifor the defense of pan per Criminals. Tlie Board has made a contract with him to cto all its legal busiiness, to control, manage and conduct suits and defend pauper criminals for $1,000 a year. Several lawyers, Republican and Democratic,, have openly said that the action of the tJoard, in view, of the ability of McNutt, aqd tho work to be done,is not only wise but economical," No one will question Judge McNutt's ability, and if lie attends promptly to the county's business, as proposed, the News will be ever ready to commend him. ti Jk Vonif TraSM. /J.'-'ii'u. .,n%„ ',:»u ?lndM»»polU
