A BTrCATIOlf.
Two young officers were travelling in the far
west, when they stopped to take supper at a
small road-side tavern, kept by a very rough
Yankee woman. The lady, in a calico sun-bonnet,
and bare feet, stood al the head of the table
to pour out. She inquired of her guests "if
they choose long sweetening or short sweeten
ing iu their coffee." The first officer, suppos
ing that "long sweetening" meant a large por
tion of that article, chose it accordingly. What
was his dismay when he saw their hostess dip
her finger deep down into an earthen jar of
honey that stood near her, and then stir it, (the
finger) round in the coffee. His companion,
seeing this, preferred "short sweetening;" upon
which the weman picked up a large lump of
maple sugar that lay in a brown paper on the
floor beside her, and biting off a pieoe, put it in
to his cup. Both the gentlemen dispensed with
coffee that evening. This anecdote we hnrd
from the sister ef one ef those officers. Miss

te! starter.
About two o'clock, p. at., on Fridav. on
of the most bloody affrays that has occurred
in our city lor some year" took place tt
Lager Beer Hail in the Alhermuum build
ings, kept by Augustus Leussehjr. Tin
following are lhi particular! of the sad af
fair: Shortly before the hour 'above men
tioned, a party of seven persons, nearly all
of whom were intoxicated, entered t';e
Lager Benr Hall referred to, and had some
drink. After slopping some time, lour of
the party left the house, having first paid
for the liquor which had been used during
their stay. The three who temained had
more beer, which, on leaving, they refused
to pay for. The bar-keeper, a German,
named Francis Kellerman, quietly told
them that the' should settle for what they
had in, but instead of doing so, the party
amused themselves by hurling the glasses
from which they had been drinking against
the wall, and creating a general fuss in the
bar-room. Kellerman, remonstrating with
them on the impropriety of theii conduct,
was seized by the haii by one of the party,
and held across the counter whilst another
of his assailants stabbed him in the back.
He immediately called Leussler, who came
from a room convenient to his assistance,
but he had scarcely made his appearance at
the door leading to the bar-room, when he
was stabbed by Perter in the side. After
receiving the wound hn fell into the arms
of a by-stander named Ferdinand Kaiser,
exclaiming as he did so, "call my wife ! call
my wife I I'm dying I" Whilst in this pc,
sit ion he was stabbed in the abdomen, and
Kaiser, in endeavoring to defend him, also
received a severe cut in the head. The bar-
keeper -too. notwithstanding that he had
a,rettdy bfn c ran 10 Leussler's as.s-
tance, and m doing so received two add i-
. woundsonfce oa th, hd .nd h
!t,lher on tl8 eft breast. The alarm being
,,jven bv Kaiser, the Dartv ian awav. but
two of them, Frank Porter and Georo
Lewis, were shortly afterwards arrested by
ollieeis. Hague and Rice, lodged them in
tlie tombs for examination this morning by
the Mayor. Gallaher, the other person
concerned in the affray, is still at large.
Leussler was conveyed to his residence on
jSatilhlield street, where his wounds were
dressed by Drs. Walter and Gross, but as
one of the unfortunate man's lungs was
perforated by the knife, hi recovery is con
sidered impossible. Kellerman, though
badly wounded will recover. He is now
lying at the house where lie received his
injuries. This affair, which is one of the
most serious that has occurred among us
for some time, caused the greatest excite
ment in the quarter of the city where it
took place, so that the house was crowded
by hundreds of persons anxious to hear
the particulars of the encounter. A blade
of a knife covered with blood was found
on the lloor of the bar-room ; the walls of
this apartment too, were ail bespattered
with blood, so thai alter the occurrence it
looked more like a slaughter house, than
anything else to which we compare it.

We are pleased to be able to announce
that the Evangelical Congregational Church
in Second street, East Cambridge, Rev.
Mr. Bennett's, is now in prosperous cir
cutiistouces, after a struggle of many years
with adversity and dimculty. Mr. lien-
net", on Sunday, preached an excellent ser
mon bearing on the subject, from Deuter
onomy iv, 3i: "Ask now of the days that
ate past." It was the first anniversary of
his connection with the church, and he
took occasion to apeak of the principles
which had governed his action, the doc
trines he had taught. &.c... durinrr the vear.
The glory of God and the good of souls he
had striven for, teaching the divinity of
the Lord Jesus, the realitv of reigion, and
seeking to make converts rather than pros
elytes, lhe inculcation ot experimental
and practical religion had been preferred
by him to doctrinal subjects. A year since
the vestry seldom contained over a dozen
at the regular evening devotions; now th
prayer meetings are attended by scores.
1 lit-a the church was laboring under heavy
mortgages, which now are satisfied, SfJtHXJ

Yesterday we were invited by a kind-
hearted philanthropist, to visit. Thatcher
court. We found there a small old wood
en building, one story under ground and
one story and an attic above ground. The
basement story is divided into three apart
ments, the first story in four, and the attic
into the same number. In each ot the
rooms above ground, we found a family,
all in miserable condition. We visited a
family who occupied one of the upper
e i- t- T i
rooms, nere we iouna a man, nis wiie ana
two children, lodged. This little room,
which is just about twice the size of a com
mon bedstead, we found in the most filthy
state. I he man and woman were both
drunk, and have been so most of the time
for the last three weeks. The bed which
accommodated the four was a bundle of
rags in a most shocking condition.
No furniture, excepting the bed, ot any
kind was to be seen, but we learned that
the family had a right to cook in one of
the basements when they had anything
to cook where they had a chair and a part
of a table. An empty bottle, which had
contained spirits, was standing near the
father of this miserable family, lhe chil
dren had no food during the day, and they
said they were starving. A little girl four
years old and a little boy ot two years were
the unfortunate children oi tins couple.
Our companion kindly remonstiated with
the burly, hearty looking drunkard and his
miserable looking wife, but it did no good.
They appeared lost to shame and the wil
ling 'vk-.tims to their appeii'.es. The oldest
of the children was then taken to a shop
near by, and some feod purchased for her
and her little brother. She took the (ood

CUM TOR SMALL POS AJTD SCARLATINA.
A merchant and ship owner of this city
has had the following sent him from Eng

Surgeons and -who vouches for it as a
"rrradiclne that will effect A revolution in

joined mode of treatment should at once
became on: Take on grain of powdered
fes-glova or digitalis, (valuable in the ratio
of its greenness the dark should he re
jected) and one of sulphate of xinc; (this
article is commonly known as whit vit
riol.) I bes should M rubbed thoroughly
in a mortar, or other convenient vessel, with
f . f i e . .
tour or nve orops oi water i mis aoue, a
noggin (or about four ounces') more, with
some syrup or sugar, should be added. Of
tins mixture, a table spoonful should be
given to an adult, and two teaspooufulls to
a child, every second hour, until symptoms
of the disease vanish. " .
"Thus conducted, convalescence, as if by
magic, will result. The rapidity of an event
so auspicious will equally dshght and aston
ish, it may, however, ba necessary, fur
ther to note, that should the bowels become
obstructed in the progress of the disease,
an evil by no means common, then a drachm
of the compound powder of jalap, (formed
of two parts cream of tartar with one ol
jalap,) and one grain of the herb, treated
as above, formed into a pastil with syrup
or sugar, should be given to an adult, and
half the quantity to a child. This simple
median souls out every other lorm or ar
ticle whatever as totally unnecessary, if
ni pernicious.
"The meihoJus momendi of these medi
cines, capable of effecting results so gigan
tic, remains now only to be riven, and ap
pears to be as follows: The herb, by its
anti-febrile properties, lays hold at once of.
the fever, the proline source of woe, which
it immediately strangles, while the einc acts
the part ot a tonic, instantly restoring the
equilibrium."
Mr. Larkin adds : "No emigrant or cov-
ernment vessel should hereafter be allowed
to put to sea without a few penceworth of
those protectors ; and it is further ardently
hoped that, as the dearest interests of our
common humanity are so vitally involved in
this discovery, the press of all countries
will give publicity to this announcement.
Miserable Dxatu or aa Iktsmp sratc wo
man. Last night, woman named Mary Kane,
was found dead at cellar No. 54 Ann street, un
der the fotlowifrg circumstances: One Patrick
Kane, with the deceased, his wife, occupy the
cellar: they have three children, ono eight, an
other four, and the third about two years old.
Two girls also occupied the cellar, one of whom
said that she tended bar, and the other did the
house work and danced with the customers.
In one corner of the cellar was a small bar
where cheap and poisenous liquors were dis-
f tensed to sailors and others who visited the eel
ar. Adjoining was a small room, which was
entirely filled with two small bedsteds, upon
which all the inmates of the cellar slept.
The bed reoin had no window or means of
ventilation or light, except what came in from
the door leading into the main room of the cel
lar. It appears that the husband and wife have
heen rontinnallv drunk since Sundav last, and
that on several occasions the deceased had been
beaten by her husband. Yesterday afternoon
they were se drunk that they staggered to bed'
and there laid. At about eight o'clock in the
evening the husband soused up, and called to
his eldest sen to bring him a mug of beer, which
he did. He then managed to get out of bed,
and called to his wife te get up, but she made no
answ er. The son then looked at his mother and
cried that she was dead. This proved to b
the case. The limbs of the unfortunate weman
were drawn together' as if she died in a sudden
spasm ot pain, her head was drawn upon one
side and her face was of a purple color. Cor
oner Sanborn wss called, the husbaud sent to
jail aa a drunkard, and Dr. Greta requested to
make a post mortem examination or the body or
the deceased, to asoertain the cause of death. I
The sight of the crawling vermin, with which!
the bed and body were covered, was almost toe
much for those hardened to such scenes, though
about fifty ef the associates of the women, as
they learned of her death, crowded into the
cellar, and it was with some difficulty that the
body was taken frota them. BostonTrevelcr.

CecBTisv to Lam as We like the view
which a contemporary expresses.. We go
far as any one in that courtesy whih character
ises Americans, but we also ere in for the abeU
tion of revolutionary customs in otirehurcKss.
every sensible man and woman should set their
laces like a flint against the cuttom Which com'
pels the men to march out of a crowded pew to
give lhe ladies the inner seat. It is well enough
for one gentleman te keep th outer seat, ter
proffer any vacant seat there may be in his pew
to strangers or visitors; hut, with this except
tion, the custom of a general stamped en ta
approach of a lady would, ia our opinion, bef
"mere honored in the breach than in the ebterv'
ance." V
Th Rondout Courier says i' ";v . ; .r
"It is particularly an Asserican custom, f suni-
ded in the earlier settled plates. . In taoso
States, in their time, the male settler carried hie
arms to church, ready te turn out in case ef aof
attack by Indians, and he, of course, occupied
the first seat of the bench or pew; . Tunes hat
changed; we have no Indian spprehtnsions, and
women will go to church. - So let iu alter th
view of courtesy or necessity." ; , ,..( .t r

Laura Shields, who resided on Liberty street,

to dress for a ball, to be given at Union Hall, on"
Broadway. When the genlloihan came who was

Her mother called her j but she did not come,
though nearly an hour passed in waiting for
her. At length her mother went ta the deer

she had locked the door. They then became
alarmed and forced the door open, when Laura
