LOngfelloWN We* Poems.
. 'A .new volume of poems by Longfellow, entitled
"Tales of a Wayside Inn," will be published to•day,
- at Boston, by Ticknor & Fields. Possession of - a.
vane-sheets enables us to give our readers some`
idea of what this new production is. In the Way of
getting up, it is almost perfect : the typography was
•exeented at the University Press, Cambridge; the
paper is laid, thick, and well-colored; the vignette;
4itle.page, by Barley, is simple and expressive.
' The name of the book precisely tells what it
- Following the example of Chewer in the Canter
bury Tales, and Boccaccio in the Dectimeron, Long
fellow has several stories related in verse, by a party
who assemble at a hoatelrie in the _Town of Sud
bury, (Middlesex county, Mass. ' and twenty miles
from Boston,)who are described, with great spirit
and success in the Prelude. They wile away the
hours by telling stories—most of them brief. These
are strung, like pearls, upon a connecting thread of
narrative by the post.
The etory4ellers, assembled in the parlor Of the
inn—an ancient house, where
"half effaced by rain and shine,
The Red Horse prances on the sign,"
tire seven. The Landlord Is the first,
Grave in his aspect and attire ;
A man of ancient pedigree,
A Justice of the Peace was he,
Known in all Sudbury as " The Squire."
He tells the story of "Paul Revere's Ride,"—a
ballad which, with a few other portions of the book,
has appeared in the Atlantic Monthly.
Next is a gentle youth of quiet ways, .
, A student of old books and days,
To whom all tongues and lands were known,
And yet a lover of his own ;
With many a social virtue graced,
And yet a friend of solitude;
A man of such a genial mood
The heart of all things he embraced,
And yet of such fastiuious taste,
Re never found the best too good.
Books were his passion and delight,
And in his upper room at home
Stood many a rare and sumptuous tome,
In vellum bound, with gold bedight,
Great volumes germented in white,
Recalling Florence, Pisa, Rome.
This lover of old romance gives the finest poem of
the whole—Bocoaccio's tale •of The Falcon of. Ser
Federigo, rendered' into verse, and in a manner sur.
passing every preceding attempt, for the incident
has struck many poets, In his beat mood, Leigh
Hunt might have done something like this, but
Would have too much embroidered the subject with
fine words and glittering fancies. Here is just a
little natal of this charming story :
The morrow was a bright September morn;
The earth was beautiful as if new born ;
There was that nameless splendor everywhere.
That wild exhilaration in the air, '
Which makes the passers in the city street
Congratulate each other as they meet.
Two lovely ladies, clothed in Moak and hood,
Passed through the garden gate into the wood,
Under the lustrous leaves, and through the sheen
Of dewy sunshine showering down between.
The one, closehooded, had the attractive grace
Which sorrow sometimes lends a woman's face;
Her dark eyes moistened with the mists that roll
From the gulf-stream of passion in the soul hair
Making
other with her hood thrown bank, her hair
Risking a golden glory in the air,
Her cheekesulthsed with an auroral blush,
.Her young heart singing louder than the thrush.
So walked, that morn, through mingled light and
shade,
Each by the Other's presence lovelier made,
Monne Giovanna and her bosom friend,
Intent upon their errand and its end.
A young Sicilian, exiled under the reign of King
Bombe, is the third in this party—
His face was like a summer night,
All flooded with a dusky light ;
His hands were email; his teeth shone White
As sea-shells, when he smiled or spoke ;
His sinews supple and strong as oak ;
Clean shaven was he as a prieat,
Who at the mass on Sundays sings,
Save that upon his upper lip
His beard, a good palm's length at least,
Level and pointed at the tip,
Shot sideways, like a swallow's wings.
He tells a legend of his own fair isle ; a tradition
Of which King Robert, of Sicily, is the hero. Tells
4 " it, too, as if he believed it—as perhaps he did.
Next, is a Spanish Jew from Alicant, well read in
- filbxance, whore contribution to the general amuse
ment is "The Legend of Rabbi Ben Levi," reading
like
A story in the 'Defmud told,
That book of gems, that book of gold.
There is alsO a theologian from Cambridge :
Skilful alike with tongue and pen,
He preached to all men everywhere
' The Gospel of the Golden Rule
The new Commandment given to men,
Thinking the deed, and not the creed,
Would help us in our utmost need.
- - With reverent feet the earth he trod,
Nor banished nature from his plan,
But studied still with deep research
To build the Universal Church,
Lofty as the love of God,
And ample as the wants of man.
Calm and gentle as this true Christian is, his
story, entitled "Torquemada," supplies the deep
tragic element. of the book. It is a narrative• of
what cruelty Torquemada, Grand Inquisitor of
Spain, late in the fifteenth century, sanctioned an
Hidalgo in committing, in the sacred name of Reit'
gion. The tale is powerful, and the conclusion in
keeping with the intense horror of the previous in
cidents.
The coMpany at the wayside inn are not without
a minstrel:
A Poet. too; was there, whose verse
Was tender, musical, and terse ;
The inspiration, the delight,
The gleam, the glory, the swift night ;
Of thoughts so widen that they seem
_
The revilationsTif a dream,
All these were his ; but with them came
No envy of another's fame ;
He did not find his sleep less sweet
For music in some neighboring street,
Nor rustling hear in every breeze
The laurels of ildiltiades.
Honor and blessings on his head
While living, giood report when dead,
Who, not too eager for renown,
Accepts, but does not clutch, the crown!
His story is the pleasant poem on " The Birds
Of Killingworth," published in the Atlantic Monthly
for December.
Lest of all is the Musician, a sketch for which
Ole Bull might have stood :
Fair-haired, blue eyed, his aspect blithe,
His figure tall, and straight, and lithe,
And every feature of his face,
' Revealing his Norwegian race.
e.•a * *
' Ile lived in that ideal world
Whose language isnot speech, but song.
His violin is a Stradivarius. Mr. Longfellow
deacribeeit minutely, and tells, with a pleasant ex
siggeration, that
When he played, the atmosphere
" Was filled with magic, and the ear
Caught echoes of that Harp of Gold,
Whose music had so weird a sound,
The hunted stag forgot to bound,
The leaping rivulet backward rolled,
The birds came down from bush and tree,
The dead came from beneath the sea,
The maiden to the harper's knee !
The Musician, however, is the dead weight on the
bOok,llii head is filled with romance from his north.
ern country, and, though " his language is not
speech," he inflicts twenty-two poems (occupying
nearly a hundred pages out of two hundred) under
the general title of 1 ' The - Saga of King Olaf," upon
his patient auditors. It does not appear how many
of them were awake when the conclusion came.
Mr. Longfellow says of "The Birds of Killing-
Worth," that
The Landlord's - eyes were closed in sleep,
And near the story's end a deep
Sonorous sound at times - was heard,
As when the distant bagpipes blow.
At this all laughed; the Landlord stirred,
As one awaking from a swound,
And, gazing anxiously around,
Protested that he had not slept,
But only shut his eyes; and kept
His ears attentive to each word. .
We suspect that the snore came in during the re-
Mal of the " Saga of King Olaf." Seriously speak
ing, this part of the tale is tedious; and however
carefully the form of Norwegian poetry be here pre
served, those used to the rhyme and rythm of our
own minstrels will regard much of this Saga as
only measured prose.
In the Prelude, where the musician is introduced
as playing, it is said:
Erect the rapt musician stood ;
And ever and anon he bent
His head upon his instrument, .
And seemed to listen, till he caught
Confessions of its secret thought,—
The joy, the triumph, the lament,
. The exultation, and the pain ;
'non, by the magic of his art,
He soothed the throbbings of its heart,
And lulled into peace again.
This too much reminds us of Scott's description,
in the " Lay of the Last Minstrel," of the harper's
first essay before the Duchess of Buccleugh
Amid the strings his fingers strayed, •
And an uncertain warbling made,
And oft he shook hie hoary head.
But when he caught the measure wild,
The old man raised his face, and smiled ;
And lightened up his faded eye,
With all a poet's ecatacy,
In varying cadence, soft or strong,
He swept thesounding chords along ;
The present scenes, the futhre lot,
His toils, his wants, were all forgot
Cold diffidence and age's frost
In the full tide of song were lout.
We have to thank Mr. Longfellow, despite of the
rather wearisome " Saga," for a great deal of
pleasure. The finest portions of what he has here
given to the world are the prologue which intro
&Millie story-tellers and the delightful interludes
which connect and introduce, and sometimes ex
plain, the various poems. We predict that gentle
eyes will be tear-dimmed over the -delicate senti
ment of " The Falcon of Ser Federigo," and that
the deep tragic feeling of " Torquemada " will
touch many hearts with terror and indignation.
Under the title of "Birds of Passage ; Flight the
Second," Mr. Longfellow- has appended seven
`lyrics, some of which we have read before and have
by heart. That natural hearth-song, "The Chil
dren's Heim," leads the van. " The Cumberland ,'
is a sea-ode which Campbell might have been fond
of—a strain-that can never die.
" KUBDER WILL CDT."—E. C. Morris, a wealthy
citizen of Madison, 111., has been arrested, charged
with murdering a man nearly nine years ago. The
street was made on, the affidavit of E. C. Clark.
The Illinois State Register gives the following particu-
lars of the case:
In 1865, Clark and Morris were out hunting
- together, and Clark's testimony is that they came
across amen in the woods, and that Morris drew up
his. gun and shot him. Tie two together then
buried the murdered victim,
and took a solemn oath
never to revel the secret. The oath has been kept
for nearly nine years. But " murder will out."
AClark'a conscience continued to cryout against him,
and disturb him with visions of ghosts by night, and
compunctions of dread and horror by day. He
could stand it no longer, and hence the oath-bound
Secret, so long locked up in his troubled breast, was
•published to the world. ok
Morris, now the murder has been exposed, as
cuses Clark of having committed tlie foul deed, but
admits that he helped to bury the victim, and that
..they had sworn together never to reveal the secret.
It is said that Morris and Clark recently quarreled
about some business matters, and that Clark made
the expose on this account.
After the preliminary examination before the jus
tice of the peace,Clark and Morris both pointed out
the place where they had buried the murdered man.
His bones were found and exhumed. The name of
the unfortunate victim has not yet been learned.
We have also heard that the murdered man was a
,kind of railroad contractor, and that he had in his
",possession at the time of his death some $7,000,
'which was divided between the two, but as to its
COttectnelli we cannot say.

NEW RAILROAD ROUTE.—The first
through train from New York to Washington pulled
over the new route on Monday last, and regular
trains will continue to run both ways everyday..
The connection is made in coming from New:York
over the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad with.
the Richmond branch of the Reading Railroad, and
thence across and down the of the Schuylkill'
to the Junction Railroad, and over that until it
connects with the Pennsylvania Railroad, and by
this Means reaches the Baltimore road.
The Camden and Amboy, Philadelphia and Baal
1110re and Baltimore and 'Ohio Railroad Companies,
commenced last spring to lay down the new track,
and to make all the necessary improvements at the
various stopping places along the route. From the,
arrangements which have been made by the several
companies, passengers, on taking the six-o'clock
train at Jersey City, will arrive in Washington by
fouro'clock the next morning, without being obliged
to change cars.
_ •
The New Jersey Transportation Companies have
been recently re-fitting their road by laying down
new sleepers and rano, and securing the latter to
such an extent, that no danger need be apprehended
on account of giving away. They {have also built
six splendid passenger oars, the interiors of which
are supplied with all the modern improvements.
These care, which will compose a part of one train,
are to be lighted with gas. Five additional first-r
class locomotives (coal burners) have recently been
constructed, at a coat of fourteen thousand dollars a
piece, which will be able to run at a speed of forty
miles an hour, including the various stoppages.
The distance from New Brunswick, by the Cam
den and Amboy Company's road, as now straighten
ed, to the Delaware river, is twenty seven miles ;
thence to Frankford, the point of divergence of the
connecting railroad" (three miles above the pre
sent terminus, at Kensington), is twenty-five miles;
thence by the new route now in course of construe.
tion to West Philadelphia, where it conneeta with
the Baltimore line. This new branch is eight miles
in length, about one•quarter of which is already
completed. The use, temporarily, of a portion of
the Reading and Pennsylvania Railroads, will'give
a continuous railroad connection from the Hudson
to the Susquehanna river.
The new bridge over the Schuylkill will be built
in the most subatantal manner, and, in connection
with the Additional track, will cost one million of
dollars. , The line between New Brunswick and
Trenton (which is almost mathematically straight)
is being graded for a double track. One line $ rails
was laid last week; the other will be laid as soon as
possible. The road between Trenton and Philadel
-phis is being graded for a second track, which will
be laid as soon as the iron (ordered some months
ago) can be procured. When these improvements,
and those now in progress agreed to be made by the
companies between Philadelphia and Washington,
are completed, there will be a continuous line of
double-track railroad from the Hudson to the Foto- -
mac on the south, and the Ohio on the west.
The extraordinary difficulty of procuring rails, and
other materials, and the great scarcity of labor, have
prevented the completion of these improvements
pertaining to the Camden and Amboy !Railroad, as
noon as intended.
In future, New York passengers, who have always
been obliged to go by the way of Camden in going to
Washington, will branch off about three miles, and
go around instead of passing through this city.
The number of cars recently built for the new line
are thirty six being owned by the New Jersey
Transportation Company, six by the Camden and
Amboy Company, twelve by the Philadelphia and
Baltimore Company, and six by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company.
PHILADELPHIA TO DARDY.—There are.
complaints, not without cause, of the bad condition
of the road from Market street, West Philadelphia,
to the Blue Bell, at Darby, which ought to be one of
the beet drives in the city. The tolls, to and back,
for a two•horee vehicle, are eighteen cents, and this
ought to keep the road in prime condition, firm as a
stone floor, and smooth as a bowling-green. Most
of this road, if not the whole, is owned by the Phila
delphia and Darby Plank. road Company. Coe-half
the road ought to be maintained by,the Passenger
Railwty Company, as the dividend has been 10 to
n per cent. The other half should be kept in good
condition by the toll received, particularly as they
raked the toll not long ago. Every now and then,
with unpleasant frequency, one's carriage wheels
get sunk in deep ruts. Here and there it would seem
as if spasmodic attempts had been made by the road
company to mend their ways, but a few loads of
small gravel, mixed with soil or sand, only make
deeper abysms of sludge and mud. If the road is not
put into good order it may be a question whether
the public ought to pay toll upon it. Some one
should try the question.
UNITED STATES CHRISTIAN COMMISSION
- _
—THANKSGIVING APPEAL POE THE NATION'S'DE
PENDERS.—To the Ministers and Churches of our Lord
Jesus Christ, throughout the Loyal States:
The President has invited the observance of
-Thursday, the 26th of November, as a day of Thanks
giving to God for the mercies of the year..
Amongst the greatest of these mercies are the
abundance bestowed on us at home, and the success
vouchsafed in the field.
The United States Christian Commission, as a
great national agency' between the home and the
field, appeals to you in behalf of our country's de
fenders, for Thanksgiving-day collections. Contri
butions of clothing and comforts, as well as of mo
ney, are needed.
Aware of the excellent custom in many of the
churches of making collections for the poor on that
day, the Commission would not make this appeal but
for the urgent necessity of caring for the soldiers, es
pecially for our suffering heroes in prison, in Rich
mond, destitute of clothing, sick, and without suffi
cient food to sustain life. The Christian Commis
sion-has obtained access to them, and forwards daily
large quantities of hams, dried beef, farina, con
densed milk, -- tea, sugar,
coffee, beef tea, tonic
and anti-scorbutic medicines, testaments, hymn
books, and newspapers. Our own officers in Rich
mond aoknowledge the arrival and distribution of
these stores. Returned prisoners confirm the fact.
There is no interruption of these facilities to the. Chris
tian Commission. Geri. -Meredith yesterday tele
graphed positively, No goods have been refused."
Your people will thank you for affbrding them the
opportunity, on Thanksgiving Day, of contributing
food for the bodies and - souls of those suffering he
roes.
Such churches as may not hold service thanks
giving day are requested to take the best opportuni
ty, before or after that day, to present the matter
and gather the contributions of the people. Some
ohur ches are without ministers to - stir up their pure
minds by way of remembrance. In these let the
officers or some friend or the cause take it in hand.
Let no church fail of giving its contributions. The
urgency is great. The call is instant. The want is
immense. A million of men in hospital and camp,
and on shipboard wait in perishing need. The en
couragement to give is wonderful. FrOITL every
field our delegates returning tell us of their glad
welcomes, of suffering , relieved, lives slaved, and
souls converted to God. Never was there such a har
vest offered to the Church.
The Commission, at its late general meeting, felt
constrainedlo devise plans for enlarging its work.
Measure have been, vigorously entered ' upon by
which, if the source of supply does not fail, the men
at the front, in every department on the vast field of
conflict, and those inevery hospital and camp of the
army and navy, will be reached. '
Fill up the fountain. Flood the enlarged channels.
Send us liberal, noble thanksgiving remembrances
e for the absent, brave, suffering ones. We will con
vey them, nothing diminished, and bring back their
glad and grateful blessings to you. Contributions
may be sent to the treasurer of the Commission.
Joseph Patterson, Esq., at Western Bank, Phila
delphia, or to the Treasurer of the nearest local com
mittee. Geo. H. Stuart, Chairman. E. S. Janes,

tary.
MurnorAL FINANCES.—The Finance
committee of Councils have completed their esti
mates for the coming year. Upon them the annual
appropriations will be based and the tax rate fixed.
The committee's report will be submitted to Coun
cils at their next meeting. The liabilities of the
city for 1864 will amount to $6,660,436.91. The esti
mated expenses amount to $4,809,263 27. The out
standing warrants, on November 1 1 1863, amounted
to $628,270.97. The cash balance in the treasury,
November 1, was $89,670.63. Estimated receipts of
registered taxes,; $427,000. Estimated receipts from
sources other than taxes, $1,059,386 90. The amount
required to be raised by taxation is $3,700,426.71

DISGRACEFUL FIGHT.—An , Erie&Malli
named Benet, and an Irishman, named Martin, had
.19 personal or pitched fight, yesterday morning, on
the Wiesahiokon, about three miles above the sta.
tion, on the Norristown road, for the sum of three
hundred dollars. The place selected for this exhibi
tion of the "manly art" was Valley Green. It
was known seveal ks since that the fight was
to come o ff . T he re
region of Darby, Delaware
Count was mentioned as . the spot where the
m disfiguration and' pummelling of the
"mug " of the contestants were to , take place.
Police arrangements were made to Intercept
the parties, but the tette; outgeneraled ,the law
officers by proceeding in a contrary direction. They
started in carriages, from different parts of the city,
and thus did not attract attention. The place where
the fight occurred is not under the police regulation
of Philadelphia. , • •
The ring was hastily formed, and the parties en
tered it at twenty minutes before 9 o'clock, and
fought 23 rounds, occupying one hour and fifteen
minutes. On the 24th round, Senat Blipped, struck
a foul blow by accident, and "went down" without
receiving one. This ended the fight.- Martin was
claimed as the victor. This was conceded at once,
.and the party, numbering about four hundred, re
turned by the same conveyance in which they had
reached the field of contest.

THE RICHMOND PRISONERS' MEETING.—
In another column will be found a programme of the
great Union Thanksgiving Meeting in the Church of
the Epiphany, on Thursday evening. It is quite
Unnecessary to excite interest in Ws meeting. The
facts that the Christian Commission was the first to
open the door and go in with relief to our suffering
heroes, that one of these sufferers will address the
meeting, and that distinguished speakers of all
classes and sects will unite in.their expressions of
sympathy with these brave men, will, doubtless,
produce such a response of substantial aid from
Philadelphia as will stimulate other cities to emu
lation in benevolence.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
D. S. District Court—Judge Cadovalader
United States of America vs. Henry L. Acker,
George Lawer, and Francis Alstall. This was an
action of debt to recover from defendants a balance
alleged to be due on an account rendered to the
Post Office Department. Mr. Acker was an assist
ant postmastmaster in Schuylkill county, under
Buchanan, and the other defendants were sureties
on his official bond, dated September, 1860, for the
sum of '$6 ; 000, conditioned for the faithful perform
ance of te dutiei of the office by Mr. Acker, and
a compliance with the instructions of the Depart
ment as to the rendering of quarterly accounts,
and it is now alleged that Mr. Acker has not settled
his accounts, and that there is still a balario of
$1,390.28 due the Government. In this balance
there is an item of $l,OOO reinstated in the account
for postage-stamps, Mr. Acker having claimed cre
dit for them, alleging that they were destroyed, and
the Post Office Department refusing the credit and'
averring fraud.
The Government had testimony_ to show that
while in office Mr. Acker borrowed money, and gave
his note, with a quantity of postage stamps as col
14eral security. On trial.

zel, deceased. An action on a mortgage. Verdict
for plaintiff, by agreement, for $729.
Merrick & Sons vs. Edward Oliver. An action to
recover the value of two centrifugal machines, menu
actured for and furnished to defendant. The de
fence alleged that the machines were defective and
requited the outlay of some money to put them in
order. The plaintiffs allege that the sum mamed
was too much; that defendant should have notified
them and they could have removed the defect ; that
no complaint was made to them. - Verdict for plain
tiffs for $344.65. -
Edward A. Starkey vs. Benjamin flown. This
was an action to recover damages for injuries sus
tained by plaintiff, a • boy of about nine or ten years
of age. In February last, the little fellow was sit
ling upon a step when the defendant passed :along'
in a milk wagon. The boy playfully cried out,
"twenty quarts fora penny." This exasperated the
defendant, who is a young man of about twenty
years, and he Threatened to whip him. The little
fellow jumped up and was about to run away, when
the defendant caught him by the ears and lifted him
from his feet, and then dashed him against a fence.
The boy had a stout rod in his hand at the time; and
this the defendant took from him and administered
a beating to the lad. The lifting of the boy by his
ears has had the effect of making him deaf, shortly
after the injuries were inflicted, the ears began to
discharge blood, &c.,and a physician has been in at
tendance ever since but theboyis hearing is nearly
gone, and his mind impaired. When the boy's mo
ther came out and remonstrated with the defendant
on account of his brutality; he made an insulting
reply to her, and when she said she was disposed to
prosecute him, he "dared" her to do so. One of the
witnesses who saw the occurrence testified that the
little fellow Was striking his stick on the step of the
house where defendant was . serving milk, and the
"man came out and took the boy by the ears and
threw him down and then kicked him.
The defence showed that Mr. nown had already
been convicted in the Quarter Sessions, and obliged
to pay $3O. and costs. The jury rendered a verdict
for plaintiff for

Ann Kelly, Johanna Condon, Johanna Creighton,
and Kate TObin, all residing in Dannaker's' court,
in the vicinity of Third "and Race streets, were ar
raigned yesterday before the police magistrate of the
Fifth ward. '- They were arrested by Constable Hur
ley on the charge of stealing lumber,. It seems that
Mr. Bernard fialulneman, fehurrier, is havino• ' some
improvements made to his manufactory at a 9 North
Third street. Almost every morning oak ,joist and
other valuable timber, used in .the construction of
the building mere missed. Suspicion fell upon the
residents of Dannaker's court. A search-warrant
was - taken out, and Mr. HuisernarPs property afore
said was found in the cellars of houses Nos. 1, S, 10,
and 11.- The adult inmates were arrested, and they
aubmitted their respective names to be docketted as
above stated..
- Several carpenters and, other men working at the
manufactory fully and clearly identified the pro
perty- recovered. It in valued a,t nearly' one hurt
drefidollars.' The - prinoners were required to enter
bail in the inrin. of $6OO each to answer at court. •
Attempt,to Itfurder a Durtom-house Officer.
A man named Daniel Anderson was arraigned yes
terday, before the same-magistrate, on the charge of
committing, assault and battery upon Thomas
Chadwieki amightinepector of customs. While Mr.
Chadwick was'standing on Delaware avenue; below
Spruee'street;'wisiting for the lieutenant to, come and
relieve him,rat twelve n'clock.on' Monday night, he
saw two men come - out of an alley, who ran as
fast -as they could down-the avenue. Presently
another man came out and followed them. As he
approached Chadwick the latter asked him if there
was anYthing theniatter.
"Yes," replied the "stranger;: "those two men
robbed me." .
"Why
• -
didn't you give alarm I" replied Chad
wick ; "then I would have headed them off."
" Which way did they go I"
" Down the avenue " replied Mr. Chadwick.
The man started oil;, and the custom-house officer
remained;' waitiug the. arrival of the lieutenant
Presently the man who alleged `that thathe hod been
robbed returned, and accosted.i.lbedWlCk air follows:
"I believe , you're one of the thieves." -
".You are mistaken.""
"Well, I believe.you are."
"ham not ;• never saw you before."
" Well, I believe you are, and you, kill
Pil
you."
Suiting the action to the word, he made a fero
cious attack upon custom-house officer, and cut
two gashes in his face with a knife, and also out
through`lin thick pilot-cloth coat,' in several places.
The struggle now betante one of desperation, which
finally resulted in. the capture of the man who•had
thus' made such a villainous attack. He was com
mitted in default .of $l,OOO bail to answer the charge
of assault and battery:with intent to kill.

been hired by a young.man the day before, for the
alleged purpone of taking paid, young man to Ger
