Two men, Oliver Oihson, the victim, and Jacob Hirscb, a triend, were driving up the WisBBhickon turnpike early in the evening, tbe time being a little alter 8 o'clock. Coming to the toll-gate at the junction of the Beading and YYis.tuhickon pikes, the carriage halted a moment, and then Ulli-ou, lor some inexplicable reason, exclaimed, "Drive on 1" Tne horse sinned agatn, the gate-keeper, who is almost as deaf as a rok, eudeavonug to de tain him. He did not succeed in thii cil'ort, and so the party drove on ubout three hundred and hity jaras, when they again halted. The point at which this last stop was made, was but a few feet this side 01 the boundary line between tbe city and Montgomery county. Ollion and liirnch bdtk alighted, the former rema ning to watch the horse, while the latter statted back towards the gate, intending to pay the toll, betore reaching the gate he encoun tered three men, and inquired it one ot them was the gate-keeper. The reply was in the negative, and Hirsch continued walking towards the toll-gate. Betore he had cone much further he heard a scuffle, and the cry that some one was bleeding to death, llirsch turned about at once, and about htty yards from the place where had left OlliHou staudiug with the horse he found his dead body. The wounded man had not been killed on the instant, but was able to stagger this lar, as whs shown by the ziczag course 01 blood with which the ground was prinlcti. He fell to the earth near the gate of a dwelling-house, through the open doorway of which he saw a light. Ashe tell, be ciied out "Hold me," or "save me." Tne gentleman living in the house, on running to the gate, turned the fallen man over and lound nim to be quite dead. The three men whom Jacob Hirsch encoun tered as he was proceeding back to tbe toll-gate, were named respectively, Pbilip Stile, Thomas Pugan, and Michael Teeven. The last of the three, at leust, was in a drunken condition. In the aiternnon be had taken Stile home to supper with him, and while at the nouse had shown him a large dirk knile, tbe blade ot which was six inches in length. home time during the previous winter, Teeven had shown this same knife to Stile, and invited him to purchase it. When Teeven ieit his house last evening he is supposed to have carried this knife with him, intent on mischief of some kind. When the three men reached the spot where tillison stood. Teeven drew his dirk, and made a lunge at him, iullictiug a large aud deep wouud behind the ear, and revering the csrotid arterw As Teeven struck the blow, he cried out, "Do vou want any more?" or words to that effect. He then leit for parts unkno n. The alarm was soon given and the police attracted to the spot. They took Stile and Fauan into custody and removed the bodv ot the murdered man to the Station House. At an early hour tin.- morulne. Detective Levi pro ceeded to Chcflnut Hill aud at once instituted proceedings wn'ch it is believed will soon briuer the asiiHAhiu to bay. This Michael Teeven is an Irishmau by birth, having first seen the light in the county Cavin, on the 20th ot September, 137. He is five leet nine inches iti heieht, of medium build, with a smooth, slender, dark-complexioned face, ana weighs about ltio pounds. Oliver Ollison, the victim of this cold-blooded deed, was a stout, heavv man, of middle aae. He was a milkraau by profession, and resided at Twelltn and Mmle streets. At 11 o'clock Coroner Taylor viewed the bodv, and Dr. Shapleigb commenced the post mortem examination. Alury was itnpaunclled, an1 the iuquPst was then adjourned until to morrow morning. This was rendered necessary by the multitu dinous engagements ol Coroner Taylor, for whom the warm weather and bad whijv together have made enough work of late to keep halt a dozen ordinary men busy.

Tbs saenta transacted the business quietly, and the utmost secrecy was preset ved in ad their move men's.

MAXIMILIANS AGISTS OH TUB ALBRT. The noveltv of arms beingsh'pped in th"se "piping times of peace" at one of the North river piers soon treated intense curiosity among those who wcrs aware of the facts, and rumors ot tbe occurrence soon flew fast and wide.

Continued from Evening Telegraph of Saturday. The warm kindness of the girl was not to be borne down. I ate to gratify her, and was re freshed. The fire was kept burning, and the can of water boiling, in expectation of my hus band's return. My watch had stopped, and we could not mark 'he time. I sat on a box with a shawl over my bead, leaning it against the side ot the fireplace, overpowered with fatigue, and doziue, letting Bridget come and to unques-. nnned. iTescniiy we were startled t? a loud knock, and in a tew moments my husband en tered, with the tidings that the furniture had not arrived, and was not likely to do so before morning. "We'll lust have to sit up then all night; any how, we've got some coal," said Bridget, undi's maved by the piospect, and Dually proceeding to pour out some tea; and thou pushing the bread and butter towards him, said, "Sure it's that'll cheer ye up." My husband looked first at one, then at the other, then at the tea, and burst into an uncon trollable fit of langliter. The empty house rung with his hilarity. His mirth was catching, for Bridget looked cheerily up, saying, "It might be worse." 1 "True, Bridget, for we have only to picnic In an empty house Instead ot in the green wood In a thunder-storm," This seemed rather beyond Bridget's compre hension; for she instuntly asked: "But how'll the missis sleep?" "Very well, my good girl; but what will you do?" "I'll Just make a fire in the big room overhead. I can lie down aiore it till tbe morning." My husband pave her his thick wrapper, and alter, as she termed, "scttlin' the room" which we were in, she departed; and how thankful 1 was that her ctuery help had been given to me ! With wrappings and conversation and a bright tire, the early part of the night passed away; bHt tbe morning chill awakened us trom our uneasy slumbers before daylight. We could hear Bridget throw up a window, and soon she came to announce that a heavy wagon was lumbering np the road. The good news proved true. Our household goods bad at last arrived. Now 1 should again make a home. Exultation in the future swallowed up present discomfort. To enter into all the mishaps we endared. to enumerate our damstred lurniture, our battlings with those we employed "ti get a lair day's work lor a fair day's wages," and a thousand and one other disagreeables, not to mention the constant recurrence to our dally account of expenditure, would only render my narrative tiresome without benefiting any person. We will now pass over fix months; my husband did not become Richard Fenton's substitute in his office for a Ioniser period ; tbe practice was sold, and he went abroad. For some weeks Fred's health had failed blm, not sutficienily so as to call for advice, or to cause alarm, but still be seemed to have a disinclination to active exertion!". "Somethina oppresses me; I cannot throw it oil, Milly," said he. "and 1 bave need lor work." (So days and weeks went on, and at length another ltttte cherub was born to till the latter's pltu'H. "Now," thought I, "Bridaret's temper will be tried; if 1 do the work myself, I will have no thoughtless girl as help." On my re storation to my domestic dutie, one grave error I quickly fell into. The child was scarcely ever permitted to be out ot my arms, day or niaht. I had been a rea-onuble mother before: now husband, houst. servant, all, were neglected for my iniaut. Bridget was a good almost invaluable girl in carrying out orders, but had no faculty to contrive or think; indeed, the want of the latter power was herchiet failing, known as well to herself as to me. "If I had but the sinse to think !" was ber constant ex clamation. Hitherto our dinners had been neatly and nicely served, and our expenses kept with) u bounds. No washing nad been put out excepting so much as would amount to two fclulhntds n week; Bridget did the rest I ironed all but my husband's shirts; these I felt I was not accomplished enough in the art tor; and thus about a shilling a week was saved. At tirt-t my husband felt hurt at this exclusive devotion to my child, more particularly as it sensibly lniured the child's health, which was pining for want of the tiesh air. I could not give it; my own strength was insufficient for the burden ol carrying the babe. "Let Briduet take the child out this morn ing." said my husband, testliv. "Very well," I ssld, "as you like; but we must dine later it she does." "That will not signify, eo that the child gets heullh and vou relief." And so Brideet, not very reluotantly, was made head nurse for the time being. I always But-pected Patrick's proximity to our neighbor hood, and, from her excessive readiness tor the walk, in my inner mind I fancied he was not far distant, we usually dined at four o'clock; it was now one, and my last words were, "Bridget, recollect vou have not prepared lor the dinner; be sure you are at home at two." Three o'clock came, and Bridget had not returned. In my anxiety tor my babe, I thoueht nothing of my husband's meal, and, indeed, I am not sure that I could have cooked a dinner if I had desired to do so. Soon after three, Bridget en tered, with my boy sweetly asleep, and well w rapped up. I sa w at once no harm had come to it I wild, very crossly, "Bridget, where have you been t" "Ob, missus 1 I didn't think 'twas so late: but I'll soon see to the dinner;" and tbat was all that was done to it. The potatoes were half cooked, the meat soddened, cinders bad got imo the gravy, and the whole affair was de- , plornble. Time after time the same thing occurred, till even my husband's patient sweetness of temoer was fast giving way, and my own was becoming almost shrewish. I took myself seriously to task; how was this to be remedied? Expenses were getting ahead, too; substitutes of eggs or hncon were olten had recourse to, to cover up tbe deficiency of a dinner which was uneatable; extra tea had to be used lor the lack ot boiling water and forethought of mine, for Bridget , could not think this was her tailing. My hus band was, at the lime, engaged in reading up lor bis protcslon, and desired only to havo the house kept quiet, while at the same time good , and aigegilbie food, regularly served, was ab solutely necessary for his health, which hd ', ever been dependent upon extraneous clroutd stances, and. though not requiring to be nursed, , he bad no robustness to draw upon. 8omehow, , the baby bad turned our little world upside , down. Washing day was now a positive dis- t comfort, whereas before it was llttw seen or heeded; the muddle I had got aiyself into looked dangerous. I sat one evening with my bab asleep In my lap: my husband was in his studvj I was musing " on all my past lite, ami shuddering at the future. I felt the want of a kUher leading than 1 my own capricious will, and I prayed earnestly 1 even without moving or audible utterance as I had seldom prayed, tbat I might be led to ' do what was right: for I felt a dim conscious- ness that my husband's love was drifting away from me. In the tumult of my mind in the wietne&s of my desire I could see no ptuh ,
