Last evening, about half-past 7 o'clock,

Mrs. Hill had been for some months support
ing herself by going out to service. Last
evening her husband called npon her, and
being refused money which he demanded,
drew a dirk knife and plunged
it into the side of the
woman, and then fled. In his flight he
threw away the knife. He was arrested a few
minutes afterwards in the neighborhood, and
the knife was found in Hunter street. Dr.
Cooper was called in to attend the wounded
woman, and he pronounced her in a danger
ous condition, and by his advice she was re
moved to the Pennsylvania Hospital about 9
o'clock.
At the hospital Mrs. Hill gave her version
of the affair, that she had given her husband .
money in the afternoon to purchase what she
understood was to be a butcher knife, but
that instead of this he bought the dirk. In
the evening, when he came to demand more
money, he made a proposition to her that she
should earn money in an infamous way, and
npon her resenting, she was stabbed as be
fore stated. Mrs. Hill is about 17 years of

records of extant and extinct peerages shows
that one-fifth of the heiresses have no mata
children at all; a full third have not more
than one child; three-fifths have not more
than two. It ban been the salvation of many

ess whom he first married, and was able to
leave issue by a second wife. There are

this statement in English society at the pre
sent time. Mrs. Lloyd Lindsay, only child of
