. Shooting Affray In St. Louis.
In dt. Louis recently, John C. Heron was
so shockingly stabbed that a fatal result, it
is feared, will ensue from the injuries he has
received Qn Sunday afternoon, Heron
and a man named John Einnefiy and twe
other men whose names are unknown, were
playing at the "pigeon" game at the Branch
saloon, wheh a quarrell arose between the
two former, which led to a feeling of deadly
hatred in the mind of Kinneff against Heron.
The latter left the saloon about half past 6
o'clock, accompanied by a man named Den
nis O'Brien. ; They were followed at a dis
tance by Kinneff and a man named Patrick
O'Brien. They wentfo a stable near Mrs.
Kate O'Brien's boarding bouse, where 'He
ron boarded,;, and afterwards went into a
neighboring, bouse, t When they come out,
Dennis O'Brien stood on the sidewalk and
Heron went into Mrs. O'Brien's. After- a
time, O'Brien heard a noise, an d on going
to see what was the matter, found Kinneff
and Patrick O'Brien qtiarrellnig with He
ron. Tbe' latter endeavored to get away
from them, ' and ran into the kitchen,' but
they pursued'4ini and the assault began.
Heron was knocked on a bed in the room,
and, although nearly jail the stabbing took
place there, ther parties present cannot say
whether any wounds were inflicted upon
him while on the bed. It is probable, how
ever, that he was stabbed while in this help
less position. He was thrown from the bed
into tbe corner of the room, where he was
stabbed many- times. By some 'means he
managed to get into the next room; or. was
dragged in by his -assailants who did not
cease to attack him. In addition to Dennis
O'Brien; Mrs. O'Brien ahd a daughter were
present, and endeavored to save Heron. ' An
effort was made by them to posh him out
of the window, but they could not succeed

What tbe Birds Said.
A gentleman whose modesty was too great
for his happiness, was one day going through
the wood with a lady, to whom he longed
but feared, to offer his hand and his heart.
He bad schemed' and maneuvered enough
for ten diplomatists to draw her away alone
from the picnic where they had met, and
now he durst not speak for the life of him.
But the silence had ' become embarrassing,
and at 'last ventured upon a hint.
"HarkP he cried, suddenly stopping, Vdo
you not hear that beautiful bird singing ?"
"Yes," said the lady.
"Do you not catch what he says' 1 love
you! I love you 1' as plainly as possible.'
"Dear me how; odd 1" replied she:
they walked on silently for a little distance.
Presently the lady in her tnrn stopped and
said, "how funny I Do you hear what the
other bird says I"
"No; what I" asked the man.
"Why it seems to me say 'Show it I Show
it! ShowitP" .
That landed him.
