Mcrper at Grass Vaairy.—Mr. James
MI. M. Wright was stabbed: and instantly killed, at Grass Valley, last Saturday evening, by
a man named Thos. Burke, As-tte particulars
juve been related to us, it wasw cold-blooded
murder. Wright was standingin Terrill’s sajoon with several others, when Burke came in
and rubbed against him. He then turned and
rubbed against him asecond titne, and according to some statements, stepped on his toes.
Wright, speaking very mildly, snid, “Go slow,
go slow,” as much as to tell him to desist.
Burke, addressing Wright, said, *+I’ll bet $300
you are & gut;” Wright answered, “If lama
gitI can seratch.” Upon this, Burke drew
knife with his left hand and plunged it to
Wright's heart, leaving the weapon in his body,
Wright stood a moment, then gradually settled
down upon his hands and knees, when the knife
dropped from the wound and he fell dead on the
door, He neyer spoke after receiving the
wound. As soon as Burke had accomplished
the hellish deed he grabbed for his pistol, but
before he could draw it, Mat. Rinkle, who was
standing by knocked him down with a spittoon,
and he was secured. He was committed to jail
the next day, having waived an examination,
Mr. Wright was about twenty-five years of age,
and formerly resided near Ripley, Jackson Co.,
Virginia. He was engaged iw the quartz busiacss at Grass Valley. Burke was formerly a
resident of Pittsburg, Pa.; Ke eame to Grass
Valley sometime last week, in company with
one Harry Blair, alias Thompsoa, and both are
said to be escaped convicts. Burke was sent to
the State Prison for the Chieo vobbery, and
had four years to serve. He and Blair escaped!
sometime since on ascow. Duriag the evening of the murder Blair had been gambliag and
lost considerable money, andit is supposed that
Burke, aggravated by their losses, came iitto
the saloon, with the intention of killing some
one, and Wright being the first man he came
across was made the victim. Wright, we are
informed was a stranger to Burke and his partner, and had never had anything to do witlr
either of them.

To Correspondents.—Patients residing in

lattey as pronaptly as possible. If the case be fully
and'candidly described, personal comuvunications

and the general treatment of the case itself, (including the remedies,) will be forwarded without delay,
