  Notes: Outrageous Assault.–A man named Bannerman, a German shoemaker residing in Old town, was assaulted in the most outrageous manner by a party of demoralizing brutes, about ten o’clock on Monday night. Not content with giving him blow after blow, and inflicting a cut in the throat with a sharp instrument, they knocked him down, and one of the party jumped upon him repeatedly in the most brutal manner. He had just left the house of Mr. Louis Weaver when he was attacked. He was taken to his residence, and, under the direction of Dr. Whitridge, will doubtless recover all his animal functions.

  Arrest of a Fugitive Slave in Philadelphia

  PHILADELPHIA, Thursday, Sep. 15

  WILLIAM SPRIGGS, a fugitive slave, claimed by Dr. JOHN WHITRIDGE, of Baltimore, was arrested here this afternoon by a young man of 18, a son of the celebrated GEO. F. ALBERT. A hearing was had before Commissioner INGRAHAM, when the fugitive acknowledged that he was a slave, and refused to have counsel. A warrant was therefore made out, and the slave started for home with his master. There was no excitement, and no colored persons present at the hearing.

  Notes: Sad Accident from the Use of Fire-Arms.–An accident occurred on Sunday afternoon on High st., near Hillen, by which a boy named Francis Shaw, aged about sixteen years, had his left hand blown off. He was playing with a loaded pistol, which, by some accident, exploded, the whole charge going through his hand. Officer Hays, who was near by, took the lad to the office of Dr. Whitridge, where the wound was dressed, after which he was removed to the residence of his parents in Exeter street. It is thought the hand will have to be amputated.
