One day last week, a blind man amusing himself in Second Street with a harp, was teized by some unlucky boys who broke the strings of his harp, &c. he by way of keeping them off flourished his walking stick, whereby he struck one of them, a lad of 18 or 19 years of age, on the breast, which together with his fall, put an end to his life after languishing a short time. The blind man was committed to jail. |
