MORE BLOODANUTMKR WASHINGTON COCNTY MAX I STAHBED.Froui our special correspondent at Sey*| ruour, we are in receipt of intelligence of I the stabhiug of Walter Rodman, Jr., of j Washington county, at Vallonia, in i Jackson couuty. It appears that Wal-j ter Rodman and his friends were at a j ball near a doggery which supplies Val-lonia with the ardent, and had continu- j ed the drinking process until their blood ; had reached the 6ghting-tever heat, when I j owe Thomas Hunsucker, who is also a resideut of Washington county, came on the con vivial scene, and joiued the party ' at the dance. jWalker Rodman und his jiarty deter- ( minelt;l to have some excitement, and proceeded to bring on a row. Huusuck- j er is not the man to go back on a prop- , osition for a stand up and knock down fight, mid Rodman's “foot is ou his na- ( live heath” where brick bats and bullets are the birds which sing in the air.— 1 Rodman precipitated matters, however, and, aided by his friends, was rapidly getting Hunsucker in right rig to be put in his “little bed,” when Hunsucker turned blood-sucker and began to operate on Rodman with a knife. He stabbed Rodman in three places; and while the wounded man’s injuries are not necessarily fatal, they are of a fearful character and may result in his death. Rodman's wounds were properly dressed, and at the time of last dispatch was doing as well as could be expected. He is a son of the late Walker B. Rodman, of Washington county, and a brother of John^Kodmau, who, our readers will remember, had a difficulty in Louisville, ami who afterward danced a jig on Col. Horace Heffren’a broad bread-basket on the Salem train, and beat his owu time on the said Colonel’s head.Hunsucker will be called to time.— Is'lgcr-Standard !
