Dangerously Wounded.- -Oliver F. Taylor, a dentist, is now in the jail of New Kent county, charged with stabbing with intent to kill, Thomas Q. Gilliam. The parties met at Franklin's store, about six miles from the court house, on Saturday last, and engaged in a game of dominos.

Gave G. a blow in the face, and drawing a bowie knife, gave him three stabs in the left side, one of which penetrated the lung. Mr. Gilliam was thought to be in a critical condition yesterday, though hopes are entertained of his recovery. The prisoner will undergo an examination on 22nd the Inst.
