! Riddle since the veto message has reuoanr
ed Jackson, and is now decided opponent
OF his re election.
From The Ctillicothe Ga>ctte, Sent. 5.
About O'Clock on Friday night last,
Mr. James Heath. young man who resides
m his fathers family about ten miles of this
place. went 10 the house of Mrs Lucas, a
near neighbor, where young lady resides
and deliberately shot her with his rife in
| which he had put two balls. ProvdeniiaIly,
however, ia cievating the piece to the win-
dow through he fired its mu2zle struck the
| glass, which caused the young lady TO move
from the position in which she was reclining
at the moment OF tinc he took his aim and
thus escaped with her HE, though not with.
! out having received both balls one between
TIE thumb and fore finger Of the left hand
and me other through The same arm above
| Inc elbow, which caused painful fracture Of
TIE os huDiejT. We learn that SHE is dong
wen, and Is Iiseiy soon 80 recover. We can
not avoid mentioning here, as an extraordi-
nary example OF female presence OF mind,
| mai immediately after receiving the ire OF
hef attempted assassin, the young lady blew
cut the candle 10 escape second assault I'D
on her iiiei
There was no grown persons in the house
but Mrs Lucds,who relIeated up stairs, and
| by her screams alarmed the surrounding
neighbors. But the most awful and fatal part
| OF tins bloody tragedy, yet remains TO be told
NO sooner had VIZ. IL fred npon Miss Hoo
yer. and as he supposed, killed her, than he
lied to bis fathers barn yard, short distance
from The house, and there reluaaed his rife
deliberately laid down en- his back-placed
the uiuzzle of The piece under his chin fol
ded the berse firmly in his arms - touched
the rIser WIFI one oi his feet, from which
nc had taken the lrrecauion 10 remove the
shoe and STOCKING, discharged the whole
loading into his head. so eaeciualy did he
perform the horrible deed, that il is believed
he never moved after II. as he was found IN
tue same posiuon an WHICH he must have
laid down
The only cause alleged for The perpetta,ion
OF this inhumane CRIME is, that the young
tnan had paid his addresses to the Young iSIy
who declined his proposals; and stang by the
modification Of disappointment he resorted
TO the dreadful eypedient which he did to re-
venge MS hopeless attachment. We under
stand lie sustained through The neghborkood
the character OF an honest, industrious and
respectable citizen.
