Outrageous Assauh upon John C. lie Grand, Esq,

Mr.. EDITOR =
1t Is with deep regret inform you that alerca-
ton took place on Wednesday afternoon last, on the
steps leading into the State House at Annapolis, be-
tween John c. LIE Grand Esq, Secretary of State,
and person named Townley Loockerman, in which
Mr.. lie Grand received several severe and danger.
Gus wounds appears that MIR. Legrand was return
ing from dinner, when Loockerman attacked him by
obtrudng himself in his way, and endeavoringto OBJ.
struct his entrance into the State House. Here blow
was made by Loockcrman at Mr.. Legrand, which he
parried returning the same time that feled his
antagonist Loockerman, at this juncture, immedi-
atey drew his dirk and made the first stab, which
took effect in Mr. Legrand's thigh, and he fell
Whilst thus PROSTATE, he received two other stabs
one on the ribs, and another in the abdomen. The
extent of the latter wound was not known: Mr.. Lee
grand thought il not dangerous, though the physl-
clans In attendance had gwen no opinion. 1t Is
stated that Drs Buckler, Smith, and some others OF
our most eminent physicians, have been sent for
We learn that Loockerman has entained hostile
feeling for some cause or other, supposed 10 De

Mr.. Legrand. AT present we cannot pretend to give
the true of the difficulty. The impression is,
however, that it was wholly unprovoked upon the
part of Mr. Legrand
Mr.. LIE Grand, as you may be sure, lsa native Of
Baltimore, and young gentleman highly esteemed
for his talents and other gentlemanly qualities. The
true cause of the difficulty has not been ascertained
The general impression Is, that the attack was alto

Loockermon, soon after perpelrating the offence
fled, but am pleased to learn, has since been cap
tured and imprisoned in the Annapolis Jail, to answer
at the tribunal of justice for his rashness. The
latest news is that Mr.. LIE Grand remains in grea
pain, and is considered dangerously wounded.

Moses H. Ogden vs. John Woodruf The plaintiff
had factory and resided at Elizabethtown, N. J.,
and also kept cabinet store at 146 Fulton street. in
thus city; The defendant is of the firm of Woodruff
~ Co, dry goods dealers, Elizabethtown. The pre-
sent Is an action OF Trover to recover two splendid
couches, valued at $40, which it is averred was
fraudently obtained by defendant. II appeared Ia
evidence that on the 25th April last Mr.. Woodruff
went TO plaintiffs store and told the young man in
charge of it that he had agreed with Mr. Ogden for
the purchase ofthe couches that the clerk wouo
deliver then to him. The young man for some time
refused to do so without an order, but finally was
prevailed upon by the representations made by
Woodruff. Mr. Ogden denied having made anv
such agreement, discharged the young man for de-
livering contrary to the rules of the store, and
brought suit. On the part of the defence il wa.
shown that Mr.. Ogden was indebted to defendant to
the amount of 300 or $500. The counsel for plaintiff
stated that the defendant suspectng his client was
about to fail, put in motion what was called 'gral
law" that is, getting all he could by whatever
means, The jury gave verdict in favor of plaintiff
for 800.
