ATTEMPT AT MURDER Deputy Sheriff

\ bold and most daring attempt to take the
life of Deputy Sheriff John II. Smith, of Iir-
ingston, was made in Taghkanic on Saturday
afternoon last. Smith left home in the morn
ing TO attend the sale of some property which
he had levied upon, belonging to George |.
Finkle. on an execution in favor of Mr.. Vicks.
for his oxen, which had been shot. No sale,
however, took place. Mr. Smith proceeded
from thence to Philip r. Niller's house. and
about mile from Yager's tavern. while dri-
wing past small patch of pine weed, t,vo,m
stepped out, guns in hands, and deliberately
fired at him. One ball passed through tho
wooden dashboard of his Wagon, which il g.
bout half an inch thick, and entered his thigh.
and has since been cut cut; the other ball
struck him in the right breast, passing through
and lodging in his shoulder, infietinn dan
gerous IT not mortal wound. Mr. Smith, We
understand, IS in very critical position, and
strong doubts are entertained of his recovery.
