loho"lng particulars OF of the most daring atempts
a murder ana ROBBERY, which has fallen under our no.
uce iately Mr B. q. Wade, keeper of a small con-
ectlohafy STORE on Main street. square or two below
the Union Hotel was aroused Christmas morning at an
early hour, by loud knocking at the front door He
arose, and without dressing himself stepned o the store

HIM TO waa moment till he could put on his clothes
as The weather was too cold to enable him to wait on
him without them.
The negro acquiescing in the propriety of this line of
conduct, Mr.. w. retreated INTO his back room tool
seat and whist in the act of drawing on his socks re

and dressed Wade's wounds we are clad to learn that
lie does not consider them as likely TO endauger life
serious though they certainly are.
Mr. Wade states, we learn that to the heat If h;s
knowledge, he had never the negro before Christi
mas mornng-that he had never given him or anv
ouer person cause to assault him. and that the only
reason he Can ssgn for his conduct is the highly pro-
Daoie one, that the negro alone bent upon robhno
the store, which feat he intended accomplishing. even
