ATTEMPTED MURDER OF WOMAN By
HER LovER.-On the 5th inst. we learn
by the Lexington (Miss,) Equal Rights.
that Mr. Tate attempted to kill Miss
Shepherd by firing a pistol. the ball Of
which entered her breast in the region Of
the heart, and lodged in the opposite side.
The circumstances. briefly. are these:
There was wedding at watch both parties
were guests.-After the marriage ceremO-
ny dance was proposed. but as the host
aud hostess were church members it was
proposed to adjourn to a neighbours house
to finish the festivities Of the night.
Shepherd refused to go. as she was also :,
member Of the church. Mr. Tate. who
wished to anticipate a husbands au I,ority.
rushed into her apartment, where she had
retired with her mother and some other
ladies. and asked her if she would 60 over
to the dance or not. On her repI wing in
the negative, he drew two pistols. one of
which took effect as above stated. From
last accounts Miss Shepherd was not ex-
pee ed to live. The Hamlet Of a lover
was taken by the crowd. and would have
been dealt with summarily but for the inter-
position of one or two influential persons.
tie is now confined in Jail to await the sit
ting of the court. The man must have
been deran.ed.

THE LAST DOG STORY.

/ Mr. Luke Horton. OF South Eighth street,
keeps dog called La Vega, an ,ll-favor-.
ell, fierce-eyed brute, whose untidy habits
| and cross grained temper cause him to be
held in detestaton by the family in gener
al. and By Mrs Horton. his mistress. in
particular. La Vega. however. is a great
favorite with his master. About a week
ago. Mrs Horton become exasperated OFT
account Of some uncomfortable offence com.
| mitted by Vega, and privately bargained
with an old collector Of soap-iat. named
Abe Walker, who. for Il dollar fee. agreed
to take the dog of and s'render him up''
into taIlow. or otherwise relieve Mrs Hor-
ton from the annoyance Of his presence.
Mr. Horton. on coming home to dinner
inquired for La Vega. and was chsrgrined
with the information that his troublesome
pet had absconded. For some days the
rejoicing in the household. and even the
grief Of Mr. Horton for his loss was made
the subject of many sly joke in his do
mestic establishment. Mrs II. congratu-
lated herself excessively ON that lucky
thought Of hers. which cleaned the house e
of that odioas brute; sand though lady WHO
thinks good deal of a dollaf. she did not
grudge the money, since it gained her OBJ
ject so effectuaily. In the mean time La
Vega was detained close prisoner in the
cellar Of the soap pfactory-amusingh himself
by swapping 1T the rats which coursed
about the premises. and sustained himself
like Napoleon at Elba, with the belief that
the objects of his destiny were not yet ac-
comp,sheG.
On Tuesday morning Mr. Horton ap.
peared at the breakfast table with beam
ing countenance. "Weli, my dear, goeri
news!' said he to Mrs. II. s.What sM:''
asked the lady. with some secret misgivins.
1--we got LA Vega back again! Adver-
t'sed for him in the Ledger; offered a re-
ward for his recovery. and this morning he
was brought home by Abe Walker"
''lIeavens!" calculated Mrs Horton;
''what did you have to pay for him?" Or
~ eleven dollars" replied Horton. s'one
tor the advertisement. and ten to old Abe
for bringing him back ''Nercifui good.
ness!;' replied the unsvmpath thizing wife.
''E'even dollars. (enoush to buy a silk
dress.) for the recovery Of such a nasty
cur! and to think that gave the black ras-
cal dollar Tor taking him oH!'' This i'm
advertent confession. Of course produced
matrimonial duel: the report of which
we omit. as it might appear eta!e and con,
mon place to some OF our married readers.
BY this little canine speculation, ali
parties were gamers. Abe Walker. the
cunning darkey, gained ten dollars; the
advertising sheet gained Que. and Mr. and
rience. which will teach them the impor-
tance Of mutual confidence between we'd
ded parties.- Sa1dusdy Democrat.
