ANOTHER GROSS OUTRAGE.-On Fri
day night as a procession of the For
eign party was returning from meet
ing in the 18th ward, and when pass
ing the Clipper Office, six balls were
fired at the objective of them going
through the windows into the compos-
ing room, where a number of hands
were at work, and one. ball grazed the
body of Mr.. Brown, himself good
Democrat. Fortunately no one was
injured. We are glad to know that
the names of the persons have been as
certaihed who fired the pistols. Such
murdSroas assaults are all right when
they proceed from the Democrats; and
if those miscreants had been shot down
in self defence, there would have been a
great cutlery made by their friends, of
the pld blooded murder, &c.

feet work." in relation to the many
accounts on my books for subscriptions
to the late MoNoNGALIA MIRROR, and
for Advertising and Job-work, it has
at length become absolutely necessary
that / should make collections without
further delay.
Owing to the fact that the year past
was q trying time with the Farmers,
owing to the drought, resorted to
borrowing, in preference to collecting,
to meet current obligations; and it is
but reasonable and right that those
whom we have thus favored by delay,
should make an effort for our relief
The crops are now abundant, and good
prices are offered for every thing mer-
charitable. Almost any person whose
name is on our books CAN pay if he
WILL; and we shall be really sorry to
find that we have been transacting bu-
siness with any one who WILL NOT pay
when he cantor in such cases the
only possible remedy will be to MAKE
THEM wIhLING We would say, very
respectfully and yet earnestly, to each
and to all, that it will be money-saying
operation to call at the Office, and pay
their bills at once; as we shall be un-
