VIVA. About three years ago, while at Mariou's
no'e' AZ late hour Of the night he was called BY
voice In tho street. and upon putting his head out
o' the window, heavy stone was thrown at him
ho'n the direction from which the voice seemed 10
proceed Shortly afterwards, while walking the
streets Of Marion, gun was snapped In his face
On another occasion, some one Knocked at the
door Of his residence. and upon SIR. RS opening
1t an arm was thrust In. having huge bowie knife
In the hand, which slightly cut Mr. r s clothing
About month since an apple, thoroughly poisoned
with arsenic, was sent him by some unknown per-
son, but the plot was detected. The last attempt
on bis life was made while he was at the house Of
relative, where he had gone in consequence Of
his receiving message which turned out to be
false. Thinking II was q plot to waylay him. he
remained at his relatives house during the night
AT late hour the window Of his bed room was
broken and pistol fred at him-the ball narrowly
escaping his head.
This last effort has greatly aroused tho indig-
nation of the citizens of Smythe, that every con-
ceivable effort will now be made to discover the
fendish author of these foul designs
