Thursday evening last about half past eight
O'Clock, as Mr.. s. p. Couch of this place, was
going home, he was met On the east end of
Fox River bridge by some villain who gave
him three severe blows on the head with
slung-shot. Strange to say, he was not
knocked down, nor very seriously injured.
Such & villainous, assassin-!ike assault as
this, in our usually quiet city, takes our
people quite by surprise, and we hope that
no effort will be spared in tracing out the
rogue and making him suffer severely for
his temerity.
