that an attempt bad been made 10 murder to
family Of Nr. John Price, : conductor on =
freighs train on Ihr o. 4 N. Railroad, during
his absencc from home.. From oil the partictt-
lafs Of the outrage " can gather, the following
history of il appears to be correct a man
unknown to our citizens called at the house Of
NJ. Price on Third street, during the afternoon,
and asked for something to eat, uhereupon Mrs.
r. gavs him dime to buy II with. He then
went 70 Mr.. J. B. LAplantes residence near by.
and asked for something to eat. and the wife OF
William Chandler being present, told him il he
would saw some wood she would pay hIm for
il, and be seemed willing 70 do is, and Mrs. Q.
procured a saw and sent him to her house to
saw the wood. He sawed some little time and
returned and asked Mrs. Laplante for some
supper. She told him 10 walk in. He seemed
to hesitate, and, she says, seemed to stare at
her strangely, but he finally went in and ate his
supper. This was about dark. In short time
after this he appeared at Mr.. Prices again and
asked for something to eat. Mrs. p. ordered
the hired woman to give him some, and while
she was at a table preparing some food, he
her in the temple with the blade Of il aud cut
through into the skull. He then turned upon
Mrs. r, who was near By, and made several at
tcmpts to strike her, but she succeeded ia eiu-
ding the blows, and ran out Of the house and
alarmed the neghbors. As they came running
to her assistance he was observed to Jump the
yard fence, and before the nature OF the alarm
was known, he had made his escape. Tue citi-
zens Immediately turned out to hunt him, but
up to our present writing Thursday morning,
he has not been captured. The woman is ia a
critical situation, and will probably die from the
wound received. No cause can be assigned for
this daring attempt to murder innocent females,
in the heart OF this city, when lights were burn
ing and people passing to and fro every few mo-
ments, on the street. We think it more than
likely that the man is insane, or was 50 at the
time he committed the deed.
lie is described as being about five feet eight
Or ten inches in height, having auburn hair, a
thin face, with small whisker on his cain, and
an imperfect eye, (the right one,) which gives
i the appearance of what is termed glass eve,
and he is supposed to be about thirty years Of
lge. Let the public be on the look gu. for and
capture him if possible.
Since writing the above, VIC arc told that at |
he time he made lick at Mrs. F. with the
ratchet, with one hand he grabbed at her watch /
which indicates that his object was robbery.

he was thirty days only in going there, and has
returned in twenty~eight days-although he
had to make road for himself some portion
OF the way. lie went well prepared for work
ing in the mines and had two men to assist him
The three were about two months in obtaining
the dust, which he has brought back. He found
good feed fer his cattle on both trips, and saws
there IS plenty of grass at Cherry Creek in

Crawford, the pastor of the 3ith street NJ Y.
| Church, New York, WHO has long been well
acquainted with all the family, states that Fran
| els A. Goaldy, who butchered his relatives and
then committed suicide, was a coward, and from
| a boy was afraid Of boys half his age ard size.
He never looked any one straight in tie face,
but always dropped his eyes while speaking or
being spoken to. He was revenge!a, obsti-
nate and morose. 10 intellectual qualities he
was below mediocfity. The secretiyeuess Of
his disposition was eminenily noticeable 10 all
his friends He was slow and heavy in his
movements, and as a boy took very little par,
in the sports of his companions. The motive.
Or Impulse, that urged him to the commission
Of the deed, will probably ever remain mys-
terry.
His body was placed in plain mahogany
coffin, and taken from the house on "Wednesday
evening. 1t was Mrs. Gouldy's request that the
corpse might be removed at once, as its pres
ence in the house created an ndlscriba ble feel

DRAGON CHARGE ON THE INnIANs.-The dra.
Coon charge at the battle Of "Four Lakes" Or.
egon is thus described:
This was the chance for which the dragons
had been impatiently waiting-when they could
reach the enemy upon the plains They rode
through the company intervals of the artillery
and infantry. Major Grer Numbered out the
order to charge, aud across the plains they
dashed upon them. This completed the rout,
and the Indians at once broke for the hills and
thickets, with the dragons dashing in the cir
rear. On they went, riding over them and cut
ting them dow. Yeils, and upliited hands, and
shrieks for mercy, we're unheedsd; for both Tay
lor's and Gaston's companies were there burn
ing to avenge their fall. And so they followed
them on until they reached the steep bin side,
whore the feet horses Of the Indians enabled
them to make good their escape. From the
pines by the lakes, and the glens and open plain,
stream of flying warriors poured up the hill
and over its Great.
Had the dragons been wel-mounted, SO as
to reach the main body, the slaughter would
have been great. But their horses we're per-
fectly worn out. They had just ended march
OF twenty eight days, under the saddle all day,
with constant scouting, pcketed by night, and
only little grass in the evening after camping.
So they we're thoroughly blown, and obliged to
