COUNTY STREET.--It is not agreeable
to us to be continually parading the dirty

fore the public eye-we would much
rather commend than blame-but when
occasion calls so loudly for it as it now
does, we cannot, as faithful journalist,
shrink from our duty in the premises and
refrain therefrom.

worse than any country-road we re-
member ever to have travelled. Some
of the people living on it are, absolutely,
engaged in rearing miniature brick walls,

ATTEMPT TO KILL.-We have been
informed, but cannot vouch for the truth
of the statement, that sailor attemp-
ted yesterday in Portsmouth, to take the
lives of two boys.
The circumstances as related to us are
as follows: The boys, with the sailor,
were on the outskirts of the town. When
near Edwards farm, the sailor accused
the boys of intending to rob him; and
one of them repelling the charge lin no
very polite terms we imagine) the sailor
drew knife and made for them. The
boys, though very much alarmed, had
sufficient presence of mind left them, to
scamper. The sailor pursued them, but
having aboard too large cargo of Whis-
key. was unable to overtake them, and
thus the boys escaped.
We did not learn the names of the boys
or of the sailor; but our informant as
sures us that from what he can learn,
it was undoubtedly the intention of the
sailor, to do the boys great bodily injury.
