LOCAL MATTERa

| Attempt TO Mardey.-A most dar,nr
was made yesterday morning, about 3 o,sinapt
| to murder young lady-Miss CATHKaErr
| THoM-by her brother-in- law, WILLIAM p
| ToTTY. The parties reside with William
| Thorn, the father and father-in-law, at the
southwest corner Of Grace and Monroe streets
| a short distance beyond the corporate limits
| Of this city. On two previous occasions, war
rants have been obtained against Totiy for
beating Miss Thorn, but were afterwards com.
promised
On Tuesday last, Totty had difficulty with
his law, as he told friend, and was
| forbid the house. Yesterday morning, how.
| ever, he was there, and while Pleasant Orange
himself and Miss Thorn were together in the
| kitchen, eating or preparing for breakfast, he
| drew pistol and shot her, the ball taking ef-
| feet little to the right of the middle line OF
| the stomach, passing around internally, and
making its appearance under the skin to the
| left of the spinal column, from which place it
| was extracted by Drs. Bolton and Lewis. AS
| soon as Totty fired the pistol he fled from the
premises, by the back door, and made good his
| escape. Miss Thorn, finding that she was Sc
| riously injured, made her way to the dwelling
| house. some thirty yards distant told her sis
/ ter what had happened, and then went to her
! room in the second story. Mrs. Totty imme-
| diately called Mr.. F. Phillips, one of the con-
| stables OF Henrico county, who happened to
| be near by, and told him that her sister had
been shot, but could not for some time tell nj i'm
| more about it, When Mr.. p. heard the facts,
he FASTENED TO the kitchen to arrest Totty, but
he had fed.
| William T. Totty was member of the city
| night-watch for three years, but resigned his
position in November last Since then he has
| become very Incorporate in his habits, which
| were not at all improved by his opening a
| grocery and drinking establishment in the
| front part of the house where Thorn resides.
| After attempting the murder OF his sister in
| law, he fled in the direction of the plank road,
and was seen by gentleman who knew him
| Well. he has friends or relatives in Peters
| burg and Lynchburg, and may make his way
| to one or the other place.
| Miss Thom as we understa in nformed her
! physicians that Totty had shot her because
| she refused to go away with him. The wound,
| II is feared, will prove fatal. Cons table Phil
| lips had called on Justice King to receive her
| dying declaration as 10 the whole affair

SuIcIDE.-John +. Jones, a SON Of Dr. Basil
M. Jones, of Charlottesville, Va, committed
suicide at the Worsham House. in Memphis,
Tenn, on the 1ith inst, by shooting himself.
He was graduate OF the University of Viz
ginia, and had recently been engaged a
teacher in a Female College near Memphis.
The Enquirer, of that city, says:
He repaired to his room yesterday morning
about III O'Clock, where he remained untIl
nearly one O'Clock, having employed himself
In tie eantime, by tearing into small frag-
ments large number of letters. Shortly al
ter one O'Clock, and about the time the guest Us
OF the house were taking dinner. report OF a
pistol was heard and nearly five minutes at
terwards second report proceeded from the
same locality. The officers OF the house i'm
Inediateiy repaired TO the room from whence
t,ee report came, but for a time were nabie "
gain admittance, the door being securely
locked. An entrace, however, was effected by
forcing the door, when one of the most horrid
sights upon which man ever gaZed presen ted
itself to view. Mr.. Jones lying on the
bed, still alive, though he had shot himself
twice. both balls entering his head ,one through
the left corner or the right ey e. the Their through
the right corner of the lett eye, the latter ball
having torn of half his nose and almost one
side of his head. The unfortunate man
writhed in the most terrible agony for tuli
half an hour after being discovered, when
death kindly put an end 10 his sutterings, and
his soul, unbidden, took its fiightlnto eternity.

LYNca-LAw IN EANsAs-Ttco Men Shot,
The Paris (Kansas,) correspondent of the
Lawrence Herald says that on the 9th inst. a
party of nine men arrested Henry Wolfe and
son. and Chas. boy, son of the notorious DIR.
Doy, on a charge of horse-stealing. He adds: /:
They were tried found guilty and the sentence
of death passed upon them. Doy and young
Wolfe succeeded in making their escape, the
latter after being lady wounded. The sem
tenee was executed upon the old man Wolfe
He was deliberately shot, and his body left on
the prairie. On Friday night the same COM
pany, enlarged by additional recruits learn
IDg that Doy was concealed in house owned
by old man Wolfe, surrounded 1t by 10 O'Clock
waited until daylight, procured load of hay,
fired 1t, and succeeded in disiodging him. He
was tried, d,condemned. and Immediately su ffered
death. Their death is not regretted in this
community, although all good people lament
that state of society should exisl demand
ing that justice should be dispensed in such
summary manner. Young boy commenced

Others, being encouraged by Montgomery, and
The Jay Hawkers generally, he continued the
business too long tor his own good. The fate
OF these men has terrified evil-doers in this
part of the country. A general stampede
among them is auticlpated

Small Tail Movement.

During the Harrison campaign, an eloquent
orator in the western part of the State of Vir-
ginia was holding forth to an immense assem-
blagc in favor of the hero of TiPpecanoe, and
Tyler too Especially the speaker was expa-
tiating upon General Harrison s courage, TACT
and success, as a military commander. While
in the midst of his discourse. a tall, gaunt
man arose from the crowd and said, in voice
which penetrated the whole assembly:
Mister-Mister, want to AK you a
question"
The speaker paused, and asked him to pro-
pound.
"We are told" the man went GU, {; fellow
citizens, that Gineral Harrison is a mighty
great gineral; but say he is one of the
mearest sort of ginerals. We are told here
Fort Meigs but tell you that on that occa-
sion he was gully of the ISnaaN Tail More
neent, and challenge the orator here present
to deny it"
The orator declared his utter ignorance of
what the man meant by the IS Small Tail
Movement" and asked him to explain him
self,
'''rll tell you" said the man. s'I've got
it here in black and white. Here is Grim
shaw's History of the United States hold
ing up the book-ssand I'll read what it says
this is it: At this critical increment Gen
eral H1,rison executed NOVEL increment
Does the gentleman deny that z
.' No, no; go on"
"Well. he executed norcz movement
Now here's Johnson's dictionary taking
the book out of his pocket, and holding it
up-s' and here it says, NOVEL, osmaH tale. f"
And this was the kind of movement Gineral
Harrison was guilty Of Now I'm no soger
and don't know much of mlentary tictacks
but this do say; man who in the face Of
an enemy, is guilty of Small Tail Move.
nncnt is not fit to be President of the United
states, and he shan't have my vote"
Tie orator of the evening could make nc
head against an argument like that, and gave
it up in despair.

RRoKEN TIES.

hebfoken ties of happier days,
How of,en do they seem
To come before the mental gHze,
Like remembered dream.
Around nseaeh discovered chain,
In PARKING ruin lies.
And earthly haUds can ne'er again
Unite these broken ties.
The parent Of o.ir infant home,
The kindred thai We lovFdr
Far from our arms perchAnre may roHmI
To Distant scenes removed.
Or We have watched their parting breath,
And closed their y cary eyes.
And sighed 10 think how sadly death
Can sever human ties.
The friends, the iov'd ones Of my youth,
They too are Pose or changed,
Or, worse than all. their love and trutn'
Are harkened or estranged.
They meet us in gIfttering throng,
With cold, averIed eyes,
And wonder thar We weep ouF wTongI
And mourn our broken ties.
Obi who in such a world as this,
Could bear their lot of pain
Did not one radiant hope OF bliss
Uuclouded YET remain
That hope the sovereign Lord has given,
Who reiGns beyond the skies,

A, the Beautiful Gate of the Temple,
Full many year ago,
4 lame man waited. with silent eye,
:. atchiug the ebb and flow
OF the ccaseless tide of worshippers,
AS they passed by, one hv enc,
From tie gray of The earl" mpruinG
To the get of the golden sun.
The volume of Inspiration
Tells nf the lame made whole;
How the healing balm Of Heaven
Was poured on his waiting sOul.
Al the beautiful "n'e Of Inv mercy
NV spirit. o Father. wa ts;
II looks for CLEAN Of gI"rr-
A hope from the golden gases.
And the hymns Of its alteration
Rise mingled with rear of pain,
As morn TO night, ann night 10 morn,
1t watches and waits in vain.
Send. Fniher, some holy angel
To open tho golden gate
To pOur the beams OF glnry
On splri;s that hope and wait.
To Whisper of thee and heaven,
And teach US to see Alright:
On our souls to pour crism-
On our eyes n heavenly light.
