SrABBGNG CAsE.-About seven o'clock on Tues
day evening, stranger entered the brush factory
OF Mr. Daley, corner of Charles and Lombard
streets, and asked to be shown some brushes

the price fit, and was told that it was worth 81 25
lie then offered Mr.. Daley twenty-five cents, and
told him that he would give him dollar the next
day. Mr.. d. replied that he did not sell brushes

In short time afterwards Mr.. Daley closed his
store and was passing up Charles street, when he
was accosted by the same party at the corner of
Wine alley, who invited him to take drink Mr.
DALEY replied that he was not a drinking man.
whereupon the fellow stabbed him in the right
side, and then retreated. Mr. DALEY instantly
gave the alarm, but his assailant had fed and all
efforts to discover him have proved unsuccessful.

supposed TO be fatal He was removed to his dwell
ing, where the proper assistance was rendered.
Mr.. DALEY can conceive of no reason for this as
Sault, as the fellow was an entire stranger to him.
lNTIMDATING VOTERS For some days past the
Black Republican Davis party, have been engaged
in efforts to intimidate voters in the fourth Con
gressOnal district. This game is directed particu-
larly against the German population. This mode of
intimidation is to write an ANONYMOUS letter to the
person, in which he is told that he has been
watched, that he is known as traitor and threat
ening him and his children with punishment and
death, unless he changes his course before cleo
ton day. This miserable trick shows too plainly
the subterfuga to which this disreputable party
now have to resort as the only means left of OBJ
tanning sufficient vote.
