MURDERoUs AssAULT.-The Nevada Dem
ocrat, of Thursday, gives the following parlic-
uars of a most murderous and cowardly assault
made upon Mr. Wagner, on Monday Evening
last Mr.. w. keeps Tailor shop on Pine
street, and resides in the upper part of town,
just above the school house. He started home
about half past nine, going round by way of
Broad street, and when near his own house
was met by two men, who caught him and
commenced beating him over the head with a
revolver. Wagner called for help, and de-
Tended himself as well as he could, he asked
his assailauts if they wanted his money, and
one of them said. " Hand it over" He then
offered them his watch and money, but they
did not take them, and it was evident that
robbery was not their object. Mr.. Wagoner's
mother and another lady who lives in the
neigEborhood heard the disturbance, and On
going to the doors of their houses could hear
Wagner begging them not TO kill him. The
women commenced screaming, and the would
be murderers, finding they had alarmed the
neighborhood, let go Of Wagner, firing three
shots at him as be was crawling off on bis
hands and knees. One of the shots took effect
in his right shoulder, but the wound is not
regarded as dangerous. He was badly bruised
about the face and head, and one of his hands
was cut with knife while he was endeavoring
to take his money out of his pocket

SECESSION THE ESSENCE OF ANARCHY.-The
Trinity Journal, referring to the secession of
the Gulf States in the wake of their palmetto
sister, observes '"South Carolina, the viper
whom they have taken into their bosoms, has
already commenced kissing, and will soon
strike her poisonous fangs of States rights
sovereignty into the vitality of the Confederate
States and anarchy and ruin will be the end
of the new government. We cannot say that
I'VE wish the Southern Republic Joy at the
accession OF South Carolina we have too
much real sympathy with the honestly mised
of the Southern States, but can only say that
we have no grain of allowance for that infatu-
ated treacherous State-untrue to the Union,
false to her benefactors, and accursed in her
policy"

The WEnB SISTERS Ar.ARMoRY HALL.-The
WEDD sisters were greeted with full house
last evening. The performances, for their va.
riety and excellence, were exquisite The sing.
ing was capital. Every one admired the grace,
ease and naturalness with which the young la
dies passed from one character to another, rep.
resenting each to the life, and elictiDg from the
audience spontaneous applause and merriment.
1t would be difficult to devise more chaste,
pleasant and amusing entertainment.
The sisters perform again tonight at Armory
Hall. We trust their efforts to please and
amuse will be duly appreciated, and the Hall
crowded again this evening. It will be prudent
in those desiring convenient seats to secure
them early.

FASHIONABLE Reform. .--FANNY FERN writes
in the Ledger that the day when it was consd-
cred interesting and ladylike to bo always all
ing, has gone by. Good health, fortunately, Is
in fashion. rosy cheek is no longer "vul-
gar" and fair, shapely allowance OF flesh on
the bones, is considered the "style." A Ian
guild eye, and waxy, bloodless complexion
may 60 begging for admiration. The "elegant
stoop" in the shoulders, formerly considered 80
aristocratic, has miraculously disappeared.
All this sounds fue. We hope it has the
merit Of being true.

NATIONAL HoTEL.-This House, under the
auspices of Capt. II. REYsoLDs, has taken rank
among the first class hotels of the city, not
only in the management Of its affairs, but in
its capacity to accommodate numbers. The
recent large addition to the house, which was
rendered necessary by its increasing patronage,
is nearly finished and ready for guests. In
passing through the house, we observed that
every apartment was newly and tastefu!ly fn
ished. The sleeping rooms are comnio odious,
we'll ventilated, aud seem to have been arrang-
ed with special view to the comfort Of lodgers.
The travelling public will find the National q
model hotel In every respect, and its proprietor
one whose compeer in the management Of a
public house Is seldom met with.

AN INcTDEST.- Sitting musingy in our office,
last evening, sadly in want of fresh local
item, our "brown study" was suddenly inter
rupted by the sppsrition of familiar face
Our friend looked 60 smiling, that we inquired
what "atreak of good luck" he had lately en-
countered.
"Why, this morning." said he, 81 stepped to
carriage to speak to q lady acquaintance from
the country, and found her surrounded by bun.
des of dry goods, which che opened, exhibiting
shswls, dress patterns, etc., for the girls, and
cloth for coats, vesting, etc., for the boys. She
kept me full half hour, exphtiating with true
feminine voiubility upon the quality and price
of the goods, and the fine bargains she had
made.
"And where, Madam said |, did you OBJ
tain such rare bargsins7'
."'At HEADLY, EBERLy g. RIcHARDs's,' she re-
sponded, glancing at her acquisitions with evil
dent heartfelt satisfaction.
"Leaving the carriage, encountered gen.
tleman, an old acquaintance, who held me by
the button to diate upon some purchases for
winter clothing he had made this morning
Mrs, -, who is good Judge in such mat
ters, had assured him that he had never done
SO well before in his life. 'And where,' said
l anxiously, did you meet with such chance,
in these hard times7' AT HEADLY, EBERLY &
RIcHARDs's,' returned he"
"This sceue," continued our friend, "to cut
long story short, was repeated in the course
of the forenoon three several times. At last,
l concluded to go and Try HEiDLy, EBERLy &
RlcHARDs myself"
"a very sensible conclusion" said we,
thoughttully.
81 found 1t ao," replied our friend, exulting-
ly, "and advise you-to do likewise"
