the city was given to enable the woTaen and

frightened CIT, there were found three pairs
Of negro shoes, one loaded musket, all old

LOCAL MATTERS.

burglary and attempted Assassiaatioa.-At
late hour on Monday night the residence
OF Mr.. William ID. Colquitt, In Sidney, was
forcibly entered by two men, whose purpose
doubtless was 10 rob it of whatever could
be conveniently carried off. After appro-
priating some few things OF o portable char
acter which were in the lower story, they
proceeded to ascend the stairs leading 10 the
second, when Mr.. e. was aroused from his
slumbers by the noise which they were max.
ing. He immediately jumped out Of bed,
and seizipg pistol which was near at hand
started in cautious manner in the e-uirectiOn
from which he supposed they were coming;
hut before advancing many steps they heard
him and hastily retreated down the steps
and into the street through the way by
which they entered. They were followed
TO the street door, where they wheeled
and fired two shots at MIR. Colquitt,
but fortunately Inflicted no injury
The weapon which Mr. e had was In rusty
condition, aud therefore he WAS unable to
do anything with il. From tho hasty glance
which that gentleman had Of them, and as
well as the darknaes Of the night would
permit him to judge, he is OF the opinion
That the daring thieves were two negro men
who have frequently been seen lurking
abont his neighborhOod. The officers have
not since been able to overhaul them.
