ATTEMPTS TO KILL CHARLEY BAKER, OF
rr,1xots CIrY.-There has been three at
temnts within a short time, to shoot and kill
Mr.. Charles Baker, q merchant, at Illinois
CITY, village on the line of Buffalo Prairie
and Drurv townships, in the lower part OF
this county. The first one occurred on the
night of a dance and resulted IN shooting at
Mr.. Baker, missing him and hitting his wife,
an account of which we published at the time.
The second one occurred some three four
weeks ago, when, one evening, a Dali was
fred at MIN through window OF his store,
I'M. missed him The last was on Monday
evening the Odd, about O'Clock. Mr.. Baker
had closed his store and was walking, with
HE wife and two children, to his home. when
some one who had lain in ambush for him,
snrang up and fired three shots at him, one
of which took effect IN his right arm. lie
walked home, and had the ball extracted,
bu. no evidence sufficient. to warrant an ar
rest has been discovered.
There seems to be u settled purpose to ell
Their kill Mr.. Baker or drive him out and
suspicion rests pretty strong upon certain
parties. We think the community about lii
nois CITY owe it to themselves to ferret out
the assassins and bring them to punishment.
Men who lay in wait and fire at citizens in
the dark, or shoot at them through their win
dows should be hunted cut of any communi-
tY like SO many mad dogs.

ANDY JOHNSON AND THE ODD FELLOws.-We
perceive that President johnson has had an in
terview with body of Odd Fellows, who aim
to restore friendly relations between the bro
therhood North and South. The Order Of Odd
Fellows is a heightened, philanthropic and be-
nevolent one, and the diffusion Of its principles
of brothcrly love all over the country can do a
great deal of good. But we opine that the
oldest fellows Andy Johnson has had to deal
with lately are the Jacobin radicals. He will,
however, be able to manage them, and If he
cannot make them labor to restore the era Of
good feeling, he can, at all events, render their
