dence that he was wanted in Petersburg to
answer the charge of shooting with intent

CLOSING UP STORES EARLIER.-We have
received communication, which was writ
ten with the approval of some of our lead
ing merchants, proposing that all the stores
and business houses in the city be closed
at 6 O'Clock every afternoon from Monday
next until the first Of September. We
most cordially endorse this PROPOSE
ton. All the business Of the city can be
done between 3 o'clock, A. NJ, and .
O'Clock, M. We would even prefer an
earlier hour for closing. An opportunity
will thus be given to all our business men
and their clerks and other employees tor
recreation; and if O'Clock was fixed as
the closing hour there would be time for
rides into the country, visits to the cool
shades of Oakwood and Hollywood, and
fishing excursions down the river. The
railroad and steamboat men, too, would
get up short excursions at moderate rates.
We know the ladies will all second this
movement, and that the boys and girls
will throw up their hats in favor of carry
ing it into immediate effect. Let it be
understood, then, that after Monday next
all the stores will be closed at 6 o'clock.

Attempted Robbery and Murder.
Correspondence OF the Chicago Republican
Paw Paw, LEE COUNTY, ILL.,, |
Nav IA, 1866.

May IA, 1866.
An occurrence took place in this neigh
borhood last evening which has created
quite local sensation. a young man, a
nephew of one of our most substantial
farmers and worthy citizens, went to the
residence of Mr.. Conant, an old resident
and most respectable gentleman, after the
family had retired, and asked for admit
tancc. Mr.. Conant rose, and partially
dressing himself, invited the young man
in. After converSing few moments, Mr..
Conant stepped out of the door, and was
followed by the young man, who presented
a revolver and demanded of Mr.. Conant
his money, following the demand almost
instantly by two discharges from the piS-
toll At this moment Mrs. Conant appeared
at the door, when the desperate fired at
her. Mr.. Conant then seized the weapon
and grapplcd with the would-bc murderer,
and, with the assistance of his hired man,
who had been sleeping in the chamber,
finally succeeded in overpowering and Sc
curing the rutlian. The first two shots
took effect in the thigh of Mr.. Conant, in
tiicting wound which is not considered
dangerous.
In short time crowd of citizens assem-
bled, and disposition to summarily exc
cute the young villain was manifested. The
arrant coward begged pitcously for his life
and promised to make certain "revcla-
tionS." This he was permitted to do, whc
he proceeded to state that he belonged to
an organized "gang" of cut-throatS and
thieves, and indicated the whereabouts OF
some of them. He also gave other in
formation, which, for prudential reasons, ]
suppress. | have not given his name, ont
of regard for the feelings of the family OF
his uncle, who is highly respected.

INTERESTING TO DRINKING MEN.-Some
temperance writer says: 1t is not generally
understood in medical circles that persons
who are not addicted to strong drinks are
the only ones that can reckon on escaping
the cholera. Drunkards are the men at
tackled they never recover. In Tifis,
Georgia, ASIA every drunkard is dead.
During the last visitation Of cholera in New
York. out of two hundred and four cases
only six were temperate people. In AL
bany. out of five thousand temperate men
only two are known to have been attacked
during the last visitation Of the cholera.

SENTENCED TO THE PENrESrrARY.-fes'
terday Thomas V. Sandford was tried N
Judge Lyons's Court for robbing Thomas
Branch 4 Co. of sundry Virginia BANK
notes to the amount Of six or eight hun
dred dollars. The prisoner plead guilty,
and was sentenced to confinement IN the
penitentiary. li
This case presents one of the sad effects
Of gambling. Young Sandford bore an ex-
ccllent character in Westmoreland county,
where he resides, and comes from highly
respectable family. He came to Richmond,
was led of, commenced to game, and be-
came so heavily involved that in fit of
desperation Le committed the crime of
robbery in order 10 cover his losses. He
bears his imprisonment heavily, and is full
of remorsc for his thoughtless act.
John Williamson was convicted by the
same court Of horse-stealing, and sent to
the pcnitentiary for seven years.
