SHOOTING ON GALLLTIN PIKE.-0n Sunday last,
two citizens residing in the vicinity of Edgeieid-
J. W. Gee and William Martin-came to this city
on business. About dark they crossed the river,
and taking n conveyance, drove out on the Gala
tin Pike TO their homes. Near the house of Mr..
Stubb, about three miles from the city, three men
approached them and demanded their money.
Mr.. Gee and Mr.. Martin sprang from their buggy.
and while doing so were shot at by one Of the
party. They did not, however, retreat, but Mr..
Gee, who was armed with a'revolver, returned the
FIRE, and as he believed, MORALLY wounded the
one who shot at him. As another of the williams
was in the act Of shooting at Mr.. Martin, Gee
fired second time and with such effect that the
desperadocs were put TO fight Mr.. Martin, al
though unarmed, stood his ground manfully.
1t is said that these would -be-murderers were
all disguised in such manner as to prevent their
faces from being seen, and were also mounted on
horses. From the description given it is possible
that they might have been soldiers as various ar
ticles were strapped on their saddles. and their
appearance indicated that they had been in the
army. Whether citizens or soldiers, it is to be
hoped measuresamay be taken for their arrest as
affairs Of this kind are far too numerous for the
safety Of those residing in the suburbs. - 80.
So Il q
Ok Sunday night, about u O'Clock. parties res
iding in the vicinity of the Louisville Depot were
alarmed by the loud and rapid firing Of pistols
and revolvers. 1t might reasonably have been
supposed that q serious ARRAY was taking place.
but number Of policemen. who proceeded to
that locality, ascertained that no one had been in
jured. Some eight or ten persons were arrested;
but upon examination, it was found that they had
thought proper to usher in the new year by these
demonstrations. and they were accordingly dis
charged. with some sound advice suitable to the
occasion.

GIT TERPRIsEs-LEGTTMATE AND IL
LEGITIMATE.-The late explosions of a
couple of these institutiOns-ou at Mil
waukee, for $4,000, by the absconding OF
its chief manager, the other at Chicago, for
and estimated 100000, by the oblivious-
ness Of several manipulating parties,--is
causing no little uneasiness among the
getters-up of other schemes, to lottery of
valuable blocks of buildings In some of ON
Western cities, including also piles OF
greenbacks, diamonds. horses, town resi-
dences, farms, &C., &c.
"CrOsby's Opera House." at Chicago, is
up for one ofthese drawings; but the scan
prejudicing even it, with all the indorse-
ments it is boasting. A dispatch to the
Enquirer, from that city, says there are, in
fact, doubts entertained as to the honesty
of the affair. 1t is rumOred that there are
only $4,000 sold. The responsible men,
composed mostly of bankers in that city,
who have lent their name to this scheme
have demanded of Mr.. Nickerson, Vice
president Of the First National Bank, Sc
curity, that in case the drawing does moi
take place, every dollar of the money paid
for tickets shall be refunded.
As it has cost nearly 100000 to advertise
the scheme, this sum has been expended
and IL the tickets are not all sold it will
leave heavy bill for Nickerson, the con-
signee of Crosby, to foot, in case the lottery
is not success. Tickets which have been
purchased are selling on the street at one
dollar and half each.
We are inclined to infer from this that
as the house itself-a half million affair.
has never yet been distinguished for any
thing but its exterior splendor and lis
empty seats, its ticket-box, In this enter
prise, will be in harmony, aud the scheme
a like failure. Asw have had three diff
ferent solicitiOns TO publish the flaming
programme of the proposed drawing, and
receive tickets in payment we !ncline tc
decline the seductive chance for the ele-
phant.
