SHOT. - On Tuesday evening last.
Charles Gagan, one of the police. was
shot in the breast, on the corner Of
Spring and Green streets, and supposed
to have been dangerously wounded. but
we are glad to learn that he is now do
ing well and likely to recover. The
shot took effect, about two inches below
the collar bone, between the first and
second ribs, and penetrated the lung,
where the ball still remains, and every
symptom indicates that he will get we'll
provided he is carefully nursed.
It seems, from the facts we can
gather, that Gagan, whose marriage we
noticed last week. had been somewhat
intimate with Bridget Dergin. Having
just been married, Gagan, when he saw
Bridget, promised compromise for
money consideration, and tue same was
agreed to and ratified in the presence Of
witnesses before Esq Poe, and made a
matter of record on his docket the
money was received by Bridget, and ev-
cry thing thought to be amicably ar
ranged She had an interview with him
afterwards, and tried to take his life as
above stated The sympathies of our
citizens were with Bridget. because it
had been circulated that Gagan had Sc
duced her under the promise Of mar
rage; when the facts are that she ac-
kno wledged, in the presence of credit
BILE witnesses, that no promise of mar
rage had been given by Gagan She
left for Cincinnati, and no attempt was
made to arrest her for the murderous as
sault.

A NEW WINDOW FASTENER.

SAFE AND CoNvENIENT.-H. NJ. Addi-
son, Esq, last week placed on our Office
windows his ''little JOKER" or window
fastner, that burglar would find, on
trial, from the outside, was no joke, when
he came to hoist the window--he'd find
| it q dead lock--sure. For hosting win
| dows or letting them down from tue top
to ventilate the room, it is very conven-
lent, and the cost of the apparatus is tri-
ding. Mr.. A. will remain in our city for
q short time, and give our house owners
an opportunity of availing themselves of
an invention that is just the thing to have.

Yes, gather the fairest flowers of spring
To strew DER the tomb of the fallen brave,
And raise once more Ger their lowly bed
The beautiful banner they died to save;
And may the free airs of Heaven unfurl
The stripes that are worth martyrs crown,
And the stars, whose brightness undimmed
Whose glory treason could never drown.
For them, let the Nations grandest dirge
Swell to the dome of the azure sky
Soiemnly chanting the sad refrain
Never in vain did our heroes die,
Never q dying sigh was lost
From the souls by torture and anguish riven
Never . mourner's tear in vain
They are all recorded and Known in Heaven.
Then scatter the rarest flowers of spring,
Roses, pansies, and lilies white,
Myrtles, and all bright trailing leaves
Weave them into q crown of light;
Leave them above the silent forms,
Many who fell in their lifes bright spring;
To shed their fragrance in incense there
Where many fair hopes lie whitening.

SOLDIERS GRAVES.

| On Saturday last, many Of our citi-
zens participated in the solemn ceremo-
MES Of decorating the graves of the
brave men, who fell in their country's
service during the late rebellion, for
the preservation of that liberty gained
by the Fathers Of the Revolutionary
War through toll, blood, and privation,
and bequeathed us as q sacred legacy,
to have and to hold throughout all time.
The attendance was not as general as it
should and would have been, had not
Saturday been selected, and we hope
that by next May, some other day may
be set apart for showing the gratitude
Of the living for the invaluable services
of the patriotic dead. =
During the passage of the procession
from one cemetery to another, through
our streets, many of our business houses
were closed, the bells of the Churches
and Engine-Houses were tolled, and the
demonstration, though not as general
as was desired, was indicative that the
