Assasit.
The Bangor Wig relates the particulars Of
the assault In that city upon reverend gen
tleuan welltnown in this vicinity. We are
glad the result was no worse:
"About half past five o'clock Friday eve
ming. q boy at work for Father Vetromele went
into the stable. shieh Is used 2, Soodshed'
I'll saying that he ielt mans foot in the shaw
ingS lie was laughed ut by the servants for
his timidty, and one Of them took light and
vent out to see II ANY one Was there. She saw
no one, but they heard nose, rs Of some one
In the loft over head. They returned to the
kitchen, and Father Vetromile coming home,
they told him man was In the stable. Taking
. light no went out, aud first shutting the sta
BILE door to prevent an escape, started to 60 up
. ladder leading to the lott. As soon a. he
reached the top, and before he could see any
thing their, he was struck murderous blow by
some one concealed there, which laid open the
scalp, causing . most protse How OF blood.
lie gave the alarm and got into the house,
when the villain, whoever II was, made hia es-
cape by Jumping through n window, taking
sash and all In his course, and running down
through the garden toward Hancock street.
Father vetromile h positive that he heard the
report Of pistol at the time he was struck,
and ut the time supposed he was shot, but an
examination Of the wound by DR.. McRuer,
showed Il to be from blow by some blunt In
strument. and not dangerous. As no other
person heard any pistol, Is probable that he
thatthe assault Was committed by some person
Who had concealed himself with intent TO enter
and rob the house In the night, but finding
himself discovered took this method to effect
his escape. Some circumstances throw suspi-
eion IN . certain quarter which Is being worked
up by the police. IL Is to be hoped that the
| villain may be discovered and brought to JUS

such a. to make mans life Of little worth
With desperate villain armed with bludgeon
striking him from above.
