GonEE far 1855 lsssisaz to be tfIllisr
attractive and interesting volume, The fol-
lowing hatteFing notice is copied from the
Philadelphia North American:
Cooley FOR JANUARY.-The best number
of the best L8dy's Magazine we have ever
seen. 1t is really gem. A piece Of block
printing is produced in this number, espec-
ially for the ladies, that is a novelty in this
country. 1t is the figure Of a stag, printed
in eight COlors, and Is exceedingly beautiful,
and we presume could not be purchased in
the stores for double the price Of the Book.
The two steel plates are very nne; one of
them contains three distinct pictures. Tbs
tinted cut-a speciality Of Cooley sis sWeetly
pretty; and the inimitabIe fashion plate is
beyond all praise. Butthe great feature Of
this number is GOdey's extension plate Of
the latest fashions, two feet long, printed on
both sidess making four feet-a new thing.
There is no magazine that can get mp a fash
ion equal to Cooley. We know that they
are true for we know who 1t is that gets
them mp. The reading matter is decidedly
good. Marion Harland's story will prove
to be her best,

A BOLD OUTAGE Gentleman Shot at in
Bed by Party Of Rlfidns-M Mysterious Affair.".
Tuesday night a most outrageous affair occurred
In this city near the New Orleans Machine Shop,
the bare thought OF which makes ones blood boil
within him. Ii shows, also, how easy il is for a
mans life TO be taken, even in his own house, and
while slumbering by the side of his wife, in bed.
The victim Of this villsinous proceeding is Mr..
Baer, the master machinist of the Texas and New
Orleans Railroad. Tuesday night, between IL
and II o'clock, he and his wife were suddenly
awakened by q crashing noise which he soon dis
covered was bis door falling under the blows Of
some persons outside. Immediately after the
falling of the door, three sprang over it into
the bedroom Of Mr.. Baer, and as he was about to
arise one of the rufians shot at him, scarcely
missing him, the ball passing near him, and nearer
his wife, who was in bed with him. As soon as
the scoundrel discharged his pistol, the trio
turned right about and ran, but not with impu-
nifty, for Mr.. Baer had reached under his pillow
aud drawn out his faithful Colt, which he fred
rapidly at the fugitves, hitting one or two OF
them, as their tracks were filed with blood
which no doubt proceeded from the bodies of the
dastards. Mrs. Baer and her sisters, who were in
the house, fearing a return Of the blood-thrsty
wretches 10 carry out their original design oil
numbering Mr.. Baer, or perhaps the whole family
commenced hslloing murder which sooI
brought the police to the spot, who proceeded q
examine the house and the grounds, but could
obtain no trace Of the villains. This Is certainly
one Of the most atrociOus attempts at murder
that has transpired for some time.

A TESTIMONIAL TO DAsHER.-As will be seen
by the correspondence published elsewhere, a
number Of our citizens have rendered Mr.. Dasher,
the author of the " Red Crook" and " G. d. A. B.
+. A." a complimentary benefit, the occasion for
which has been fixed for Saturday evening by the
recipient. Mr. Dssher has done much, during the
season, to enlven matters at the Academy, and
we know of no better opportunity for the patrons
of that institution to testify to their appreciation
of his efforts than to give him rousing benefit.
