DAsTARDLY ATTACK.-John Lyons, ON Friday
night of last week, was attacked by a couple of
ruffians, on West Main street, near Clay, in this
oity, the object clearly being robbery. Mr..
Lyons had imprudently shown his pocket-book
containing some $500. in a neighboring saloon,
offering to bet on the election. The scoundrsls
knocked him down, and then undertook to sup.
press his cries for help by holding their hands
over his mouth, in which attempt the thumb Of
one Of them was caught between Mr.. Lyons
teeth and severely bitten. Mr. LIS cries having
brought help, the scoundrels were obliged to
take to their heels without accomplishing their
object. One of them left his hat, which it is
said has been identified as belonging to certain
penitentiary bird, but no arrests have been made.

Here is scrap from p letter picked up recently,

who thus expresses his sentiments: "in get ing

the rest If We was to home we would stay ther
till tha got thru titing for muney then am will
fite for the younen like hel" He was "loA to

Jail who is some what OF vocalist. He gives free
evening concerts to crowd of men and boys,
who assemble around the window of his cell.
His songs are rather inappropriate to his pecu-
liar condition. For instance, he sings: ooh
I'm wandering refttgee" He is all right on
the refuge, but he hasn't much room to nee 90.
We saw Disguised republican on election day
tie was looking over the republican ticket
when he exclaimed: "Such ticket, I've got

scrasch off every man on the ticket !" Some
one lately saw Mr.. Courtney, Jr, and called him
"Beemus" He wants us to apologize, or he will.
Mr.. Trask, the jewoler, has placed us under

as everybody votes for Reddiek. Indeed it is
largely on account Of his excellent goods and
fair dealing a merchant that he is 80 popular
