Yesterday forenoon bullet from pistol
shattered.a pane of glass in one of the west
erly windows of the office of Hon. Joshua
Nye. The dangerous missile was not found
and it is not known where it lodged. The
best information concerning the matter that
can be obtained tends to prove that the pistol
was discharged by some person standing in
the western entrance TO the Cony House or
from the billiard room of that house. The
bullet struck with great force an empty hogs
head near by making deep furrow in it, and
then it glanced to the Office of Mr.. Nye, shat
tering the glass and disappearing as above
stated Mr.. Nye was in his office at the time,
and it is an instance of rare good fortune that
he was not harmed. Nobody can be found to
confess the act of reckless carelessness. No
wonder he wants to keep dark.
