jesse B. Lamb, witness in an important
case before the Court of Oyer and Terminer
Of ST. Lawrence County, was shotat Canton
BY an unknown assassin, Thursday night,
and severely wounded 1t was at first sup
posed that the wound was mortal, but hap
PLY two of the bullets lodged in the man :
memorandum book and saved his life. The
0gdensburg Journal says in relation to the
affair
The victim was formerly resident of
Carthage. jefferson county, where he owned
farm, and was apparently in good circum-
stances. He made his appearance here last
spring, under an assumed name, pretend
d
ing in connection with other parties in pas
sing fraudulent paper, and succeeded in vic
thinking A. Wells, broker, of Prescott to a
considerable amount. By fortuitOus cir
cumstance, his real name and place
of residence were discovered, and the
proper papers made out for his
arrest He was brought here and made a
clean breast OF his transactions and full
restitution, giving up his property for that
purpose We hear that after his return to
Carthage he received threatening notes
warning him TO Leave the country. More
than two months ago he was brought to
Ogdensburg and placed in the custody Of an
officer for safe keeping, as an important
witness. About six weeks ago he was
handed over to the custody of the Sheriff.
The attempted assassination would seem TO
indicate state of desperation on the part
of some one unknown, and it Is the most
glaring and desperate crime ever committed
in st. Lawrence county. 1t calls for the
most earnest and efficient efforts TO capture
the perpetrator.
A special despatch from Canton says two
arrests have been made under circumstances
rather suspicious. One of them, Jefferson
Richie of Brownsville. \. J., answers the
description given by the wounded man of
his assaiant He was found secreted among
the piles of lumber on Saw Mill Island. He
had Aung shot upon his person. The
other was discharged.
such was the excitement in Qgdensburg
on the reception of the news of the at
tempted assassination of Lamb, that public
meeting was at once held and the District
Attorney requested to offer a reward of
IS 600 for the detection and conviction Of
the assassin,

Senator Edmunds of Vermont becomes
chairman of the Judiciary committee in the
Senate By the retirement of Mr.. Trumbull
Vermont has been peculiarly fortunate in
her Senator's for long time. As iurists
and legislators few States have sent to the
Senate such succession of vigorous, acute
and sinewy men as Vermont, in the persons
of Prentiss, Phelps, Collamer and Edmunds
Mr.. Edmunds is not very popular man
with the opposition, but none of them will
venture to deny his great ability. If there
is any man in the Senate who was born
for legislative work, combining the discre-
ton, forecast, circumspection and indopen.
dence in character which such high duties
demand, that man is Senator Edmunds 1t
has been quite the style to laud the ability
of Trumbull, but the Senate and the country
lose nothing by the change Troy Times,
