A journeyman saddler by the name
of Matson, who has lodgings at Colonel
Browns on Commerce street, and who
has been working at Mr.. Eylar's har-
ness shop in this city, purchased fifteen
grains of morphine of an apothecary,
yesterday, and after going to his room
took the drug and laid down on his
bed. His condition was discovered
by his room-mate who made the facts
known to the inmates of the house, who
at once summoned a physician, who
removed the alkaloid by an emetic, and
succeeded in keeping the patient awake
by manipulating his limbs and fric-
ton of the body. until the natural vital

Seventeen miles Southwest Of this
city lives n family consisting of four
persons. The parents are an aged pair,
the mother having attained her SIN
ticth year aud the father u tottcrihg
and bent veteran of seventy. The rest
of the household consisted of two
young ladies', daughters ofthe aSe-hon-
ored couple, and both Of great personal
beauty, welded to the magnetism OF n
highly mcrcUral temperament when
heightened the attractions OF the ilrst.
10 these two young ladies the sons or
two separate families had been paying
their addresses for some time. Atlast
the preferences of the daughters were
given to the sons of one of the rival
houses, to the deadly ali'ront of the
other, who guisedly mennced
the lives of the successful wooers.
On Monday night last rs the latter
were seated around the fire place in
unsuspicious conversation with the
young ladies and their father and
mother, the noise of horses feet were
suddenly heard ut the door and almost
simultaneous with the sound six shots
were fired into the windows directly
on line with the hearth, but just far
enough in front of those seated around
1t to infiict no injury. AS soon ms the
occupants of the room recovered from
the shock this sudden attack had caus-
ed, examination was made on the out
side to discover if possible the route
taken by the scoundrels who rode OIL
in gallop after the firing, but the night
being dark and the ground covered
with Il dense underground in front of
the house and for some distance
away from it, the impression Of the
horses hoofs We're disguised and the
bloodthirsty wretches ioiled all efforts
at ferreting out their whereabouts.
1t is supposed that the young men
who had warned their rivals that they
would kill them were connected with
the shooting, as they have LETT their
homes.

We are informed that an attempt
was made last night to enter the resi-

respecting this prohibition we can only
give the particulars of the affair ms

The family occupying the house were
aroused by q servant calling to them
that some one was trying to break III.
The first to awake was the gentleman
of the house who armed himself with
a knife, and stepping out on the gal
lery encountered the BURGLAR. who
instead of running off confronted and
in an instant had grappled him. "A
struggle ensued, in which the gentle
man of til house, found his only safety
was in using his knife, which he did by
a quick, deep and effective thrust into
the stomach Of his antagonist The
wound disabling the> man 50 he could
not be moved off Of the premises, he
was carried to a bed in the house when
