The TEMPERANCE Picnic AT LeETowN.
The Temperance Picnic. under the auspices
of Leetown Lodge of Good Templars, came
Oft, as per announcement, in the grove near
that place, on the 18th instant. From the
LEICESTER correspondence we learn that stthe
exercises were opened by singing, music, and
prayer by Rev. A. G. Rodgers, after which
Rev. Henry Nice, of Shepherdstown, was in
troduced, and made very pleasant speech,
delivered in his usual happy style. He was
followed by Rev. A. c. gers, in a neat,
forcble speech. After dinner the audience
again assembled at the stand to listen to a
speech from William l.. Wilson, ESQ, of
Charcstown, which was interesting as we'll as
chaste and elegant in language, and was lis
tened to with the greatest attention. Mr..
Wilson was followed by c. T. Butler, ESQ,
who made short but excellent speech, full
of sound, practical advice, with few hard
hits at tipping church members"

an extensive reputation, in walking her

negress pulled from her pocket long
pipe, and commenced smoking some
very "uniOn" tobacco to the infinite dis
gust of her host. The man maintained
his cOmpOsure several minutes; but the
fumes and smoke became too powerful
for him, and, rising from his chair he
said -

ATTEMPTS TO AssAssINATE LOUIS Ma
PoLEoN.-At least six plots to assassin
ate the late Louis Napoleon were made.
In October, 1859, when Napoleon, who
was on the eve of becoming emperor,
was at Marseilles, an internal machine,
formed by $50 gun barrels, charged with
1900 balls, was to have been discharged
against the Prince and his cortcge, but
the design was not carried out. On July
S, 1853, fresh attempt was made to as
sassinate him as he was going to the
Opera Comique. Twelve Frenchmen
were arrested as concerned in the con-
spiracy. On April 28, 1855, Jean Liver
ami fired two shots at the Emperor in
the Grand Avenue of the Champ Elysees.
In 1857, Thibaldi, BartolOtti and Grill
came from England to Paris to assassin
ate the Emperor, but were discovered,
arrested, tried and punished. On JAN
uary 14th, 1858, Orsini, Gomez, Pieri and
Rudia threw their shells at the Emperor.
On December "a, 1868, Greco, TrabuccO,
Tmperatore and Scagliani, who had gone
from London with the intention of kill
ing the French Emperor, were arrested
in Paris.
