We are glad to note that our citizens
are showing proper spirit in needing
the suggestions of the Council, in that
they are policing and cleaning about
their premises, sweeping the streets,
&c. We notice within the past few
days marked improvement in the
appearance of the streets. Now, then,
if a few OF our good friends will remove
various and sundries piles of stone,
lumber, and hideous looking arrange
ments which they are pleased to call
onlni6uses, left in the street, they will
confer a favor upon those who have
some pride in the appearance OF the
town.

and pleasantly, and everybody seemed
jolly, jovial and good humored. Truly
a gala day for the Masonic fraternity.

SHOOTING AEFRAY.-ThiS city wa,
shocked Saturday morning with the re-
port that wife had shot and killed hel
husband, down in the Eighth Ward
We repaired to the scene of the affIay
and ascertained the following particu.
lars from gentleman who lived in the
house adjoining that in which the
shooting took place: About IL O'Clock
Friday night our informant was start
led by the report of a pisto! in the
house of Isaac L. Freese, and hastily
ran out in the street, when he heard
two more reports. A moment later
and the fourth explosion rang out on
the night air, apd almost simultane-
Ously Mr.. z. made his exit through
the front door of his residence and ran
up street to the office of Drs. HaZlett &
Ford. Several gentlemen were sitting
in front of the Office, to whom Mr.. +.
remarked that he had been shot, and
requested that a physician be sent for.
The wounded man was taken into the
office, and DR.. II. summoned. On eX-
ANIMATION it was found that the ball
had entered Mr.. F's body in the region
of the stomach, infiicting a severe but
not necessarily fatal wound. After re-
F. was moved to the residence of his
During Saturday his condition was re-
garded as critical, so much so that he
was allowed to converse but very little,
and visitors were prohibited from en-
tering the room in which he was lying.
Yesterday morning he was said to be
more comfortable, and if it should
prove that none of the inteStines have
been perforated, he will probably soon
be out again.
The cause which led to this sad oc-
currepce is represented to be that Mrs.
f. desired her husband to dissolve
friendly relations with his fathers fam
lily. Mr.. F. is said to be a kind, inof-
fensive man, industrious and temper
ate. He had accumulated considerable
property, and was apparently enjoying
life with as much satisfaction as is per-
mitted mortals in this world. 1t seems
hardly probable that for SO trivial
cause wife would resort to the des
perate measures Mrs. F. did to termi-
nate the intercourse maintained be-
tween her husband and his nearest
relatives. So far as it is known, no
other is assigned for the murderOus act.
We were tvld that Mrs. F. remained
in the house until o'clock, Saturday |
when, after gathering up
money and valuableS to a considerable |
amount, she crossed over the river
into Ohio, and at the hour of our latest
had succeeded in eluding
the vigilance of the officers.
1t might be well to add that Mr.. I.
asserts that his wife first attacked him
with an iron poker, and afterwards
with a small fire shovel. Wrestling
these out of her hands, she drew a re-
y0lver and fired as above Detailed
