ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. An a$sassul
ton was attempted at kishtown last night the
particulars of which as narrated by Spectators
are as follows: Mr.. Lee Grimes, the proprlc-
tor Of one of the booths there, returned from
visit to the city proper about hal!-pa,t ten
clock, and was standing on the platform In
front of his booth, unlocking the door, when
he felt the wind made by ball as it spcad by
him between his chin and breast and heard the
report of pistol fired few PAGES south OF
him. He Immediately opened the door, and
as he entered it another ball, fired apparently
from the north of the adjoining alley, and at
such close quarters that the light from the cx-
plosion illumlned the entrance of the room
and the smell of tho burnt powder pcrvadcd
the whole locality, buried Itself in th" d"nr
frame. Both balls that fired first struck the
side OF the ice house of Mr.. lt"cII AlwcII are
now in possession Of MIR. Grimes, who, hog
ever, has no idea OF the man who attempted
to murder him.

The Sewing Machine Lobby.

We called attention few days ago to
the fact that the sewing machine interest
is at the present time represented by a
powerful lobby, which is, endeavoring to
obtain from Congress a renewal OF, their
patents, which are on the eve of expira-
ton. The Cincinnati Gazette, in an arti-
Gle ON the subject, says:
A thing more potent for Congressional
corruption than the Credit Mobilier, and
whose success means vastly greater rob-
berry of the public, is now laying its plans
to capture Congress. 1t is now q time
time when the stable can be locked before
the horse is stolen. We mean the combi-
nation of sewing machine manufacturers,
| whose principal patents are about to ex-
pire, and which is now laying its plans to
| lobby their renewal through Congress
Vast fortunes have been realized IN these
1 patents, and they have been used to make
| the American people pay twice as much
for machines as the same companies sci
their machines for in England. But moi
satisfied with this, the enormous proti
they have made is now combined to worn
through Congress their extension. The
extension of these patents, or of any ont
of the numerous patents OF auxiliary parts
with which they are all combined, woult
be so unjustiiable an extension of rlct
monopoly that it should be taken as evl
dence of the corruption of any membe
that votes for it, or becomes an attOrne.

A cyclone at Aspinwall on the Goth Of
January caused great destruction. The
storm was so sudden that many vessels in
the bay and at the wharfs were unable to
get to sea and were wrecked. Steamships
generally escaped. Athree masted schooner
the Royal Arch, of Boston, with coal for
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company was
driven stern first through the company's
mole, at which she was laying.
The schooner G. II. Kelley, OF Boston
broke adrift and went on shore but may
possibly be gotten off.
The Halifax schooner j. w. Halls, fell
foul of French steamer and suffered some
damage. Other sailing vessels were saved
principally by the active exertions of the
Panama railroad people. The damage done
to the Pacific mail wharf, with the whale
oil and other produce On it, can not be less
than 100000. One half of the French
wharf was carried away with two car load:
of indigo that were on it.
The Liverpool company wharf suffered
much from the bark, which was laying
along side of it when the storm com
menced.
1t may safely be asserted that there
not a sound wharf in Aspinwall.
Three small coasting schooners sunk a
their moorings. Very fortunately, tn
Henry Chauncey kept outside and thu
escaped the storm in the harbOr.
The brig Gilmore Meredith became
total wreck on the reef. A boat from tn
shore, in attempting to reach her, was UP
set and two Aspinwall men drowned.

TAKE CARE OF THE CALvES.-Much OF
the future growth, and in fact much OF the
profits of the farmer arising from his STOCK,
depends upon the care which it receives
during the first year. / do not wish to be
understood by this that if a farmer takes
good care of his stock the first year, he can
afterward let them run, haphazard every
good farmer will see that his stock is at all
times we'll cared for. But the first year is
the foundation ; it is the starting point OF
their future growth. There are many far
mers who are in the habit of giving their
calves nothing but whey, from the time
they are about three weeks old until they,
are weaned. They are then left to run and
| pick their living as best they may untii
winter, when they are taken to the barn
and put into some little back howell, Win
nothing but hay, till spring; or, as have
often seen, turned into a stack. In elthel
case, they are, when spring comes, sc
stunted and poor that they make but 9
slow growth ever afterward. Consequent
liz, when selling time comes, the farmel
finds his stock far behind in size and price
I of his neighbors who cared we'll for thel
calves. One instance of this came within
INV knowledge. Some steers raised a
