to hope for just now, and we must
be content with what blessings
we can Gull in our passage through
this sublinary sphere, feeling as
sured that we are bou nd for a
higher and brighter one, "where
the inhabitants never grow old,
and where the flowers bloom for
ever.u Thus, "With charity for
all, with malice toward none"
and heart full of love and good
will, thankful for the many acts
of kindness that have been ex-
tended toward US, during the past

Gen. Cobb Shot by a Woman.
SAN FRANCISCO, December %
At ten o'clock this morning, Gen.
eral M. G.. Cobb, a prominent
lawyer of this city, was passing
up Washington street, when a
woman named Mrs. Hannah
Smyth, rushed across the street
and shot him, the bullet taking
effect near the lower part of the
spine. Cobb was removed to his
house. His left hip and leg are
paralyzed and his recovery is con-
sidered doubtful.
General Cobb was the attorney
for Mrs. Smyth and has advanced
her money. The case is now be-
fore Judge Hoffman. The wO-
man claimed that CO0b was too
slow with the case, and that this
is her reason for attempting to
murder him. She seems to be
careless as to the result.
