knowledge OF Beekwith, and late Oh SATURDAY.
nlght, while Mr.. Cation was at No. 5 engins-
house, where he Is stationed, Beckwith invaded
the premises of Mrs c., and she ordered him
on several times. Not giving heed to her warn
ings, she seized musket loaded with Sun all shot
and discharged it at him, blowing his hat of
and peppering his head-several striking him
on TIE forehead, but glanced of. without doing
much damage. Beckwith beat hasty re,

ms wounds, swore aut warrant against
