Mnrdernus Assault.

The depredations ON the coal ears
of the B. q o. r. r., has at last ter
minated in an assault that may yet
prove fatal to very respected citizen
of the town. Mr.. Henry Havey, who
resides on water street, having pur-
chased a carload of coal, proceeded
early on Monday morning to see that
it was not disturbed by those who had
no right to it. He arrived there at
about 8 O'Clock, and as he states,
found three colored men filling sacks
with the coal, and ordered them off.
They refused to obey, and after a
short quarrel violently assaulted him,
and one of them threw a large iron
bolt used in coupling cars, at him.
The missile struck him with tremen-
dous force on the head, cutting a
fearful cash and telling him lifeless
to the earth, where he lay for several
hours before consciousness returned,
when he was able to crawl home. AS
soon as he could speak he charged
James Smith, colored, as being the
person who threw the bolt. Smith
was Immediately arrested, but on
account of Mr.. Hayey's precarious
condition was kept away from him
until late Monday afternoon, when
he was taken to Mr.. Havey's room,
and identified by Mr.. II. as his as
sailant. Smith was then committed
to jail for examination by Justice
Matthews until Wednesday. We
understand Mr.. Havey's recovery is
extremely doubtful.

ANGLING NOTES.

The. Potomac river on Thursday,
from Little Georgetown to Falling
Waters, was lined with fishermen,
hailing from Williamsport, Hagers-
town, Chambersburg, Harrisburg,
Martinsburg and other places.
Adam Small, Esq, caught sixty
bass at Dam No. 5, on Wednesday,
and about thirty on Thursday.
A fishing match came off on Thurs
day at Little Georgetown, between a
merchant fishist of this place and the
king fisherman of the latter place.
The merchant was badly played out
but declares his intention tohave the
contest over. He came out four fish
behind, in half a days fishing.
We interviewed a gentleman who
went out fishing for the first time on
Thursday, and from his experience
we cleaned from him the following
deductions in regard to fish and fish
ing. He evidently returned some
what demoralized. He says:
Fishing is game that is played
with a minnow at one end and a fool
at the other.
Lazy people only are successful an
glers. Fancy the first Napoleon sit
ting for fonr mortal hours watching
cork without getting a bite.
Angling is only diabolical sport.
Think of the sufferings of an impal-
ed minnow, wriggling about in the
water, may be for an hour before
death releases him from his suffer-
ings.
Old Izak Walton should have been
hung.
If people will fish, let them fish in
the cistern. They will find it cheap
Ell and quite as satisfactory as the
Potomac, while at the same time
they can dispense with bait and avoid
the crulety of the sport.
Anglers claim that fish for the ta-
BILE are much better when you catch
them yourself. We don't know how
this is. The Agassian theory teach
es that fish diet makes brain in the
man. It's a lie. 4 have always
been fish eater, and yet | went to
the Potomac on Thursday.

Bad Shooting.

A gun is dangerous thing, for
though it may shoot out of the open
end of the muzzle for many years,
still there is no telling when it will
kick to pieces in the rear and hurt
some person. The truth of these re-
marks can be fully verified by Mr.. Jo-
seph Miller, son of II. b. Miller,
ESQ, who on Wednesday of last week
was considerably injured by the ex-
glosfon of his rifle. He was squirrel
hunting, and being tempted by a good
large one'he hurriedly rammed home
the powder, but found he could only
get the bullet to within a few inches
of the powder. lie fired away, how
ever, and instead of seeing the squir-
rel tumble down had to pick himself
up and examine himself thoughtful
ly before he could tell whether he
was Miller dead or Miller living. TO
use his own language, :" he thought
he was blown to pieces" and he has
several painful wounds on his head
and face. 1t was fortunate escape,
and should bea warning to all persons
who handle fire arms. Mr.. Miller
has been rather unfortunate of late,
rs it is only few weeks since in
'chopping wood he nearly severed his
great toe from his foot.

Autumn Lcayes-How to Preserve
Them.


The season for gathering beautiful
vaTiegated leaves and pretty ferns is
at hand. Many handsome parlor
and drawing-room ornaments can
be fashioned from leaves and ferns by
those having few leisure hours to
spare. All that is required is ordi-
nary taste, a little ingenuity and n
corresponding stock of PATIENCE
First, gather the leaves from the tree
just as they are ready to fall, or as
soon as possible after they have fallen,
press them Immediately for a
week or more until they are perfect
ly dry. Procure half a pound of bees
wax, put it in q tin vessel, and place
the vessel in a spider containing a
little water, which may be kept con-
stantly boiling ON the top of the stove
over a steady fire. Take each leaf by
the steam and dipit into the hot wax.
Once dipping is usually sufficient
If the wax gathers on the edges touch
the place lightly with the hot tin
The leaves dry Instantly, and all the
bright natural colors are preserved.
By piercing the leaf near the stem
with a double thread wire you can
weave them on coarSer wire or on
large cord into any description of gar
lands.

WILL THE PARTIES SPLIT?

w LII HE II IL LIED CI LII
Currency is the rock on which the
two great political parties seem des-
tined to split, and this is being ac-
knowledged in more quarters every
day. Thus the New York Nation
says:
''It is becoming every day clearer
that the two great political parties
are likely to go to pieces on the finan-
cial question, in spite of the efforts
of both to prevent it, and that next
year, whatever may be the result of
the pending elections, there will be
substantially two new parties-one
for imitation and one for resumption.
What they will be called, or, if still
called Republican and Democrat, as
we presume they will be, which will
be which, it will be difficult to say
with confidence, but the chances are
that the resumptionists will be Re-
publicans and the inflationists Dem
ocrats, if these names are preserved.
But then neither party will be what
it is now"

Mr.. Choatc and the Ambitious Boy

A great many boys mistake their call

one did 1t is said that Rufus Choate. he

shire making plea, when boy, the son
of farmer, resolved to leave the plow
and become a lawyer like Rufus Cho-
ate.
He accordingly went to Boston, called
on Mr.. Choate, and said to him: II heard
you plead in our town, and have a de-
sire to become lawyer like you VIII
you teach me howp o..
"As well as can," said the great law

| His back ached, his head ached, his legs
ached. He knew not how TO study
| Every moment became a torture. He
wanted air. Another hour passed. and
Mr.. Choate came and asked; How do
