ATTEMPTED HIGHwAY ROBBERY.
On Monday evening, about 9
O'Clock, when Mr.. J.W. Sherwood left
his place of business for his home on
the south side of the city, he was fol-
flowed closely from Deller's corner
by two young men, TO whom he paid
no attention until he had passed q
little beyond Thomas Davey's resi-
deuce on South Street, when one of
the men passed in front pt him, and
Mr.. SherwoodleXpecting the other to
pass also, was seized 10y one at his
throat, while the other attempted to
rifle his pockets. Succeeding in
pratially freeing his throat, the IN
tended victim cried vigorously for
help several times, which seemed 20
strike terror to the riiiuans, for they
beat hasty retreat, one going East
and the other West on the same
street, and allowing Mr. Sherwood
to enter NJ. Davey's residence, and
proceed thence, with Scott Davey,
home Messrs J. j, Ross, Wm. Il.
and Geo. Henry, who were near Jer-
usalem Pump, ON their way home,
heard Mr.. Sherwool's alarm, and
started in the direction whence it
came, but not recognizing the voice,
and the cries ceasing, they supposed
it TO be nothing of consequence, aud
proceeded on their way home. Per-
haps the fellows wao attacked Mr..
Sherwood heard the Messrs Ross
and Henry, and were caused thereby
to ab, nd N the job 1t was u bold
attempt which none but desperados
would make. They are not of course
known, but some OF our officers have
slight clues, and hope to bring the
scoundrels to justice.

4 ClIANCB FOR THE PEOPLE OF MIN
ERAL POINT TO DO SOMETHING TO
WARD REvIylNG TUE PLACE. A.
LIBERAL OFFER THAT OUGHT TO BE
PROMPTLY ACCEPTED.
For some time our enterprising
townsnan john IIadield has been
endeavoring to induce parties at
Warren, Ohio, to establish at this
place flax mill the result of which
tAus far Is proposition from re-
sponsible gentleman OF large eXper-
ience in the business, to build here
large mill, costing about $4,000, and
furnishing employment to - to 100
hands, provided the people of this
city viii loan the company aboutoue,
third OF the capital necessary to- con
struct the mill and purchase the ma
chiuery, taking mortgage ON the
same, payable in four or five years,
with interest at per cent. per an
nun.
This certainly appears to be very
fair proposition, and the benefit Of
the establishment Of such a mill as
proposed in our city, can hardly be
over estimated. Besides, to the farm
ing community OF this vicinity, it
would insure ready market for all
their hAy-straw at good prices,
not less than s. per ton. Further,
it is confidently believed by some of
our most reliable business men that
the stimulous to raise FAX, would be
such as to increase the product 50
that the establishment of an oil mil
would follow close in the wake of
the proposed bagging mill,

Every man interested pecunialily
or otherwise, in the advancement OF
Mineral Point, should be in attend
ance That $4,000 to $40, 700 can
be readi y raised for such an impor-
tant enterprise, and on such good Sc
curity as this appears to be, it were
a reflection upon the intelligence and
financial soundness of our people to
doubt,

Story of q Circus Horse.

Without depreciating modern estab
lishments of this kind our recollections
go back to Astley's Amphitheater, near
Westminster Bridge, as it used to be 80
or 40 years ago, under the management
of the late Mr.. Ducrow. The feats
there performed by some of the horses
were exceedingly wonderful. The ami
mails seemed to possess degree of hui
man intelligence. They were accom-
plished actors. Their powers of simu-
lation, with view to entertain specta-
tors, went far beyond what any one
could expect whose knowledge is con-
fined to the ordinary class of horses.
We will mention u few particulars re-
garding the horses at Astley's as they
occur to our memory: One evening the
performance represented a house on
fire. All the inhabitants of the dwell
ing had managed to escape, except a
lady in an upper story. You saw her
at window throwing about her arms
wildly, and screaming for help. Her
appeals to the assembled crowd beneath
were heartrending. The firemen could
not reach her, for the stair was SEEM
ingly in blaze, and there was no fire.
escape. The spectators in the theater
were wrought up to an agony, it being
but too evident that the poor lady was
doomed to perish by painful and vio-
lent death In the midst of the commo-
ton horse which belonged to the lady
rushed upon the stage. In its stable it
heard the screams of its mistress, and
fastened to do its best to save her.
Without saddle or bride it was seen to
rush into the house, and climb the stair
amid flames and volumes of smoke. 1t
reached the apartment where the lady
was. She mounted on its back, holding
by the name, and the horse, descending
the stair, brought her safely to the
ground. Prolonged shouts of applause
rewarded the hazardous exploit. The
whole thing was a beautiful piece of act
ing, evoking throughout sentiments OF
pleasure and admiration. Nothing but
kindness and long-training could have
made the horse so clever in knowing
what to do, and to do it so well. The
feat was the more surprising as horses
usually have dread of fire which is not
easily conquered. 1t will be understood
that the fire had been so adroitly man.
