Assassination OF King
Humbert.

A Naples dispatch Of the 18th has the
following:
AS King Humbert was entering the
city, in state, yesterday, u poorly clad
man attempted to assassinate him with
-poniard. Signor Carolina, Chief Minis
ter, who was in the carriage with the
King, laid his hands on the man, who
wounded him in the thigh, when the
King drew his sword, and struck the as
sassin, who was Immediately secured. The
King only received a slight scratch. Pop
uar indignation is intense, aud the dem
onstrations of loyalty unbounded. The
assassin is twenty-nine years old, and by
occupation a cook. He says he belongs
to no society, but being poor, he nour-
ished hatred toward the King.

TT The Logan County Enterprise OF
the 2lst, says :

the list, says
A man by the name of Dudley, was
shot and killed on Sunday morning last
by some unknown person. The jury OF
inquest were not able to decide who did
the shooting. The evidence of Mrs
Dudley and her son was to the effect
that Mr.. Dudley was 'unwel, and that
two men came in, and after talking with
her went out, and then two guns or pis,
tolls were fired, both penetrating the
body, either of which would have been
Immediately fatal to the unfortunate
man. There is some mystery about the
matter. and there is a suspicion that Mrs
Dudley bad something to do with it her
self, and. very likely, did the shooting
herself
LArER.-Mrs. Dudley, we learn, was
indirectly charged by the jury of inquest
that set upon the body of her husband
of completely in the murder, and upon
warrant, issued by Justice Rogers, OF
Cauthrown township, was arrested or
Tuesday morning, and held for examina
ton by him. and we have not vet learn
ed the result of the preliminary examin
