ATTEMPT AT MuRDER.-We are in
formed that on Saturday last, about
dark, near Mr. Vim. Sterretrs farm,
on the other side Of Kanawha, a man
named Simpkins attacked Mr.. W. A.
shiltz, on the road, while on his way
home, and dealt him heavy blow
on the head with gun-barrel, and
struck at him the second time, but
missed him. Mr.. Shift is said to be
in acritical condition, and Simpkins
has fled the country,
If Bro. Blake desires to receive
any votes for Town Sergeant, he
would do well TO exercise his author
ity, and clear the Kanawha wharf,
so that the ferry boat could have
landing, AS it is now, it is filled up
with flat hoats, &c, and no team can
be taken across the river. This is a
great annoyance to the travelling
public, and should be lemedied at
once.
Jimmy Gould, who will be remem-
bercl by by many of our citizens, is
back again, and contemplates start
ing u silvcrsmith shop in this place,
In an unlucky moment, in fit of
passion, few years ago, he stabbed
young man in this place, for which
he vas arrested, convicted and sent
to the States prison. No charge Of
dishonesty is brought against him,
and if he should open his shop, and
tries to do better, the people should
encourage him
A gill says that when she dies she
desires to have tobacco planted over
her grave, that the weed noutished
by her dust may be chewed by her
bereaved lovers. There is poetry in
the idea!-RnhaadLc Nctcs.
She had better procure a Govern
mcnt License, or her "lovers" might
get into Uncle Sans clutches.
Blinker McCIintock got on a tear
Sunday night, and undertook to take
possession of Mr.. John Troschke's CT
gar Store. He struck the proprietor
and put him out of the house, where.
upon Mr.. T. called Constable Whaley,
who summoned a posse and landed
Blinker in Jail.
We received the following, Mon
day;
Don't stop my paper, printer,
DON! strike my name off yet;
You know the times are stringent
And money hard to get;
But tug a little harder
Is what mean to do,
And serape the dimes together,
Enough for me and you.
We want everybody that reads this
item to know that we are in debt and
also that we have more than enough
owing us to pay all we owe. The
