ADVICE TO DEMOCRATS.
TRoston Herald

We should not advise our Democratic
friends to take much stock in the statement
that Congressman Reed of Maine can be de
feated in his district in the coming election.
This is an experiment that has been tried in
several instances, and it has always resulted
in his favor. Maine is a pretty strong Re-
publican State, and Mr.. Reed is a pretty
strong Republican member of Congress.
The one is likely to stand by the other this
year much as usual. When q State gets a
man of Mr.. Reeds caliber to represent her,
it is to her credit to eyince her appreciation
nf him

CALL OUT THE TROOPS.
rRanpor WHO I

The people of Eastern Maine, who are so
substantially united in supporting a gentle
man of the highest character and who is
universally esteemed, will insist that they
have some rights that must be respected even
In Portland, and we have no doubt that the
Republicans of the chief city of the East will
take action at the caucuses this evening to
emphatically indicate the right Of our people
to express their choice in the Republican
State convention.

Some time ago we advertised
two lines of Mems Spring Over
coats at Ten Dollars each.
They were appreciated as a
good bargain and sold readily.
We have now closed the entire
lot at a reduced price and shall sell
them for Eight Dollars each to
close.
These garments are made from
a serviceabIe cloth, in light and
dark coIors, and are just the thing
for street, carriage or Island coat,
being we'll trimmed and made.
We are showing the handsom-

what we say, to be true, when you

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

a Prominent ArOhissoE of Sherman Left
for Dead.
Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, Tex, Feb. 2.-One OF the
most dastardly attempts st midnight as
sassinRtion ever recorded in this section
OF the country occurred in this city this
morning about o'clock, Thomas Woods,
a prominent architect, being the party as
saul:ed and who almost mirGculously
escaped unhurt, the assailSnts being two
unknown men. Mr.. Woods had been
engaged at work in his office
until late hour end when
he hld finished his work he laid down on
lounge to rest for few moments and
fell asleep. He did not waken till about
O'Clock, when he closed his flee and
started for home. He had gone about
half way when he heard some one ap-
preaching behind him, and looking around
ssw two men, but paid. 10 attention to
them and continued on his way until he
again heard them walking at rapid pace,
wnep he locked around the second time
and ssw them running to the opposite side
Of the street and could see
from their actions that they were
attempting to head him off.
Tnen he mSde an eff jrt to escape from
them by suddenly tnrniDg a corner, and
they opened fire with their pistols on
him, discaargiHg four or five shots, the
first ball passing through bis beard, but
the others without taking effect. The ss
sSulted man attempted to run. but fell
into depression in the ground and the
thought s.Iikiug MIN that it would be
better to feIgu dead, he lay quietly, when
enc OF the would-be Ssssssins who hSd
reached to within few PAGES Of him re-
marked, "We have killed him." snd both
turned and fed. No reason Is assigned
for the attempted murder, and the only
thesEy is thst the would-be ssssssins
we're mistaken in their m1n. The officers
have as yet been unsble to secure cleW
to the Perpetrators.

NEW YORK, Feb. The stock market
was duller than yesterday at the opening,
though prices were firm and fractional
advances were established in the early
dealings, but the improvement was soon
checked and the market becom-
ing very dull, prices sagged of
slowly and the list was carried
below the first prices before noon. After
that time there WAS more animation and
Increased weakness, though there was
very little progress made in the down
ward direction until near 2 p. m. when
the attack became more severe. The de-
cline was checked in the last hour and
under good support the list recovered
small fractions from the lowest
f5ures f1sllV closing dull Snd
steady at close to the lowest
prices of the day. The entire active list
is lower this evening, though with the ex-
ception of Manhattan which lost q
points, the changes are for fractional
amounts only; Northwestern, Lake Shore
snd Texas and Pacific going down !.
Railroad bonds recovered their tone
this morning, being strong and fairly
active, though they felt the force Of the
weakness in the share list. The final
prices, however, generally show advances.
Government bonds were dull and rather

GAZETTE OFEIoN,
EoPr.WORTE, Tex. Feb. 2, 1855,
Trade to-day with wholesale merchants
has been quite active, up TO the standard
OF the first part Of the week. The bust
ness was nearly all by order.
Retailers have been quite busy, not
!; withstandIng the unpleasant condition Of
the streets and roads.
Butter and chickens are so plentiful az
to value very low, but turkeys
and eggs are the reverse, and
will bring almost any price.
Trading was rather restricted this week
and tone of the market WAS as s whole,
stronger, with slight price advance
shown up to Thursday night. The contin-
ued light crop movement, added to the
generally strong tone Of the southern
markets and the fairly good Sdvices from
Liverpool, were credited With causing the
latter movement, while the deepening IN
C rtainty as to the ultimate outcome OF the
crop apparently prevented any definite
movement by the bulls or bears. Elison's
statement of stocks and consumptionithis
week was some what Of bear card, show
ing as II did large spinners' stocks and q
slight decrease IN the consumption from
what was apparently expected. The effect
was only temporary, snd caused only sn
inappreciable decline on Wednesday. On
Thursday stronger tone wss perceptible,
owing chiefly to stronger advlces from
abroad, added to continued strength
shown at kthe south, inducing a covering
demand from shorts. On Friday the
future market WAS slightly easier, due in
a great measure to the disappointment at
the interior stocks not losing as much as
was expected.

permitting the resumption Of individual
collieries granting sn per cent. advance.
This had csused division in the ranks
Of the strikers. The collIery, coal and
iron police are on duty heavily armed
with carbines, and this force will be
doubled before night to protect non union
men on their way home. The division In
the strike committee is occasioning alarm
