A prominent physician of this city was
coming home, from a professional
call, the other morning, before
the gray twilight had lllumined the eastern
horison, and to keep himself warm was
trotting briskly along, when in the out
skirts of the city he vas ordered to stop.
The voice not being familiar, he did not
heed it, but kept upon his brisk way home
ward. A second order, treated in the
same manner, was followed by the dis
charge of a pistol; but as neither word nor
weapon had any effect or the doctor, the
a~ssailant, whoever he was, gave up the
contest and went about his business.
