The municipal affairs pfthe town

ceive them to their injury, they wise-;

whites the control of local" matters.
Hence the good order' maintained iff

around them a sweetness and a beauty akin
to the sweetness and the beauty.of the best

Attempted mar Oar I j;tf if hto
J On Mppdayvnight lasttjMr. John Zim
merman, of Grant, township, in this county,
was sitting at a window of f his residence
engaged in smoking, when some Pne fired
at him with a shot gun, loaded with bnek-
shot, two or three of which struck him: iir
tho head. That he escaped . death; under
the circumstances, is considered almost i a
miracle. Suspicion, we understand, rests,
upon a colored man bv the name of James
Donaldson, and a warrant has been issued
by Thomas Williams, Esq., a magistrate of
the township, for the arrest of the suspect
ed individual, but he. had not been can-
tured at last accounts, j The only motive
that can be imagined to account for this
attempt upon his life, is the fact that Mr.
Zimmerman accused Donaldson a short
time since of stealing a hog;
