MURDEROUS ASSAULT-
. Monday nxglit nt Houston Factory
William George, a boy about seventeen
years eld, and son of Mr. Frank George,
was assaulted wit!: n’fjstick by a man
named James Walker. ‘.Young Geotge
was knocked down, and the blow was ft
terrible one, ns it was unexpected and
not warded off. Mr. George Potter
and others interfered and probably pre
vented a murder, Tuesday Judge Not
tingham issued a warrant, against Walk
er for assault with intent to murder,
but we learn he has fled to | arts un
known. It is stated that he lives in
Columbus and had left that place to es
cape p nuishment for nsimilai difficulty.
Our infor mation is that George’s inju
ries are severe, but not thought fatal,
YVitL onr first issue in January we
1 begin the publication of a splendid
continued story entitled “An Irish Ad-
^ et >turer.” It is a most thrilling nnd

FORTUNE TELLiNG-
Monday night several young gentle
men of Perry visited a supposed Gyp-'
sie camp, about two mile from town on
the Hcudeison road, to have their for
tunes told. After toiliDg through the
deep sand they reached the camp and
were met by tour stalwart men in
line.
“Good-Evening!” saidG., tliespokes-
lmn.
“HowM ye do?” ^
“We wau’t to get our fortunes told.”
“Faith and fbe-dad, we’re not that
kind o’ piiple.”
“What?j Wo thought yon were Gyp
sies.”
“No, we’re not nnythur.”
“Who nro yon then?”
“Bej'ijtliers can’t yon sne we’re nsft^"
ing bat honest Irish pniple a tbrav ! iiug
through the co untliry; and we can bait
the braith out of the mon that would
take us for Gaipsies.”
“Good Evening, Gentlemen.”
“Good-by, and bad luck to iv’ry one
o’ ye.” ■
Two miles back bemsr through the
deep sand, and these youiig men are re
solved in the future to be tliejr archi
tect of tho own'fortunes, and not pur
sue the romantic muizos f of the Gypsio
camps.
The (Isutata-SuitA Olaus.
The canta ta last Friday night- by the
pupils of Hou ston Female College, was
one of the most delightful entertain
ments we ever saw:- It was well sung
and acted, and we must especially com
mend the training of the little children
by Mrs. Johnson, who had only about
two weeks for preparation. Every one
sustained her part well, and the dar
lings were just as sweet as could be, es
pecially the five to ten year olds, and if
we were not a married man, we would
include the “swpet 16’s.” Every oce
of the large audience was more . than
pleased with the entertainment.

Burglary in Ferry
Last Saturday night the store of A. B.
Schilling & Co., was entered by bur
glars and about three hundred dollars
worth of clothing stolen. An entrance
was effected by prizing the frout win
dow shutters apart, breaking a glass and
pulling ont the pin that fastened the
bar. Among the articles stoien, was a
fine wedding suit just made for Willie
Hcaser. The burglary was a'skillful
and daring one, and reminds our people
of the necessity of better securing their
houses, and being more watchful. The
loss is a heavy one on Messrs Schilling
& Brunson, and we hope they mav get
a clue that w : l\ lead to the detection and
punishment of the thieves, and the ie-
covery of the goods.
