It s ems that a la - ver named Payton entered the house of a M. Lawrence, during the absence of the latter gentleman, and proceeded to the sleeping apartment of the lady if the house and made a dishonorable proposal to her. She, with the courage of a true heroine, di charged a loaded pistol -it the insulter, but. missed her murk. P. yton fled, but. the next day the lady saw him in the street, and going up to him discharged her pistol in his face, blowing out one of his eyes and inflicting a frightful wound. Surgical aid was at once called, but our informant says the opinion was that Peyton would die. •‘The Sherifl’uf Gallatin county proceeded to nrrest Mrs. Lawrence, but that lady had left the State to visit some relatives in Indiana. Her httsbane, who has since returned home, says he will die himself defending her before she shall be arrested.” is the golden age of the Jews in America.
