«JJr r e have to record tho narrow escape from a pistol shot of Mr. A. J. Kilt. A revolver was dinch arged near him as ho and a lady friend were passing in front of the Presbyterian parsonage just aftor nightfall on Tuesday evening of last week. Mr. Kitt imagined that the contents of the weapon passed in close proximit\*to his person and on exarniu- * | ation discovered that the ball had penetrated tho tail ot his Overcoat and passed through tho cloth of ids pantaloons near tho hip. The fright of tho young lady who accompanied hiuvpccvented a search for tho miscreant who fired the pistol, but Mr. Kitt believes it to have been the work of carelessness and not intention, as he knows ol no one w hose grudge would prompt him to attempt murder. It was a singular occurrence, and a narrow cscapb for tne late pencil pusher.— Monticollo Herald. We notice from tho Loganspovt papers,that Dr. I. B. Washburn has removed to Rensselaer, Jasper Co., and will practice his profession at that place. • The profession will miss the Doctor, for a more earnest, indefatigable worker, or a more carefql, competent practitioner can not he found in Cass or any of the adjoining counties, lie will mate a valuable citizen in his new locality, and will always be counted as oito in every good word and work. From our long acquaintance with Dr. Wnsliburn, we esteem it a picture to.coinm.eml him to the people of Jasper Cob My -Winnnia.- Hem- j » •’. it.
