Attempted Assassination J.ist before going to press last week we heard of the attempted assassina tion of Capt. li. J. Croft, bi t were una ble to get lull particulars. We learn sitiCtt that Capt. Croft and two of hi- son* were plowing about three, hundred Yards from III-house and In full sight. As Capt. Croft turned hi* plow, at the road, where the r.iws ended, he ws* fired upon from ambu»h. the shot^Sl n number, striking and wounding him from the neck (p the ankle, and some entering the plow stock. Fxamlnattoti of the wood* showed that hi* hidden enemy had shot while in a squatting position. Tin re D no doulit in Capt. Croft's mind of the guilt of John Good- win, colored, who had been working for Capt-Croft for five or six weeks. In that time Gopdw in had received advan ces to the amount )t seventeen dollars, and upon Capt. Croft’s refusal, until he had worked out his Indebtedness, to ad vance him ten dollars to buy a suit of clothes, he became angered and left, making threats of bloodshed to other colored persons. Diligent search was made for Goodwin, hut without success. None of the shot have been taken from Capt. Croft’s body, and he has been getting along very well, when the number and nature of his wound* are considered.. Teachers' Meeting.

The custom of sending one on a boot less errand or otherwise “April fooling” him on the first day of April is very an cient, Yet it cannot truthfully bo said that any one is equal to the task of trac ing it to its origin. Some antiquarians profess to believe it a survival of the travesty of sending the Bavionr hither and thither, first from Annas to Caia- phas and then to PilqRkhnd Herod. This opinion is strengthened by the fact that during tho middle ages that very scene in Christ’s life was made the subject of one of the Easter “Miracle Plays’’ enact ed on the chief streets of Loudon and other English cities of tho first class. Even though the above opinion Jw* re ceived tno sanction of Braude, Mobro and Hone, it in not nt all hnlikely that it is really a relic of some old heathen festival, snch as the Hull festival of tho Hindoos or tho Roman “feast of fools.” Tho custom, whatever its origin, of playing tricks and pranks of all kinds on the first day of this month is univer sal throughout Europe and is also prac ticed in many other countries and un der various names; It is a curious fact that the Hindoo Hnli festival, where April fool tricks of all sorts are played, is held on the night the 31st of March, and the orgies are not discontinued un til sunrise on. the morning of April 1.— St Louis Republic; POTENCY CU *" CATARRH lbs M CENTS PEN BOX (Ptecs).
