On Thursday morning what came near being a tragedy took place in a strip ol wood beyond the depotjust outside the corporate limits of town. Nellie Kennedy, wife of Nathan Kennedy, both negroes, left home shortly alter breakfast to do some laundry work in town, when, before she had proceeded far on the way, her husband, who had hidden by the roadside, fired his musket, loaded with No. 5 shot, at her, inflicting severe wounds about the head and neck. The shot was fire 1 at close range and evidently murder was intended. Conjugal infelicity is the putative cause, the facts of which will probably be brought out at the trial. On a warrant sworn out! before Magistrate Stufts Nathan svas arrested loursaay aaernoon and committed to jail. A preliminary healing was held before Magistrate Stutts on Friday, al whicL was adduced evidence in accord with the foregoing account j of the affair.
