article from the pen of the Watertown
correspondent in regard to appropria
tions, duties of the selectmen, working of

have things done as he suggests.

ROXBURY-
AN ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF GRAND JUB-
OB SANFOBD.
The citizens of this place were thrown
into great consternation when it was an
nounced that on Sunday evening, March
21, Grand Juror A. W. Sanf ord had had
an attempt made upon his life. About
8 30, while in his pantry taking a light
lunch before retiring, he heard some
stones rattle just outside his ho :?e. He
opened the north door to make an inves
tigation. Just as he stepped out on the
door step a flash of a pistol greeted him
and the bullet whistled past his head, go
ing into tbe house out of sight. He hur
riedly entered the house and securing his
pistol made a search for the dastardly
villain. He only found tracks and has
not as yet found out who it was. The
people of Roxbury are loth to believe
that they have any such inhabitants in
town, and think that it must have been
done by some party from out of town.
AT THE FALLS.

AN ELOPEMENT IN ROXBURY.
Following on to tbe shooting affray
came the intelligence on Tuesday that
tbe station had an elopement, whereby
they lose one of their citizens in the per
son of William Allen, formerly proprie
tor of the Allen house, and
the daughter of James
Spargo. Mr Allen is a man about 60
years of age and the lady about 20. Mr
Allen leaves a wife and grown up chil
dren. No search has been made for
them. As badly as the families feel,
they do not think there is any good to be
obtained searching for them.
A GOOD SAMARITAN.
A clerk in one of the stores, as he was
about to close up the store for the night
went to the barn to lock up and found a
man laying upon the ground close to tbe
horse's feet. It looked as if he had gone
to nnbitch and fell in a fit. He had been
gone from tbe store nearly an hour, so it
is not known how long the man had lain
there. After considerable shaking he
finally aroused him and assisted him into
his carriage and he went home. The man
was out the next day, none the worse for
the experience he had passed throngh.
