He doubtless then bethought him that, as he had succeeded so well in opening ladies' letters, he would be as triumphant in frightening or injuring our women and children. May his name be infamous for the dastardly deed ! Several large shells exploded high in the air, the pieces flying in all directions, far and near. One piece traversed the roof of Mr. Tankersley's house, one square in the rear of Mr. Brown's and Gen. Nichols' residence, on Broadway. It went through the pantry, next to the kitchen, and through the outer plank wall into the yard. We heard of a piece falling at south side of the Public Square, penetrating the roof and floor of Mr. J.

For the last fifteen years our friend Jeff. has been a citizen of Missouri, and was at one time Mayor of the flourishing city of St. Joseph's, high up on the Missouri river. When the John Brown raid broke out, Jeff. was among the early arrivals at his native town, Charlestown, and we believe was there when Old John's light was extinguished with the aid of a hempen cord.

That Jeff. will now give a good account of himself no one that knows him will doubt, if he can only be restrained till the opportune moment for an attack.--Fred. Herald.
