ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF CITIZEN BY
NEaRo. In New Orleans, on the 25th ult. a
violent and most daring attempt was made on
the life of respectable citizen, by free negro,
the particulars Of which are as follows: The
negro, who had been for some time past loiter-
ing ia the neighborhood, BY some means pro-
cured moccasn snake, a large and formidable
reptile Of its species, which he enclosed in a
frail box and brought into store, and the pro-
prietor not liking such company, threatened to
kill the reptile ii the negro did not Immediately
remove il. Words ensued between the parties,
when the negro snatched q large cheese knife
off the counter and gave the proprietor Of the
store severe and dangerous stab in the breast,
from the effects Of which he is not likely to re-
cover. The negro made good his escape.
