4 7sesotal Whig 1o,cn.-The village of Bloom- ingburs, Fayette county. Ohio, containing several hundred inhabitants, with several churches, stores, mechanics shops, and taverns, has ,sone-,ot one lOccfOeo in it. What is equally efedtable, there is not in the town or its neighborhood dram-shop, doggery, grocery, tavern, any other place where intoxicating drink can be had as beverage! And, scarcely less credtable, there may be seen in the several parts of the town three tGn ash poles, from which float banners inscribed, Clay and Freling- h1ysen, !" Harry of the West, !" Pick your nints go iti 800 majority for Fayette."

pRTzE FIGHT'TNc

Astonishing as it must seem to every one famil- far with the respect paid to the laws and the oVi ct order preserved in the city of Boston, yet it is, true that one of those relics of the worst species of barbarian, prize fight, has been suffered in the immediate neighbOrhOod of, and by those living in the city.
 It appears that the combatants were an Ameri- can by the name of Joseph Long, and an English man by the name of Jack Smith. The bets of the immediate packers amounted to $500. The fight took place at one of the lower islands of the har- bor called ' Little Brewster" It commenced at 9 o'clock, and continued two hours and quarter.- The bets were heavy, and mostly in favor of the Englishman-generally two to one. One hundred Smith staggered and his seconds interfered claim necessary to lance the eyes of Smith, to enable him to see his opponent, and the fight was closed.
 1.-the parties engaged in this debasng affair are suffered oescape the severest punishment that the law is capable of inficting, and the authorities of Boston do not set foot against recurrence of the thing in future, they may be prepared soon to ex- pect results equally heart-rending and fatal as those which recently disgraced the city of New York.-.N H. Courier.
 Tyo Persons Killed by Lightning. the 9th inst, John Clendenon, an old gentleman of 60, and his nephew, James Clendenon, an orphan boy he was raising, aged 20, both instantly killed by lightning, in Springfield township, Ia., while sit ting under large oak tree. They were making hay together when the shower came up, and took shelter under an old oak which stood alone near by, not regarding the many warnings which from time to time have been given to avoid trees in thunder storm.

A WHIG VICTORY IN COLCHESTER.

We learn from the Journal that at a special cleo ton held in Colchester, on Monday last for Treas ucer, Assessors and Board of relief, the whg tick ct was chosen by an average majority of 15. The usual time of choosing these officers is in October, but as the Treasurer was about leaving the place, the locos made the necessity of electng his success sor a cloak for choosing the others. Not whig had any suspicion that the meeting was 10 be held till the warning was up on Thursday. The locos expected to succeed, and of course were terribly chopfalen at the result. Their principal object in electing these officers at this time, was to enable them to postpone the election of Selectmen till af- ter the Presidential electionthey having the pres ent board, and fearing they should lose the power sad vote instructing the Board to call a meeting at the usual time in October. Look out then for whg triumph. -Hdrtford Coewdnt.
 Mysterious Crcumstance.-Abouttw two months sincc lady in a delicate situation, apparently about twenty-6v or thirty years of age, genteely dressed, and having the appearance of one who had enjoyed the smiles of the world, was brought to the house of Mr. Cory, residing about mile west of the village of Athens. by middle aged man having the appearance of farmer. He des- red Mir, Cory to take charge of her. assuring him that her expenses whatever they might be would be promptly paid, but requested him and his family to ask her questions nor to pry at all into her history or circumstances. Mr. Cory received her into his family, and short time since she was Saely QellYereu OI me nealtHy lhiant' lHo Hllnu of the lady apparently ill at ease before and af ter her confinement, and soon after her child was born she gradually sunk and pined away, until last week, when she died apparently of broken heart. Her physician, Or. Wheeler of Athens) before her death, timely informed her that she could not long survive and endeavored to induce her to reveal her secret but without success. All that could be ob- tained from her was, that her name was Heard> and that she had an aunt residing in the city of N. York On examining her trunk there were found three dollars in money, and scraps from manuscript journal from which it would seem that about ayear since she had visited some relations in Ontario County. The man who brought her to MT. Cory's visited her but during her residence there.- The infant remains with MT. Cory.
 We have felt it our duty to give publicity to these facts n hopes that from them the friends of the un- fortunate lady may learn her fate.

Tariff .4necdote-A Locofoco Farmer came 10 Wheeling market not long ago with cheese to sell. He made bargain with shoemaker and took shoes for his cheese. After the trade was made, he be- gan to grumble about protective Tariff. Said he, Now. with your rascally Whig protection, you have pocke,ed just the amount of the protection and take it from me without even an equivalent.'- The shoemaker replied that he thought he was mistaken. No, said the farmer. there is no mis- take about it; the consumer always pays as much more for the article as the protection amounts to and you may preach your Whg nonsense till you are gray, you cant make me believe it, We'll said the shoemaker, will make you fair proposition, and if your doctrine is true, it certainly is fair.
 will deduct the protection from the shoes, and you shall deduct the protection from the cheese, and so we will make fair exchange. Agreed said the Loco. Upon examination. the protection on shoes about 50 per cent. and that on cheese about 9 cents per pound. The poor loco gave it up and backed out, for he found his cheese was worth only cents per lb in that market, and that after deducting the protection, he would not only have to give away his cheese but three cents for every pound besides. He went home, hoisted an Ash pole, and now goes for Clay and protection His name can be given if required.-O Ohio Rep.
