OF The Covington Friend gives the fol-
lowing account of an ARRAY:
SHOOTING Observation-Disclosures Overbay, a
son of MIR. S. b. Overbay, of this place, was
shot with pistol on Tuesday evening, by
Nichols Williams, boy living at Dr. P.
Myers. One of the shots from the pistol took
effect in young Overbay's left breast, another
we learn passed through the window of Mr..
Overbay's residence, and came near hitting
one of the female inmates of the house.
Overbay's wound is not considered dan
gerous. Williams has not been arrested as
yet.
AS the case will probably undergo judicial
investigation, we forbear making any re-
marks.

0-rThe village of Brazil, in this county
has long been cursed by the presence of tn,
Kirtley family, known, at least by reputation
to most of the citizens of this and adjoining
counties. They have frequently been arrest
ed for misdemeanors, if we are correctly in
formed, but the elder Kirtley, being kind
of a pettifogger, generally managed to evad
the strong arm of the law, in some manner
A short time since building occupied as
tavern stand in that place was fired in tn
night and burned to the ground. Suspicion
rested heavily upon members of this family
On Monday night of last week party of me-
known as the Regulators, administered rath
B er severe dose of regulations to fathe
J and son of this family, and allotted them
) short space of time to Leave. While we regre

) congratulate the peaceful cities of Brazil
