Guilty. Clay approached Young with agun, |
and threatened to shoot him. Young
dropped an axe, which he had in his hand,
seized the gun in Clay's hands, scufle
ensued, Young wrested the gun from Clay,
and struck him on the head with the bar
rel, broke his skull, fiom which he died
on Friday last. Young gave himself up,
and is now in our Jail. The above are the
circumstances attending the said ARRAY as

we learn, had before maintained good char
acters.-RanaaOha Republican.
ANOTHER FIRE ATTEMprED.-An at
tempt was made on Monday night, to set
fire to the barn on L. D. Dana, on Fourth
street. Between two and three o'clock,
the watchman in the Planning Mill on the
opposite side of the alley, saw man go
up the alleytothe barn, light some matches
and set fire to bundle of oakum which
he carried under his arm. At this mo-
ment the watchman snapped his gun at the
rascal, who hearing the report of the cap,
threw down the fire and took to his heels.
The watchman attempted to pursue him,
but being detained to extinguish the burn
ing oakum, he escaped. Very unfortunate,
we take it, that the gun missed fire. All
suspicious characters about town ought to
be closely watched.--Marietta LateAigencer
There is now in circulation large guam
tity Of five dollar counterfeit notes purpor-
ting to be the issue of the Northwestern
Bank of Virginia, payable at the branch of
Jefersonville. The face on which it is
printed is a facsimile of the genuine,
though the bills are somewhat blurred and
the printing imperfect. In the genuine
notes the word "Jeffersonville" is written,
and in the counterfeit printed, by which
they may at once be detected The general
appearance of the counterfeit is well calcu-
lated to deceive those not acquainted with
paper money; but reference to the branch
where payable will always determine its
character, whether genuine Or spurious
