SERIOUS AfFRAY-L4NcH Law in GE-
AuGA COUNTY AND THE REsutT.-On Sat.
urdsy night last. a serious afIray occurred
In the vicinity Of Mays Mills, in Auburn
which resulted In the death Of one of the
most respectable citizens of that place.
The particulars Of the affair, so far as we caf
get them, are about these:
1t seems that Mrs. Abbey and her two
daughters were considered as harlots, and
made themselves obnoxious to the neighbors
by their lewd conduct, and although the laws
Of Ohio provide, we believe, for the punish.
ment of such offences, the neighbors resolved
upon driving them away by force, and &C.
cotdihgly, on Saturday evening, formed a
party Of ten or twelve and proceeded to the
house to "trip up things" and drive the wo.
men away.
The latter had had intm alton Of the pro.
posed attack and had invited Jeremiah Alb
bey, Gather. in. law of Mrs. A., who resided
near by,) Clark Blood and q man named
Kendid or Condit. Blood went, armed with
i cavalry or "horse" pistol and Kendid had
common brass pocket pistol. The pistol
carried by Blood was laid on the table near
the west window of the house. About ten
or eleven o'clock in the evening the citizens
Attacked tke house-khocked the doors down
and broke the windows and smashed up
some OF the fHrniture-but offered no per-
aohsi yfdtsRce to any of the inmates.
M. Tyrus Garfield, one Of the attacking
party, went into the house and kicked over
the stove, and was passing out Of door
hear the west window where Blood's pstOI
lay on the table, when lie was fred UPON by
one OF the inmates of the house and killed
He was conveyed Home, Where his wife
(.leeping with little babe and another
child was aroused from her slumbers tc
learn that her husband was shot. The meI
Who carried him home left immediately for {
physician, and Mrs. G. was left alone with
her dying husband, and two little ones. He
died in about three minutes after, or some
fifteen minutes from the time he received thu
wound.
4 jiry Was Summoned by Esd. Burnet
III the uBseiics Of the Coroner, to inquire
Into TIE death OF Garfield, and they tstdrns,
a verdict "that Tyrus Garfield cume to hi'
death by bali discharged from pistol il

Speaking of saloons reminds us tn
HENRY JAMES has "capped the climax"
this particular. With public spirit that
commendable, MIR. James has fitted UP tv
rooms under the Collins House, where O
citizens can enjoy the luxury of bath du
ing the warm season. But he has given Il
establishment o name that is out Of all LAT
tude. II Ravenna, with its population
5000 can be called city-if washing
hard water can be called bathing, and if
twofby six room can be called saloon
then we suppose he is justified in calling
the "City Dathing Saloon
