Bloody ARRAY At LOuisvIlle-An Editor
Terribly Beaten, aud kufiian Shot.
The Louisville Courier of the 22d
inst, says:
An oyster saloon on Market street, be-
tween Third and Fourth, was the scene
of a desperate and perhaps fatal fight,
yesterday morning at an early hour
Col. J. Ruckstuhl, local editor of the
Anzeiger, went into the place and took
some refreshments, at table where sew
eral Germans we're eating. When he
had finished he called for tho bill, aud
Martin Miller, the proprietor, told him
that he must pay for the whole party.
Ruckstuhl refused, and Miller then lock
ed the door, and warned him if he did
not comply with tie demand he would
assault him. The editor told him if he
did he would shoot him. Miller then
struck him, and his brother and four or
live others took part in the affray. They
got Ruckstuhl down, and were beating
nm terribly, when he drew small re-
volver and shot Martin Miller, the ball
entering the left nipple, and inflicted
fatal wound, in all probability. The
crowd then fled, leaving Ruckstuhl the
victor of the field. but covered with his
own blood, and very badly injured.
The Colonel was one of the braves
who fought at Bnena Vista, 10 the Ken
lucky cavalry, and be bears to this day
the scars of the many wounds he receiv-
ed in that bloody fight. The ruftians
who assaulted him are in Jail.

on the roofs OF buildings on rainy days,

giles for nearly double the time they
would last if not thus treated. Put it
on thick enough to make the roof look
white, and two applications will clean
OFT the moss and leave the roof white
and clean. 1t should be applied annually
but if the lime is not to be had very
conveniently, wood-ashes will answer
the purpose.

Co. sued farmer the other day, who, after sell
ing them a load of wheat and taking their tick
ct for the same, resold it to another buyer who
paid him a little higher price. There has al
ways been mere or less trouble of this kind in
the market here, and we presume there always
will be: for as there is always black sheep in
every flock, so there is always to be found an
occasional farmer who will be guilty of some
such trick as the one to which we have alluded
We are glad to know that instances of this kind
are rare, and that the great body of farmers are
honorable men who are above any such petty
transactions. When they once take a buyers
ticket, they consider themselves bound to deliv-
er the article sold, and the buyer likewise holds
himself under obligations to pay according to
the price named in the ticket though the mark
ct may have fallen materially Immediately after
giving the ticket and before the delivery of the
property is made, The giving of the ticket on
the one hand, and its acceptance on the other,
are regarded by honorable men as just as bind
ing between them as if the transaction were on
a cash basis.
The result of the suit we spoke of has not yet
TRANSFERRED. We have no doubt however, that it
will be adverse TO the defendant, as it should
be. He ought TO be made to refund the differ
ence between the price he sold for in the first
instance and the one he finally received and
if little were added to the Judgment by
way of smart money. we think it would do him
good and lead him hereafter to stick to his bar
gains, when he once makes them

Inasmuch as you have opened your columns

1t is well to discuss politics, to labor for re-

that the material wealth and consequent happi-

not only dealing in material harmony, but also

that their interests will be quite as fully secured

deep interest throughout, by large and atten

benefit to all who are engaged in teaching the

DnD TDT II Al n,

We do not deem it necessary to add anything
by way of urging general attendance upon
the next Fair at Lake Mills We know that too
little interest has been taken in such matters in
this county to have the exhibitions what they
has been the cause. We incline to think how
ever, that the fault is entirely with the Society
itself and the people whose business it
should be to add to the attractions of the Fairs
by taking articles of their own production there
for exhibition Unless Farmers and Mechanics
take an interest in the matter, other people will
not, as matter of course. We hope the Society
will take new start and that it's exhibitions
hereafter viii be Of a higher order than they
have latterly been.
