AN AFFRAY. Two MEN STABBED
Last Monday afternoon just after the
main performance of CASTILLO e. Van
Weeks circus was over, and during the
negro concert, two or more youD~ n, q
from the country were found peekiug
through the canvass, and as the showmen
say, cutting it. Some of the hands
bounced on to the young men and had
scrimmage. One of the young men.
Nelson Waterhouse, broke away from the
crowd and ran, two Of the hands took af.
ter him. As one Of them came up Wa.
terhousc struck him with knife cuttipc
into the left lung above the heart. Soon
after another Of the HAMS came up
to him, and he cut him on the left side,
lower down than the other, cutting into
the lung and making wound about five
inches long. 1t was thought for a while
that this man would surely die of his
wound, but it is now thought that both
will get well. After the wounded men
returned to the canvass several of the
hands started in pursuit of Waterhouse
and chased him into the chamber of Mr..
A. Gilbert's woodshed, where he found
an cid gun and kept off his pursuers till
one of them threw stone and hit him
on the head and knocking him down,
when they rushed in and took him.
Some of them were for killing him at
once, while the others opposed it and
saved him. At this time the Sheriff
came up and took him off to Jail. At this
time the excitement was great, men on
both sides were making terrible threats,
but the sheriff placed guard composed
of the Union Guards around the Jail, aud
there was no further disturbance. The
wounded men were taken to the Union
House whe % they still remain. The
proprietors Of the circus thought it best

DJ THE GREAT Circus is coming,
and will perform in Upton on the l4th
inst. There has been several shows
here, but We sre confident this one will
be better than all of them combined
they have the most celebrated actors, the
best Of horses, and in fact you will get
the full worth of the price of admission
by one look at the Golden Chariot, which
is drawn by twelve caparisoned .steeds,
as the troupe enter town. 1t is one of
the most gorgeous AMI grand construc-
tions ever formed by genius and art. 1t
cannot be described by words, but the
eyes must behold it in order to fully con
ceive its many attractions. Read the

TIE WONDERS OF THE MICROSCOPE.
We understand that it is through the
agency of this marvel viewing Instrument
that DR.. Aver has at length succeeded in
finding the paludal miosm and detern;H-
ing its character. Or its effects We in
this section have abundant evidence in
the Fever and Ague which it alone pro-
duces when absorbed through the lungs
into the blood. 1t has lopg been held to
be vapor of water from decayed and de.
cay ing vegetation Under great mag.
nifying power the Doctor has found this
vapor to contain distinct organisms or
living bodies, corresponding precisely
with those found in the blood Of Ague
subjects. They are $4,000 times less
than visible to the naked eye, but have
distinct character and form. He thinks
they arc reproductive in dccaying matter
or in the blood, and hence their long
continued life or the remote effects of
them in the system. He maintains that
they resemble in character the other fer
mentative poisons, or such as the virus of
rabies or of dead body, &C., all Of which
are known to reproduce themselves with
great rapdity like yeast in moistened
flour, so that the slightest quantity i'm
pregnatcs the whole mass. Yeast through
powerful magniier is seen to be for
rest of vegetation which grows, blossoms
aud goes to seed in short time. Miasm
is not so distinctly vegetable, but has
more the appearance Of animal life, al
though its motions cannot be distinctly
distinguished. What the Doctor claims
to have settled is that it is an organic
substance and he has further found and
embodied in his "Ague Cure" what will
destroy it.-Leadcr, st. Louis, Mo.

For the Westera Democrat.

MR.. EDITOR: have read a communication in
your issue of the 3lst ut, strongly depicting the
abuse and wrongs of the private soldiers of the
army at Petersburg. The remedy suggested by
the writer is most excellent one and will commend
itself certainly to very large class who have
witnessed the troubles and sufferings visited upon
the noble men to whom the whole country look for
salvation. 1t is scheme eminently worthy, aud
be made speedily practicable. Let place OF
rest and refreshment be provided for the relief OF
these battle worn martyrs in journey in which
every heart will feel interest and every purse
lend its help
Let this enterprise be urged until it is put into
execution. 1t is far more important at this time
and will be fruitful of happy results than all
the Mission and other Societies in the land. Moth
ing is encouraging to the soldier than the re-
Election that the people at home are sensible OF MS
great services and appreciate his heroic sacrlhces,
and nothing more bitter than the consciousness OF
injustice and ingratitude. To escape for short
season from the hardships Of the camp to hold fei-
lowshp with friends and dear ones at home Is the
golden leaf the bright in the history OF soioer
life; but if to accomplish this he is to run the
gauntlet of exposure and neglect exforton anu
imposition, such as your correspondent has Hu'h-
fully represented. then it will to be the con-
ISOLATION and cheering promise it should be- surrey
such project will not want support and nourisn-
ment or fan to find an advocate i'm every man VINO
preys for success.
earnestly hope, Mr.. Editor, that some gooa
Samaritan who can command the influence OF sue
cess will take this matter in hand.
