ASSAULT AND BATTERY.--A few days
since specimen of the colored persua-

q fellow-countryman named Davis. He
was arrested and fined for it when it oc-
Cured. Davis was fighting rebs at the
time, and only returned to the partner of
his life yesterday morning. 1t so hap
pened that he encountered Robinson in
tho East Wheeling market house in the
afternoon, when he gave him to under
stand that such conduct would not be
tolerated Robinson retaliated in very
abusive language, and finally appealed
to muscle Thereupon Davis had him
arrested and taken before Alderman
johnson, who fined him ten dollars and
costs for assault and battery.
WASHINGTON CouNTY.-It is stated
upon what is called reliable authority,
that oil was struck last week in the
Sanders we'll, on Cross creek, Pa, about
one mile from the Ohio river, and three
from the State line. The amount pro-
duced is not stated. Cross Creek is be-
ginning to look up as an oil territory,
and prices of lands are greatly enhanced
by the recent strike. Property on Peters,
Pigeon and Mingo creeks, and on Buffalo
is also advancing, and the oil prospects
there are considered good. Oil is report
cd to have been struck ON Prosperity

"OTHELLo's OCCUPATION ALMOST
GoNE."-The business at the various
Provost Marshals offices is getting small
by degrees, and beautifully less. At this
point, as we'll as all others in this State,
the clerical force in the military offices
have recently been reduced, and yet there
is scarcely work enough for those re-
tanned in employ. From these signs we
infer that, in very short time, the insti-
tuition of Provost Marshals will be a
thing of the past.
