TERRIBLE FIGHT YESTERDAY
TWO Men Ixtlled 8
MANN EApLY wouN Died


We have just learned from an eye-wit-
ness, some of the details of a terrible and
bloody fight which occurred yesterday,
about two miles and half this side of
Richmond. ON the Dayton aud Western
Railroad.
It appears that freight train with a
passenger and baggage car attached com
ing east, stopped at Richmond. A party of
some twenty-five Irishnen, most of them
hands who had been employed on the road.
aud who had been attending a gathering of
some sort In Richmond, got on board the
train, In the passenger car. They were all
or nearly so, under the influence Of whisky.
Soon after the train started they became
noisy and disorderly, using proiane and
obscene language, TO the great annoyance
of the passengers. On the conductor go-
ing to remonstrate with them, he was
attacked by one of the men. with knife
upon which he caught up a shovel aud
knocked the man down. 7-
Then the fight commenced. The train,
which hadnow proceeded about the distance
above stated, was stopped, and general
fight ensued, lasting as our informant
states, fully half an hour, Those engaged
In it were the party named, on one side,
and the engineer and firemen, the hands
working on the the train, and some of the
passengers on the other. The weapons
used were knives, shovels. stones and the
bolts used in coupling the cars.
One MANTLE one who first attacked the
conductor-had both eyes entirely knocked
out; others were terribly cut about the
head and face, and bruised and MANNED in
various ways, and when the train started
two men were leftlying along side the track
supposed to be dead.
Our informant describes the scene as
bloody and revolving in the extreme, and
as he was present and saw all that trans
pired, we have reason to believe that his
statements are not overdrawn or eXagger-
ated.

WILD GANH IN VIRGINIA. 1.-The Virginia
papers are talking about the deer hunting
now going on very successfully in the
mountains OF tile Shenandoah Valley. One
party, in eight days,killed twenty-six
deer; and another party Of twenty-three
hunters aud thirty-four dogs, secured in
the North Mountain, in one week, twenty
eight deer, wild cab and some turkys
and pheasants.
That kind of sporting Is the real. Some
what different from hereabouts, where you
pop over one or two rabbits, chase a squir-
rel into not-hole, or,after a whole weeks
fatigue, bring home a brace Of "ban-yard
pheasants," purchased from some enter

eH-DR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS
are constantly becoming more aud more
popular. They are acknowledged to have
no rival in the cure of such diseases as
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Fever of all
kinds, Jaundice, Cosiveness, Pain in the
Stomach, Side, Head, Back, and Bowels,
Bilious Complaints, Loss OF Appetite, Sick
Headache, Scrofula, Scald Head, Rheuma-
tisun, Collie, Pleurisy, Pimples and Sores on
the Skin, Palpitation of the Heart, Lowness
of Spirits, Pain or Weakness of the Breast,
Diseases of Spine and Ksdneys, Sore Eyes,
Diarrhea or Dysentery, Cold, etc.
Most of the above-named diseases may be
prevented by taking DIR. Morris VEGE-
TABLE LIVER PILLS in season, or when the
liver becomes first deranged, which carry
off, through the bowles and the secretions
of the skin and kidneys, those poisonous
humors that clog the stomach, bowels, and
skin, and become accumulated in the blood
There has been as great progress in sci
ence, and especially in that of medicine,
within the past few years, as there has in
the arts. To such perfection have they
brought TINS science, tnat the medicinal
properties are condensed and concentrated
into the resins or salts of the plant, which
they extract from it, and leave the inert or
woody matter. The old mode of extracting
these medicinal properties-by boiling for
a long time in water-is found, in most
cases, to render the medicinal qualities
wholly inert or even decomposing them.
DIR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS are
composed of chemical vegetable extracts,
mostly from plants growing in our own
country; some of these plants have direct
action on the liver, Others upon the skin,
Others on the kidneys, and others upon the
bowels and lungs. 1t Is by peculiar
chemical combination of all these extracts
that these Pills are made, possessing the
most extraordinary efficacy for curing the
above-named diseases.

CHRIsTMAs.-This holiday has come and
gone. We would be glad to record the fact
that it had been observed here in a manner
befittiug the sacredness of the event which
it commentaries. Candor will not allow
us to do this. While 1t was no doubt the
occasion of many pleasant and cheerful
reunions around the family hearth-stone
and the Widespread board, the city was
disgraced by frequent scenes of drunken
ness and disorder. Bad whisky developed
itself in numerous fights and riotous con-
duct on the streets, and we grieve TO say
that the return of this delightful and time
honored anniversary was characterized by
conduct altogether unbecoming the day,
and such as tended in very great degree
to mar the pleasure of those who hailed it's
advent as time of rational, peaceful enjoy
nent. Let us hope for better things.
should the Giver of all Good permit us to
greet the return of another Christmas Day,
But while we thus hope, we confess that
we have but slight anticipation of better
state of things. The churches which here
tofore eXerted n salutary influence over the
masses of the people are now powerless for
good. Political preaching has so demoral-
lied the community, that we fear almost
for the foundations of christianity; and
certainly the Bacchanalian scenes of yes
terday have at least a tendency to dampen
the most sanguine hopes of the christian
patriot. While we would in no wise wish
to see the anniversary of the day that
brought so much joy to the world observed
in a morose and pharisaical spirit, yet the
lawlessness and intemperance which char
acterized its late return, we trust may never
be witnessed again in our midst.
Spasmodic efforts, denunciatory in man
ner and intemperate in language, however
meant for good, we fear have the contrary
tendency. Nothing, in our judgment, but
the constant advocacy of the doctrines OF
that pure gospel of peace and good will to
men which was proclaimed by the angels
TO the shepherds, on the plains of Bethle-
hem, more than eighteen centuries ago
viii eradicase the evils which now Sc
alarmingly prevail.
