struck the other on the head with brass fau-

argument was against him. Then the victor
went quickly out through the back door, and
the other poor fellow had his head tied up.
Both parties were rather the worse for beer.
The man whose head was cut open, lives
near Genoa, and the strikers name is Slaugh-

From the Findlay Jefersonimi We learn
that child, about five years old, in Benton,
met with an accident, that resulted in her
death. Some one had been chopping logs
near the residence of the child parents, and
piling them up. He finished his work and
left one pile with a log lying across it in such
manner that very slight weight would
displace it and throw it down. The little
girl was playing about the pile and by some
means caused the log TO fall upon her. The
mother Of the child saw her and ran to relieve
Ter from her perilous position, but was. un,
able to move the log, which was lying across
the girls breast. Being deaf and dumb the
agonized mother could not give the alarm, and
seemed to be stunned. A neighbor saw her
and supposing that the log heap had fallen
upon her, came running to assist her. Un-
fortunately he did not see that the little girl
was under the log and stepped upon it. He
saw his mistake and Immediately removed
the log from the breast of the child; but life
was extinct. 49,. We learn that fire occur
