STABBTNd AFPRAY.-Near tn 9 hour
OF midnight, Saturday, a serious stab
bling affray came of on the corner OF
Ninth and Adams streets, the victims
being William Watt and Ralph Pick
eTing. From testimony deduced from
witnesses IL appears that an old feud
existed between Thomas Watt,
his brother and Ralph Pickering. On
Saturday night, about 10 o'clock, Will
liam Watt and his friend Thomas
Pickering, went to the house Of Evan
Jones, on Ninth street, where Picker
ing boards. The two men were in the
house some time, when Watt invited
Pickering home with him to stay all
night Pickering declined the in
viiation, but agreed to ac-
company Watt ms far as the
corner Of Ninth and Adams. The
two started out, and on reaching the
corner they were set upon by Thomas
Watt, who stabbed both OF the men
with n dirk knife. Pickering was cut
seriously in the abdomen, and now lies
In critical condition, with but little
hopes of his recovery; VIM. Watt less
dangerously. After the deed Thomas
Watt started for his home on Linden
Avenue, where officers Love and Wor-
thington arrested him half an hour
afterwards. After a preliminary eX-
animation this morning Thomas Watt
gave bail for his appearance in two
weeks, in the sum OF So, 900. There Is
an old feud existing between the BROTH

SECESSION REDrv1vus.-we are in
formed by gentleman of unquestioned
verncity that the secessionIsts in the
neighborhood of Taylorstown,- Pa,
raised "a hickory pole on last Thursday
night, and run up on it a secession
flaG,-n regular "red white and red"
They took the precaution to drive the
pole full of nails for several feet above
the ground. so that If any one were dis
posed to remove the hickory and its vile
rag, considerable difficulty would be
experienced In doing so. A gentleman
Lying in the nelghborhood who has
seen it every day since 1t was put up
says, that the nag has no held and no
stars, indicative we presume, of the
condition to which the rebOls would re-
duce the Union should they once get
into power. It is also a noteworthy
fact that this insult to the loyal people
of that vicinity WAS flung to the breeze
during the night after the grand Demo-
oratico. rebel fizzle in This city, and that
there was quite delegation here from
that neighborhood. Put this and that
together, and what do you make of it ?

RIVER ITESIs.-BusIness was quite
brisk on the landing during the early
part OF yesterday, notwithstanding a
fine drizzling rain fell throughout the
entire day. The James Rees, from Sun

Vile, were the only arrivals. The New
State left for Wellsburg and Pittsburgh,
at ga. M; the Express, for Parkersbnrg,
at IL a. M, and shortly after 3 p. m. the
Rees and Forest City cast of, the Tor
mer for Sunfish, and the latter for Steu-
benville. The Major Anderson left the
wharf for Cincinnati at AZ, with fair
trip. At 6p. M, the water by the pier
marks stood 5 feet inches, and rising.
A dispatch from Pittsburgh reported G
feet Of water at that port.
We gather the following particulars
OF the Steamer Silver Cloud No. 2,
which sunk just below BeIlaire on
Monday, from the Cincinnati Gazette.
"when she left here she had the fol-
lowing freight: IS bales cotton, 100 tuDs
pig iron, so boxes essence coffee, 100
pkgs merchandise. 125 bales hay, 3I5
empty barrels, so dozen tIerces. and "a

AGRICULTURAL FAIRs.-The TWEEN
tieth annual Agricultural Fair of Bel
mont county opens this morning, and
will continue three days. We have
heretofore spoken ofthe ample grounds,
of the excellent facilities for exhibiting
stock and all farm products, Of the
list of liberal premiums offered, and
content ourselves this morning with re-
minding our readers OF the opening,
and urge as many of them to go out to
st. ClaIrsviIle as can possibly make II
convenient to do so. 1t matters but
little whether you are an exhibitor or
not. The trip will do you good, and
the sight of the splendid horses, cattle
and sheep, the beautiful flowers and
array in Art Hall, the display of agri-
cultural machinery and fine vegetables,
will be a qualification. Added to all
this, our Buckeye friends will be en-
Outraged to go forward in this matter
OF preparing for these annual gather
ings, and will oztend to you a cordial
welcome.
To-day, also, our neighbors east OF
us, In Washington, Pa, throw open the
doors of their Fair Grounds, and invite
everybody to come and see what they
can do in the agricultural way. They
have Issued flaming poster, and prom
ise to mingls amusement with the So
Der realities of their exhibition. a spe-
cial train will leave the Hempfeld De-
pot this morning at o'clock, and leave
Washington on returning at o'clock,
p. m. We presume this arrangement
will continue during both days of the
Fair, and will afford our people fine
opportunity to get there and back. 1t
is hardly necessary for us to say that
the folks up there do things on large
scale, when they set about it, and are
not to be swerved from their purpose
when they determine to be successful.
This has characterized their previous
efforts In the Fair line, and we have no
doubt will be the case in the present in
stance. Go up, and show them that
.yon feel an interest in such matters,
even II you cannot be permitted to give
evidence oft by attending an Agricul-
turaI Fair at home.
