A FIZZLE.-The mill between Allen
and McCOOle, set to come of to.day, is
likely to become fizzle, as We learn
from the Cincinnati papers of last night.
Allen is eager for the battle, but big
Mike seems TO be in dread of his antag-
onist and will agree to nothing he does
not propose himself. We hope that the
two previous matches between these
men and the present tizzle will lose prize
fighting the little held it had obtained
in this country.

MELEE.-Our good friends in Bridge
port unfortunately have among them a
class of persons ever ready and willing
to travel on their muscle, and some
parties having taken on good Load of
benzine, concluded to traYel to the hall
where the M. z. Church Festival was
going on, last Saturday evening. The
aroma from their stogies at once per-
vaded every corner Of the hall, to the
exclusion OF that of the bright-hued
flowers every where to be SEEM
The party OF roughs were informed
that their smoking was offensive to
the ladies present, and they were asked
to desist. A multitude of words
brought on blows, scientific and other.
wIse-the otherwise being with chairs.
The affair was soon settled, the muscle
men retiring with sore headsSS1eaving
with the festival some whose optics
were darkly surrounded.
AS usual there was no officer on the
spot, and as yet no arrests have been
made. The leniency extended to the
roughs of that place, by corporation
officers for the past few years, has
made them bold to indulge in any out
rage, almost, they may wish to.

SLIGHT ACCIDENT AT A Pic. NIC.-A

the citizens of Bellaire were enjoying
themselves hugely on Bellaire Hill,
Saturday afternoon. when rain storm
came suddenly upon them, dampening
their fun and fnery and sending all
down the hill in hurry. That worthy
citizen and efficient landlord, the pro-
prietor of 1.-THE Globe" was enjoying
the occasion with his best "turnout. -
On his way home, descending the steep
hill the horse became unmanaseable
and upset the buggy, throwing out Mrs.

ing them. Fortunately no bones were
broken. "zeke'Scan keep a hotel, but

TEACHERS AssoCIATIoN.-TheW heel
ing Teachers Association convened In
the City Council Chamber on Saturday.
June 18th. The meeting was called to
order by Mr.. F. 8. Williams, and the
minutes of the last meeting were read
by the Secretary.
Mr.. Williams lectured on the "Metric
system of Weights and Measures"
lie said The Metric System on account
of It's extreme simplicity, is destined,
sooner or later, to become the establish
ed method of the United States, hence
it Is necessary for teachers to render
themselves familiar with 1t. He repre-
sented the system upon the blackboard
and by explanation rendered the whole
so simple that in few minutes all
understood it perfectly.
Mr., McMechen then delivered a lee
ture on Physical Geography Using
cipal mountain river and desert sys-
TENS of the world. We will not at
tempt to give the substance of his lee
ture, which occupied about an hour, but
will just observe that it was full of In
terest and instruction. This was fol-
lowed by discussion upon different
theories in regard to the formation OF
the mountains, in which Messrs. Snow
den, Boyd, Galloway and McMechen
participated.
The following officers were elected fol-
the ensuing three months: President
Mr.. F. 8. Williams; Vice President, Mr.
Rhodes; Secretary, Miss Ella Boyd
Treasurer, Miss M. E. Taylor; Execu.
tive Committee. Mr.. Rhodes, Mr.
McMechen and Miss Day.
AT the next meeting Mr.. Snowden
will lecture on some point in Natural
Philosophy, and Mr.. McMechen will
continue his lecture on Physical Geog-
raphy.
On motion, the Association adjourn
ed to meet on the second Saturday II
September.

Boy B1TTEN.-Friday evening or
Saturday morning, dog belonging to
gentleman in North Wheeling, bit a
little boy, inf1icting no severe wounds,
however. Some one who has no spe~
cial love for the canine race, called the
attention of officer Junkins to the oc-
currence, and demanded that the dog
be killed. Officer J. sought out the
owner OF the animal and made known
his business, when he was informed
that the cur had been given to a coun-
tryman, and had already been taken
to the rural districts. That ended the
matter for that day. The dog soon got
tired of the country and made his APP
pearance at his old quarters on Sunday.
We did not hear tof his slaughter, yes
terday, but sharp lookout will be
kept on his movements.

knocked over by fellow-workman. 1t
is not known whether this was done
intentionally, or was an accident
