A SHOCKING OUTRAGE.-A man by
the name of Foster, a painter by trade,
who lives about a quarter of a mile South
OF town beat his wife in a most shock
ing manner on Tuesday evening. Mr..
James Anderson, a neighbor of Fosters,
found Mrs. Foster lying in the fence
corner and took care of her. When he
accosted Foster with: "You have killed
your wife," the wretch replied, "She
ought to have been dead long ago." Mr..
Anderson then came into town, had a
warrant issued, and the scoundrel was
arrested and brought before Esq. Neis-
wanger. He was recognized in S1OO.-
His attorney, went his bail, and Foster
left for parts unknown.

NEW DISCIPLES CHURCH.-Among
the many new improvements making in
the thriving town of Bellaire, there is
none that reflects more credit on the
projectors, Or adds more to the thrifty
appearance of the place, than the new
church in course of erection and rapid
ly approaching completion, by the Dis
ciples congregation In point of archi-
tectural style and finish and general
-neatness of construction, it's one of the
finest buildings in Eastern Ohio, and
the few men who have contributed
largely for its erection are entitled to
credit for the public spirit manifested.

He will be the next President in spite
of the world!"
The inimitable "Spivins" had also
said in his dispatches, that the Demo
Gratis were having jolly time rejoicing
over the victory, and the editor afore-
said, being anxious to have share in
the fun, started off by the first train for
Columbus, to assist Spivins and the won
deriul J. G. II. in their rejoicing over
the triumph of Pendleton and green
backs. .-e
Before he left. however, he assured
the faithful who remained at home, thai
Immediately on his arrival at the city
of rejoicing, he would send them the
glorious news in detail, by telegraph.
Feeling some anxiety about the fel-
lows safety, we had some of our friends
at Columbus to look after him, and he
was seen, about 9 o'clock on Wednesday
morning, indicting the dispatch given
below, looking so forlorn that our artist
has attempted to illustrate his appear
ance, but protests that his picture does
not do "justice to the subject" because
no picture can represent the forlorn and
hopeless look he wore on that occasion.

Williams, Esq, of Fayette county, "the

Mr.. Williams is the only candidate who
proposed to submit his claims to DEM
ocratic convention. No convention,
however, was held which could nominate
candidate, and as Mr.. Williams is q
sound Democrat, and has been in the
field all the time, and has received the
countenance of Democrats everywhere
in the district, we consider him nearer
the regular" candidate than any one
who comes out on the heels Of the cleo
ton and contributes, by every vote he
secures in the city, to the election OF
Judge Reeves, the Radical candidate.
In the absence of nomination we feel
at liberty to support the man of our
choice, who has worked hard all over the
district, and, in eur opinion, is the only
man who stands any chance of election
against the Radical nominee-especially
since Judge Scruggs is Ineligible.

MORE SHOOTING.
Two Policemen and Varieties Actor
severely Wounded.

A shooting ARRAY took place last night
at the Parlor Music Hall, on jefferson
street, which resulted in the wounding OF
man named Veaudemont, of can can
notoriety, and two policemen. The stage
carpenter of the establishment, whose
name is johnson, called and demanded
pay for some work, amounting to four
dollars. Mr.. James Schooles, one of the
proprietors, put him off for few min.
utes. This did not suit Mr.. johnson,
who was tipsy and in hurry, but caused
him to use some abusive language and to
throw out some great long oaths like
shavings from his plane. Schooles be-
came provoked and gave him one
from the shoulder. johnson drew pistol
but was put out of the house, but imms-
diateIy returned and fred at Schooles
through the green bushes OF the door.
The ball missed its aim rod or so and
struck Mons. Veaudemont in the region
of the hip, inaicting severe but not
dangerous wound. johnson ran down
toward the postoffice, pursued by officers
Rice and SWEET, who called on him to
halt and fred several shots at him with
out effect. At the corner of Third street
Johnson, finding his pursurers at his
heels, turned and opened fire on them.
At the first shot SWEET fell badly wounded.
The ball entered just below the heart and
came out below the shoulder-blsde
behind. Officer Rice fred then at John
son without known effect, and was in turn
fred upon, and severely wounded in the
right hip. Rice fred twice after he was
wounded, but with bad aim. johnson
stood there and emptied his pistol at
them, and then escaped, and although
every effort was made by the whole force
in both districts be was not found last
night. A large crowd collected in very
short time, but the performance on the
stage never paused. 1t could not be dis
turbed by the little matter of three men
being shot. The policemen were sent
home, and DR.. Lynch extracted the ball
from Mons. Veaudemont's wound. Had
johnson been found last night before the
crowd dispersed they would have been
disposed to handle him roughly, but he
was sober enough to keep out of the way.
