County Judge.

So far as known the people have
not moved or given any expression
as to whom they may prefer to sup
port for their next County Judge.
No convention has been called and
no candidate has been announced.
During theimany years the present
incumbent, Judge McGonigal, has
held the office, the annual. income has
been so small, $500 to 5000, that
none other has seemed to covet the
place. The small income however
has been chiefly on account of so
many poor estates. and their inabili-
ty 10 pay probate fees. But under
the revised laws estates are paySto
in proportion to their wealth for pro-
bate administration, and all fees to
go into the county treasury, the
county Judge to receive salary
from county to be fixed by the
county supervisors. 1t is presumed
they may fix his salary very consid>
erably larger than it has hitherto
been. And Of course the Office may
for such reason be sought by the
competitors who would have de-
clined holding it at the income OF
Judge McGonigal
The office requires man for the
place of good ability and of known
moral uprig tness-one who may
be just as oonfdingly trusted with
our property in his hands after our
death as during our lives. But" II
will be said, "such men are hard tc

not all proven up. But few intrin'

Fatal Prize Fight ON the banks of sh,
Cayuga 4 aIEe. La la

CuyuHa \. 1IEes A 3l qszle
A terrible affair happened on the banks OF
the Cayuga Lake, N. Y, recently. Two men
named Donnelly and Mcclure had some dis
pute with regard to their physical strength.
Donnelly, who is a large, heavily built man,
of no particular pugilistic skill, had frequent
ly boasted that he could lick Mcclure, who,
was stout, wiry man, weighing some thirty
pounds less than DOnnelly. Mcclure had a
local reputation as boxer. Each man had
a crowd of friends, who angrily canyasse0
the strength of their jayorites, and did ever y
thing in their power to bring about fie,.,t'
Al last the preliminaries were arrany ed and
small sums OF money were staked Upon the
result. The fight took place on Saturday az
Isinoon' az oSden's dock, on tie west side of
Cayups. Lake. Several hundred persons
'.re present. Seconds, referees and an
umpire were chosen and the fight began.
The first round was a long and bloody one,
but Donnelly was finally sent to grass. In
the second round Mcclure gave D0nnelly a
terrific upper cut and Donnelly returned it
by knocking Mcclure into his corner. In
the third round Donnelly forced the fighting.
MCGUIRE sprang away from him, but was f.
nally knocked through the ropes. The fourth
round opened with signs OF fatigue on the
part Of Mcclure. The fifth round opened
with the closing of one OF Donnely's eyes.
Mcclure closed in with him and threw him
heavily. The sixth, seventh and eighth
rounds were marked by similar results. At
the beginning of the ninth round Donnelly,
who had been considerably blown, appeared
to catch his second wind. After some fibbing
he struck Mcclure a powerful blow on the
left temple. Mcclure dropped to the ground
like bar of lead, gasped twice, and died.

eyes and cried, my God, Eve killed himl o

1sfea tn0stsutord KY, Dispatch.
Last Saturday night party Of men went
to the house OF William King, who lives east
OF Dix river. near Preachersville. and de
manded that he should give himself up. This
he refused to do, when they informed him
that they would have to burn him out. He
still refused to surrender, when they set fire
to his house and burnt it to the ground. Be
lore the house had burned sufficiently to
compel King to leave it to save himself the
near approach of daylight caused the party
to disperse, and he did not fall into their
hands. What was tbe purpose of the men in
taking King, it is not known. But evidently,
from the manAer in which they proceeded, it
was to administer some of the ordinances of
Judge Lynch. s ss7 $ - ~
King has been guilty OF some acts which
are horrltying to the feelings of honest, up
right and humane citizens, and has thereby
Justly incurred not only the displeasure, but
the violent and undsguised hatred ofa large
number OF his neighbors, and probably mer-
ITS punishment which he will never receive
at the hands of legally constituted tribunals
OF justice. Still, it is unfortunate for the
reputation and fair fame of our country
abroad that this deliberate burning of his
house should have taken place, and we hope
10 publish no more such occurrences in fu-
ture. $500 55i.iiee .,ri "a 80 81 -
