On Saturday last two men, VIII ose names
We could not learn, entered u grocery in
the town Of Santa Fe, in this county,
about twenty miles from Cairo, and soon
afterwards engaged in an angry alteration,
Words lead to blows, when one of the men,
seizing u heavy glass tumbler hurled
il at the head of the other with all the force
at his command. Wesly Price, a respect
able citizen Of the county, was sitting in
his wagon, directly in front of the grocery
door. Tho glass, missing the object ut
which it was thrown, struck Mr.. Price
directly in the forehead, knocking him
senseless, and INJECTING injuries from which
he died within forty-eight hours. Mr..
Price was wounded on Saturday aud died
the ensuing Monday.

DAVIDSON not only deals in plows, culti-
vators and the thousand and one traps,
tricks and implements 50 useful in and
about the farmers home, but has the habit
of keeping everything which can be found
no where else. Ono can learn more
about the inventive genius Of mankind,
or, more properly, Yankee ingenuity, by a
ten minutes inspection of the multitude
of contrivanccs and queer, useful and or
namental "contraptions' collected in his
warerooms, than can be learned from any
book on inventions extant. Lest this ex-
preston be misconstrued by some of the

tower" We feel called upon to add the as
surance that, in making II, We entertain no
purpose whatever, to "hurt the Democratic
party.

Two battles Fought, , s:a . Third "H''A'r'd
The little village Of Goose Island, In this
county, was all aglow with excitement, a
few days ago, from the following cause,
viz: Robert Russell, n we'll kit, muscular
country man, was engaged in a quarrel
with one Joshua Thurston, when u third
party, named Green +. Moss, entered an
appearance, apparently asa mere specta.
tor. The quarrel progressed to point
where Russell thought that blows should
begin, and, accordingly, he commenced
drawing his coat for a fight. The instant
he threw his coat back so US TO cucumber
his arms, Green +. Moss amounted him"
Being taken at great advantage, Russell
could do nothing more than 20 take u
drubbing quietly and philosophically rs he
could. Moss took full satisfaction, and
then retired in good order. Russell gained
his feet, threw of his coat, and avowed
himself SO much displeased with
the result that nothing short OF
another round would satisfy
him. In due time he found Moss In Gun
tcrs store, and then there attacked him
A furious fight ensued, and Moss received
about ms complete dressing of Ms he had
administered to Russell. As this result lef'
matters about where they were at the com.
mencemen,, Moss expressed himself dis
satisfied, and only awaits AN opportunity
for third contest, the issue of which he
thinks will prove satisfactory.

,,ryST FROM TVuLApIgs,

Since the introduction of Phalons Vi
Italia or Salvation for the Hair, ladies who
formerly used dyes, are universally aban-
doning them. They find the new article so
harmless, so clean and pure, SO pleasant to
the senses, and withal so superior as a
mean. Of renewing the original color, that
they absolutely shudder when they think
of the filthy stuff they once used.

Especial Dispatch to the Republican,
WASHINGTON, Dec. s.
1T is NOT FAIR


IT'S NOT FAIR.
1t has been stated by Radical Senators
that the President had declared that it
seemed to him unfair that one of the
principal committees of the Senate Chat
on foreign reations) should be SO or
ganized as to be against one of the most
important questions ofthe administration
foreign policy. An attempt was made in
the Republican caucus this morning to
remodel it by displacing Mr.. Patterson
and appointing Mr.. Conkling as strong
counter irritant to Mr.. Summers we'll
known opposition to the San Domingo
annexation scheme. Mr.. Sumner nared
up at once and very warmly denounced
the proceeding as a censure on the past
action Of his committee. Mr.. Wilson
took this view. The caucus committee
said that Mr.. Patterson had been given
the Craftsmanship of the district commit
tee, which was . compensation for the
change. Mr.. Sumner did not agree to
that. Mr.. Patterson, he said, desired to
remain with the foreign relations COM
mittee, and the change looked like an at
tempt 10 puck INC CointHiltcc III "hN "hNc
in favor Of San Domingo. The debate
at this point became very excited, Sena-
tors Morton and Chandler stepping for
ward and warmly defending the change.
Mr. Trumbull thought it was small mat
ter to produce such an excited discussion
and counsclled moderation and harmony
between Republican Senators themselves
and with the administration. Mr.. vii
son said that Mr.. Patterson felt aggriev-
ed at the reported change and desired to
remain for personal reasons ON his Old
committee; and he, Wilson, therefore
moved to recommt the subject to the
caucus committee, with instructions to
report the old foreign relations commit
tee Mr. Patterson here jumped up and
said he did not propose to take single
crumb from the administration through
the hands Of Mr. Chandler. Wilson S
motion was carried by two to one, and
subsequently the caucus reassembled, re
ceived the report, ratified it, and after
wards the whole list of committees was
ported in open Senate and adopted The
