DR.. Bum, il will be remembered in
stituted the Temple at this place, and
is O live worker in the cause. He was
awarded the highest Office in the gift
of the Grand Temple for his faithful

will fill the place with honor to him
self, and the order.
We are in receipt Of communi-
cation dated at White Oaks, and post
marked at West Hickory, telling us of
a prize fight which is to take place on
fleming hill" on the 2Sth inst, giving
the parties names, and saying that the
bet is $50 a side. 1t is signed by
name of which we can learn nothing,
consequently don't know whether
the correspondence is a legitimate
thing, or sell. The parties who are
to try their skill, are both females,
and for fear we might injure some re-
spectacle women, through ignorance,
we omit their names. Should we learn
that the correspondent wrote in good
faith we shall probably regret not
having published his letter. We act
as seems to us right.
AT Petroleum Centre, on Tuesday
evening last man named William
Dwyer shot his wife several times with
revolver, while he was under the in
Auence of liquor. Tive of the shots
took effect in the shoulder, one in the
forehead, one in the cheek, and one in
the breast. He was arrested and is
now in Jail. The woman's wounds are
not pronounced necessarily fatal. She
is a woman loved, and respected by all
who know her. He WAS game at first
but has now streak of repentance on.
Shooting is getting monotonous in the
oil regions. Cannot the programme be
changed?

j. r. Stroup, of this place met
with an accident which will unfit him
for work for some time to come. He
was working on Proper's barn, on
Dutch Hill, and in trimming the
branches off a tree he had felled, the
AK glanced, and cut cash in his
right leg, just above the ankle. about
three or four inches long. He was
carried home, and is still confined to
the house. He has our sympathy, as
well as that of the whole community
"A great want of this place is
tenant houses. Scarcely day passes
but we hear inquiries for houses tc
rent. Should some capitalist put uI
ten or dozen good houses to rent al
reasonable figures, he weuld have nc
trouble in filling them in a short time
with good responsible tenants.
