Death of Granville s. Bennett.-Mr
Granville S. Bennett, of West Elkton, son
of the late John P. Bennett WHO served as
Provost Marshall, during the Rebellion,
died of consumption, at his residence, Oh
Tuesday last, in the Goth year of his age.
The deceased enlisted for three years,
during the late war, and was captured by
the Rebels three months before his term of
enlistment expired, and suffered the horrors
of fifteen months in Rebel prisons, the
greatest part of the time at Andersonvile.
From the terrible fortunes of those prisons
he never recovered. His toe-nails and
teeth were destroyed by scurvy, and his
constitution wrecked, SO that a severe cold,
contracted last winter, settled in consump-
ton, which terminated his life.
He was buried in the Methodist burying
ground, of this town, on Thursday last.
Fight ut Egg Hill.-A fight occurred
on that famous political stamping ground,
on Monday last, between two peaceful citi-
zens, of some magnitude.
Mr.. George Grow and Mr.. Hugh F. Scar
borough own adjoining lands, said lands
haI viz hu noft Go
of strife among neighbors, cline fence"
The cline fence sunk into decay and was
no obstacle to stock trespassing on their
neighbours grass and grain. Scarborough,
who suffered from the trespasses, had his
end of the "line fence " repaired, but he
alleges that Crow refused to put his part
of the fence in order, and in order to pre-
vent the stock of neighbor Grow from tres
passing, he told Mr.. Crow that he would
fix the fence and charge him Grow with
the work, and proceeded to do so. Grow,
however, ordered Scarborough off, which
order the latter refused to obey, when the
former proceeded to enforce his order with |
a haywood stick. Scarborough received two
or three blows from the club, on his arm, !
which were aimed at his head, but finally |
got Highlander on Crows eyebrow,
which checked the charging column, afford
ing an opportunity to Scarborough to take
a double reef in the gingham neckerchief
of his antagonist, and bring him to grass.
Scarborough in turn became the assaulting
party, and proceeded in a very unchivalric
and unscientitc manner, to use his boots
on the fallen foe. Grow got disengaged
from this uncomfortable situation, and beat
a hasty retreat, in his flight taking with
him his opponents hat. Scarborough pur-
sued the flying foe, and coming up with
him, seized him behind and rescued his hat
The combatants next repaired to Elllton
and sued each other for assault and battery.
The hand and arm of Scarborough are
severely injured. DR.. Tuft dressed the
wounds, and charged each party couple
of dollars.
Scarborough finished fixing the "line
fence
