\ FIGHT.-The sober, piouS people
who worship at new Providence church,
in Rockbridge were, on last Sunday
week, favored with the following scene,
which we find recorded in the LeXiug-
ton Gazette:
Taylor Swisher md-Craig, as we
oct it had been paying their deyoirs to Il
young lady of the neighborhood, and in
their competition for the hand and IA
vor of the fair one, had allowed their
minds to be wrought up to a very high
pitch ofjealouSy OF each other. Swish
er it seems, had accompanied the lady
to church on Sunday, and after the ser
vices were concluded assisted her to
mount her horse, Whilst he was get
ting his horse, Craig watching his OPP
portmity, made swoop at the game,
and rode off with the young lady leav-
ing SwiSher in the lurch. Undaunted
by the situation and enraged at his ii
walls success, he mounted and charged
down upon the retreating couple.
Gaining the side OF the lady opposite
Craig he prepared to decide the matter
Vi ct arms. Using their riding whips
upon each other over the neck of the
ladys horse, Swisher drew a knife and
cut Craig making an ugly and serious
wound the whole length of his face per-
pendicularly The wounded man bled
protusely, and the excitement over it
was for while intense among the large
congregation assembled, it being com
munion occasion.

New YORK, December 14.-The joint
committee OF the ship-owners' association
on the subjsct of harbor abuses, report
that the amount of blsckmsil levied on
shipping Is not less than one hundred
thousand dollars annually by single hsr-
bormaster. The total tax on commerce Of
port for mere boarding and mooriug of
vessels, by aid of the harbormasters, is es-
timsted at a million q year. Not one
tenth of this smount is legal. The su-
preIne court of the United States has, in
two instances, decided that all tonnage
tax on shipping by State authority Is un-
constitutional, Notwithstanding these
fees are regularly collected through the
customhouse, solely bscause a commits
sion is allowed for the collection. The
committee suggest the total abolition of
the system of the hsr bormssters, as 1t is
illegal and unnecessary, and recommend
that the entire control Of the docks and
movements of vessels be placed under the
direction of deck commissioner, and re-
msin free from expense to shipping, ex-
cspt prescribed tonnage, and that the CO.
operation of the committee of seventy
has been asked in favor of this reform.
