UPHEAvINGs OF THE RING-FIaHT BETWEEN
TWO DEMOCRATIC EDIToRs-A DEAD LOCK IN A
DEMOCRATIC PRINTING OFrIoE.-The non-ap-
pearance of the Northumberland County Demo
cyat last week caused considerable peculation
until the real cause was made known. 1t ap-
pears that tho editors of that sheet never had
much love or regard for each other, and conse-
ouently when certain subjects were discussed
and particularly as to the Ring party, during the
past year, there was anything but harmony or
good feelings between the parties. From what
we can learn the senior editor, who is disposed
to treat others in manner becoming a
gentleman, has repeatedly been annoyed
and insulted by the unjust, to say nothing of the
ungentcmanly conduct Of his partner who is a
firm disciple of the Ring, until patience became
exhausted and ceased to be a virtue. Week be-
fore last the senior editor, Mr.. Eichholtz, being
out of town, the junior, Mr.. Day, saw proper to
indulge his penchant and talent for SANDER
and yituperation, by the publication of a COM
munication assailing j. j. Rcmensnyder, res
pcctable gentleman, and Democratic candidate
for Associate Judge, which the senior, on his re-
turn, did not approve. In last weeks issue, the
senior, as matter of justice, wrote an apology
to be inserted in the Democrat refuting the charge
in the communication referred to. On Friday
morning when the paper was about being put to
press, Mr.. Day objected to its going into the
paper and as Mr.. Eichholtz was in the act of
placing the article in type in the form, Mr.. Day
knocked it out of his hands, scattering the type
on the floor. Mr.. Eichholtz then said that the
paper could not be issued unless the article was
;,,ea IT,, n,x, laol, tl,ot L.
allow it to go in. Thus matters came to a dead
lock and all work in the office ceased. The
friends of both parties came forward but no re-
conciatlon could be affected. On Monday
morning Mr.. Eichholtz made another attempt to
issue the paper, when Day came up again and
knocked from his hands the article referred to,
scattering the type on the floor. regular fisti-
cuff then ensued, which resulted in Mr.. Day
coming out second best, and having his eyes
placed in mourning. AS soon as the battle was
over Mr.. Day made bee line for the Court
but soon came back but made no further de-
monstrations of BATTLE Mr.. Eichhotz had him
brought before Esquire Brice on a warrant charg-
ing him with assault and battery. Mr.. Day was
bound over until next Monday when n hearing
will take place before Esquire Bricc, and the
case tried under the late act of Assembly by en-
panclling jury.
This collision came rather sooner than was
anticipated, and will no doubt result in dissolu-
tion of partnership, which will, if Mr.. Day IS
elected from that Office leave the Ring without
an organ in the county. Mr.. Eichholtz, it is
well known, is not disposed to encourage or
countcnancc any of the proceedings of the Ring
about the Court House.

IT is said that money is the root of all evil,
and from observation, We judge that money is
the cause of the terrible upheaving of tho Ring
just now Since the county managers require of
the tax payers $4,000 to defray expenses, most
of which is still in tho hands of collectors, there
has been dissatisfaction and contention in the
Ring, which will sooner or later cause it to tum-
Bile over entirely. few years ago all was har-
mony in that party, where now we sec nothing
but contention and strife. Is money at the root
of it or not Z

THE MINIATURE REBELLION - THE REBELS
AGAIN ON THE WAR PATH.-The appearance of
the Democrat on Wednesday last, was complete
surprise on the Ring. On Friday of last week,
the regular publication day, Mr.. Eichholtz, the
senior editor, took away piece of the machinery
of the power press to prevent its use in issuing
the paper clandostincly, and without his consent.
Next day, Day, the junior, took off u small cog
wheel for similar purpose on his part. Since
the fight on Monday last, when Day was thrash
cd by his partner and elected from the office,
there was a dead lock in the establishment.
Eichholtz, who maintains armed possession of
the premises, on Wednesday last succeeded by
the aid of one of our machnists to fit another
cogwheel in the press, in the place Of the one
taken by Day, and the paper was unexpectedly
issued, containing the apologize card which was
the immediate cause of the fight.

THAT s94, ,000.--It has been suggested, since
there is probability of dissolution of partner
ship in the Ring organ establishment, that the
umplres who will necessarily have to be appoint
ed to settle the difficulties, be also directed to
Investigate that s94, 900 arrangement, and wheth-
er the Ring has refused to come down. There is
no doubt but what the Democrat could shed much
light as to how the county affairs are managed,
and why 1t is that such high taxes are levied an
nually, when an amount sufficient to defray
county expenses is allowed to remain in the col
cctors hands, and the interest on s27 200 indebt-
edncss are paid.

This is to certify that have this day received
draft for $4,000, from the Travellers Insurance
Co., of Hartford, Conn, being the full amount
of a life insurance policy which my husband, the
late DR.. Edward r. Dodge, had taken in that
Company. He had other insurance, but to the
Travellers belongs the credit of paying the most
promptly, consequently in this Company would
advise my friends to insure.

PROMPT PAYMENT.-The following isa certificate
of the payment of life Insurance policy to &
citizen who is well known in this place. 1t is
a pleasure to recommend q company like the
Travellers, when they sustain reputation second
to none, for prompt payment. DR., E. L. Dodge,
formerly of this place, whose death was noticed
Il few weeks ago, was insured for 50, 900 in 1866,
and had made four payments amounting to
1928 81. The amount of insurance was paid
over to the widow last week by Mr.. E. II, Kin
slow, special agent. We would advise all who
have no insurance to give this practical illustra-
ton of life insurance some attention at once.
Mr.. Shipman, of this place, is the local agent
for the Travellers Insurance Company, where
all necessary information can be ascertained how
| to proceed to become insured. The following
card published, shows how prompt the Travellers
Insurance Company, of Hartford, is in its pay

He says it has become dangerous for his

off, but he would not go, and made some
insulting remarks. The gentleman of the
house returned soon after his departure

said the boy is reminded of a No. 8 boot
every time he tries to sit down. Birds are

MARION CoUNTY.-AZel Walters was
badly injured by runaway team throw
ing him against the hayrack. B. Gun.
ningham's stable was burned by children
playing with fire. While burning, Mrs.
G. rescued horse and harness from the
flames. Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. Tame
hill were thrown backward from a wagon
and fatally injured. Per Democrat. The
V0tep says there is man in Pella, Mr..
Bowman, eighty-two years old, who main
tains himself and bis aged wife in comfort
by his regular work at his trade of tailoring.
And this he does, not from necessity at all,
but from choice, rather than to be depend
ent on anybody. We venture to say that
not many similar examples can be found
in the country. Mr.. VIM. King. four
miles from Bennington, had three cows
killed aud one severely injured by lightning
during storm few nights ago.. Mrs.
Gov. Stone fell down stairs and was badly
bruised. -. Dir. Andrew Cart, living miles
west of town, remarked to us one day last
week that he thought that much of the
damage to the wheat in his section had
been caused by the Hessian fly. He first
came to this conclusion by examining
some of his own injured wheat when he
found the fly in the second joint of the
stalk.
