From NLiIIedgeYiIIe.

We learn from a correspondent at Alillcdgc-
vile, that a very amusing affair occurred At
that place on last Sunday morning, viz: A
young gentleman had seriously offended a
married lady Of his acquaintance, and refused
to retract some remark he had made touching
her character, whereupon she attacked him vic
lently with stones, proving herself M adept in
stone-slinging The gentleman collected his
wits, after being vigorously pelted few min
utes, and wisely concluding that discretion
the better part of yalor," took to his heels, ana
in the language of our informant "fewed like
quater-horse" No serious damages done
and no fears are entertained that hostilities

Court Day.

Last Monday was court day, and large
crowd Of our citizens were assembled together.
There seemed to be good feeling in respect to
trade. About 300 head of cattle on the mar
ket. All sold for good prices. No hogs, sheep,
mules or horses on sale. Very little money in
circulation, and the usual number of promises
made; all 10 be FULFILLED after harvest We
talked to many farmers from all sections of
the county, and received encouraging reports
in rcgard to crop prospects. In some places
the thunder storm on Friday last has done
some damage to the wheat, rye and oats, lay
ing it Hat and in many places twisting and
tangling il badly, but where il was not twisted,
we are glad to learn that il has risen again, and
looks as promising as ever. The greatest dam
age done by the storm, was to the timber and
fences. In many places sweeping the fences,
and in several places on Dix river and Hang
ing Fork blowing down as many as 80 trees in
woodlands of five and six acres. Mr.. IAN
Trbble reported a loss by lightning, Of a fine
cow Mr. ID. Lammes saw mill, near Huston
vile, was blown down, and in two instances in
that vicinity, persons who were building had
their frames blown down aud badly damaged.
Al report il the most terrible storm We have
had for many years.

Lincoln COunty---IEcr Resources
Her Debts and Her Taxes.

The court Of levy for the county Of Lincoln
assembled on Monday the 10Th inst. for the
purpose Of taking into consideration the fnan-
cial condition Of the county. Her liabilities
were considered upon the basis Of the record
evidence Of the indebtedness Of the county,
which accrued al the October court OF claims
for the year 1871; the interest upon the bond
Of the county issued pursuant to an act Of
the legislature to provide means for the con-
struction Of Rrc proof vaults for the clerks
Offices and to remodel the court house; and
the subscription Of the county TO the capital
stock Of the Stanford and Halls Gap Ium-
pike Road Company at the rate Of 500 per
mile--the Directors Of said company having
recently passed an order authorizing mile
and quarter extension Of the road. Her IT,
sources 10 meet this indebtedness arise from
the ordinary - capitation tax, and a small OF
uuio-eu tax upon the property Of the county.
/ 1t is in reference to this latter tax that vi,
desire to call especial attention, and 10 those
who have been known az court house croakOr-,
or persons who feared that the court hOus' Dec
would eat up the prohts Of their labor we
