The usually calm serenity of our hap
by community met with a slight inter-
ruption few days since in little at
fray which took place between Mr. Dan
iel Chafey and Mr.. Stephen c. Clark
the result of some little misunderstood
inc about an old school-tax bill, which
Mr.. Clark had turned over to Mr.. Cha
fey and taken a receipt therefor. 1t ap-
pears that the linguistic capacity of the
said Chafey was inadequate for the &C.
casion, and he resolved then and there
to try the pugilistic suasion; and ac-
cordingly went energetically for Clark's
physiognomic regions, while his faithful
ally of the canine persuasion, labored in
dustriously at his heels, Chafey, anon,
cheering him son to victory" Mr. Clark
endured this treatment with as much
grace and meekness as could be expected
under the circumstances. Like a man,
he did not run, and again, like a man,
he did not fight, but simply Tended the
blows of his neighbor as well as he could.
Mr. Clark is an honest, upright man,
and is member of the Baptist church,
in good standing; and we are glad he
allowed his better nature to predomin-
ate and thus saved his name and credit.
