A Boys BattIe-The COntests OF Rival
Towns.

For week or two past the boys OF tue
rival villages OF Bellaire, on the Ohio side
of the river, and Benwood, on the West Vir-
ginia side have been engaged in fighting
Whenever a Bellaire boy was found On this
side Of the river he was numerically beaten
and when n Benwood boy was discovered
in Bellaire the ilngging was repaid with in
lerest. Last Saturday week the boys OF the
two places met on the ice and engaged in
regular pitched bhile, using stones and even
pistols. Some OF the boys are now in the
Marshall county Jail awaiting trial iOI riot,
On Saturday last vast number OF boys,
about 50 on zach side, met ON tie ice, by
appointment it would seem, and engaged in
most terrific fight. Every conceyab e
missile was used, and several OF the cOmba-
ianis received cuts 10 the head and face.
The battle ragged with fury for about two
hours. One boy, lad about Thirteen years
old, named Furson, whose parents live in
Bellaire, was struck behind the ear. He
fell On tie ice stunned. In sholt time he
revived sufficiently 10 enable him 10 go
home lie suffered terribly through the
night and yesterday morning he died
from the effects of his injuries. Vow that
one has been murdered, aud several others
have been badly injured, is it MT time Tor

Very old Iron.

The oldest pieces of wrought-iron now
known are probably the sickle blade found by
Bezoni under the base of sphynx in Karnak,
the blade found by Colonel Vyse embedded in
the masonry of the great pyramid, and the
portion of cross-cut saw exhumed at MINI
rood by MIR. Layard, all Of which are now in
the British museum. A wrought bar OF Da'
mascus steel was presented by King Poruss 10
Alexander the Great, and the razor steel o,
China for many centuries has surpassed al
European steel in temper and durability Of
edge The llindoos appear TO have made
wrought-ron directly from the ore, without
passing it through the stage Of wrought-ron

dwell upon tie passage wherein tho Bishop
declares that "ihe spectacle OF a strong man
behind bar, dealing cut crime, misery and
death, instead Of canning an honest living 10
some manly way, was the most pitiable
sight imaginable" He said that the church
would be opened that evening for the pur-
nose OF administering the total abstinence
pledge to all who might wish, and that he
mad invited the President Of the Catholic
Stale Temperance Union 10 deliver an ad'
dress About two thousand people were
hacked in the Old Church at seven o'clock.
/ The pastor delivered an impressive address,
and introduced Mr.. j. W. O'Bren, Of the
/ State Union, who spoke Tor an hour. Father
] McNuty then called upon the people to join
the army Of teelOlalers, and told those sc
4 disposed to stand up. In AN instant fully
| one thousand people were on their feet
They repeated the pledge aloud, aud received
