LEWIS COUNTY HEEMS.


John 4. Cooper, son OF Col. A. G..
Coopar, spent Christmas week on Big
swan. visiting lis friends. John is a
gallant beau, aud does not deserve his
prospective fate, (bachelor's.)
John Flanagan, young Nimrod, went
in pursuit of game last week, and found
his "deaY'" at William Cregg's On Big
Buffalo. Miss Gregg is now Mrs. John
Flanagan. Doubtless she feels proud OF
her huntsman.
For several months. matrimony has
been very progressive in Lewis. Its le-
is prospectively good. Let war be de-
ferred a few years longer, and Lewis
will be able to marshal legions.

For two weeks, fancy Balls, and run
ming fights have been all the $50" at
Newhurg. Ali business has been sus>
pended to encourage the sports. Knives,
guns, axes, and hickory sticks have
been freely used in all the skirmishes.
AS yet, no serious damage has been
done. The Balls have been conducted
on the "60nne ct belle dSsez" style, and
have given full satisfaction, except, i'll a
few instances. Some OF the young gents
are contending, that the varied amuse-
merits have been a young mans fight
and married mans dance; consequent
ly, some little dissatisfaction exists, but
all agree that, it is not sufficient to be
referred to the arbitrament OF muscu'
lar strength.

doubtless conduct it in an acceptable
manner. Mr.. McLemore, together
with Mr.. Blythe, of our county, in
