THE AFFRAY AT MIDDLEBRooK.-Ab big fight |

THE AFFRAY AT MIDDLEBRooK.-Ab big fight
took place in Middlebrook last Friday night, be-
tween Lee Squires and w. A. Knighton about
which we gather the following from parties pres
ent: The Rev. Mr.. Hicks was to deliver Tenn
perance lecture in the Methodist church, to
which young Knighton and his sisterwere going,
when Knighton left her on the street to go back
for his coat Upon joining her he found she was
crying and she told him Lee Squires, who keeps
a tavern and bar-room, had grossly insulted her,
telling her 'ncbody, with any principle would
20 to hear that - pup" Knighton left her at
the Church, and returning. demanded an ex-
PLANTATION of Squires, who repeated what he had
said to Miss Knighton and opened the ball by
striking Knighton a heavy blow on the shoulder.
The fight lasted some time and Knighton still
bears on his person the marks and bruises made
by Squires. After they were separated Squires
said some one else had struck him with stick
which Knighton denied and at it they went with
stones again. Knighton warded off a blow from
a stone in Squires' left hand and it only bruised
his head, and, about this time, Squires received
blow on the head from stone that is consid-
cred very serious, though he up Friday
night. We did not learn who hit him the last
lick There is great feeling and excitement in

THE CoGBILL House AT CovINGToN.-To the
weary and hungry traveller, the most welcome
music is that which is caused by what Byron
called ''the tocsin of the soul-the dinner-belP'
and the most delightful perfume, more CRATE
full than the ottar of roses, is the fragrance of
savory vands. These delights be enjoyed
to their greatest perfection at the Cogbill House
at the depot at Covington, on the Chesa. & Ohio
Railroad The traveller who would not be sat-
isfed, not to say delighted, with the delicious
fare served for his accommodation at that House,
would complain if served with the nectar of the
gods. The most fastidious taste could not fail
to be delighted with the delicious corn-mufins,
for which that House is famous, and with the
exquisite French Rolls which are as light as Ell
der-down and as white as the foam-crest of
sea-wave, to say nothing of fresh, sweet butter,
strong tea and coffee of good quality, variety
of tender wel-served meats, and other articles
of diet too tedious to mention.
To such as may think that we are indulging
in hyperbole, we would ask to test the matter
by taking meal at that House-''the proof of
the pudding is in the eating"

There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment

and no lameness which it will not cure. This is
strong language, but it is true Where the parts

It's no humbug The recipe is published around
each bottle. 1t is selling article ever before

tends TO do. Those who now suffer from rheu-
matism, pain swelling, deserve to suffer if
they will not use Centaur Liniment More than
