fee. Present, Acting Mayor Grimes, Drs. Estep,
and Wor1ey.
Mr.. Herbst, on behalf of number of citizens
present. requested stay OF enforcement IN the

RoADs.EOur highways ought to be
improved. THERE'S surely no need of so
much intolerably bad road. We know Of
some level pieces of road, for example, be-
tween Canton and Louisville, which ought
TO be, the best and they are generally the
worst, solely and entirely beasnse Of the
negligence Of those IN charge to haul
gravel and depositit where needed. These
remarks do not apply to the road district
Immediately this side of Louisville. A
low place, where the road, in the spring
used to be almost impossible. is now the
best of piece of road between the two
towns. A gravel hill, convenient to it
furnished the gravel. and the road super
vIsor had the good sense to use the ma
terial in sufficient quantity to make. a
capital piece Of road. Let other super
visors do likewise, and let them level
down the hills as fast as possible.

DIPTHERIA-In the summer of 1861,
this disease prevailed through the Che
mango Valley in the State of New York.
as a malignant and fatal epidemic; some
of many families, and in some instances
entire families, were swept away by this
fell destroyer. During this time, Dr.
1rask's Magnetic Ointment came into use
as q remedy, and very soon was recogniz-
ed as an important help in the treatment;
indeed, in some neighborhoods it was
relied upon as the principal remedy.
Its application for all affections of the
throat and lungs Is attended with marked
benefit. 1t seems to act as an alternative
upon the Mucous Goats of the throat and
air passages. forcing out the yiscid and ir-
ritating mucous and restoring themucous
surfaces to healthy action.

A most disgraceful fight took place on.
Sunday night, the 18th inst, at a singing
party at the Sherman chuch, in Bethle-
hem township, between two young men,
hitherto considered respectable. r A mis-
understanding had existed between
brother of one, the cause of which was of
a trihing character, and the quarrel was
transferred to the party named. After
several angry disputes had been INDUCED
in on previous occasions, in which cpl
thets had been freely INDUCED in and the
lie given, the quiet of Sunday evening,
the house of worship, and the presence of
the ladies was chosen as the most appre-
pirate place to settle malicious grudge
In vain the company present endeavored
to persuade the gentlemen to a better
course. After engaging in a regular set.
rough and tumble, knives were freely
used, in true border rufhan style, as the
numerous stabs and cuts upon their arms
and hands clearly show, until separated
by the company present. The afray took
place nearsthe church after the singing;
neither of the parties are seriously hurt.
Both these young men have hitherto
maintained & good character, both are
teachers Of the public schools, have moved
in good society, and should be patterns
and examples of peace, good order and
propriety to those around them, of which
they have come very far short. They
have no excuse to offer an imaginary OF

1 timation of the public, A gross and
brutal outrage has been committed upon
! the peace of society. And which ever

/ equally guilty, a few weeks 'jsi
