Poetry.
The Great Arkansas Fight.

The Great Arkansas Fight.
They clinched like two rampagions bears,
And each fell on his sit
They swore a stream of six-inch oaths,
And tit, and fit, and fit.
The stranger snapped at Sammy's nose,
And shortened it a bit,
And then they both swore awful oaths,
And ht, and fit, and fit.
The mud it flew, the sky grew dark,
And all the lightenings lit;
But still them critters rolled about,
And tit, and fit, and fit.
FirstiSam on top, then tother chap
When one would make a hit,
The other'd smell the grass, and SO,
They fit, and fit, and fit.
The night came on, the stars shone out,
As bright as wmmin' s wit
And still them fellers swore and gouged,
And fit, and fit, and fit.
The neighbors heard the roar they made,
And thought an earthquake lit
Yet all the while twas him and Sam.
As they fit, and fit, and fit.
For miles around the noise was heard,
Folks couldn't sleep bit,
Because them two rantankerous chaps
Still fit, and fit, and fit.
The result was, that when the poet and hi
old man went out the next morning,
- ''We found, to our surprise,
Two quarts of buttons, two big knives,
Some whiskers, and four ey es."

TO THE PUBLIC 1t affords me much pleasure
to state that in July, 1871, Front Street Theatre
was painted inside and out with Bradley's Pat
emit Enamel paint, for which G P. knight, No.
90 West Lombard street, is agent and to testify
to its superiority over any and all other paints
for similar uses. In no private dwelling can
paint possibly be subjected to the very severe
test it undergoes at this establishment, where,
during our daily cleaning, soap and soda are
constantly applied to it, and yet it appears as
sound and fresh as when first put on. Of the
numerous advantages it possesses over other
paints | will mention its being mixed and ready
for use in quantities to suit purchasers it's quick
ly drying properties, which saves much time in
the execution of work where paint is needed,
and its very perceptible renacity, which imparts
beauty and durability to the objects on which it
is used. AS such | most earnestly reco mmend
it to the merchants and tradesnan Of our city,
believing that it will give them greater satisfac-
ton than they can possibly anticipate.

Boston Wool Market.

There has been more activity in the
Wool market during the past week than
for any similar period for several weeks,
and the sales are beyond the expecta-
tions of dealers. The activity is, how
ever, largely the result of decline in
prices, inducing manufacturers to pur-
chase quite freely. The largest proper
tion of the sales of Fleece Wool since
our last have been at very low figures,
say about 47c for extra and double extra
Ohio and Pennsylvania, with OCCASION
ally a little lower price for prompt cash.
The present range of prices is not ac-
cepted by all the dealers, and many lots
are held out of the market in anticipa-
tion of better figures in the future.
A considerable proportion of the mills
have stopped or shortened their produc-
ton, and the legitimate demand for
Wool is likely to be somewhat irregular
for the present. There have been offers
within the past week, on large amounts
of Wool, at about 45c for extra and
double extra Fleeces, and though few
have been accepted most have been de-
clined. There appears to be a better
feeling within the last few days, and the
market is frmer. The present range of
quotations is from 40c to SOC for extra
and double extra Ohio and Pennsylvan-
ia, and Ale to 43c for Michigan and Wis
consin.
Receipts for the week ha We been 2, ,456
bales domestic, and 773 bales foreign.
Sales for the week foot up 100000 lbs
domestic and 100000 lbs foreign. Includ-
ed in the former are the following sales
of Fleece; 100000 lbs on private terms;
5000 lbs Ohio extra at Acc; 1000 lbs do
do at sic; $4,000 lbs do double extra on
private terms; $4,000 lbs do and Penn
sylvania double extra at soc; 5000 lbs
Pennsylvania double extra and above at
Wisconsin at 44c; 10000 lbs Ohio and
Michigan on private terms; 10000 lbs
Michigan at 434c; $4,000 lbs New York
State at 44c; 5000 lbs Black at 30c; s.
600 do at 42c

Burglary in New Lexington.

Mr.. J. V. Wards residence here, was
entered ON Monday night and burglar
lied of silver watch. The movements
of the thief were first discovered by
Mrs. Ward who was aroused by the
noise and who called to her husband just
in time to save further dapredations.
Mrs. w. must have awakened soon
after the thief entered the house, as a
pocket-book in Mr.. W's pants pocket,
hanging on the bed post, and containing
SI10 was not molested The house was
entered from a side window, and the exit
was made through the same window at
the instant of the discovery.
On the same night Samuel OILERS
house was robbed of pocket book con-
tainging $50, vest and gold watch.
Mr.. D says they could not have enter
ed his house unless by turning the key
which WITS inserted in the lock from
the inside
This is a small trick for a well ver-
sed burglar Mr.. OILERS pocket book,
relieved of its contents, was picked up
in Sheriff Karr's door yard next morn
ing The burglars also eutered other
places but didn't succeed in getting any
thing.
A couple of suspicious charaters got
off the east bound train, here, on the
evening of the robbery and we are in
formed that the Conductor Of the train
informed some of our people of the fact,
but the parties in possession of the
knowledge, for some reason didn't ap-
prise the proper officers. Further
James Retallic, who was staying at D.
Fealty's, was robbed of same 81 in mon

one evening, and as she was about leav-
ing, terrible explosion took place, blow
ing pots, kettles, stove-lids, &C., about
the room promiscuously, and creating a
great sensation in the neighborhood, but
luckily, doing no further damage.
1t was afterward ascertained that the
e plosion was caused by powder which
haG been used in mining the coal, which
becoming damp was not ignited when
the blast was set off. This powder, by
some means got into Mr.. SIS coal pile,
and thence into the stove, with the result
above stated.
Mr.. s. states that the stove is a re-
markably heavy and strong one. If it
had been one of the light stoves, now in
common use, the consequence might
have been very serious.
The name of this stove is the "Sensa-
tion," said to oe the best in use, and sold
exclusively by G. H. Stafford, Somerset,
