pleasant leap year party, had a hand 10
this affair as also Others who are equal

(having only heard of the party the

er learned that the parties we spoke of
last week as digging for Silver and

FIGHT AT A SCHOOL HoUsE.--Quite
an excitement WAS created at Grier's
School House, two miles west of this
place, yesterday morning, by fiGht
between the teacher, George W.. Will
son, and a young man named Thomas
Oliver. A feud has existed for some
time in that district, and the leading
men had assembled that morning to
adjust the differences existing between
Wilson and the scholars in regard to
sweeping the SchoOl-house. During
this meeting Oliver appeared upon the
scene, and there being an "Old grudge"
between him and Wilson, they ex-
perienced but little difficulty in start
ing fight. Oliver was badly beaten
about the face, and Wilson also receiv-
ed considerable punishment. The dis
trict is greatly demoralized, and there
is danger of the School being broken
ur.

The tunnel on the Marietta railroad
at Newcomerstown was finally com.
pleted last Friday. Communication
will now be established between

rs soon as three miles of track are laid.
The completion of this tunnel is quite
an event in the history of the road.
Work was commenced on 1t last snm-
mer and since that time has been push
ed forward night and day, from fifty
to seventy workmen being constantly
The excavation was made
through solid sandstone and will need
no arching. ...-s 49, ss.
