A NEW FISHING CLUB.-At an earl!
hour evening before last, party oI
gentlemen of this city assembled nj the
st. James Hotel for the purpose OF start

stormy discussion on various matters, an
organization was effected, and the cluo

Der elected to secure the favor OF the
Radical party was placed upon per-
manent basis. 1t was agreed that Their
first effort should be made Yesterday morn
ing. and a committee of one was appoint
ed to secure cockroachcs for bait. After
securing the hotel in fruitlcas efforts to
ATTAIN supply, the committee was
forced to bride the colorcd member To
furnish the amount of these insects that
was needed. This being accomplished
four o'clock yesterday morning was the
time fixed for the expedition. Punctu-
allv on time, the club started for the
river, each member with his pockets full
of cockroachcs. Arrived at the stream
a little delay was occasion"d by one or
two of the party being hooked by the
others in frantic efforts to throw the lines
out far enough. However, this was soon
fixed, and in patience the party
awaited the first bite. But twas no
90. Though many fish were seen, yet
none would bite, not even could u supply
be purchased; so, after toiling for about
three hours and taking nothing. they
were all forced to return tothe Hotel sad,
downcast and empty handed. They
threw away all the reaches remaining IN
their possession, and we hav'nt heard
whether they will ever make another eff
fort.
Later.-Wc learn, that after the return
of the club, the colorcd member was
arrested on charge Of larceny, but being
defended by one Of the white men, IA
rising young lawyer of this city, on con-
dition that he furnish, as Il fee, II bucket
of grasshoppers for the next excursion,
his innocence was established, and he
was discharged.

WANTS DAMAGEs.-On Tuesday night

WANTS DAMAGEs.-On Tuesday night
a well known citizen of this city tarried
around the wine cup, or beer mug, most
probably too long, and his deep and con-
slant potstions had so completely befud-
died him that it was impossible to make
the rifle homeward without some assist
ance. That distinguished brunette, Jeff
Davis, seeing the unfortunate condition
of the aforesaid mentioned citizen, vol
unteered as his guide and navi-
gator, and safely anchored ms
charge to his place of abode. The next
morning the ''befuddled" gentleman dis
covered that his watch was missing, and
JEFF was suspected of being the lndlvid-
ual that could tell where it was. why
the honesty and probity of jeff could
have be douted, we don't understand, out
anyhow complaint was made before
SQUIRE Caldwell. and Davis was arrested
on a charge of stealing the watch. As
the principal witness in the case was
laid up for repairs, Davis was
committed to Jail for future hearing OF
the charge. About five minutes after ne
had been Gagged, a citizen of well known
responsibility having heard of the affair
went to Squire Caldwell and told him he
had the watch which he had taken from
the owner to prevent it from beng
stolen or lost. This explanation beng
satisfactory, Davis was Immediately re-
leased from confinement.
Now, Davis got on his ear. lie dld not
propose to be arrested and thus ruthless
" debarred from liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, without some redress,
damages, gentlemen, heavy damages
as Buzfuz would say, is what ne wanted
to appease his indignation, and restore
his JLackened reputation. He was very
modest and only wanted $4,000, and all
Yesterday afternoon he was seeking some
Dodson and Fogg to take his case, but IN
vain.

WARRINGTON COUNTY ITEMS.
rom the Review and Examiner

From the Review and Examiner
The hail storm that visited portion
of our county on Tuesday, the Sth inst,
WAS particularly severe IN n portion OF
Pigeon creek valley.
SEVERAL of the farmers of Washington
township, Greene county, have not yet
seld their wool. They have been offered
4sc, but hold out for SOC.
WE are glad to notice quite number
Of improvements in the way Of new build
ingS going up in and about town. The
new buildings during the prcsnnt fall
will number about thirty all built with
much taste.
A FEW days ago our sporting friend
J. "Shan' Margerum, while shooting
ION the wing. planted three or four
shot in DR.. Davis right leg near the
knee They were hunting together and
DR.. ID. went in the wrong direction and
got in range of Shan's shot gun. The
wound is not severe, but should teach our
! sportsmen to be careful about scattering
| their shot "around loose.
The recent pleasant meetings Of the
| Sjth and l40th regiments in Washing
ton, and Of the Ringgold Battalion at
Bcallsville, have suggested the idea of
holding general reunion of all honor
ably discharged soldiers of the county
some time next summer. The project
seems to meet with favor on all sides, and
! we trust those who have the matter IN
charge may be successful in their effort
to bring together all soldiers Of the
! county.
The friends of tho proposed Narrow
Guagc Railroad from Waynesburg to
this place will hold meeting ut Prosper
ity on Friday, September 18th. Maj. j.
H. Ewing and Rev. George p. Hays, ID,
d., will address the meeting. All inter
ested in the enterprise are urged TO at
! tend. Subscriptions along the line Of
! the road are Of the most encouraging
character, and the speedy construction Of
the road is almost certain, yet it can only
! be made sure BY those who are TO be
benefited by it putting their shoulders
to the wheel.
! A STRANGE HOLE-Therc is Goa
: mine on the farm of Mr.. Rebecca Lew.
! Is. in Morris township, Washington coun'
/ ", in connection with which there are
/ several interesting items. In the first
/ place no one knows when it was opene /
/ The oldest inhabitants say that it Wa
there a. long as they can remember, and
that their fathers knew nothing about
it, history. A quantity Of dirt had fall.

/ ing coal. The rock above the
/ opening was at first braced up
by two wooden posts. One Of these,
/ however, has become petrifed, and to the
pick gives the hardest ring Of solid stone
while the other, situated in just the same
+ way. remains wood. This il in itself a
/ curious fact. An ore which il 80 hard Il.

struck Is found within the mine in large
quantities. II produces when smelted d
/ large Weld Of whitish metal, Of kind
We are not prepared to name. A piece
Of it has been sent away 10 be assayed
! from which no return has yet been re.
ceiyed. Taken altogether, its age. the
petrefsction, minerals, &c, make this old
mine point well worth visiting.
