known as the Ragged. Edge Saloon. be
tween jim Russell and John Mcdonald.
During the melee Russell made a slash
with clasp knife at Mcdonald and cut
him along the right hip several inches,
The wound was not serious.
As no complaint was made these par
ties are still at large, ready and anxious
to create further disturbances if the least
chance Is thrown in their way. Many
citizens think it the duty Of the Town
Council to provide reasonable sum for
the payment OF the Marshal or
some other authorized person to guard
the peace Marshal McConnaughy has
lntlmated that US he received no pay for
attending to such duty he has neither
the inclination nor intention of further
50 doing. This may account for the un-
usual number of disturbances of the
peace that now take place within the
corporate limits. The Culprits feel an
immunity from justice is their portion,
hence their boldneSs and fearless disrc-
gard of law and order. The community
will some day be aroused to IL sense Of
the necessity of protection, by the pcrpe-
trat!on of acts OF violence that will be n
dangerous rs uncomfortable.

resembling the fall of some heavy
article was heard, and our in-
formant felt as though heavy weight
was upon him. Determined to ascertain
the cause, he arose from his bed and with
lighted lamp in his hand, visited

appeared to be in order, and he re-

bidding was lively, and the property

scqucntly the sale was declared OFT and
the property was offered as whole.
Several parties bid, and it was run up
to $4,000. This sum was considered too
low. and the sale was continued until this
morning. Mr.. Walter Brooks, who rep

The astronomers attribute our con-
tinued wet weather TO the influence Of
Jupiter. Jupiter Pluvius is very rauch
to be blamed but we will wait until it is
ascer:ained beyond doubt that the
change that is said to be taking place in
the big planet causes our constant rains,
before we find fault with Jupiter.
An exchange says that even if Jupiter
is passing through the same stupcndou>
changes which this planet passed through
before man appeared on it, the rainbow
still appears on the sky after each storm
as the sign of assurance that the course
of the seasons and of the planets is to 90
on as usual, despite these temporary dis
turbances OF the elements.

Go FIGHT DUEL.-The tcmpeStuOus
fight now beng engaged in by the city
editors ofthe Wheeling Standard and h.
tsiiigcmcer is neither interesting nor edi-
tying, and TO end what may prove 1t pro.
tracted battle, and which will only Ell in
bitter feelings, as friend Of each gem
tleman, We desire To suggest that they
take the next train tor the wilds
Of West Virginia and order shot guns
Tor two. The readers then would
be released from the obnoxious vi
tuperatlon they throw at each other. We
should infer from the spirit and warmth
they are at present carrying on the war
fare, neither would be afraid to put bull
let through his antagonist. We would
suggest US seconds, Col. PlattcnburG, Of
the Hancock Courier, and Captain Mat
lock, of the Herald If they !nil in kill
ing each other with shot, the next best
thing would be to turn them loose to the
mercy of the bears of Grant county.
Now il they really mean business,
they will not ignore this
digestion, given out Of the best of feel
ing and candor. But if their bclllgcr-
cncy is only TO show their readers how
many wicked words they have in their
vocabulary, in order that none will ever
attempt to asSnil them, of course the
duel may be considered "otl,' However,
We consider this happy thought OF
ours. If it proves beneficial, it can be
adopted by all the belIigcrent pencil
ticu1s i'm the country. and in time We
might get rId of the >uperfluouS hohc-
