A Stabbing Affray.-A case of
serious stabbing occurred Christmas
day, the particulars of which we re-
eeived last week, but too late for in
s9rtion. On Christmas morning an
Indian named Jeff Davis, said to be a
quiet fellow, and for an Indian quite
gentlemanly, in company with two
men named Mclaughlin and Andrews
came into town from Gerard & Drake s
mill where they had been employed.
and proceeded to imbibe fire water in
unlimited quantities. Towards night
the three men started for the mill, and
we're observed to caoss the Tomah rail
road when a scuffle ensued between
Mclaughlin & Davis. Mr.. Andrews
it seems had gone on, leaving his COM
panions who were too drunk to 90
home peaceably. Late in the evening
or in the early morning, Mr.. Craney in
returning home, found the Indian Sc
verely stabbed in the abdomen, having
. wound five inches in length. Mr..
Craney left the Indian at Kings where
he was cared for by DIR. Whitney.
The wounded man could give no III
telligence relative to the manner, or by
whom he received his injury. 1t is
thought that he will die.

Tie w
The county and P. w. d Ky. railroad
authorities had their conference at

to come to an agreement on the PROPOSE
ton submitted by the latter. Anoth-
or conference WAS appointed
which we hope will be more salts
factory. The proposition, the precise
term of which is not made public, is
founded on the authority of the Ohio
County Commissioners to transfer the in
terest of the county to any concern that
will satisfy them that such concern can
and will complete the road; and if we
understand it, the new company agrees
to take the road as it stands, into posses
sion, and put it into the hands of trus.
tees, with the condition that if
the road is completed and IN work.
Ing order in eighteen months, then
the entire ownership is to vest in
the new organization; if not completed
by that date, the property, with all adj
ditlone, is to revert to first hands again.
This looks fair enough, unless it BIZ OBJ
jected that eighteen months is too much
lee-way, considering the favorable terms
offered by the counties otherwise. The
talk up here has been, that six or eight
months would be amply sufficient pro-
vided operations commenced early in the
spring as has been all along stated to be
the purpose, provided suitable arrange.
menls could be made between parties.

A CHANCE FOR THE CHARITABLE
1t is said that he who giveth unto the
poor lendeth unto to the Lord, and we
are led to this reflection by the fact that
many of that unfortunate class known as
"tramps" and who now sojourn at the
workhouse, are entirely destitute Of boots
or shoes. At this season Of tie year it is
impossible for these people to travel with
bare feet, and 1t is suggested that parties
who can afford to do so, leave their con.
trlbutions in the way Of boots and shoes
at the store of A. 9. Egerter. They will
be place where they will do the most
good.

festival for the benefit of the Thompson
NJ. 4. Church, held on the Island for
the last two nights, has been decided
success. There has been large attend.
ance during both evenings, and the at
fractions have been more than usual
upon such occasions. The portraits of

johnson, of the Leader, were good, and
afforded great deal of amusement to
the visitors. We understand that the
church will receive about $500 as the
result of the festival.
