Row AT A CoLoRED FAIR--A MAN
SHoT-On Saturday night last about twelve
o'clock, difficulty occurred between some
colorcd men during fair ut Little Asbury,
near Abingdon, in which Frank Clark
was shot by Jesse Thomas. A play
full scufflo took place in the church
between Thomas and II friend, when Clark,
who is sexton of the church, ordered them
TO so outside, saying that was no place for
qualrclling AS they turned to go out,
Thomas alleges that Clark struck him. Upon
this he knocked Clark down. The latter
sprang up instantly and struck Thomas with
club and three of Clarks friends joined in
the attack. Clark says that thereupon he
drew pistol and fired three shots, the first
striking Clark in the left side under the arm,
the second passing through the boot leg Of
one of Clarks friends and the third
ball whzzng harmlcssly into the air.
Clark is severely wounded. His physician,
DR.. Stewart, of Edgewood has not yet found
the ball. Justice John Ii. Bradford issued q
warrant for Thomas,s arrest, which was cf-
fected on Sunday at Stephen Persons near
Hartford Furnace, by Deputy Sheriff Gun
ningham. Thomas was unable to procure
bail and was accordingly committed to Jail
for the action of the grand jury.
Alexander Conn and Thomas Norton,
friends of Clark, were also arrested, on the
charge of assaulting Jesse Thomas, but were
released on bail for their appearance at
court

Political Notes.

-"rilden, reform and constitutional Libcr.
ty" is the campaign cry of Cassius NJ. Clay.
Wendell Phillips thinks Hayes will be
elected; also, that the Republican party is
about rs corrupt as parties ever get TO be.
The Liberal State Central Committee of
Michigan met recently at Jackson and un
animously Endorsed the st. Louis nominees.
"A colorcd Tilden club is actively at work
in Richmond, Va. The organization is large
ly composed of the most respectable and in.
telligent colored men in the city.
General Grant seems inclined to atone
for his political and moral crimes. He is
destroying the Republican party, and using
up every chance of Hayes and Wheeler's
election as cfIeclualy as the most jealous
Democratic partisan could ask for Go on
Mr.. President, go on.-N. Y. Day Book.
The Missouri Democracy has wheeled
into line in SUPPORT of the st. Louis nomina-
lions In the platform adopted by the State
convention the action of the House of Repre-

FEED Your CORN AT HoME.-The pros
pect for an unusually large crop of corn and
consequent low prices, gives force to the fol.
lowing advice TO farmers, from the Salisbury
AdUe1tiSer:
We have repeatedly advised our farmers
not to sell any corn when it brings less than
eighty cents per bushcl. 1t will always pay
to feed it when it is less than that price
This year we have tried little experiment,
the result of which is, that four bushels of
corn will produce fifty lbs of chicken, which
at IL cents brings six dollars The corn
is worth two dollars, gain of four
dollars for trouble. Twenty bushels of corn
meal fed to cows with two stacks of fodder,
produce enough milk at eight cents n quart
to bring eighty dollars. The meal at sixty
cents costs twelve dollars, the fodder eight
dollars, leaving sixty dollars towards paying
for the cows, while the manure paid for the
time taken to feed them. The same results
will be realized by feeding hogs, horses,
sheep or beef cattle judcously, while the
greatest profit of all will be realized in in
crease productiveness of the farm. Our far
mers will never be independent until they
commence sending their produce to market
in leather bags ii. C. live stOck), and the
sooner they become convinced Of this the
better it will be for them.

TIE BEIKNAP TRIAL.-Judgc Black, in
his speech in the Senate on Monday in de-
Tense of Gen. Belknap, admitted the appoint
ment of the post trader Marsh at the request
of Mrs. Belknap and the taking ofmoney by
Belknap from Marsh The learned adyo.
cate, however, placed his client in II very
awkward position by contcnding that Bel
KNAPP listened TO explanations from his wife
and family and was made to believe that the
receipt of the money from Marsh was not in
consistent with his honor. 1t is the old eX-
cusc of Adam-thc simple, confidng man
tempted by the deep, designing woman.-
Judge Black argued That it was customary
for officials to receive presents, and instanced
the case of President Grant, who received
large sums of money before he was elected,
and afterwards appointed the donors TO high
offices. lie would make it appear that ifthe
President could do such things without being
impeachcd, his subordinate officer, Secretary
Belknap, ought not to suffer for them. The
Republican Senate is on the horns of di-
lcmma. The conviction Of Bcknap will
amount also to II silent conviction of General
Grant. If it fails to convict the Secretary
upon the testimony before the whole coun-
try, the Republican party will stand forth as
approving and sustaining the grossest frauds
and corruption. The prospect either way
can not be very pleasant for the contcmpla.

of the city of Baltimore in the Baltimore and
Ohio road? 1t is $3,250OOO of stock, on
which the city has for many years received
ten per cent. dividends, making profit d.
rectly In cash annually on this Investment,
beyond the interest it pays ON the bonds is
sued IN the payment for this stock; and this
difference between six and ten per cent, viz
four per cent, is $780, 900 year. But be-
sides this, the city owns its proportion of the
surplus fund of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, viz: of 1874 1869, 791 90.
This great fund has been invested in the i'm.
portant and invaluable extensions and inn
provements of the Baltimore and Ohio road,
not only in Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia, but in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
other States, by which vast business has
been brought to Baltimore, and through
which the city of Baltimore has been sustain
ed and strengthened and made successful in
her rivalry with New York and other Allan
tic cities.
The proportion of the city of Baltimore in
this great surplus fund, due to her ownership
in the stock of the road, is $S,419,0 33, so that
instead of the city of Baltimore having but
$3,25O,O 900 in The Baltimore and Ohio road, it
really owns of the capital the vast sum of
$ll ,G90 ,033, and certainly it is not too much
to say that this surplus fund promises ulti-
mately to pay as well directly and in all
forms as the investment of the city in the
Western Maryland road.
In order to work out the great designs and
to accomplish the results which the manage
mcnt ofthe Baltimore and Ohio company has
hoped to secure, the continued co operation
and just and equitable action of the city of
Baltimore and State of Maryland must be
relied upon, and with such Il course which
unquestionably will show the highest wis
dom on the part of the city and the State,
the taxpayers may hope not only to realize
the immense advantages which are now being
secured by the enterprise and powerful con-
ncctions of the Baltimore and Ohio road, but
they may also reasonably look for the vast
relief which will flow from the successful
completion ofthe plans and work of the Bal
timore and Ohio company. No city in the
world can point to all investment producing
such grand and invaluable fruits to com.
munity as can the city of Baltimore to its in
vestment i'll the Baltimore and Ohio road ;
and, large as have been the contributions of
this company to the wealth, and progress,
and prosperity of the city in the past, with
that wise and friendly cooperation which
may be reasonably anticipated, the results in
the future, both to the treausry and business
of the city, will be still more remarkable and
interesting.
The relief from the present depression in
the business of the country, and restoration
to its normal condition, will realize such q
flow of advantages and permanent develop.
menls rs cannot fail to advance the interests
and prosperity of our people with extraordi-
nary rapidity.

HOT WEATHER.

IL.
The hot weather continued during last
week, the thermometer ranging between 90
and 90 degrees in the shade Many persons
who were exposed to the suns rays were
Frustrated by the heat, but have not heard
of any fatal cases.
ERRATIC wHTRLwIND.
On Thursday night of last week we had n
severe thunder storm with rain and hail. A
singular whirlwind passed over n portion of
our district about o'clock, p. M. The first
hear of it was at ID. Hopes Mills. Here
it twisted several limbs off n chestnut tree
and carrying them about 20 yards, threw
them in the mill race Some of the limbs
were eight inches in diameter. The wind
then lifted and the next point il visited was
at Mr.. Z. Leacy's, where it tore his hay stacks
TO pieces. 1t next appeared at A. W. Scar
boro's, where it leyelled one hundred panels
of fence, stripped large locust tree of all its
branches, blew up several fruit trees, blew
down log barn and tore n section of roof
from shed twelve feet long and six feet
wide, which it carried rs Yards from the
building. 1t then appeared to lift again, and
that is the last have heard of it, lis course
was from S, w. to N. L. Here the track of
the wind was about one hundred yards long
and one hundred yards wide. Persons liy.
ing within 100 yards of its course did not
feel the wind.
SNAKES KILLED by LIGHTNING.
On the same night tree near Broad Creek
was struck by lightning and two very large
copper head snakes were killed by the fluid.
They were at the base of the tree, and were
torn to pieces as ifa charge of gunpowler
had exploded in them.
BACON THIEVES
A short time ago some thieves who want
ell a change of diet broke into the meat house
of a gentleman living near our village, stole
ten large pieces of bacon, and escaped with
their booty. They unlocked the door and
at leaving left it locked. The mean rascals
have not yet been discovered, but if they
persevere in their stealing they will sooner
or later get to their proper home, the pen-
tertiary.
SHEEP KILLED by DOGS.
Some time last week Mr.. VIM. Galbrath
had several fine sheep killed by dogs. Mr..
G.. has large stock of fine sheep, but they
are an unsafe investment whilst so many
worthless dogs roam at large.

SUICIDE OF AN OLD LADY On Saturday
morning last Miss Mary Smith, aged 70
years, sister of the late Alexander Smith of
this county, committed suicide by drowning
herself in Swan Creek, near its mouth. She
lived with Mr.. Samuel Potts, and on Satur-
day morning was missed from the house.
Subsequently a neighbor reported having
seen her crossing corn field, in the direction
of the wharf. In the afternoon her dead
body was discovered in the creek near its
mouth. No cause can be conjectured for the
act, unless it was from temporary disease of
the mind.
