ATAIE OF Two Hoos.-Yesterday al
ternoon our military contemporary, Lieu
tenant General fancy, Of the RegtSsr, at
tended meeting Of the Board Of Dlrec'
tors Of the Nail City Brewing Company.
While in the southern part Of the city the
rallant Lieutenant observed couple Of
wine ENJOYING the quiet possession OF
life, I,berty and the pursuit Of happiness
mon he public street. The Lieutenant's
sense Of duty and justice prompted him
10 take Immediate steps TO check this tia.
rrant violation OF the city Ordinances.
Calling 10 his assistance Officers Baum and
Maria the daring and intrepid VIM. H.
vrasped in his right hand freshly-point-
al Faber No. 9, and boldly started in
pursuit OF the adventurous swine. The
Ellustrious Prince Of Wales pig-sticking
ieats in India pale into insignifcance
when compared with the experience OF
fancy upon this occasion. Luckily for
posterity, DR.. Bull Run Russell was not
present 10 give to the world full and
iaithfull record OF this most eventful
period in the history Of our hero.
However, the pigs were nnally PenneuI
aud the question raised as to what
should be done with them. A
council was called, in which our friend
John Butterfeld, ex-Councilman Harry
Ulrieh, Municipal Clerk Darrah, Lieut..
fancy and others participated. As the
porkers had been captured in the bailt-
wick OF Kaiser William Schultz, and as
they were reputed TO be good and loyal
subjects Of His Excellency, the gentlemen
Of the council began to fear that the impe1t'
uous Lieut.. had over.stepped the bounds
OF prudence and rendered himself liable TO
imprisonment, il not TO death, at the
hands OF the Royal pOtentate Of the late
independent Republic. ltwas finally de-
cided that committee should wait upon
the Kaiser at hiP castle and intercede in
behalf Of the brave but unfortunate scrib'
bier. In the meantime the unconscious
cause Of all this tribulation were placed
in pen upon the premises Of a Mr.. Mel:
dermeyer, and will this morning be sold
at public sale.

THE LATE BRIDGEroRT CONCERT
From general expression OF the citizens
OF Bridgeport, the late concert given by
singers under Captain Davis care was
not only very satisfactory entertain
ment, but very creditable to the young
ladies and gentlemen taking part. Many
persons were not aware Of the attainment
and musical culture OF some Of the per-
formers. Mr.. George Heinlein aston.
ished many who have known him from
his early youth with his artistic render
ing OF several pieces on the piano, among
them some of his own composition. To
see him perform duet that he composed
and taught to the accomplished young
lady playing with him, and know that
all this knowledge has been acquired
without one ray OF light (tor he has
been totally blind from early CHILDHOOD
was a surprise as well as a great gratiti.
cation TO all who heard him, and right
heartily did they give expression TO their
delight. His taste and culture in music
is 81 no ordinary character. Messrs.
Adams d Lucas furnished one Of their
best instruments, and the blind musician
appeared, although modest to fault OF
his attachments, 10 be lost to all sur
roundings when he manipulated the keys.

Two LOVING CoUsINs.-We some weeks
since made mention Of the fact that Mrs.
Frances Martin had entered an intorma'
ton before Justice Hammer charging
one C. Il. Martin with enticing her daugh.
ter Anna away from home for lewd pur'
poses. The couple were traced to Pitts
burgh, where the mother succeeded in
recovering her erring daughter. The
man Martin was allowed to 60 scot free,
and the girl brought back to her home
here.
Fearing that Martin, who had obtain:
ed great Influence over the girl, would
again seek her out, Mrs. Martin secured
her daughter situation as domestic in
the family OF Mr.. J. C. Hervey, the
auctioneer, at Elm Grove, But It seems
that Martin by some means heard OF her
whereabouts, as the sequel will show. On
Tuesday evening last, accompanied By a
friend he drove out from this city to the
residence OF Mr.. Hervey, and in few
moments prevailed upon the dcluded girl
to again accompany him. The party
drove towards Triadelphia, but it !.
thought that this was simply dodge and
that they came 10 this city ana lV0k psO'
age on steamer for some point below.
Mrs. Martin as early as Sunday had
heard that Martin was lurking about the
city, and fearing the worst had notified
the officers 10 keep watch upon him
Justice Hammer instructed his Constables
to hunt up the unwelcome visitor, bnt
they were unable 10 find him, and he is
probably ere this safe from pursuit, it
company with HIS paramour.
The peculiarly Of this case is that The
principal parties arc cousins. Martin, too
has wife aud family in Martins Ferry
He was formerly employed as a cook in
restaurant in this city. The girl is de
scrlbed as quite pretty, and not over
eighteen.

MART1Ss FERRY IrIMs-A shooting
ARRAY occurred on Glenn's Run, short
distance back Of town, on Wednesday
evening, the particulars Of which, as near
as we can learn, are as follows: William
Colvin rode up TO the house Of Samuel
Mcconnell, between whom and COlyin
there has been an enmity existing for
some time, Mcconnell charging Colvin
with being too intimate with his Nc.
Connells) wife. Some angry words were
exchanged, whereupon Coivin drew ont
q revolver and commenced firing at Nc
Council, who knocked the revolver out
Of Colyin's hand returned the fire, three
balls taking effect-one in Colvin's arm,
another in his shoulder, and a third
striking him in the forehead, glaucing
OF and cutting an ugly cash. None Of
the wounds, however, Il Is thought, will
necessarily prove fatal. After the shoot
ing Mcconnell came to town and swore
out warrant for the arrest Of Colvin,
and an officer went out after him, but he
was not in a condition to be brought to
court. The above statement was fur
nished US by a person living in the neigh
borhood.
There will be meeting OF the credit.
ors Of the Ohio City Mill to-day, before
whom the affairs Of the company will be
laid, and as they are not in as bad shape
as has been reported, it is hoped and rea;
sonably expected that an extension will
be granted and the affairs Of the company
put on more solid foundation than they
has been in the past. The mill is now
running with orders ahead at the ad.
vanced rates, and possessing as this mill
does the natural advantages for the man
iucture Of nails, ut much less cost than
competing mills in this vicinity, it Is not
likely the mill will be allowed TO stand
idle. The failure Of the company, how
ever, does not seriously effect, outside Of
their stock, the standing Of any Of the
stockholders or firms OF the town. There
was a report in circulation that the Ohio
City Bank OF this place held considera.
bic amount Of the mills paper and would
be loser, but Mr.. Charly Jenkins, the
Cashier, informed us that the bank did
hold small amount OF the mills paper,
but that the bank is fully and well Sc
cured for all liabilities Of the mill held
BY them, and that the Ohio City Bank
will not lose one dollar by the failure.
Charles Night has sold his stock OF
hardware 10 G. Wells.
In consequence Of i'll health Miss
Maria Boyd has concluded to quit bust
ness, and A. NJ. Shipman, auctioneer is
selling of the stock remaining on hands.
Messrs. Spence, Bags & Co, are having
good spring trade, and are running
their foundry up toits full capacity.

Coop FRIDAr.-Po-day Is Good Friday,
which commentaries the death and cru.
cifxion OF the Lord. Upon this day the
services in the Catholic Churches consist
simply Of the singing Of the Passion &C.
cording to ST. John, and the alteration Of
the cross by the priests and the people.
Every circumstance Of The tragedy is put
before the people, not merely in words,
but with all the expressiveness Of the Ger.
emonial. In many Of the churches u sep
nIchre Is built in 4 convenient place rep
resenting the Saviour in the tomb. On
Holy Saturday the ceremonies comprise
chiefly the blessing OF the holy water and
its distribution among the people, and the
ringing in Of Easter Joy. On this day the
AlleluiR Is sung, the church is changed
from its sombre appearance, and presents
an aspect OF exultation and joy.

SHOOTING AFFRAY OVER THE RIVER.
Samuel Mcconnell, who resides on
Glen's Run back Of Martins Ferry, has
for some time past been suspicious Of his
wiie's fidelity. 1t appears that last fall
Mcconnell learned what TO his mind was
sufficient grounds on which TO sever his
former friendly relations with man by
the name OF VIM. Colvin, and forbid him
again visiting his house. On last
Wednesday Colvin came TO McCon-
nell's house on horseback, and rode
Into tile yali, whoroi khs met Nc
Cornell. A quarrel ensued, resulting
in Colvin drawing a revolver and firing
twice at Mcconnell, missing both times.
Mcconnell ran into the house and return.
ed armed with revolver which he dis
charged ut Colvin three times, each shot
taking effect, one in the head inflicting IN
ugly scalp wound and one in each arm.
Colvin is said to be in precarious condi-
ton. Mcconnell was arrested and had
hearing in Martins Ferry yesterday, the
result Of which We did not learn.

A SKIRMIsn on THE WATER. About
II o'clock yesterday morning the steam
ers Harrison and Iron Valley engaged in
a skirmish in the river in front OF the
city which attracted considerable atten-
ton along The landing. The Iron VAL
ley was en- route up the river, and as she
approached the bridge the Harrison
backed out into the river Just above the
whariboat. The Iron Valley immediate
" signalled the Harrison 10 take the ISL
and side, which the latter boat answered
by signalling that she desired 10 take the
Wheeling side. The Harrison had sever.
al barges in tow, and while the signals
were being exchanged the strong current
threw them toward the Iron
Valley, which was compelled 10
back out Of their reach. AT the
same time q heavy barge which was float
ing slowly down the river came upon the
rear Of the Harrison, and that steamer
was required to back to the Island shore
to escape collision. After this the two
steamers made fresh start, the same
signals being exchanged. The Harrison
carried her point, and although on the
Island shore when the signals were ex.
changed, crossed over and passed the
IronValley on the Wheeling side. Near
the Riverside mill the Harrison collided
with the barge AT. Corte, but no damage
resulted. The whistling Of the steamers,
and their peculiar maneuyers upon the
water attracted large crowd Of people
to the wharf.
