Shooting.

Mrs. W. II. Ristler, resident of Bellaire,
formerly of Belmont, cavorted through the
evening passenger train at Bellaire, on Mon
day, with pistol in hand, in search of Frank
Linn, of Belmont, who she understood was in
the cit Pom that day. Failing to find him, she
took the train which reached Belmont at
midnight, and proceeded Immediately to the
Hotel of which Linn is the proprietor, and
called him to the door, where few angry
words passed, and finally Mrs. Risstler produ-
ced revolver and fred at Linn; the ball
struck the breast bone of The right breast, and
glanced off, doing but little injury. After the
shooting the woman took the early morning
train East, and returned home
The reasons that operated on the mind Of
Mrs Rissler which led her to the perpetration
of this act are said to grow out of the sup
posed too intimate relations which have ex.
listed between Linn and her daughter Mary,
who is said to be buxom lass of nineteen
Linn is man Of family, wife and several
children. We are not converssnt with all the
facts iE the case-we presume that they will
be brought out in legal investigation, and
hence for the present we make no further
mention of the affair.

WHAr appears to be final survey of the
extension of the Cleveland, Tuscarawas VAL
ley and Wheeling Railroad, has been CON-
menced at Uhrichsville, and the surveying
party is proceeding in this direction, setting
three rows of stakes. Only one thing more is
needed to secure this almost invaluable i'm
provement, and that is the evincing of a little
more liberal spirit by those who are directly
benefited. Everyone who throws obstacles
in the way of this enterprise either by re-
fusing the right of way, without the pay
ment Of enormous damages or giving it the
tards the wheels of progress in the communi-
ties through which the road will pass, and do
material injury to their own interests.

FARRINGToN BARRIoKLow and his widowed
sister Mrs. Cunningham, living four miles
south of Deersville, Harrison county, were
tied and placed in bed by four robbers, on
Tuesday evening of last week, after which
the four proceeded to 60 through bureaus, not
even stopping to batter down the doors of
Mr.. BIS iron safe in which he kept his money
and valuable papers. Forty dollars was found
in drawer, but after MASKING in the outer
portion of the door of the safe they came to a
halt and went out for deliberation. During
their absence Mr.. Barricklow managed to un-
tie himself, and when they returned to renew
their operations, he met them at the door and
plunged pitchfork into one of their number,
whereupon they took their wounded and left,
not returning It is hoped the pitchfork
wound may be the means of fastening the
crime, and that they may have justice meted
out to them.
