noon, up0u hearing that G. Z. Ben.
ton aud DR.. N. S. Boyce, two OF oul
most respectable and esteemed citi-
zens had so iar forgot tn mselYes. a
to let their passions get the letter o
their reason, and indulge in trial o
physical superiority. The quarrel
commenced in II. Z. IIubbard's stop,
in relation to the affairs of j. b
Brown. George Hubbard, in hi
usual way, asked Mr.. Benton "wha'
about Browns business" AIr. Ben
ton replied IL don't know anything
about Mr.. Browns business" upol
which Mr.. Boyce speaks up AMI ii
his usual insulting and dis&greeabl
manner and said YOU LIE. Mr.. BE !
ton very quietly told the Dr.. that 81
he thought that he was going to ST
there and GILL him liar with impu
nifty, to come out doors and sax so.
Mr.. Boyce thoroughly aroused jumped
up from his seat and said he would e
cut doors and call him that, aud s.
out they went. Mr.. Boyce repeated til,
insolent and insulting epithct and Mr.
Benton threw Boyce down on the We
randa Of the store and shook him
little, and then let bin get up J; tn

were stopped by Charles PhiIbrook
While we censure Mr.. Benton for no
displaying little more self contro

called liars without taking some nc
tice Of it, but we are very sorry tina
the affair should have happened. w
don't know who to blame the most.
