Terrible Fight with q Tramp.

Lampeter correspondent of the l.aucas.
ter, Pa. IHteLiigeHcer writes One of the
most desperate encounters that ever took
place in this section Of the county took pl ace
on Wednesday, at the residence of Henry S.
Scott. In the afternoon tramp, lively,
villainous looking fellow, entered the house
aud demanded food, which the kind. lady OF
the house cheerfully furnished. He com
planned of the absence of coffee, and used
language which alarmed Mrs. Scott, who
called her son, at work in the back yard, who
entered and ordered the tramp out. In,
stantly, the tramp, springing to his feet, seized
q club and struck u murderous blow at young
Scott, missing him, however, but shivering
the dishes that sat on the table to atoms. AT
this time Hiram Spangler, known to be q
perfect athlete, as courageous as he is strong,
who had been working at SCOTS, attracted
by the screams Of Mrs. Scott, put in an ap'
pearanee. At his coming the tramp seemed
to be inspired with renewed desperation;
Kissing curse in the face Of Spangler, he
followed il with blow that would have feled
less stalwart man, but which made little i'm.
preston on the head Of Spangler. The con.
test lasted about twenty minutes, and, by the
appearance of the men, must have been des-
perate. The face of the tramp, from forehead
to chin, was pulled with blows; two teeth
were knocked from his mouth, rib on the
right side was broken, and his left arm badly
sprained. Spangler, though not SO severely
punished, was far from getting off lightly; a
kick had peeled the flesh from off the right
leg, from the ankle almost to the knee, and
his face was so terribly beaten as to render
him totally blinb in half an hour after the
fight was over. When the Scots, who in the
meantime had gone for assistance, returned
to the house, they found Spangler reclining
in chair, completely worn out by the effort,
while the tramp lay senseless on the floor OF
the apartment. The latter, after restoratives
were applied, was taken before Justice Meek,
who, in default of $500 bail, held him for
trial.

An enormous engineering work is in pro-
gress TO provide Baltimore with water, the
present supply being bad in quality and made
quate in quantity. The new source is to be
Gunpowder river, nine miles from the city,
and the water is to be brought through tun.
mel seven miles long, cut through very high
hill. This will be the longest tunnel in Amer
lea, circular in shape, and twelve feet in di.
ameter. Five miles Of the distance is very hard
rock, and the drilling is done by manuel Ia.
Dor, power drills being impracticable in such
a small space. The rest Of the way will be
bricked Fifteen shafts have been sunk.
The cost is estimated at 81, 900, 900, about
1900 men are employed, and the tunnel will
probably be completed in three years. The
employees are mainly negroes, who live in
miserable log cabins; and the contractor says
that his greatest difficulty is not of an engi
neering kind, bat comes Of drunkenness
among these men. Liquor dealers infest the
temporary villages with portable bars, and
sell vile whiskey so cheap that the laborers
buy extensively.

the owner of u remarkable mare. She Is 10
years old, and has borne 10 colts. A mum.
Der of them were sold for 81 200, leaving a
sufficient number in Mr.. Ks possession to
stock his farm. He values his remaining
stock, from this mare, at 81 ,OOO-and if there
is another mare in the county which has
proved rs prolific, and the colts Of which
have realized as much money, we should like
10 hear of her.

When he wants to send load Of -four to

the wagon, and sends him off, unattended
and alone, and he has never been known to
miss the road, although there are several
turns in it and a bridge has to be crossed

wagon, and, waiting until relieved of his load,
goes straightway home, without fail. Can

A MopEL HusnANb ASD FATHER. lie is
Charged tcith Beating his Wife and Biting
his Children.-0 Wednesday evening Squire
Bosley, of Howard county, Md, arrested a
man named John Hancock, on charge of
beating his wife. Hancock, it is alleged,
formerly resided in Baltimore county, a few
miles from Relay Station, and only left the
locality when he heard that n warrant was out
for his arrest on charge of wife.beating. On
taking up his residence in Howard county,
with his forgiying spouse, he changed his
ways for time and ceased his cruelty. Lat.
terly, however, his old temper seemed to
seize him, and he not only, as is alleged, beat
his wife, but treated his children with the
most shocking brutality. He severed the lit.
tie finger from the left hand ola two year. old
babe with his teeth, chewed the ear Of boy
Of four, and savagely bit in the knee cap his
eldest child, aged about nine years. He
threatened the lives of all who demonstrated
with him, and had to be handcufied before
being removed to Howard county jail
