r. WILL DAWSON, says the Browns
vile Clipper, while travelling near
Majorsville, Pa, with County Super
intendent McCollum, of Washington
county, Pa, heard distressing cries
in the woods rs though coming from
a lost child. Mr.. Dawson alighted
from the buggy and proceeded in the
direction of the sound. Before he
had gone far he was attacked by a
huge catamount and fearfully torn
and lacerated by the claws and teeth
of the beast. Fortunately a hunter
was in the woods near and hearing
Mr.. Dawson's cries FASTENED to the
spot and dispatched the brute. His
face is badly scratched and it is
thought he will lose one of his eyes.
Mr.. Dawson was a student here for a
long time and is well known to many
of our citizens. He is nephew of
f. 5. Dawson.
LAST Saturday as Aaron Smith,
colored, was proceeding towards his
home in Stringto vn, he was met by
Harvey Wells and Bill Wilson, both
of them very much under the influ-
ence of liquor. Aaron was carrying
a plate of butter in one hand and u
bucket in the other. The two wor-
thies threw dit into Aaron's butter,
upset his bucket and ordered him to
get out of the road or fight. Aaron
is quiet, gentlemanly darkey. not
in the habit Of disturbing any one,
neither does he like to be disturbed.
He endured the jcers and abuse of
his assa:lants as long as possible,
when with a quiet remark of "By
gum / is gwine up dis road, ;" he went
for Harvey and trimmed him most
beautifully and it is to be hoped
taught him a valuable lesson. Harvey
got to town much soberer and it is
to be hoped wiser young man.

The Fairmont Iader says: about
once every year our City Council
makes an effort to break up the illicit
sale of spirituous liquors in this place
"a business which every citizen
knows has been extensively carried
on here ever since license was refused
a few years ago, and which apparent
" cannot be checked. A few days
ago the Council determined to make
an effort in that direction, and order
ed Mayor Corbin to secure the SER
vices of a competent detective to fer
ret out the violators of the law, be-
lieving that to be the best and only
way of finding them out. Mr.. Corbin
accordingly employed gentleman
named w. NJ. Drugen, of Bellaire,
Ohio. He came on here about week
ago, went to work, and on last
Wednesday morning reported that he
was ready for business. On his in
formation warrants were issued for
Messrs. Thomas Pendergast, Timole-
an Smith and NJ. B. Lemley, and the
arrests were made Immediately after
noon and the parties brought before
the Mayor. This move on the part
