DooToR CARVER, the wonderful marksman,
who has been giving exhibitions of his skill in
New York for few days past, is ahead of
all rihemen we have read of. We give be-
low few of his fancy shots. These are all
made with Winchester rife. At Chicago
he broke "a glass balls out of 100; at Cincin-
natl, 90; Detroit, 81; Pittsburgh, 81; and
Cleveland, 80. He appeared in Logansport,
Ind, where he broke 81 balls out of 100, and
shattered 100 in six minutes. In New York
he has given several exhibitions recently, and
we find that his work is unprecedented. At
Deerfoot Park he broke 81 glass balls out of
100 thrown in the air as rapidly as possible.
On the 4th he fired his rifle at 1 1,150 potatoes
and riddled 1,075 in two hours. He has a
man throw ball twenty or thirty feet into
the air, and before it falls he will fire at it
and reload his gun twice, breaking it on the
third shot

Death Of Mrs. Emma Faris.

We are panied to chronicle the death of
Mrs. Charles FarIs nee Davies, which oc-
CURED on Friday morning at o'clock, at the
residence of her parents in this place. Mrs.
Faris had been in i'll health for some weeks
past at her home on the Island, and her ply
sician advised her to visit the country in hope
of her convalescence. She arrived here some
three weeks ago, since which time she has
not been able to leave her bed. On Friday
week hope was entertained of her recovery,
and her husband who is drummer for a
drug house in Wheeling, who had been
spending few days with his sick wife here,
was assured by the attending physician that
she was improving, and that he could without
fear for the worse, attend to business affairs.
With this assurance he started on a trip
through the back counties of Virginia. The
deceased began to grow worse on Tuesday,
and message was sent to call her husband TO
her bedside, but all attempts in that direction
failed, and not until Saturday did he learn
the sad news of her death. He telegraphed
from Grafton to know how his wife was pro-
crossing, and word was sent that she had ex-
pired. No one can scarcely imagine the pain
previous had left his dear one with the ex-
pectation Of greeting her in health and life
when he returned. The saddest part of this
affair occurred a few hours before Mrs.
Faris' death. She most pitifully cried
''Charlie /! Charlie !" but her heart pains were
not gladdened with his presence; and at last,
from exhaustion, she sank back and expired.
''Oh there is a cause for tears and sighs,
And times when we must weep,
And woe oft waits to dim young eyes,
When others close in Sleep"
Mrs. Faris was born in St. Clairsville in the
year 1856, and was a daughter Old. NJ and
jeanette Davies. She was married in Wheel
ing, June 1877, and leaves an infant eight
weeks old. Funeral services were held on
Sunday at 8 P. M, conducted by Rev. Alex
ander. The remains were followed to their
last resting place by large number of friends
and relatives. Interment in Presbyterian
cemetery.

days Intelligencer we CLEAN the following:
"A young man named Henry Overbaugh, re-
siding aboutyone mile west ef~St. Clairsville,
coming to this city yesterday morning, ac-
companied by his father, with wagon load
of vegetables, was made the victim of most
dastardly and diabolical outrage. 1t seems
that Henry Overbaugh concluded to visit a
family namd Fleming, residing about three
hundred yards from Benson's Ferry, while
his father would come to Bellaire and sell
his produce. Young Henry, during the few
leisure moments thus allowed him formed
the acquaintance of young scallawag, resi-
ding in the vicinity of the ferry, named John
Shilling, ''a self-made young man of the
tines with whom he exchanged the sspipe
of peace" Shilling, after regaling himself
and emptying the pipe, concluded that his
new found companion, Henry, should enjoy
friendly smoke, and at once refilled the
pipe, ,one quarter of tobacco and three quar-
tiers of gun powder, and, handing the same
to Mr. Overbaugh, simply, said, NOW
Henry for good smoke" An explosion,
however, soon followed, and Henry Over
baugh, partly by fright, but mostly by con-
cussion, was laid out on the green sod, his
face horribly burned, while the perpetrator
stood off at distance chuckling over his
''smartness". The father, who soon after
the occurrence came to the scene, at once took
his son to Bellaire and entered complaint be-
fore the Mayor. The boy when we saw
him, was pitiful sight to behold. The left
eye he is likely to lose, and that side of the
face is also fearfully swollen and blistered.
Young Shilling was arrested and taken be-
fore the Mayor, at Bellaire, but owing to lack
of proper evidence was released. The Prose-
cutting Attorney may work the case up yet.
