IN speaking OF the Endorsement of Hayes
by the coming Republican Convention
says:

show US further, as 1t showed last

our platform only at the expense OF over

handsome treatment extended by Bel

much admired by those who heard it,"

A CORRESPONDENT writing to the
Barnesville Enterprise from Quincy, a
village q few miles west Of BellaiIe says:
"Some Of our citizens who witnessed
the sham battle on Wheeling Island
were reminded of u similar one which
was fought some II or 10 years ago, on
the farm Of Mr.. James Dixon, Sr. The
place selected for the battle Was 8
long, narrJw field, between the two
creeks, and the weapons used were old
muskels, shot-guns, rifles, pistols, and
everything which could be made con-
tribute to the noise and din of the OcCa-
sion. Considerable excitement prevailed
throughout the battle, during which
Bird Crow was shot in the shoulder by q
ramrod which some one had neglected to
remove sitter loading. Some 'cuss
words" were INDUCED in at this junCt-
ure, and had the owner Of the ramrod
been discovered, he certainly would have
suffered a severe penalty Tor his reck-
lessness. The wounded mans Injuries
though painful, were,not serious"
Col. DAVID MCGREGoR was in town
Monday. He made no special report on
the Senatorial question. We rather
guess, though, he is not quiet suited by
