Two well-known individuals of this
place, Drs. FOlger and Mccormack, had
a little unpleasantneSs last Saturday
evening regarding a trade. Blows fol-
lowed, but a peace-maker appeared.
The fight was stopped and the wounded
borne from the field. A son of DIR.
Folger afterwards visited Mccormack

a frst-class whipping. Our efficient po-

the guest of James Watt.
During last week we enjoyed de-
