Belmont, little way over the east line
of Grant county, is stirred up. The prom
inent merchants of that village have made a
sensation. One of them, for health's sake,
was down South. The clerk wrote him she
had better come home" He came home and
learned that the hint had reference to faul>
iy matter. After a talk with clerk, brother
merchant and wife the returned man thought
himself imposed upon, and began an assault
upon the clerk, which was followed up by the
wife with cowhide and by the brother, aud
between the three the clerk was laid up for
some days. Such is the report 1t is les
son to the clerk to keep his nose out of the
family matters of other people, and if the
other parties have the usual experience they
will wish they had quietly let the matter die
out instead of publishing it by an open ex-
hibition Of their rage.
