News of Interest.
News has reached US to-day Of the
robbery and murder of David Trimble,
a huckster residing near Beallsville. 1t
seems that on Tuesday, Trimble started
from his home on a hucksterlng tour,
informing his family that he would re-
turn about ) o'clock. Not arriving at
the time appointed, search was instltu-
ted, and about mile and half from
Lingo's Mill the team and the body OF
the unfortunate man were found, the
hucksTer lying by the side OF his
wagon stark dead, with bullet hole
through his head. No particulars as to
the party who did it are known.
Trlmbl1 had over 5000 in his posses
sion when he started out, and as the
money Is missing, it is fair to assume
that the man was murdered Tor his mon
ev. A singular coincidence is the fact
that Just two years ago to the day Trim
bic was robbed of SIS. and, though sus-
picion attached to certain parties, out Of
the good-heartedness of Mr.. Trimbe no
prosecution was made. The peddler is
reported to have been a shrewd, lntelil-
gent man, well respected in his neigh
bOrhood, ahout42 wears old, has a family
of eight children, and was not supposed
TO have an enemy in the world. He was
reared in the neighborhood in which he
met his melancholy end, and the esti-
nation in which he was held by the peo-
pie OF his section will insure a speedy
and earnest effort to find the assassin
aud robber: and if the fiend is found, II
is possible that summary and instant
Justice will be melted out with full
hand.
Since the MisUigmcer has given circu-
lation to the lies sent to the Cincinnati
Ga.d,C, regarding bull doing in BcIaire
on the part OF Democrats, It may not be
out of place to say that such re-
ports are as silly as they are
false. No buldozing has been
done i'm Belaire, and our contemporary
i'm Wheeling is old enough and ought
20 know better than to 90 to Cincin-
natl for news when the things com
planned Of are alleged to have occurred
at its own door. The correspondent
who gave publicity to such false state
ments, and who so Justify calls on court
interference, is supposed to have ms
freedom TO run at large only through
" court iorbearance." There is no
truth whatever in the statement that
Democrats are trying to bulldoze the
voters. The author OF the report is the
same chap who wrote the dispatch to
the Ohio State Journal which was re-
viewed in the REGISTER last Monday
morning. This is of piece with all ne
gets up.

A skill, i'm which three boys were rid
ing. capsizcd in midriver yesterday al
tcrnoon, and but for the timely assist

the unpleasant task ofwriting up death
from drowning.
