An interesting boat race took place
in Wheeling recently, between Ed
ward Clator, of that city, and Peter
Boil, of Pittsburgh. The race was
for $500 a side. The Wheeling man
won the prize. The Pittsburghers
bet heavily on Boil, and were san
guine that he would win, but Clator
beat him with ease, and the Wheel
ing boys scooped all the money. 1t
is estimated that more than $4,000
changed hands.

WHIPPED by RED MEN.-So fire.
quent have 'rcd men" outrages been
of late, in different portions of the
State, that perhaps the one that we
have to relate in to-day's issue will
not create an unusual ripple beyond
the confines Of our own neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. "Ccl' Fogle is young man
of perhaps three or four and twenty
summers living about miles above
town, and is, so far as we are aware,
of Il quiet and peaceable nature.
Some time ago, however, he is said
to have shot at person alleged by
him to be "red man." On Satur-
day night, the 10th, Mr.. Fogle, as is
customary with single young men of
his age, was paying his deuoirs to q
young lady living short distance
above town. 1t is said that he had
just hidden her good night and was
ascending to the guest chamber over
head, when he was hailed from with
out. All unsuspecting, he answered
the summons, aud found a squad of
masked men ready to pounce upon
him. In resisting them, he knocked
down two or three of their number,
but he was overpowered. He wa s
tn en- treated to about fifteen or TWEEN
ty stripes, we'll laid on, and released.

of others, but Clevcnger had not been

A STRANGE CAsE.-During the ter
rifle wind and thunder storm, some
two weeks ago, Miss Jennie Kelley,
aged about Is or 20 years, daughter
of Mr.. Joseph Kelly, of Pleasant dis
trict, was affected, under the follow
ing circumstances:
She was out in field milking,
when discharge of lightning struck
the bucket she held in her hand,
curdling the milk in it, and running
up her arm. She jumped and gave a
most terrific scream, and after run
ming few yards, fell to the earth
ank was carried to her fathers house
insensible. Ever since, at regular
intervals, she has suffered with Sc
we're and peculiar spasms. They at
tack her suddenly. Now it is an arm
that is drawn with irresistible force
into all imaginable shapes; next, a
finger is twisted; then she is attacked
with contortions in the side or chest;
and again one. side Of her face is
thrown into writings. All the time
she remains perfectly sensible: in
deed, when suffering with a contor-
ton in one part of her body, she can
anticipate where the attack will be
next, and screams to her attendants,
Bind my fingerr' "Wrep my arm!'
etc. The forge, as we said, is ire
sistable. Five strong men could not
hold her arm in place once when she
was suffering with an attack in that
