MIDDLEBROOK.
SeriOus Afravs,


On last Friday night. a shooting occurred
near here. We give it as we heard it. A young
man named Strickler was paying his atten-
tions to a young lady residing with Geo. Mil
Ter. A "rumpus" occurred between O son OF
Miller's (Jacob), and Stricken. and Jacob Mil
Ter forbade Strickler's coming to their house
to see the girl. He went, however. and upon
Jake's seeing him there, he began firing al
him. Five shots were fred;but one struck him
and that in the head. We have not learned
the extent of his wound.
Week before last, a fight occurred near here
between A. j. Miller and George Arehart. with
forks. while threshing, which resulted in Are
harris having the small bone in his left arm
broken below the elbow bya blow from Mil
Ter, as he was getting to mis- feet. However,
Arehart came off cock of the walk" so the
witnesses say. This disturbance was created
by a "tale-bearer' who had more mouth than
good sense and discretion. These troubles are
greatly to be deplored, but they do occur some>
times. Arehart cut his opponents about the
head considerably by striking tn EN- with his
fork, as were on him, SO we hear, at once.
Miller is q brother to Henry Miller, who was
killed in the fight at Brownsburg last TALL a
year ago. Arehart is a very peaceable. honest.
Industrious. Christian man, greatly beloved
by all who know him. and never drinks any
whiskey. He is a model man. He has the
sympathies of the people.

"Maryiand, MY Maryland"

Though the State ofMaryland did not secede,
she furnished to the Confederacy some as gall
liant soldiers as ever fired a musket or drew a
sword. large delegation OF the maryland
Linen attended the unwilling of the Statue of
"StonewalI" Jackson at Lexington on Tuesday,
the 2lst instant. Mr.. George E. Moore of Messy
Creek in this county, wounded Confederate
soldier and pensioner. informs us of several
incidents on their way thither. illustrative Of
the spirit that still "breathes and burns" in
their bosoms that we deem worthy of mention
Mr.. Moore was member of the 18th Tennessee
regiment. and on Tuesday morning. the 2lst,
was at the Baltimore Ohio depot in this place
to accompany the soldiers from this county to
Lexington and to march with them in the pro-
cession. Some of the Marylanders happened
to see on the lapel of his coat his badge, that
had been worked by his. daughter. indicating
that he belonged to the 18th Tennessee regi.
ment, and, as they had fought with that regi-
ment during the war. they proceeded at once
to capture" him, and insisted that he should
go and march with them. He protested, say.
ing that he must go with the Augusta county
soldiers-at the same time showing them the
ticket with which he had been provided entit-
ling him to ride to Lexington. They tore up
his ticket. saying he had fought with them and
must go with them and told him that 1t should
not cost him cent. They thus captured him,
and treated him quite royalty.
When this train halted at the Greenvllle
Depot there were number Of ladies and gen.
tlemen there who wished to board the train to
go to Lexington. not knowing it was charter
ed one. They were informed by the conductor
that 1t was chartered train and that they
could not go on 1t. They were much disap-
pointed and the conductor told them very en-
phatically that they could not go on it. and
locked the door. The Marylanders said that
they had paid for the train, and that the ladies
and gentlemen should go; saying that. during
the war, the people OF this Valley had fed them
and otherwise treated them kindly and hospi-
tably. especially the ladies, and that they
should go on that train; and thereupon I'M
locked the door and admitted them and took
tt EN- to Lexineton.
