wharf yesterday afternoon to see'
the Clyde boat come in. Constable
Whittle asked Constable stroebel
to wait for him, while he went up
to his room in the Commercial
House. When be came back he
found Constable Stroeble had gone
off and left him. It seems that
Constable Whittle then went down
to the wharf and there the music
was not slow to begin. Constable
Whittle went up to Constable
Stroebel and asked him why he
had not waited for him. Stroebel
replied that he could not oe wait
ing all day on Whittle.
The latter then told him that
recently be (Stroebel) had on
numerous occasions misrepresent-
ed him and tried to place him in
a bad light. Stroebel denied it,
but White told him he was a
liar and at the same time struck
him a stinging blow over the head
with his walking stick. Strorebel's
hat went flying. He stepped off
to pick it up and started back at
Constable Whittle in a threatening
manner. AS Stroebel came up to
him Constable Whittle gave him
a straight one from the shoulder
him in the chest. This
ended the conflict.
From the best information that
could be obtained it does not seem
that Constable Stroebel was
hankering after a fight. The set
to was lively while it lasted, but
it appears that it was the Edtefeld
mans fight from the minute time
was called until the round ended.

Red Hill Items.

Mr.. EDITOR: The winters chill
ing breeze has changed our spring
like weather into winter at last
and we are once more reminded of
the true situation, that we are in
the midst of winter. Many of the
little fruit buds were being decoy-
ed from their hiding places, but
we trust that The cold winds will
again make them seek their winter
quarters to come forth in due time
with a bountiful supply of fruit
to help Tighten the burdens that
are now 50 very oppressive. JAN
uary, as is usually the case, was
taken up in "trying to get straight" )"
Very little plantation work has
been done and the "hard times''
keep the planters from making
improvements in buildings, except
from actual necessity.
The grain crops in this and
other sections of the county, over
which the writer has been, are not
as fourishing as they should be,
judging from the mildness of the
winter, yet the stands are perfect,
and with M further hindrance the
promises are good for a bountiful
yield.
The guano craze is not 30 great
among the farmers of the west
sid, as in years past, and some
seem indifferent as to buying at
all. Yet farmers are somewhat
like sheep, when one jumps the
fence they all follow, believing the
pastures are greener on the other
side.
The free schools are upon US and
every one wants a school located
at his spring, and it is generally
allowed to keep down "hard feel
ings." The little pupil who learn
cd to spell little last year will
learn about the same this term
and be ready to begin at the same
old place next term. Our repre-
sentatives could build for them
selves a monument as lasting as
the rocks of Gibraltar by solving
the school question and devising
some plan by which the schools
could be centralized and continued
for five or SIX months or longer
each year. Will not some OF our
prospective candidates give the
ball start? Charity begins at
home and we should look to the
welfare of those who are to rule us
in the years to come, and no law
could be a greater blessing than
placing in reach of the masses Of
the people a good free school.
