This cliff is that introduced into King Lear"
Act ~, Scene 6. "the country near Dover, en-
ter Gloster and Edgar, dressed like peasant =:

labor.
Gloster-Methinks the ground is even
Edgar-HOrribly steep!
Hark! do you hear the sea?

And dizzy It's, to cast ones eyes so IOwi

Hangs one that gathers samphire-dreadful

Methinks, he seems no bigger than his head:
The fishermen, that walk upon the beach,
Appear like mice; and yon tall anchoring bark
DIMINISHED to her cock; her cock. a buoy
Almost too small for sight The murmuring
surge
That on the unnumber'd idle pebbles chafes,
Cannot be heard high: I'll look no more;
Lest my brain turn. and the deficient sight
Topple down headlong.
After Gloster is deluded into thinking he has
leaped from the verge, Edgar pretends to find
him. and to be astonished that he revves:
Edgar-Hadst thou been aught but gossauer

So many fathoms down precipitating.
Ihou hadst shiver'd like an egg; but thou dost

Hast heavy substance; bleed'st not; speak ST; :;

A SHOOTtNa SCRApE,

The ringing out Of several pistol

Saturday night at about 8 30 o'clock
caused great excitement among our
people, many Of whom rushed to the
scene to investigate the trouble.
| M.. James A. Bradley and Mr.. J. A.

city, got into dispute which resulted
in blow and finally the discharging Of
their pistols at each other. Six or
| eight shots were fired.
They were standing in front OF ard
rear Mr.. S. B. Jones's Store, and sev-
eral Of the bullets are .mbedded in the
| walls thereabout as some wild shoot.
ing was done, and neither of the COM
batants hit.
Mr.. Lawson b. Kibler happened to
be passing just at the time tho shoot
ing began, and one OF tho balls struck
him in tho foot. The ball entered tho
side Of h Is foot and seemed to range up.
The doctors have not been able to 10.
cate the ball as yet. Several OF the
small bones in the foot are shattered,
and the wound will give Mr.. Kibler
considerable trouble and may mako him
cripple for life. His many friends
hope, however, that in few days he
will entirely recover from the wound
and be as sound as ever. In the hands
of Drs. J. M. Kibler and w. G.. Housesl
he will want for no attention In tho
medical line.
1t is simply miraculous that, In the
crowded condition of the streets at the
time, several persons were not killed.
The young men were before Mayor
Mayer yesterday morning and plead
guilty to drawing a weapon with intent
to injure another. They were fined
$75 each or 30 days on the streets.
Both Of the young men have given
notice OF appeal to the Circuit Court, on
the grounds that the fine imposed was
excessive. G. l.. Blease, Esq, will
represent Mr.. Bradley, and F. H. Domi.
