Polioi Nsws. Quite an excltiag esse of assault and battery we tried before Jus tie Reynolds, yeaterday afternoon, the lacts of wbiab appear to be about a follows: The jlt ws brought by a man named El lis, who reside on lb Coxton Farm, against David Petermao, a neighbor residing on the Skinner farm. Tbe Coxton farm Ilea near tbe bead of Espy Run, and I owned by Messrs. Buklll and Reynolds, of Oil City, and Ellis. On I be edge of thla arm, near tb Plumer road, Is a spring of water which How Irom 600 to 800 barrel per day, and from which tbe operator on tbe Morrison, Sklnaer, Colwell, and other farms, derive water for running their wells, and tbeir families water for household purposes, the privilege having been given tbem by Mr. Jai. 8. McCray who formerly owned the farm. Aa toon a Ellis moved on tbe farm, It wonld appear be came to tbe conclusion hi neighbors could get along wlttout water and be forbid tbem liking it. They, bow. ever, paid no heed to hi f mandate but continued to nse the water. Finding be could not force them off, according to their lory be built a six foot high feooe around the spring. This did not work as the water would run down bill and the neighboring women would oarry It away despite th fence. Ellis then laid a pipe from hi bouse and run tbe (lop Into the spring, and his barn being bandy (hoveled tbe manure and offal Into the spring. This forced tbem ti quit using tbe water. On tbe 7lb of the present month, Ellis met Peterman in the latter' engine bonse; Peterrran expostula ted with bim In regard to tbe water; hard words followed, tbe result being that Peter man turned to and gave Ellla a sound thrashing, hence tbe suit. After a hearing la the case, tba jury ren dered a verdict of not guilty but delendsnl pay tbe cost. Tbe probabilities are that o nslderabl litigation will grow out of Ibis esse as It la uoderstood th neighbor Intend bringing suits against Ellis for oivll damages. It would appear almost too iooredible for beliel that any person could thus discom mode an entire neigbborbood. Mo matter oo whose property It is, water I aiwaya con aldered aa free air, and people entitled to it use a long a they did not Injure or de face aurrounding property.

A day was set for tbe marriage, and John apeot two hundred dollars for new clothes, engraved cards of invitation and preparation lor a banquet It bad been no nounced In church that tba marriage would take place at a certain hour in the morn- Ins, but It didn't. .Tbe evening before tba day set dowo, John called at the bouse, baoded tbe bride elect the Invitation card, and went off with a heart as big at a turnip, Ha bad only been gone a few minute, when an old lover came to tbe bonse, was grieved and astonished, and pleaded with such elo quence that tbe girl took bis arm, went to a proper official, and lo leas than ball an hour tbey were married.
