CLEARFIELD At Glen Hope, this county, on last Saturday evening, desperate fight occurred, in which a man named Ed ward Maryfield, was shot four times, the report of which we have received from an eye witness, and give it as it was rendered to us : On last Sunday, two weeks Rgo, Mr. Maryfield, who is in the employ of liush Fleck, Esq, in the logging busi ness on Clearfield creek, drove into Glen Hope and hitched his horso in the stable of Mr. Charles B. Melus, -who keeps the hotel at that place, borne time during the day the horse was turned loose by somo one and the straps belonging to the bridle, taken. Mr. Maryfield, after recovering his horse, rode to the hotel and charged Mr. Melus, or his boys, with having had something to do with it. High words ensued, but the constable, be ing present, further trouble, for the time being, was checked. Mr. Mary field then rode away, intimating that he would attend to the matter at some future time. Nothing more was known of the affair uutil last Saturday, the 12th inst., when, as Mr. Melus was wheeling a barrow load of ice up to tho main street, he was hailed by Mr. Maryfield, who approached him from the opposite side. As he came towards iiim Mr. Melus lowered his barrow nod took a seat on one of the handles. Mr. Maryfield asked him if he thought he was able to fight him. Mr. Melus, who had been ailing a long time, re- 1)1 ied that he was not able to tight a my. Mr. Maryfield then struck him ou the cheek aud caught and pulled him from the sidewalk. Mrs. Melus, seeing the disturbance, rushed to the spot uud seized Maryfield, ft ho turned aud struck her. Melus then drew a revolver and shot Maryfield, who then turned upon Melus and threw him down and wliilo in that position the wife took an ax which Melus' little boy was carrying, nnd which had been used in getting out the ice and struck Marvfield on the back with it two or three times, which had the effect of attracting him from her husband and again attacking her.and taking the ax -from her, with which he again made Jit the lm.sbaud, raised high in the air. The husband then fired twice, one of the shots taking e fleet in the .sides and the other in the wrist of Mary field. This caused Marvfield to low or tho ax aud stop the dreadful work. Maryfield was shot through the cheek, through the wrist aud in the shoulder during the rencontre, somo say four times. A warrant was .issued for Melus and wife, for assault with in teut tokill, but was afterwards with .drawn so far as the wife was concern d. 'Squire Patchen heard the case, and sent Melus to Clearfield town, where he was released on five hundred .dollars bail. Dr. O. YV. Caldwell dressed the wounds of Maryfield, who it is belived will recover. Mrs. Mollis has sued out a warrant for Maryfield ' on the same charge, and it is said -Molus will do the same. Oseeula lie- title. Prof. Wickersham, in his annual report on the commas schools of this State, says: "There are multitudes idly waiting for vacaut clerkships and unfilled offices, while mechanical work, more houorable and remunerative, in vites on all sides the efforts of willing hands. It is a tact as strong as it is significant, that of 3G00 criminals in the United States, in 18G8, uinely seven per cent, of thera never learned a trade. Out of two hundred and forty convicts received at the Eastern Penitentiary last year, enly twelve had been apprenticed and served their time. lion. W. II. bbortt, Mlio was tnaie Consul at Cardiff, ju Wales, at the request of Senator Cameron, sail ed for there a short time ago. His pay is said to be some $2,500 a year in trold. Dr. J. II.

William iat dowJL..aijd was as juiet as a lamb. W. R. DUNN The editor of the New Bethlehem Pre, is evidently onto it, as notice the following beligerant article taken from that paper of last week : A few issues since we made a brief note of a disgraceful fight in which certain of our' rowdies and black guards shamefully abused a party of inoffensive Irish. One of tho rioters, Emmett Swartzwelder, after the ap pearance of the aforosaid article acted the man, and freely acknowledged him self to be in the wrong, for which we have given him ciedit. But Lee 8. II hues, the pugeliet, who relics on a handy-billy or slung-sbot in time of need, no doubt feeling slighted that his name was not mentioned before, is now informed that tho editor of this paper was the author of the first arti cle, as lie is of this one, and considers himself responsible for all nnd every thing that appears in its columns. It does not speak well of a man who makes some pretensions to learning and who has been a school teacher, to act in such a cowardly and disgusting manner as he has been doing of late. Instead of coming to us like a man and- demanding satisfaction, he has been making threats of killing, etc. Now let Lee S. Ilimes know that it is not the act of a man to attack the hands employed in this office, or in any wny counected with it, but he should approach the editor iu person, in every such case, who alone is re ponsible and is not the least alarmed, as we are never afraid of cowards, and if Lee S. Ilimes wants anything of a definite character, he can-have all he wants by calling on the editor at this office at any hour, or, if more agreea ble, he cart cull by appointment. Let the learned disciple of A. B. C. sub due his Modoc propensities and mind liia P's and Q's. Th is notice is not a very flattering one, but if it is not worth at least a dollar.it is not worth a cent. Vic. A. Haines, Editor. The storm which passed over Tidioute this (Thursday) morning did considerable damage to oil wells in this section. I lie storm was short but very severe, and it left its mark in sevei.il places. A hash of lightning at about nine o'clock seems to have been the princi pal disturber of affairs. It struck the Gilson well, knocking down Jerry Zink and his little daughter who were standing near; and almost simulta neously a wooden tank of the Tidioute Oil Pipe Co. near the mouth of Gor don run was ablaze. In close proximity stood two other wooden tanks, the three containing 1,223 barrels of oil. Before the fire had got headway, six hundred-barrels of oil were run from the tanks, thus saviug it, and averting a much larger conflagration. Two of the tanks were covered with a wooden building and this was soon in flames. As the fire reached the tanks the burning oil rau down the hill and threatened the dump tank of Fisher lros., -aud the machine shops and houses on the run. Close by the burn ing tank were three houses; two of which were inhabited, the third being eraptv. These were in great danger of burning, and were soon cleaned of their contents. The one located near est tho tank soon caught fire. The third house owucd by Pat. Mouroo was saved by pulling down the. one be tween it and the fire. The burning oil ran across the road aud t'owii upon the flats setting fire to a small store house, belonging to the cempany. Hero the force of the oil spent itself, and tho fire in this direction was stop ped. A small tank standing near the others but containing no oil caught fire but did not burn dowu. The heavy rain which fell during the con flagration did much to keep the fire within bounds. The loss by this fire was 600 barrels of oil beides the houses, damage to furniture &c, on which there was no insurance, amounting iu all to about 81500. Tidioute Journal. BEST THINGJN THE WEST.
