AFFRAY IN HARRISONVILLE

We learn from a gentleman who came through the above place on Saturday  last, 
that an affray occurred there that day between two men named Conde and  
Criss.  It appears that a dispute arose between them in regard to the  
ownership of 
certain lands upon which Criss was building a fence, a quarrel  ensured, 
which resulted in Conde’s striking Criss on the head with a club,  injuring him 
severely.  It is reported to-day (Monday) that Criss died from  the effects of 
the blow.

FIRE 
The cry of fire on last Sunday evening caused not a little alarm  among many 
who perhaps were not thinking of their danger from this devouring  element.  
It was fortunately, however, of short duration this time, having  only burned 
the window curtain and sash in the house of Mr. Mayhugh, before it  was 
extinguished.  Would it not be advisable for the citizens of Pomeroy to  be 
better 
prepared for the like occurrence in the future?
