Then the neighbors came in with baskets laden with good things and spread a table with food fit for a king. They also brought a lot of nice presents. So when Mr. Cline returned home he was astonished, surprised, laughed until the tears run from his eyes, and shook hands all round. Thirty took dinner, had a joyful time and went away wishing Mr. Cline many more birthdays. The News extends congratulations also to both Spencer and Rachael.

67 About 7 o'clock, on the morning of the 15th, a fight took place near Danville, in which David Clem cut Miles Gritton's throat from ear to ear, from which he died immediately. Clem was also stabbed in the bowels, whether by himself or Gritton is not known. He will probably die from the effects of his wounds. It seems Clem had rented a farm to Gritton and they had a difficulty in dividing the fruit, and the rencontre was occasioned by a lawsuit regarding this division.
