On last Saturday, says the Shelbyville Rescue, a difficulty took place between Mr. J. M. HOOVER and Thomas MCCUIN, at Bellbuckle, in which Mr. HOOVER was stabbed to the heart and killed almost instantly. The difficulty grew out of MCCUIN owing HOOVER for a pair of shoe soles. They were both drinking, as we are informed, hence the difficulty.
