An Owcnsboro negro, who was deal

On Wednesday morning last, Mr.
Dick Porter, a well-known farmer ami
stock man, residing about eight miles
west of Leitchfield, on the Lcitchfield
and Hartford road, was found near his
own residence shot through the head,
with his own pistol lying close by,
where the deed had been committed.
The supposition is that he suicided, al
though no cause can be advanced for
tho rash act. As yet the affair
remains a complete mystery.

One day lat week an old gentleman
from the northern portion of the
county about twenty-live miles from
this place rode all the way to town to
sec a "pin hack," thinking it was a
new feature added to the fair. But
when he was informed that it was a
style of dra-s worn by the ladies, he
was heard muttering something like
this as he turned on his heel in disgust:
Confound these 'ternal creters; tho
next thing we hear of them doing will
be their wearing of 'britches' that but
ton up behind."

The contract for building our new
jail has been awarded to Mr. Edgar
Bennett, of Hardiusbtirg, Ky. He is
to build us just such a jail as he built
in Calhoon, except a little larger. It
is to contain room for sixteen prisoners,
and is to be complete with iron bed
steads, heating apparatus, and all, for
310,000, to be paid in Ohio county
bonds, bearing seven per cent per an
num, payable within four years at the
pleasure of the County Court. Mr.
Bennett arrived in this place Sunday
night, and will proceed with tho work
in a short time.
On the 13th int., B. B. Groom, of
Thompson's, Station, Ky., (which is
somewhere up in the Blue Grass
countty), sold his Vinewood herd of
Short-horn cattle at public auction.
One cow brought ?17,i)00 00, and one
bull brought $5,000 00, and the av
enge price on seventy-three haul of
cattle was 1,691,00. lit the name of
Heaven, why don't the farmers and
stock-raisers of Ohio county invest it
little in fine rattle and get rid of their
.-crub stock! It costs about as little to
raUc a thoroughbred as a scrub, and
when ready for market, it is wortli a
field full of them. If one man is not
able to introduce the thoroughbreds,
form an association for that purpose.

An old white woolcd darkey, who
looked as though he was one of those
that had seen "General Washington"
in the Revolutionary times, presented
hitnclf at the ticket office window at
Beaver Dam, and sang out in a creak
ing voice: "I wants to git a 'scutsion
ticket to Leitchfield to old John Rob
msons show, cf you please salt."
"Hand outyour money," says Colonel
Doom. "I can git one dar and back,

A giand hall was given by Mr. E

about forty couples visitors included.
Owenslwro, Elizabethtown, Greenville
and other neighboring towns and cities
being represented. The whole assem
bly were in high spirit-i.nnil an enjoya
ble occasion it was to till. Tin Eliza
bethtown string band furnished music
for the occasion, which was pro
nounced by all to be magnificent. The
dancing commenced about 9 o'clock,
and a gay time one that will long be
remembered continued until about
3 o'clock, a. in., when the crowd be
gan to ,.-ml their way to their several
homes, to dream over the few pleasant
hours that had so swiftly glided awav,
with the desire of mingling together in
the same enjoyment before bidding
adieu to our little town. We ac

by the manager to attend, and very
much regret our inability to do so.

We return our sincere thanks to the

On last Monday two men traveling
up the Cloverport road met two young
ladies, one the daughter of J. C. Bean
the other the daughter of Felix Rober-
son. 1 lie men stwKe to tnc young la
dies and then made insulting and out
rageous propositions to them, whereup
on they became alarmel and fled to
the school house near by where they
were attending school. It is not pos
itively known who they am, butcnough
has been found out to warrant the jus
tice of the district to issue a warrant of
arrest for two men, and we hope they
will bo secured and severely punished.
The outrage is one of the vilest and
meanest that can he conceived; no pun
ishment in the whole catalogue found
in the law books is too severe for men
that attempt to decoy innocent, intelli
gent, virtuous young girls from the
path of rectitude and accomplish their
ruin.

The Lock ami Dims.
Wc called the attention of our read
crs lat week to that old nuisance, the
lock and dam, on Rough creek, ami
suggested that all the able-bodied men
of this county meet there on Monday,
the 2oth of October, 175, and tear it
out. We suggested that J. L. Collins
boss the job. We have talked with
Mr. Collins since then, and he says
that he and Mr. R. A. Taylor will be
glad to help all they can, as leaders or
otherwise. Now, let everybody turn
out on that day and make a clean
sweep of it, and tear it out. Don't
wait for each other, but all go, and go
early, and work until the nuisance is
removed. It will be almost impossi
ble to float out any saw-logs, staves,
hoop-poles, or lumber this winter, un
less the dam is torn out before the high
water comes, for a drift will form there,
the like of which was never seen in old
Rough.

0:ir Fair.
The eleventh annual fair of the Ohio
County Agricultural and Mechanical
Association commenced Tuesday of last
week, and the first two days were poor
ly attended, but a greater amount of
stock was on the ground than has been
known for several fairs past. Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, the citizens
began to feel that a good time was go
ing on, and began to come in crowds
to witness the last ihrce day's proceed
ings. Ju-t compliments were passed
on the music, which was furnished by
the Elizabethtown brass band, and cv-
erybody seemed sorry to see them take
their leave, for the members were so
ciable, clever, nice gentlemen, and we
think they gained tho good wishes and
affections of many of our lair ones.
The following named persons compose
the band: Hugh M. Samuels, William
Rowden, George W. Rihn, John Eck
ard, Herman Christen, Ikio R. Sweets,
James M. Rihn, Charles T. Warren,
William Rihn, J. A. Coons, E. B.
Wintersmith, and Thos. B. Carter
Quite a number of visitors were
in attendencc, coming from all quar
ters, of which wc would like to
make personal mention, but space
forbids. Splendid order was enforced
during the entire fair, and intoxi
cated men were seldom seen. A
number of amusements were on the
ground, and everybody participated
to their utmost financial ability.
The fair was enjoyed by all, ami
wo extend a cordial invitation to
all to meet witli us again at the
next annual meeting ot this associa
tion.

Cromwell, Ky., Oct. 10,
The readers of the Herald arc in
formed that tho undersi'.'iicd has con
sented to keep them posted in regard
to the "doin3"in and about Cromwell.
He proposes to furnish such only as
he presumes they will appreciate, and
that in a manner characterized by
brevity and precision at least as
much of this as tho matter considered
will admit. He is himself fond of
hearing "much in a little" and will
judge hLs readers by himself, avoiding
verbosity and rcdiindcncies to such
extent as is consistent with clearness.
It is the hope, too, of the writer, that
in all his reports he may preserve the
amicable relations to his neighlwrs
and friends that he now sustains.
The mercantile business in Crom
well seems to lie on the increase,
Our merchants have all lately received
and put up largo stocks of goods, in
dicative of a greater circulation of
money and a stronger demand for va
rious articles of import. Our German
friends, Meudal & Kahn, have pur
chased the largest and be.-t assorted
lot of goods in the county.
Wc arc told that the u.a'arial dis
eases which have aflHctetl the people
here and els2wherc for some time, are

The Green River packet (Evansville

Cromwell. The Houston Coombs has

We learn from what we deem relia
ble authority that G. W. Russell, for
merly of this county, but more recent
ly of Daviess county, has been guilty
of the heinous offence of committing a
rape on a little, girl about nine years
old. He was arrested and brought
before the court, and ponding the ex
amination trial ho feigned sickness,
and the court adjourned the case from
Saturday until Monday. On Monday
proof was made that he was still sick
and confiucd to his bed, and the case
was continued until Saturday. On
Wednesday night he lit out, leaving
his father on his Iwnd for five hundred
dollars. Since this case came up, sev
eral other outrages of the same kind
have come to light against him. It is
supposed he has gone to Shelby county,
Ky., where ho originally came from
and where he has a sister living.
His property was advertised for sale,
and part of it sold on last Saturday,
but his creditors attache 1 and stopped
the sale.
A man that can deliberately and
wilfully commit such a deed is a devil,
a fiend incarnate, and would have to
repent before hewould be a fit subject
for the hottest hell ever preached up
by the most orthodox ministers. The
crime of rape on an infant, under
twelve years of age, is punishable with
death or confinement in the penitenti
ary for life. It is strange that the
court let him ofl'on bail. He ought to
have been placed in charge of an officer
under a strong guard, and kept safe
until his pretended sickness wcrjoftjand
not given a chance to escape until his
guilt or innocence was established to
the satisfaction of the court. As it is.he
is now at large, ready to prey on some
other poor innocent that he may chance
to get in his power.
OHicers of the law should be held to
a strict account for their negligence and
bungling. We do not know that any of
ficer was culpable in this case, but if wc
have heard the facts, it seems to us
that somebo.lv is guilty of laches.
We hope our exchanges will ham
Mr. G. W. Russell around, so tha
eventually he may be brought to jus
tice.
