The following lines were written by John

ever penned by that gifted young poet. twill

youthful poet was removed to Italy, where he
expired and the last sad words he whispered

SEDUCTION CASE IN KENTUcxY-AN

vile Courier, there was tried in the
Hardin Circuit Court, the case OF
Thomas Kelly vs. DR.. Thomas b
Greenly, for the seduction Of Miss Nal
vina Kelly. This case exhibited q gren,
degree Of interest from the fact that the
damages were laid at $4,000, and also
from the allegation that the seduction
was accomplished by administering to
Miss Kelly, cantharides. When shc
entered the court house. the Elizabeth
town Regisl,r reports quite an affecting
scene, having ensued. Overcome by
the novelty Of her position, and the terri
bic trial she was absut TO undergo. she
sank down, in an audible voice offered
up iervent petition 10 the Throne OF
trace, 10 stand by her in that hour Of
trial and difficulty. She then told her
tale OF woe in simple and unadorned
manner. The administering Of can,ha-
rides was abundantly proved, yet great
contrarIety OF opinion existed as TO
whether It would produce the effect al
charged. The trial continued from
Tu sday until Saturday, when the jury
returned verdict of $500 damages Tor
the plaintiff.

MORE BLUNDERING IN THE CoNvEN-
TioN BILL.-The blunder which we
noticed yesterday in the convention bill
Is not the only one. A blank in the bill
is left untitled, just as 1t was in the
original draft. In publishing the bill
yesterday we copied the section from
The old bill Of May last and filed the
blank, not supposing it possible that
men assuming the grave duties Of leg
islation could be guilty Of such gross
careleesness. The blank is in section
TO- which provides that the talloss
printed for voting on the amended con-
sllulion, shall lear upon one side the
words "constituton proposed by the
convention held at Providence, on the
day of December, 1858. "The blank
should have been filed with the word
t,relhh,t the date Of the proposed conven.
ton, so as to read "l,oeinh day Of De-
cember, A. d., 1883" but in the official
copy the blank remains, and in the
official publication in the Post Of yes,er-
day. There IS no remedy for these
bunders short Of another specicI ses-
sion but we suppose that the party
which con so easily override the mos,
solemn provisions Of the constitution
will not stand Tor an error or two in the
