med with arti6cials, and spotless white
kids, which betrayed a very pretty
and delicate hand. Her face was shroud-

entered the Court room until she left
it.
In person Mrs. r. is not above the
medium height, is very erect and spight-

talentfor talking. She manifested con-
siderable interest in the proceedings

law, passed by the last Legislature, is a
mere nullity; that its provisions cannot

I'VE repeat again, our heartfelt sor-

yourselves as others see you:'
A friend has directed our attention to
q most singular and amusing mistake
made by our wise Legislators n.fram-
ing the late Liquor Law, which renders
the enactment almost entirely inopera-
tive, practically. Section first declares
it to be unlawful to sell liquor to be
drank on the premises. Section second
declares it to be unlawful to sell to a
minor. Section third forbids selling to
intoxicated persons or habitual drunk
ards. Section eighth fixes the penalty
for the violation of the law in these
words; For every violation of the pro-
visions of the first, second and third
sections of this act, every person SO Of
Tending shall forfeit and pay &c. In
consequence of the use of the conjunc-
ton and instead of orr it is necessa-
ry the offender shall have violated all
three Of the sections before he can be
punished at all!

GREAT SALE OF LOTS IN THE
TowNoF ASHLAND, KY.

THE Kentucky Iron. coal and Manu-
| featuring Company win make then
first sale of town lots in the town Of Ash
land, on WEDNESDAY, the 18th day
of June, next
Ashland is located in Greenup coun-
ty, Kentucky, Immediately on the Ohio
River, at the point where the Lexing
ton and Big Sandy Railroad, first strikes
the valley Of the Ohio, about FIVE miles
below the mouth of Big Sandy River.
The location is one of peculiar beauty,
and admirably adapted to the building
up of fine city. The river front is full
II three miles, and the width nearly a
mile. Natural terraces entirely above
the highest known floods, nearly equel
distant and parable with the river, run
through the whole bottom, rising in gen
tie succession above each other, and
serve as natural avenues which produce
a panorama of striking beauty. A
finer landing for steamers of the larg-
est class, at any stage of water, cannot
be found on the Ohio River.
Under a corps of competent engin-
eers, Ashland has been laid out with
reference to all the wants of large
city; with wide streets, and extensive
parks, squares for market places, schools,
churches, etc., and in fact with every
advantage which considerations of util-
ity or taste would suggest.
One great purpose OF the Company
is to aid and assist in building up Ash
land into large manufacturing town,
and to make it the seat and centre of
trade, which its centrel position with re-
gard to the great Iron and Coal region
of Kentucky and Ohio should and must
eventually command. The Company
already own about two thosand acres of
real estate, one half Of which is river
bottom, and the other consisting of Coal
and Iron lands of the best quality, out
of which they have resoved to make
the most liberal donations both of sites
and coal to respectable companies de-
sirous of engaging in manufacturing
There are two seems of bituminous coal
of superior quality, about 4 feet in
thickness each, so that great elements
of manufacturing can be furnished at
this point at the very cheapest rate,
which, together with being in the CEN
tire of the Pig Iron market, induces
the Company to believe that, at no
point can the manufacture of Iron in
its various departments be more success
fully prosecuted.
In the space of an ordinary advertise
ment, all of the advantages Of the po-
sition of Ashland, as great msnufac-
turing and commercial point cannot be
fully set forth, and the company are
therefore constrained at present to in
vite personal inspection, satisfied that
the strictest examination will only re-
dound to their great advantage.
In all sales of lots and donations Of
real estate the company have resolved
upon the incorporation of provisions in
the conveyances against the sale of
spirituous or intoxicating liquors.
The terms of sale will be, one third
cash in hand and the balance in two
equal payments at one and two years,
bearing interest from the day of sale.
A lithograph of the town as laid out
may be seen at the office of the COM
pany in Ashland, and at the principle
river points.
