COMMUNICATION


CHRISTIAN COUNTY KENTUCKY FAIR.
70 he Editor of Tie U;zicn and Aaierican:
Through the medium of your widely circulated
paper, we feeling great intsrest in the improvement
Il the stock Of this part Of Kentucky wish to make
known the fact that the first annual meeting of the
Christian County Agricultural and Mechanical AS
ISOLATION viii be held near Hopkinsville, on the 2lst
22d, 2sd oath days Of October 1857.
The object Of such an Association is wen known
to be general Improvement of stock and Agricultur
al Implements, as well as to give reputation and
high standing stock rasers and mechanics to those
who have given their attention to either of these
branches of industry.
Christian County, in its wealth and agricultural
products is well known to stand among the first in
the United States, but that spirit of improvement
which has been manifested throughout the United
States in the last few years has only recently infus
ed itself among citizens. Now, that the coruu-
9Opia Of wealth has opened upon US oOpOus showers
Of its gttering store, are unwilling to lay be-
hind the balance of mankind, and still labor and
toll for an accumulation Of more than we know how
to dispose of. Many of us wish to invest portion
Of our surplus funds in fine stock, and for the pur
pose of having a market near us, this association
has been formed
We cannot boast of having much stock among US
that can be called fine thorough bred, and to in
duee competition have offered list of premiums
which we hope win affect that object
The fair grounds are the finest, best arranged
and most comfortable in Kentucky, having recently
been completed at a cost of about $4,000 Tn
grounds adjacent to the amphitheatre have pleasan
promenades, cottages gardens and cisterns, an,
present everything for comfort that could be desr
cd.
Besides soliciting the competitor of the stocl
raisers and Mechanics in the vicinity Of Nashvill
and in Tennessee, We present the inducement of
fine market for sale of stock, which is certainly
moving consideration to those expanding large sum
in the importation and improvement of stock, an
their genius in the invention and improvement q
machinery.
We viii anticipate and prepare for large tur
out from Tennessee in general, and particular
from Nashville. CHRISTIAN.

KILLED
1t becomes our painful duty to record the particu.
lars Of desperate encounter, in the upper part Of
this county, by which six persons came to a sudden
and violent death. The circumstances as related
to US, seem to be as follows:
At n settlement called the Honey Gall, about Z
miles from this place, family by the name of Horns
by, has for many years resided. The old man bore
bad character; and has for long time been sus.
peoted Of killing the stock of those in the settle
ment. One attempt, if no more, was made to indct
him, but failed. The community, feeling him to be
nuisance that could 10 longer be tolerated and
which they could not abate through the courts de-
termined to take the law in their own hands Horns.
by was waited upon and told he must leave the
county. He was at the same time informed that if
he left peaceably, he might price what he could not
conveniently carry with him and the citizens would
pay him for it, and also pay his expenses
He accepted the proposition, and Tuesday was the
day fixed for his departure. On the morning of that
day party Of eighteen assembled to see the ar
rangement carried out. In order that there might
be no show of violence, unless rendered necessary,
Dr. Furman, (who stood in neutral position between
the two parties and was unarmed, was requested to
60 in advance of the party and inform Hornsby that
the money was ready for him. DR.. f rode up TO the
house, and inquired of Hornsby's wife, who was in
the piazza, if the old man in. She replied she
believed he was, and just then the door opened, a
gun was discharged, and the Dr. horse was killed
ing of his ankle by the horse falling on it, TIVE Mr.
kadclitfs and Mr. hump had followed the Doctor and
stopped little distance from the house.
The next discharge was at them, killing the elder
MIR. Radcliffe and Mr.. Rump, and MORALLY wound
ing young Radcliffe. The latter crept TO a stump
near by, and seeing through some grape vines that
screened him, the feet of persons standing in the
doorway of the house, managed to raise his gun
and discharged both barrels at once, which killed old
Mr.. HOrnsby, his wife, and AN infant in her arms
Mr.. Nay then came up, picked up the gun of Mr.
Rump-at the same time young Hornsby presented
himself at the door, and brought down his gun to
level. Though cautioned not to fire, he did So but
missed Mr.. Nj. and started to rum when May returned
the fire, severely wounding him. A man by the
name Of HOrnsby, from Darien, was with the party
in the house, but escaped. The two brothers Of
Mrs. Rump pursued Hornsby, took him, and turned
him to Sheriff Wright.
Mrs. Rump rendered quite deliriOus with an
guish by this sudden sfliction.
1t is due to the parties engaged in this movement
to state that had the sanction of the entire settle
ment, and the gentlemen whose lives have been sac
rliced, bore unbemished characters. The fact that
The community were willing to put Hornsby in q
condition to remove untrammelled, is evidence that
they were not acting from capricous motives nor in
a spirit Of oppression Brunswick Herald.

CHANGING STEAMERS NAMES.

The law which forbade change in the name of
any vessel owned in the United States without the
authority Of a special act of Congress- should not
have been repealed. A vessel becomes known for
its good bad qualities, and its ideny should new
er be lost or concealed. By the act of March g.
1885, the Secretary Of the Treasury is authorized
to permit the owner or owners of any vessel to
change the name of the same, when, in his opinion
there shall be sufficient cause for doing and he
may establish such rules and regulations as he shall
deem proper for that purpose" A vessel which has
become unworthy and unsafe, and is known to be
So may be disguised by this easy mode of changing
her name, and passengers may thus be allured to
take passage in her, only to find grave in the pitt
less sea, should storm oyertake her. That the Gu
pdity of man will allow him to send a vessel to Sea-
which he knows to be unsafe, may seem too mons
trous for belief, but it is nevertheless true In the
storm of the 18th instant, the only steamers which
unable to weather it were two which were sail
ing under new names, and they were lost. The
others, although much beaten and injured, brought
their passengers and csrgoes safely into port The
steamer Norfolk which foundered in Chesapeake
bay, was the Penobseot. She first ran between
Boston and Bangor, and having been much used and
worn, she came to the Delaware river and was put
on the line between Philadelphia and New York
Several years service in that trade did not improve
her, and her name being changed, she was running
between this city and Norfolk when she encountered
the storm and went down A merciful Providence
permitted the lives of all on board to be saved
The Inflated Central America was the George Law
She was not an old vessel having been built we be-
heve, in 1858; but she was not liked by those who
sailed in her, and many who had made one voyage
in her would not trust her again The Rev DR.. Hap
persett of the Secretaries Of the Board of Do
nestle Missions Of the Presbyterian church, sent
message home that he should leave California on a
certain day, provided the George Law was not the
connecting steamer on this side of the line
The George Law was the connecting steamer, but
disguised as the Central America Whether in igno.
rance of this cheat, DR.. Happersett has thus been
aured to his DEATH his friends have not been able
to learn, but they are in much anxiety about him.
Let suspicion attach to all vessels particular steam
ers that change their names; and let the old law,
which rendered act of Congress obligatory, be
put in force again. Press.
