AND WALL PAPER,
Metallic Burial Basket.

The above engraving represents newlvi nven-
ted Burial Case, fashioned 10 accord with the
feelings Of the be eaved, and yet retaining all the
requisites Of an appropriate receptacle for the
dead. There is no reason why such recepta lie
should be made TO create. by its appearance, dis
agre cable sensations, II l. enough that should
be bereaved; and whatever tends TO soften or
make less keen the poignuncy Of ou' grief, COM
mends itself to our consideration. So much that
is repulsiye has been discarded In the arrangement
and shape of the above Case, that its name, the
Casket Burial Case, is an involuntary suggestion.
l. therefore, do not hesitate TO aver that theIe has
never been in use any thing SO entirely chasie,
appropriate, and withal convenient as this inven-
ton. Besides this, the Cases being Air Tight,
contsgion is prevented, and the process of de-
composition is often arrested for long time
In any case where IL Is desirable TO preserve the
body Of deceased friend for a considerable time,
OF TO transport the same to dist ant place for
| sepulchre, they are invaluable. II is a well
known fact that many Of the Railroad Compa-
MES at the West, refuse TO transport body. un-
! less placed in Metallic Case. The engraving
gives but general idea Of the outline aud shape Of
! the Case Enough, however, can be gathered
| from 1t TO form tolerable conception of its
! proportions and general appearance. The skill
and simplicity of finish which IL embodies, can
be appreciated only as seen in the Case Itself
/ The Case permits view Of the entire body after
it is enclosed, the top being composed of beautiful
french plate glass, sufficiently strong to resist
any Internal or external pressure. The glass is
divided into three sections, between two of which
is inserted the name-pate. For each of these
sections of glass there is an deliberately ornamen-
| ted cap, one of which may be seen Ia its place in
the engraving. During the funeral services one
or more Of these caps may be kept on. or not, as
desired The Casket is perfectly air. tight, com

The Circuit Judgeship.

To the Electors Of the FIFTH Judicial District:
The undersigned. members of the late
Constitutional Convention, from the various
counties composing the Fifth Judicial Dis
tact las, defined by the State Constitution,
ake the liberty of recommending to you Mr
A. I. BAKER, of Breckinridge county, as a
proper person for the Office of Circuit Judge,
Tor this (the fifth judicial District. The
reasons which led to this unusual step
are these: The District is very large one,
and it would require several days time for
Delegates from the remote counties to attend
a District Convention nominations for
Senator, Representatives, Delegates 70 the
State Convention, and County officers, will
nave to be made previous TO the election on
Tue third Tuesday of May next, il the various
counties, and the addition of District Con-
'entlon would be sroe tax upon the peo-
PIE; and for the above reasons such Con-
sent'on would not. in ali probability, be at
tenoed by one-half the counties. This is
uone without any assumption of authority
on our part, and of course is not binding
upon any persons but ourselves; and if the
sOmmittess Of the various counties see PRO-
PEI 70 call q District Nominating Conven-

entered 10 the cases of Holmes and Taylor,
and Bell was acquitted from some legal
technicality in the making out of warrants,

there can be no law for such cases we
