SUDDEN DEATH.-The Cleveland papers re-
cord melancholy case Of sudden death. On
Monday night Miss Theodosa Smith, aged nine
teen, attended singing rehearsal by the choir
| OF Saint PauPs Church. At the close Of the
school one Of her companions, observing that
| she did not arise asked her if she was not going
home. She said she could not get up, adding
in laughing manner, that her foot was asleep.
She then made an attempt to rise, but instantly
fell back in her seat, and never spoke again
She was conveyed to her home, where in about
three hours she died.

| WoULD'T RIDE.-As the polite omnibus agent
of the Lexington and Louisville Railroad was
going through the ladies' car, checking baggage,
he asked very pretty young lady if she had
any baggage she wished taken to hotel. She
| replied, mo, SIR" The agent then asked her
If she would take bus. She instantly gave
him a sweet smile and replied, "No, air, am
not in bussing humor this evening" The
agent dropped his memorandum book, and re-
turning to the baggage car, said he felt unwel

Plant Treos.
We doubt of more profitable crop can be
planted by the farmer than that Of Trees, for in
many places they can be made to subserve 9TH
er uses than those Of timber or fuel. Belts of
them, for instance, may protect farms from the
effects OF violent winds, in pastures they be-
come a shade for cattle, and they may be plant
ed and will grow, nights, rainy days, Sundays
and ALL on land unfit for cultivation, Ii is
aearly tine to attend to this kind of Spring
work.
THREE MURDERERs HANGED At ONcE.-Hen-
rich Haas, Peter Smith and Joseph Lindsey |
were hanged at New Orleans on the 22d inst, |
having each been convicted of murder. They |
all confessed their crimes on the scaffold. The |
spectacle of this triple tragedy must have been |
most horrible.
The boiler Of the new war steamer building |
at Philadelphia weighs $4,000 pounds II was |
drawn to to the navy yard on Tuesday, by q |
string OF thirty-two horses and mules. The |
weight was great that the wheels of the
truck sank hub deep into the macadamzed road |
in the yard, and in the street outside crushed |
the paving stones like SO many cocoanuts.
At Democratic meeting in Chesterfield, Va.
the following was :,
Resolved, That, while we do not favor in
cumbencv without merit, the doctrine Of rota-
ton in office is doctrine alien to our people,
and 10 which, as Democrats, we are utterly and
unaterably opposed"
Otis Billiard, of Lowell, formerly nm officer in
the Boston Custom House, has testified, before
the Liquor Investigating Committee, that he
can make as good whisky as that which comes
from the State agency, for three cents gallon,
aud as good port-wine for twenty-five cents
The agent was anxious to know how, but the +
Committee objected to the question, as they
thought be already knew quite as much on that
branch OF the subject as was best.
LIFE IN KENrucKY.-The Louisville Courier,
Of the 21d, in recording the murder of Level. ,
lyn Bush, old citizen Of OusIey county,
says:
Thus we are compelled day by day to record
violent deaths in our State. Law seems to be !
a dead letter, Gnd men have become heir own
avengers. The pistol and the bowie-knife are i
rapidly becoming the rulers of the land. This i
s the fourth murder we have recorded this 4
nonth--that Of Thomas S. Lowe aud John i
Aldrich, at Hawesville, that Of James Hendren, 9
