STRAwBERRrEs.-The season is now ap.
preaching when the preparation oft the beds
for this delicious fruit must be attended to.
Tn this latitude August and September are
considered the most favorable months for
this purpose. Let any well bearing kind
beselected. Tastes in this respect differ.
But place your plants in bills about two
feet apart each way, in we'll manured
grounds. Cover them in the fall with a
slight mulching of straw or leaves, and
when spring arrives uncover them and
dress them gently. Keep the weeds and
grass down, and from time to time stir the
ground slightly. With but little attention
your crop will be sure, and an abundant har-
vest will amply repay you for your slight
labor. .....

A SEAsoNABLE REc1PE.-The following
recipe for making blackberry wine may be
of Interest hereabout ..- r. .sr ......
There is no wine equal to the black
berry when properly made, either in favor
or for medicinal purposes, and all persons
who can conveniently do 50 should manu-
facture enough for their own use every year
as II is invaluable in sickness as a tonic,
and nothing is better remedy for bowel
diseases. The following is the recipe -
Measure your berries and bruise them -
to every gallon adding one quart of water.
Let the mixture stand twenty -four hours,
stirring occasionally, then strain off the H.
gnor INTO cask, to every gallon adding
two pounds of sugar cork tight, and let it
stand till the following October, and you
will have wine ready for use, without fur
ther straining or boiling"

The Loss Of the Cuba.

The steamer Cuba, Captain Board
man, arrived here on Monday morn
ing, having a fine, large barge in tow,
agood freightan a fair lot OF passen-
gers. She remained at our wharf some
four or FIVE hours lischargingher Alex
andria freight and transferring the most
Of her cargo for above to her barge.
She started up about 4 o'clock P. NJ.
with her barge towed a stern and got
over the Lower falls with but little de-
tention. On reaching the foot of the
Upper Fails her lines were passed to
shore and all made fast preparatory TO
pulling over with her steam capstan.
She had been pulling over for several
hours, when between ten and eleven
o'clock that night, being nearly safely
over one of her boilers bursted doing
considerable damage, besides immedi-
ately setting the boat on fire. The pas
sencers and crew at once rushed for the
barge and cut her loose from the burn
ing boat. Then in less time than we
write it occurred one Of the most awful
grand and terrific scenes we ever wit
messed. There was considerable pow
der on the boat, which the fire reach
ing soon ignited, making grand long
FIRE, throwing innumerable materials
far in the air, then came the explosion,
Which was equal to hundreds of large
cannon, being heard and the concus-
sion felt for miles in the country. Ev-
cry building in the town was shaken
to its very foundation, the inmates
rushing out frantic with fear. This
scene was truly a heart rending one,
long to be remembered.
Her barge was safely landed midway
between the two Falls on this shore,
where most of the people on it landed
and came to Town. At the present
writing we cannot get fair account Of
the missing aud scalded. Some FIVE or
six are said to be missing, eight or ten
badly scalded and a few slightly injur-
ed. Most Of the injured are at the Ice
House where they are receiving due at
tention. The boat is total loss and
about one third Of her cago, the most
of it being safe on the barge. The
money and yaluables in the iron safe
are all lost. There was no insurance
on her. This loss falls heavily on
Captain Boadman, who has the sincere
sympathy of our citizens. ~

CoLD FACTS The irrepressible Colfax
said, in his recent speech, that the "South-
ern States repadiated the Constitutional
Amendment" Whereupon the New York
Herald retorts
"What had the reputation Of the South
ern States to do with it? If you heed
their reputation you admit their vitality
as States yet on the very heels Of that
admission law is made that denies their
vitality"
Very we'll put. Radical Republicanism
has got into tangle. The doctrine Of
States Rights will one day unravel the
Knot.

night Of the 9Th inst:
We, regret to state that we have not
perceived any abatement in the plague
during the past week, while the NOR
tally has largely increased. The
weather has been just the kind to pro-
pagate the disease and cause it to ter

clear off cold and wet, and kill those
who are down with it, and then turn
warm and develop new cases. We
have been living here upward Of four
teen years, and have never seen the
like before. There are actually not
enough well persons in the city, who
are disposed to nurse, to take proper
care Of the sick and dead. To procure
a regular nurse is out Of the question,
and the patient may consider himself
ID luck to have somebody to sit up with
him during the night. Every member
Of some family is down with it, while

HER LEGISLATURE DEMOCRATIC!!

Language fails to give vent to our
expression of joy. The grand old DEM
ocracy, the party thatneverf failed to save
the country when ON the brink of ruin,
that party under whose rule we were
always happy, prosperous and great
people, the party whose banner we al
ways followed in victory or defeat has
come to our rescue, the rescue of the
people, tho white people of this land,
and victory, a grand and triumphant
one, encircles it's proud and defiant ban
ners, "Wave Munich thy banners
wave"
New York the grand old. Empire
State has rushed into the democratic
phalanx with majority against the
Radicals and Mongrels estimated at
forty thousand. The city Of New
York has rolled up sixty thousand ma
|jority as her endorsement Of the demo-
cratic triumph! Minnesota, Kansas,
Wisconsin and Massachusetts also roll
up immense democratic gains. New
Jersey has gone democratic by 1000
majority, the democrats have also a
majority in the Legislature. Adams,
the Democratic candidate for Govern
or has 1900 majority in Boston, the
hub of creation and Mongrelisml The
Legislature of New York is also demo-
cratic, which insures the u. 5. Senator
ship to Gov. Seymour. In Minnesota
and Kansas negro suffrage is defeated
and badly. The vote in Wisconsin and
Minnesota is very close one, with the
chances decidedly democratic.

Suicide Of Judge Buckner.
PARTICULARS OF THE SAD EvENT.-LETTER
FROM THE DECEASED.
From the louisyille Courier.

5 L. ~ q
From the Louisville Courier.
& a special dispatch inthe Courier few
DAYS. ago, from Brandenburg, mentioned
the suicide of an aged and estimable gen.
tleman, Judge E. F. Buckner Letters by
yesterdays mail give us some particulars
Of the melancholy occurrence.
The deceased was a brother OF Colonel
Robert Buckner, formerly jailer Of Jeffer-
son county. He resided one time in Miss
issippi, but more recently in Texas. Dur
ing the war, like thousands Of Others in
health and fortune, and left in dependent
circumstances, at an advanced age. This
condition prayed continually upon his
mind and finally caused him to commit
suicide.
Judge Buckner came to Kentucky some
three months ago to see some relatives
in Meade county, and took boarding OF
the house of Mr.. Nathan Shrewsbury
near Brandenburg. His Health and spirits
instead of improving seemed to get gradu'
ally worse. His body and mind became
morbidly sensitive, and his unhappy moods
became frequent and long-continued.
On Tuesday morning last, about eight
o'clock, he took a shotgun belonging to
Mr.. Shrewsbury, and going into the woods
short distance from his boarding house
fixed the gunin some bushes, and with q
string attached to the trigger, fred it Off
The load passed through the upper part
of his head, tearing away a considerable
portion of the skull. He died almost Id
stantly.
In the trunk Of the deceased was found
letter, showing the generalization Of the
act, and giving his reasons for it. The fol
lowing is copy. The original is in oul
