An Objection 10 City Fashions

plump, pretty, and although "as pure
as snow, and as chaste as ice" seems 10

ties in the house that she was one OF
those "who seem not of the earth, but
vet are on IT," The husband was an
honest, ingenious chap, and teariully
yerdsnt in the ways Of the world, as
will be seen. The pair had been at the
house some twenty-four hours, when
the bridegroom walked up to the clerk,
and remarked,

"Well, thought I'd mention it, con-

think it strange in me cOmPlaining-I
never like to find fault, you know-but
we're kinder bothered, and don't hardly

are too dogoned polite for me! Though

The poor fellow was assured that the
"well. meaning" young men should not
annoy him any further with their polite
ness, and he retired, apparently much
gratifed.

Kentucky Gold Mines.
From the Frankfort Commonwealth.

From the Frankfort Commonwealth.
For some months past portion of
our citizens have been engaged in pros
pecting and testing the qualities and
character of n gold mine located in An
derson county, some two miles from
the Kentucky river. They have pa
tiently investigated its reported val
ues, the nature of 'he rock in which the
particles were found, the dip of the
strata, and every matter tending to
demonstrate its impracticabllity or It's
wealth. From the analyses made by
eminent scientific men, it appears to US
there are indications of gold IN paying
quantities. A discussion of the specific
question of the value of this mine
which has recently taken place between
a Professor Vaughn, of Cincinnati, and
its preprietors, has brought to light the
certificates of the several assayers who
have made tests of rocks from the
mines, some of which are very rich in
results.
These assays certainly demonstrate
the existence of gold and silver. The
next question is whether it is In paying
quantities. A certain amount OF capt.
tai must be raised to buy machluery,
crush the rock, and extract the precious
metal. The returns made must justify
this expenditure. The assays show
strong indications of favorable results
and further experiments are oaly neces'
sary to prove that we have a gold mine
of wonderful wealth at our very doors.
The skepticism Of old miners ana OF
scientific men as TO the existence OF
gold in paying quantities IN this NINE
arises mainly from the character OF for
on-limestone-in which the gold is
found. Gold is seldom found In the ter
tiary or silurian formation, and can only
exist there by some extraordinary effect
of nature. This seems to be the fact IN
this case. A slight tissure in the rock, as
large as thehand, whose sides were brok-
en- off and tested, marks the place where
experiment was first made on the dlscov-
cry of the presence of geld. A tunnel
was next drilled into the rock, nrst
horizontally and then downward. The
strata of limestone, which at first was
level, suddenly changed its angle to
sharp dip, indicating an upheaval at
some time, when the rock was in a
molten state. In all rock taken out,
gold was found in greater or lesser
quantities. Its presence there must
have resulted by injection while the
reck was yet subjected to intense heat,
and its particles displaced. The pres
ence of sand also aids this theory.

Washington cAicials, from Vice Presi-

There is force in Mr.. Browning's re-

Terrible Murder Of n Farmer Near
Marietta

Thomas A. T. Jett, of this township,
was murdered for his money last Satur-
day evening, on his farm about Ave
miles east Of town, on the Little Mus
kingum, just above Long Run.
He had been in town that day to pay
his taxes. He had considerable money
with him, probably S400 or perhaps
$500. He started home, and just at
dusk was seen at the Brick Church,
some two miles below his place. He
was q bachelor, and at the time there
was no family in his house, and he was
living alone. Sunday morning, a Ger
man woman who lives neighbor, went
to the house to carry him plate of
meat, and finding no one, went to the
stable door, which was swinging, and
there lay Mr.. Jett, across the passage at
the rear of the horse-stalls, with his
head in the second stall from the door.
She was alarmed, and without waiting
to examine, went for her husband, who
came, when he was discovered to be
dead and frozen stiff. His head was bad
ly beaten up, the back of the skull and
the forehead both broken in, also the
right cheek bone and jaw both broken,
besides there were severe cuts and
bruises, evidently done with some sort
of club; the bleeding was profuse.
DR.. S. d. Hart, Coroner, held an in
quest, and the Jury found that "the de-
ceased came to his death by violence at
the hands of some person unknown" to
the jury using "some heavy blunt weap-
on"
1t appears that when Mr.. Jett arrived
at the stable, Just after dark, he turned
his horses in; they went past their stalls,
and one of them was found next morn
ing with his bride still on, and said TO
be shivering with fright, as if from the
violence and the smell of the blood.
Doubtless the assassin was concealed IN
the stable, and as Mr.. Jett went into the
door he received the deadly blows. 1t
would seem as if tue murderer had laid
the dead body with the head at the foot
of the stall, to create the impression
that the violence had been done by the
horses heels.
A year and half ago, Mr.. Jett had
$40 stolen from his house, in the day
time, while he was out on his farm.
Since that, he had, as his friends say,
carried his money with him. lie was
seen to have a large roll of bank notes
in town, on the day of the murder. No
money could be found about the body
or the premises, after the murder, but
a purse was found in the house that was
not his. The perpetrator of the deed
mas not yet been discovered.
Mr.. Jett was a son of the late Deacon
Thomas Jett, was born here, and was
nearly fifty years of age.
p. S.-Simeon NJ. Devol and Lafay-
cite Lagrange Gan uncle of DevoPs,)
were arrested Tuesday evening, and
lodged in Jail that night, by Marshal
Darius Towsley and Constable l.. X.
Dutten, on the affidavit of Wesley I.
McKibben, brother-in-law of Mr.. Jett.
AS we 90 to press, they have not yet had
their examination, which will take
place before f. A. Wheeler, Esq. The

The Boston Posts correspondent con-
jures up another nice point in diploma
cy for Mr.. Seward, as follows:
The telegram announcing the hanging
of Frank Reno and Charles Anderson by
a mob at New Albany, Indiana, has oc:
casioned quite an excitement in official
circles here. The honor of the Govern
ment had been pledged to the Canadian
authorities for the protection of these
men, and for their safe return to Cana
da if not convicted after fair trial on
the charge of robbing Adams Express.
1t was only after this pledge had been
given that these men were surrendered
| to the United States under the provi-
sions of the Extradition Treaty. The
action of the mob in seizing and hang
ing these men, it is apprehended, will
seriously embarass the Cabinets at
Washington and Lsndon, and compli-
cate negotiations already pending. Al
ter returning from church to-day
Mr.. Seward paid his respects to Mr..
Thornton, and explained the violent
character of the proceedings in Indiana,
and gave the British ambassador every
assurance that the Government of the
Uuited States would do its whole duty
in the premises Mr.. Thornton bluntly
replied that he could not exactly per-
ceive what was to be done, since the
parties whose protection had been
guaranteed by the United States had al
ready been hanged in violation Of the
pledge.
