The Lexington (Ky.) Statesman says
We learn that the Ku Klux of Clark
county visited Judge Taylor, some
nights ago, and warned him that if he
did not keep his mouth shut" they
would take him out and whip him.
These Ku Klux, ft seems, had been
whipping negroes, and on one occasion
went across the river into Madison
county and whipped q Union soldier.
The Ku Klux charge Judge Taylor
with advising the negroes to band to-
gether and protect themselves or retail
ate. But the Judge gave no such advice.
He told them that they had no chance in
our State Courts with any prosecution
they might undertake, and that they
had not money enough to take the case
to the Federal Court, and therefore
there was nothing left them hut to sub
nit. The Ku Klux came in force to
the Judges house aud delivered the
note.
Gen. Wool left property valued at
$3.50, 900, which will be divided princi-
pally between his nephews and neices
Among his benefactiOns were S15, 200 to
Renssaller POLYTECHNIC and SIS, 900 to the
Troy Episcopal Orphan Asylum. He
added a cOdicil to his will few days be-
fore his death, setting aside $50 900 for a
monument to his wife and himself.

THE PEAK FAMILY BELL RINGERS
The announcement of the coming Of this
Justly celebrated troupe of artists will be
hailed with delight by our citizens
generally. For years this family has
been as familiar to amusement goers as
household words throughout the length
and breadth of our goodly land, and
their going and coming is like the visits
of old friends. We are certain that here
they will meet warm welcome. We
are partial to the music of the bells and
look forward to rich treat when their
silver tones shall awaken the memories
of lang syne when first we listened to
their rich melodies evoked by the fairy
touch of the then youthful members of
this gifted family. They will be at We'll

BURNED OUT AGAIN.-On Monday
night, Nov. l, the store of Baraet and
Shively, near Burton, West Virginia,
was burnt with a dwelling adjoining.
The loss on buildings and stock was be-
tween twelve and thirteen thousand dol
lars. The fire was the work of incendi-
the store.
The real property belonged to Enas
Barret and Israel Lewis, and the build
ings are now destroyed for the second
time, having been burned by an incen-
diary about two years ago. The loss is a
very severe one upon the parties. and
the scoundrels who perpetrated the
crime deserve determination.

Bellaire Locals.

BELLAIRE, Nov. l5. 1859.
Our neighbors of Benwood were shock
ed at dreadful accident that happened
in that village one day last week. A
child some four or five years ofa was
playing with some others in back yard,
building small ovens and putting fire in
them, when her clothes caught fire,
burning her horribly; she died in few
hours. Her parents names are Swan
The child was buried OH Saturday.
The growth and prosperity of Ben
wood must be fattering to the denizens
of that town-some dozen or more fine
houses have gone up, besides smaller
buildings. The Rolling and Nail Mill
there is a monster establishment, doing
an immense business. They have a
large quantity of nails on hand await
ing shipment by river.
The river has again got low, making
navigation difficult and tedious.
The workmen are actively at work on
the Piers. A few days more will place
them out of danger of floods.
Our business men, Notwithstanding
the inclement weather, seem to be very
actively engaged.
The Mechanics as yet are very busy.
Some parties are here to-day looking
after site for new Rolling and Nail
Mill, what may be the result is as yet
unknown, but the prospects are favor
able.
There is one feature in the conduct of
some of our business citizens that is wor-
thy of attention; man of good temper
ate habits, with small means, can buy a
lot and have building material furnish
ed him on payment of monthly or quar-
terly installments. A large number Of
our working men have availed them
selves of these privileges and are now
enjoying the luxury of living in their
own houses free of rent.
1 will be able in few days to give
you the number of new buildings erect
ed the past year, with their approximate
cost, and also some health statistics that
may be of interest to your readers.

WE learn from Mr.. OthoS Holloway,
of Flushing, that school matters are at a
very low ebb in that place. Their school
house is SO dilapidated that they can
have no school at all during the coming
winter. Many of the parents are unable
to send their children away to school,
and numerous complaints have arisen
from the ensuing neglect of the proper
authorities to provide comfortable
house in which to hold a winter term.
The School District embracing the town
of Flushing is wealthy, and contains
many families of culture, aud it israther
an anomaly to hear that they are so far
behind the age in the matter of school
houses.

We must refer in terms of eulogy to the high
tone and varied excellence of HARPER'S MAGA-
zINE-a journal with monthly circulation of
about 10000 copies-in whose pages are to be
found some of the choicest light and general
reading OF the day. We speak of this work as
an evidence OF the culture of the American peo-
pie; ana the popularity it has acquired is mer
tied. Each Number contains fully IN pages of
reading matter, appropriately illustrated with
good wool CUTS and it combines in itself the
racy monthly and the more philosophical quar-
terly, blended with the best features OF the dali
ly journal. 1t has great power in the dissemi-

RowDYIsM.-Two or three drunken
rowdies undertook to do as they pleased
on Tuesday evening. and succeeded in
endangering the lives of citisens by
firing their pistols through doors and
windows, and otherwise acting As black
guards and rowdies. When the Marshal
undertook to arrest them, he was inter-
ferred with by confederates or sympa-
hizers. and the really guilty parties
aided in their escape. Our citizens are
now reaping the legitimate fruits of the
Gazette's persistent attacks upon our
municipal authorities for their discharge
of duty, and the rowdies, encouraged by
its tacit endorsement and approval, are
about to take possession of the town.
If we are to have any safety for life or
property, it must be through full and
fearless enforcement of the law, and
every good citizen should stand by and
encourage those who are appointed to
e nforce it.
