Poisoning Cows and other Stock
The Meanest Act Of the Season.

All communities have some few
mean men and women among their
population; but we doubt if any CON-
lnunity in the State can produce an
act of meanness to equal one that has
just occurred in New Albany. For
some time complaints have been made
that certain unknown parties were
engaged in poisoning dumb animals
in the lower part OF the city. All eff
forts to discover these parties have so
far proved unsuccessful. Not long
ago a valuable jack, belonging to
John Perry, was poisoned, and on
Thursday or Frid&y. pounded glass
was administered to fine COW, be-
longing to Mrs. Lee, who resides on
Lower Ninth SueeS, from the effects
of which she died.
We trust the police will do all In
their power to discover and bring to
speedy punishment the perpetrator or
perpetrators of these inhuman and
savage acts. a person who would
commit such crime would not hesi-
tate to murder or commit arson. and
is not safe person to be at large In
any community. We trust the police
will exercise such diligence in work.

Louisville, greensboro, Henderson
and PaduCah Railroad.

i A meeting of the friends of this
enterprise is to take place at Hardins-
burg on the third of November. OF
all the works of internal improve
ment engaging the attention of our
citizens, and affecting the future
growth and prosperity of louisville,
there are few, perhaps, of more vital
importance than tat contemplated rail-
road from Louisville, Hardinsburg,
Greensboro, Henderson and Morgan
field to point opposite Shawneetown,
Ills. This road will, when built, ira
verse the very richest agricultural
portion of Kentucky. The aggregate
assessment Of properly in the counties
outside Of Jefferson through which is
will pass is upward of thirty millions
of dollars, while its real selling value
can scarcely be less than three times
that amount. 1t is perfectly plain,
then, that, if the people along its
proposed route have the will,
they are abundantly able to build
this road without assistance from
any one, but Louisville can and
will help them. By branching the
road at or near HardinsbuTg, this
road can be made to intersect
the EIizabethtown and Paducah Road
about three miles beyond Hartford,
which will certainly be done if Ohio
! County will do what it is abundantly
able to do-vote four hundred thou
sand dollars in bonds to the proposed
road, which will pass through the
entire length Of the county and imme-
diately through Hartford. By the
construction of this road, Louisville
will permanently secure not only the
entire trade of the Green River coun-
try, but it will be in position to
enter into active competition for large
and valuable trade in Southern Hi
nois. The Owensboro and Russell
vile Railroad is now in course
of construction, and already a
line of railway is projected from
point opposite Greensboro, to
connect with the Ohio & Mississippi
Railroad to Cincinnati and st. Louis,
which, unless checkmated by the road
from Louisville to Greensboro, might
become a serious disadvantage to US.
It is to be hoped that our city and
Jefferson County will be fully repre-
scented at the Hardinsburgh meeting,
and that the people along the line
of the proposed road viii be fully
aroused to the Importance Of the@en-
terprise.-C Courier JOarRdL. 1854

The Great Gale in the East.

A correspondent of the Boston
Journal, at Calais, Maine, sends somo
interesting additional facts concern
ing the destruction caused by the
great storm of October 9Th, in that
section:
Out of 108 vessels. out on the coast
between Calais and Campobello, dis
lance of twenty five miles, only
eighteen were uniDjured, and large
portion of those disabled were badly
injured.
Eighty barns and twenty houses
were destroyed within four miles dis
lance Of st. Stephens, opposite Calais.
Only one wharf remains at PASSPORT.
At Lubec, opposite Eastport, four
churches were badly wrecked, and an
immense amount Of other property
destroyed.
The wild timber lands in Dennys-
vile and vicinity suffered extensively.
The loss to land owners is estimated
at 5000, of which amount Messrs.
L. w. Allen q Son lose about half,
or nearly $4,000. There were hum
dreds of acres so demolished that not
one tree IN ten stands, and still other
hundreds of the best pine timber in
the country. if not in the State. which
retains not one tree in a hundred
standing. The Lineolns, of Dennys-
vile, are also heavy losers. The
Lincolns and Aliens have timber
enough down to last all their saWmills
at least twelve years. But, after three
years, the timber will begin to injure
if not hauled or sawed.
