Monday which had spun out fifteen
hundred yards of Coats thread in
its aerial fight and was scarcely
perceptible to the naked eye. An
eye with good clothes on, however,
would have been able to discover
its whereabouts.
DR.. MITCHELL, of the Presbyteri-
an Church, at this place, win soon
deliver a series of sermons devoted
to young men. We feel assured
that they viii prove instructive and
interesting.
Mr.. WILEY BECKHAM, a respected
citizen of this county, died of pneu-
monia, at his residence, five miles
south of Campbellsville, on Friday
last.
On the evening Of the 10Th inst.
the country four miles northwest
of Campbellsville was visited by
severe hail storm, which lasted for
about thirty minutes and caused
the people in that locality to ex-
claim by way Of salutation, "An

Tom LUNA, a colored Bean Brum-
mel, whose optics are as large as
the refulgent orb whose name he
bears, became infatuated with the
flowing bowl and paid his respects
to his tutelary divinity, Bacchus,
by singing about a quart of naked
whisky under his waistband, q few
days ago. This wholesome draught
at once changed LUNA to Luna tic
and also stirred up emotions in his
manly breast that were calculated
to raise a row. Whereupon the
Town Constable introduced him to
Esq'r ABERSArHY, when that anna
bic functionary in the name of the
law priced open the jaws of TOMS
pocket book and extracted there
from a healthy fine.
On Monday last, while a freight
train going north was passing Car
ter's cut, near this place, a man on
board by the name of JNo. Gun
NINGHA1I was fired at with pistol
by some party concealed on the
side of the road. The ball grazed
his right hip and inflicted slight
wound IT'S a pity that the would
be assassin cannot be discovered
and punished to the full extent of
the law.
We are indebted to our ever gen
reous friend PEARoY, the druggist,
for two vases of choice flowers, one
containing a superb Geranium and
the other a fragrant Heliotrope.
Our talented young friend, Mr.
E. 7. TALIAFERRo, viii deliver an
grafton at Culleoka on the End of
May, on which occasion there will
be a picnic and coronation of a
May Queen. The bellies of Maury
who may attend would do well to
prepare their hearts for an animated
palpitation.
A. S. AYAIETT, Constable of the
90 district, rendered his resignation
to County Court on Friday last
It was accepted.
Esq'r THos. S. FoGe presented
us with a hen egg Tuesday which
is certainly a monstrosity in that
line. It measures 3 inches in
length and 81 inches in circumfer-
encc one way and inches the 9th
er. The venerable fowl who pro-
duced this curiosity is, we are glad
to say, enjoying good health. May
her eggs, as well as her shadow,
never grow less.
LEWIS PATTERSON, a lineal de-
scendant of Ham or some other
niger, whose ancestral line goes
back to the time when absolute
black was the favorite color, became
impressed with the idea that a gen
uine drunk was necessary to his
happiness a few days ago. With
this impression firmly fastened up
on his mind, LEWIS at once pro-
ceeded to carry out his programme.
After dipping his husky beak into a
few glasses filed to the brim with
naked whisky, he concluded that a
shave was calculated to soothe his
perturbed spirit and smooth the
rugged outlines of his physiogno-
my. Walking into a barbar shop
with that nonchalence which is so
becoming to a darkey on a first
class drunk, he flung himself into
chair and ordered a sable knight Of
the razor to apply the lather and
remove the superfuous hairs from
his manly jaws. The tonsoriaI ar
