PUBLIC LIBRARY OF KENTUCKY.
CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

The Trustees OF the Public Library Of Kentucky
and the management Of the Gin Concert announce
the postponemcnt OF the Fourth OH Concert un.
I'll Tuesday, the 3ist Of March next.
The public will readily understand the causes
which have made this posi-, ,poncmcnt necessary.
The financial panic, which has Tor the last two
months paralyrsd the business Of every section Of
this country and Of Europe, has prevented thou.
sands from investing In tickets. The epidemlcs
pervading almost tho entire South have cut OF n
large and available market. And, too, the pub.
ic' Judging from the effects Of these causes, have
expected a postponemcnt and have declined to
invest without more positive assurance Of the
drawing taking place on nxcd day.
All Interested desire fuli drawing, but for the
reasons just stated this could not be had on the
oiDeeembcr, OF but the short pos iponement now an.
nouneed will secure It.
The management has mot with unprecedented
success. Tho sales OF tickets, the proceeds Of
which have already been received, amount TO
ovsR MILLION DoLtARs, with number Of agcn.
e'es n ths country yet to hear from, and oil those
In Europe.
Thus drawing tscalinR the gifts one.halD
could be had now, but the management deem II
pest 10 have pOstpOnement anda fall drd uiHo.
rms postp6ncmcnt assures the sale Of all the
hesc' and A FULL DRAWING. That this de.
termination will meet with the appreciation Of
nearly every one interested Ia made apparent by
the very numerous letters received from every
section Of this country and the Canadas, asking
for postponemcnt. .
This action Of the management will work no
dctriment to any, but viii be for the good Of all
by II tho fortunate ticket-hoiders will receive
their giits IN JaH, while II will not affect those
who do not draw gins.
In making this announcement the management
emphdhcdiiy state that there shall BE- no further
po'iponsmcHi, and to this end all agents will be
impcratively required to close up and transmit
their accounts to this ONCE by the INST Of March

three little flat, blue colored curls,
which seemed to have been made and
put there under pressure of q ton to
the inch. She had no other hair OF

SHEEP AND Pres IN ORcHARDs.-The
best fruit-the eleanest, best grown and
least deformed fruit--I have seen is that
grown in orchards in which pigs or
sheep have been permitted to range for
O series of years up to the time the fruit
really begins to mature and drop. Tt is
astonishing what difference it makes
in the aggregate amount of perfect
specimens of apples, pears and Dlums
that hang on the trees. They destroy
innumerable insects. Those who admit
the pigs to the orchards ring or rim their
noses. They donot allow them to break
the sod by roofing. Thus they make
them watchful of every larva and insect
which appears on the surface, and COM
pei them to eat the stung fruit which
drops from the trees in the early part of
the season.
Sheep are more dangerous in an or
ehard than swine. They are more liable
to gnaw the bark from the trees, es-
pecially il young and the pasturage is
short. But, as a rule, thereis is little dam
age done. Here is one man who has
kept thirty handsome Southdowns in his
orchard this season, and not tree ia
injured nor can you find an apple on the
ground after ten o'clock in the morning
unless you happen to be under the tree
about the time it droops.- Moore's
Rural New Yorker.

INHERITANCE OF Vicious HABITS.
We find almost as effectual and con-
tinuous an intervention of heredity in
the transmissions of passions and senti-
ments of a very different order-those
which incline to vice. The liking for
strong drink, habits of debauch, a pas
sion for gambling, acquire in some per-
sons adegree of force which can be ac-
counted for only by some fatal
organic predisposition derived from
their ancestors. A lady with whom
was acquainted 2 says CANA Machado,
"and who possessed a large fortune,
was posed of a passion for gambling,
and passed whole nights at play; she
died young, of a pulmonary complaint.
Her eldest son, who was in APPEARANCE
the image Of his mother, had the same
passion for play. He died of consump-
ton, like his mother, and about the
same age. His daughter, who
him, inherited the same tastes, and died
young The heredity Of a disposition
for theft, rape, murder and suicide, has
been proved in several instances.
