The Fruit Prospect.

The sudden change in the temperature Of
the atmosphere last Friday, and the heavy
frost that followed on Friday night, played
Hobbs" with the fruit in some localities in
this county. In the Walnut Flat neighbor-
hood, we learn that the fruit was only slightly
injured in spots, but in some places was not
injured a particle. On Dix river and Hang
ing Fork 1t was nearly all killed, only a few
high points escaping with slight injuries. In
Stanford and vicinity it was injured slightly.
On the highlands the peacte. were killed in
some places, but none of the large orchards
were injured to any great extent. Mr.. X. X.
Gentry, who resides on Hawkins's branch, a
few miles northwest of town, has very fine
young orchard situated on a hillside fronting
east; the fruit on the lower third Of it was all
killed, but that on the highlands escaped I'M
injured. The orchard on Haywood Joness
"highcstion" escaped as usual.

PostpOnement OF the Public L.
brary Gin Concert.

II will be seen by the announcement in our
advertising columns that the third gift con-
cert Of the Public Library Of Kentucky.
which was to have taken place on the sth Of
April, was postponed until July s. This
postponement has not been occasioned, as we
are advised by Governor Bramlette, BY the
small sale Of tickets; on the contrary, the
sales have been unusually large-much larger
than at either Of the preceding copcerts-so
large, indeed, that the time given by this post
ponement will enable Governor Bramlette To
dispose Of every ticket and insure full draw
ing without any reduction or scaling Of the
gifts, as has heretofore been the case. Gov.
b. sees his way so clearly that he announces
in the most positive and unequivocal Ian
gusge that the drawing will take place July
s, and that ii will be a full Que. The owner
Of the ticket drawing the capital gift will get
one hundred thousand dollars in greenbacks,
without any discount and so of all the other
gifts The money sufficient to pay all the
other gifts, five hundred thousand dollars in
greenbacks, ID already on deposit in the Farm
en- and Drovers Bank, set apart for the pay
ment of the gifts, and can be used for no
other purpose, as will be seen by the cashiers
certificate. With knowledge Of these facts
and wedonot hesitate to guarantee their scru.
Pulous fulfllment-there will be such de-
mand for the tickets now on hand that in all
probability not single one will be left for
sale weeks before the time Of drawing. There
never was fairer or more honorably -conduct-
ed enterprise before the public, and it has, as
il deserves, the entire confidence Of our peo-
pie. Il Is one Of those schemes in which the
purchasers of tickets feel the most positive
assurance that the drawing will be fair, for il
will be controlled by the most prominent and
distinguished citizens Of the city and State,
and those who draw gifts will be certain 10 get
the money the moment their tickets arc pre-
sented.

Tribute Of Respect.

The following resolutions were passed by
Lancaster Lodge, No. l0i, 7. and A. Y. NJ,
ON the death of Past Grand Master Lewis
Landrsm:
Our distinguished and much esteemed Bro
Their Lewis Landram, having been suddenly,
Sin the twinkling Of an eve" called hence by
the Grand Master of the Universe, we, his
Borrowing brethren, deeply deplore the loss of
him who was pre-eminent in his devotion to
the principles Of our Order by long life Of
unremitting energy in the cause Of Freema-
sonry, possessing in a rare degree mind sus-
ceptible to all its teachings, and being thor
oughly imbued with its preccpts, he manifested
his real and love for il 10 a remarkable de-
gree, having been continuously a member Of
the Order from the date Of his initiation in
1919, to the date Of his death, on the 18th Of
April, 1879. Nor was his faiihfulneus and
real unapprecisted. For many years he was
elected Master and presided over this Lodge,
and as still higher appreciation Of his serv-
ices, after having filed subordinate positions
in the Grand Lodge Of Kennucky, he was
duly elected and installed Grand Master Of
the State. He discharged with fidelity and
ability the duties Of the several positions in
which he was placed by his Masonic brethren.
Therefore be Il resolved
I. That in the death Of our Past Grand
Master Lewis Landram we have lost an emf
nent Mason and brother, thorough in all the
principal attributes Of Freemasonry, and that
We will long cherish his memory in our
hearts.
2. That his family have Lost devoted hus-
band and fond father, society good citizen,
and Masonry one Of its most devoted adhe-
rents.

This letter will be read with peculiar interest
by many Of our readers who are now upon
the shady side Of life, who love to look back
upon the halcyon days Of their youth and
vigorous manhood days colored Of the rose,
when chivalry was not merely name; when
the hospitality Of Kentuekians was a fact
when honesty and true worth were the pass

Kentuekisns were happy and prosperous then.

Henley, William shanks, james Davidson,

Of old Stanford. Such men as these earned
for Lincoln county the name she bears, and
