of the county in such matters is re-

fFrankfo-t 6Ky.3 Yeoman, August s6
We learn from Mr.. f. j. Settle. of this
county, who has been running a saw mill at
Sand Rifle. in Henry county, the particulars
of one of the saddest tragedies in connection
with the recent visitation of the cholera at
hatplace that has come within our knowledge.
AT the time of the first cholera panic at Sand
Rltfie, the Eddiugton family, consisting of
Mr.. and Mrs Eddington aud their four chil>

After a,short time, however. they returned
and took possession of their dwelling, which
is situated directly against the cliff in the yal-
ley of the Kentucky river, which is very mar.
row at this point. Within two or three DAYS
after returning, Miss Eddiugton, a young lady
of some seventeen or eighteen years, took the
cholera at 10 p. NJ. and died in four hours.
Her brother>inslaw. Mr.. Shelton, who waited
on her during her sickness and afterwards sat
up with the corpse. was taken the same day
and died within flew hours. Mr.. Eddineton's
son, young man of nineteen or twenty years,
with some difficulty obtained wagon and team
with which to convey the body of his dead
sister to the place of burial at Union Church,
sixty miles distant, having previously sent
forward o request TO some friends to have the
grave dug He was followed by his father
and mother and the two younger children in
huotheI Neillcie. On tueir ARRIVAL IN the VI.
cinity of the church they not only found that
the request to have the grave prepared had
been neglected, bu. the people residing there
refused to permit them to enter their houses.
The young man took the coffin containing hi,
sisters body to the church, aud, after de,
posting it therein repaired to the residence
of an uncle few miles off, hn. by the time
he arrived there he was so far gone with the
cholera that he died in few hours. Mr..
Eddington, with his wife and two children.
went short distance from the church to an
unoccupied house recently vacated by its own.
er for new one. BY this time all four were
sick with the fearful disease. but It is be.
lieved that soon after entering this unoccupied
house its owner came, abou. nine or ten o'clock
at night, with loaded shotgun and with
threats of instant death drove them out
They, too, were then compelled, sick nigh
unto death as they were, to seek shelter with
the dead body of the daughter in the church,
and there before daylight the next morning.
the two children died. Later some good
Samaritans from the neighborhood came for.

burial for their children took Mr.. and Mrs.
Eddington to their homes, where they finally
triumphed over the fell disease and were re-
stored to health.

Jefferson Davis. Who worked SO earnestly

Who at this day. when every other man in

erected the scaffold, and glutted their ven

any wonder that Mr.. Davis, with conscious
and defiant reotitude. is unwilling to fat.er
the politicians, and utter solemn lies of lip

Southern man and woman that the man whom
they once placed so high in their affections

DEATHS FROM IMPURE wArER.-A small
settlement called Needmore, on the line be-
tween Botetourt and Roanoke counties, has
lately been the scene of several deatbs of such
character as to induce the belief that they
resulted from poison. The locality was visi-
ted by scientific men, and the cause discoyS
cred to be the use of impure water. For la<
ziness to get their water from the springs
near by, the Inhabitants had been using water
from small holes dug in the ground near their
houses, where an impure milky or muddy
water gathers. The recent rains, have made
these pools doubly impure. by washing into
them filth from the hillsides on which most
of the cabins are built. The doctors have
forbidden the use of this water wholly. and
the inhabitants are now using pure, good wa.
ter from neighboring springs, and the disease
seems to be abating=Luneh. Hirafnian.
