Two negro men, Aleck Montgomery and
Lewis King, engaged in digging a we'll in
the suburbs At town last Wednesday, made
II narrow escape from death by descending
into the well Immediately after an explos-
ion, before the poisonous gasses had escaped.
Montgomery frs, descended and become, in
an instant, powerless to escape when King
went 10 his relief but was also overcome
with the irrespirsbls gssses, and both were
in critical condition when assistance was
obtained for them. They were gotten out
Of the we'll with great difficulty. Mont.
gomery was first drawn up in a tub nearly
to the mouth Of the we'll, when he fell to
the bottom, distance Of some fifteen feet
Then il became necessary for some one to
descend into the well by means Of ladder
and bring him out. DIR. S. Z. Crag and T.
J. Atkins found themselves equal to the
emergency, and with the assistance Of
persons above with ropes, brought him up
safely. Both negroes have recovered from
the effects Of the gases, but Montgomery is
suffering from the fall he received.

to the editor Of this paper gives the most
catering promise Of the completeness and
beauty Of this third grand result of Louis
vile energy and enterprise. The Art Gal

brace many Of the greatest works Of Art in
this country. In the variety and general
display OF the features that make up an In
dustrial Exposition, We are promised an i'm
provement on the two previous seasons, and
are satisfied that the visitor will find him
self richly repaid by careful inspection Of
the thousands Of evidences Of mans invent
i've power, ingenuity and industry. The
Natural History and other scientific depart
ments will be Of the widest interest to stu
dents and lovers Of the curious in nature,
and in extent and variety, will be the larg-
eat ever exhibited. The railroads terminal
ing in Louisville, their connecting lines,
and all steamboat lines will reduce
their rates, and will extend IN
usual privileges to persons desir-
Gus Of visiting Louisville during the Expo
sition. The natural beauty Of Louisville
in September, the excellence and cheapness
Of her hotels, and the long dearth Of amuse-
ments in this part Of the country, will
prompt many 10 take a trip in which they
can combine both pleasure and profit.

VIZ attended the Richmond Fair on the
closing day friday, and arranged with a
friend to furnish us for publication list OF
premiums awarded; but for some cause we
have not received il. The crowd in attend.
ance on Friday was extremely large, and
good order prevailed Throughout, the day.
Some very fine ring- Of horse stock exhibi-
ted and in many Of them the composition
was quite spirited, and sometimes a.
many rs twenty entries for one prize, and
hence the day was quite exciting, especially
to those who have fondness for the horse
and what Kentuckian does not love horse
One Of the most intensity exciting rings Of
the day, TO Us, at least, was that FOR the
best saddle horse or mare Of any age, in
which there were twenty entries. The in
comparable saddle mare Of our countyman,
Lewis Jones, was the victor. We will re-
view the list Of awards next week. Thank
ing one and all Of the citizens Of Madison
who extended to us kind curtesies, we wish
the association abundant success in all their
future exhibitions.

The Last cir Concert Postponed.
The announcement Of the postponement Of
the last gift concert Of the Public Library
of Kentucky will not surprise the public,
In Governor Bramlette's card, published be
low, he gives reasons for il which will be
accepted without question by every one.
The management in this instance,
consulting the interests Of ticket-hold-
ers and those designing to become ticket
holders, have not waited until the last day
to make this announcement, but just AS
-oon M they became satisfied Of the necessi-
ty Of this postponement, have promptly
made the announcement. Ii is unnecesss-
~ to review the causes which have necessi-
tated this action, as they are fully recorded
in Governor Bramlettes card. The prompt
ness and frankness with which the public
have been made aware Of the intention Of
the manager will meet with the hearty
commentator Of every one and excite such
a new interest and confidence in the scheme
and the ability Of the manager to perform
what he promises, that there can be no
doubt that on the day specified the last
concert will be full one.
rosrroSEMESr LAsrGIFr CONCERTO CARD
To THE PUBLIC.
The announcement Of the postponenlent
OF the fifth and last concert Of the Public
Library Of Kentucky to the 30th Novem-
Der, am satisfied. will surprise a few and
disappoint none Of the friends and patrons
Of the enterprise. Indeed, any other
course would create dissatisfaction With a
precedent Of a postponement of each of the
four concerts which have already been Civ
en-, the public have very naturally and rea-
sonably expected that in this, by far the
largest scheme OF the series and the largest
ever offered To the world, the same course
would be followed, and there are thousands
all over the country who are only waiting
for the setting Of u certain fred day for the
drawing before sending in their orders. The
sale Of tickets 10 this date has been highly
satisfactory, and large drawing might be
had on the 3lst July, but, feeling that
short postponement would enable US to close
out the remainder Of the tickets and make
the drawing full one, we have adopted the
course which has evidently been snticips-
ted, and which must eyentuate most salts
factorily for all.
Now that the day Of the drawing is sbso-
lutely determined, there remains no further
occasion for delay, and would urge the
friends of the enterprise, who intend to
purchase tickets, 10 send in their orders, as
il will tax my office TO its utmost capacity
to accomplish all that is to be done in the
short time which remains for the sale of
tickets. TliOS. T.. BRAMLETTE,
