DISAPPOINTMENT.
Fourth Gift Concert
of Public Library of Kentucky
A Gard 70 the Public.

The Trustees OF the Public Library of Ken
lucky and the management of the Gift Con-
cert announce the postponement of the
Fourth Gift Concert until Tuesday, the Slst
of March next.
The public will readily understand the
causes which have made this postponement
necessary.
The financial panic, which has for the
last two months paralyzed the business of
every section of this country and of Europe,
has prevented thousands from investing in
tickets. The epidemics pervading almost
the entire South have cut off large and
available market. And, too, the public
judging from the efforts of these causes have
expected a postponement and have declin-
ed to invest without more positive assur-
ance of the drawing taking place on a fixed
day.
All interested desire a full drawing. but
for the reason Just stated this could not be
had on the 3D. of December, but the short
postponement now announced will secure
it.
The management has met with unprece-
denied success. The sales of tickets, the
proceeds of which have already been receiv-
ed, amount to over a MILLION DOLLARS,
with a number of agencies in this country
yet to hear from, and all others in Europe.
Thus a drawing Scaling the gifts one
half could be had now, but the manage
ment deem it best to have a postponement
and a full drotcinG.
This pOstponement assures the safe of all the
tickets and \ FULL DRAWING. That this
determination will meet with the approba-
ton of nearly every one interested is made
apparent by the very numerous letters re-
ceived from every section of this country
and the Canadas asking for a postpone
ment.
This action of the management Will work
no detriment to any but will be for the good
of all. By it the fortunate ticket-holder
will receive their gifts in full while it will
not effect those who do not draw gifts.
In making this announcement the man
agement emphaticaIy state hathere shall be no
further postpoHement, and to this end all agents
will be imperatively required to close up
and transmit their accounts to this Office by
the 2lst of March

We learn that certain lady of our &C
quaintance living at Memphis sent rich,
good milk to the city, such as she was in
the habit of having in Maury County.
Her market man, colored man, reported
that he could only get forty cents gallon.
She said to him, Why did you not tell
them it was ptpe milk, with no water or
chalk?' The next day he returned without
making any sale of his milk, and she ask
ed him why this was so. He said, Miss
f7T7s, | told them as you directed me to
say, that it was pure milk What said
they, pure milk? are you certain of that"

that-without either water or chalk.
