death, and the ruin of time, have smitten
the old homestead, and now it stands in
the orchard solitary and desolate; the re-
mains of the old folks at home have long
since been carried to the city of the dead,
and the younger ones are scattered. The
steamer, meanwhile, is smoothly and
swiftly gliding down the river, and the
old Kentucky home, with its sad and
pleasant memories, is lost among the
trees.
About mile below, and also on the
Kentucky side, is another orchard and
large farm house. with front porch, fifty

looks badly from the river: several large
abandoned buildings are tumbling down,
and fire has destroyed two or three
more. But it is quite a pretty place, with
many fine residences, and about 1000 in
habitants. The railroad has left it out of
the line, so business is not remarkably
brisk. In the river, just here, is the Ris-
ing Sun sand bar, which is said to be the
most dangerous obstruction between Gin
clnnati and Louisville. Two steamers,
six fat boats loaded with coal, and raft
of saw logs, are stuck on the bar, as we
pass. A landing is difficult to make at
Rising Sun wharf on account of the rush
ing swiftness of the current, caused by the
sand bar; but we are soon ashore, and
crossing the river in the ferry skiff, we
walk, valise in hand, back to the house

congratulations and rejoicings of long ab-
sent friends and loved ones, this letter

Nor ALToGETHER UNExPECTED.-Ma-
nv. even among those that perused the
woodruff expose Of the Tilton-Beecher
scandal, have tried to reason themselves
into the belief of Beecher's innocence.
The compact between Tilton, Beecher
and Bowen, left all evidence dependent
upon the statement of woman of more
than questionable reputation, and this
was favorable to this wish. Though eY-
cry step in the progress of events seemed
to complicate the matter, noth'ng ap-
peared to warrant conclusions Inc
shrewder ones thought they could see
that this state of things would not have
an indefinite duration, and unless human
nature in all past time had belied itself,
that tripertite compact would be eveniu

,hrs intended to be covered up. could not
hut produce chatting and ranking, and
the feeling could not be relied upon, so It
has at length turned out that Tilton has
published a counterblast to the recent &C
ton of Plymouth Church and the Con-
gregational Council, by which he was re-
fused a hearing in defense of his conduct
in the Beecher case. Mr.. Tilton substan
tally cOrroborates the testimony of Wood
hull as to Mr.. Beccher's criminality. II
should be said that Tilton was under
strong iuducement to screen Beecher in
order to screen himself-or rather his fam
ily, and he has endeavored 10 do so, but
the goadings by DR.. Bacon, acting no
doubt under the representations and
friendship for Beecher, Of Tilton, could
not be borne, and the breaking of faith oy |

A DOUBLE RUNAWAY took place on
Main street on Monday afternoon last Dr.
Martins horse, hooked to a-sulkey, con-
ceived the notion OF a gentle run around
the block bounded by Centre, Park, Di-
vision and Main streets, and in passing up
Main came in collision with buggy be-
longing to John Thompson, of jefferson
in which was seated Charley Hall. This
started the Thompson horse on full run,
and taking to the sidewalk nearly in
front of Patterson's saloon, struck hub
off the Town s. Harbor line bus, and
threw Charley to the ground with consid-
cradle violence. After running the gaunt-
let between the telegraph pole and Car
Isle 6 Tylers awning, she took the street
again, all right side up. The field being
tolerably clear, the black mare put in
a very good gait until reaching the park.
Here, her cleverness in passing obstacles
seemed to leave her, as she brought up
against the first tree, wrecking the buggy
and stripping the harness. Charley got
off with some cuts about the head, but to
the wonder of every one, suffered no Sc
rious injury.
