The Old Age Of Lexington.

Nine miles from Frankford, on the
road to Lexington, stands one ofthe finest
and richest farms in Kentucky--that
owned BY Mr.. Alexander. On this superb
stock farm we saw 800 blooded horses,
ranging in rank from old Lexington, the
monarch of the turf, to the kittenish and
frisky yearling. Here also Mr.. Alexan-
der has collected 100000 worth of
cattle, comprising some Of the finest stock
in the world, and Keeping into the In
closure where the costly cattle were kept,
We saw one diminutiye heifer worth $27,

whose value seemed almost fabulous

Assassinatisn Of the Rev. w. c.
Msreau.

From the Wilkinson(Ga.) } Appeal. Z
Mr.. V. S. Joyner. of Oconae, sends us
the following particulars Of the assassina.
tion Of the Rev. William Moreau, of
Washington County, written by Mr.. Ii.
NJ. Fisher, one Of the Coroner's jury:
On the night of November 8, between
the hours Of 9 and 10 O'clock, the Rev.
W. C. Moreau was slot dead through a
glass window while sitting in rocking
chair by his 6reside reading a newspaper.
On one side of him sat his wife, and just
behind him was sitting little girl who
lived with them, and on bed in tue
room was lying asleep the little daughter
Of Mrs. Moreau. The murderer entered
the piazza, and stsalthily approaching tue
window, fred the fatal shot through one
Of the lower panes Of glass. The shot
broke the window, and struck the lamp,
putting it out, and then entered the body
Of Mr.. Moreau. .4
The escape OF Mrs. Moreau and the lit
tie girl was almost miraculous, as the shot
struck several objects in the room, and
glanciDg, came near the places where
they were sitting. Left IN total dark
ness by the breaking Of the lamp, Mrs.
NorAau and the girl fed to the negro quar-
ters, aud from thence to wagoner's camp
near By. and appealed to the wagoners to
come to their assistance she also sent a
negro OF to anaghbor. The news spread
rapidly. and the neighbors came in, and
the house was soon crowded with black
and white,
Steps were Immediately taken to arrest
the murderer. II had rained the day be-
fore, and the tracks made in approaching
and retired from the house were plainly
and distinctly marked on the moist earth,
and went from and to the cabin where
negro named Richard Aiken lived. A
jury was summoned, and the evidence
pointing to the negro, the jury decided
| that the Rev. w. c. Moreau came to his
death from shotgun wounds inflicted by
Richard Aiken. He was arrested and
lodged in the county Jail.
(Mr. Moreau was formerlya prominent
politician IN Indiana.

. FAIL Funerals.

For years these funerals hsvo been very
numerous aud very sad in many districts.
Beautiful young summer Sunday schools
have been laid to rest by supetintend ,nts
and teachers amid the lamentations of tho
children and young people, who felt that
they had needlessly lost good friend.
These sad deaths occur generally in
consequence Of bad colds. We do not
mean that the. scholars Lbecome disabled
by sickness, for this is just the season of
all the year when oursday schools are in
full blast. Tho bad colds we speak of
are taken by the teachers.i !The. do not
affect the body so mnch as they do tn.
spirit. Perhaps it would be better to
speak o. the disease as bad. colines
whichsa';es possession Of the leaders, and
paralyzcs their energies.
To all readers who have been accus.
toned to assist in conducting. these fall
funerals We earnestly say. "Dou't die
this year" You need not die, and surely
you are not willing to bury your school
alive. The sinking Of a ship with all on
board is scarcely greater disaster than
the disappearance Of living, working
school amid the waves Of worldlincss.
Let new life be infused into your school.
If some of its members must stop coming,
rally all those who can come. If your
school cannot be made bigger, see thst 1t
is made better at least, and thus you will
insure your future growth. If YOU will
persist in burying your school, by all
means appoint day OF humiliation on
the Sabbath following, and then you will
have speedy resurrection. and enter
upon winters work. Let us be done
with fall funerals Of Sunday,schools.-

is bliss, It's folly to be WISE" Shortly
after the marriage the usband pur-
chased farm in Scott county, and on
that farm the couple have lived ever
since, and several child rem have bless
ed their union.
Four weeks ago the first husband of
this woman arrived in Davenport, and
on making inquiries learned the history
Of his wife's marriage. Then he rode
out to see her. 1t was fortunate for
her that her leige lord was away from
home, for she was very much affected.
She told him that she supposed him
dead, and so married another, and CHI
ded him for neglecting her as he did.
He had long story to tell, the real
gist Of it being that he had determined
neAer to return until he became rich.
And here he was-rich! But his wife
was miserable in his presence and he
was miserable, too.
The end of the conference was, that
the first hu,band returned to Daven.
port to consult lawyer, and the end
of the consultation was that the hus-
band went to the wife and had another
long talk with her, and then the two
separated, never to meet again, for the
man determined to cross the ocean and
spend the balance of his days in Ger
many.
The day that he left the wife entered
her suit for divorce on the ground of
desertion; the notice was forthwith
served on the defendant, and he accept.
ed service. At the next term Of the
Circuit Court the defendants name will
be called, and there will be no respon e.
There will be default, and decree Of
of divorce granted. And may be the
wife will be married the second time to
the father of her children, and so re.
remain contented in the delightful home
in which she now lives in elegance and
comfort. .-Ddcenport, (Ioacd) Gazette.
