THE KENTUCKY HORROR.
Details Of the Fearful Death Of
the SCetts and Young PerkInssT

Buffalo, KY, June 2D Correspondence
of the Louisville Commercial.
! am about to .narrate to you ono of the
most heart.rending accidents that ever hap
.peued. About two miles distant, in
Greene county, oH the night of,2oth inst,
between the hours of 8 and ii o'clock,
the residence of Mr.. John d. Scott took
FIRE, and in a short time the whole bull
ding was wrapped in a solid sheet Of
flames. Mrs. Scott was the first to awake,
and springing from the bed, She gave the
alarm to her husband, and they, gathering
up their sleeping babes, ran out into the
yard and called to their da lighters up
stairs to get out. The Oldest daughter
hearing the cries of her parents, jumped
from her bed, and, calling to her sister
to follow, jumped from the second story
window to the ground and escaped with a
slight injury; but alas, her little sister
failed to follow and was burned into a
perfect coal. In the meantime Mr.. John
D. Scott ran back into the house, it is
supposed to save his money and papers,
and in 50 doing he rushed into the jaws of
death.
James Perkins, a hired man, who was
sleeping in another room of the house
never walked up, and he is also victim
to the fire fend. The house was two
story; log wall, weatnorboarded without
cellcd within. 1t was built on Limestone
wall some eighteen inches above the
earth's surface, with partition running
through the middle, with back porch
and kitchen in the rear. The fire is sup>
posed to have originated from pine box
of hot ashes that was left, through for
gettullness, on the back porch. When
the morning came, the charrod remains Of
Mr.. Scott, MS little daughter, and Per.
kins still lay roasting n the Ere, it being
too hot to rescue them; and to make il
still more horrifying, his agonized wife
and daughter, together with his little babes
yere'there mourning the loss Of their
beloved ones. But, thank God, they
have the sympathy of all the community
who, with cheerful hearts and willing
hands, will administer to their wants
As soon as The roriains could be taken
from the fire they were placed in cofns
for interment, and were buried in the
family cemetery the following Gay. Thus
ended one of the most awful accidents
that ever fell to our lot to chronicle, and
may we never be called on to witness such

Married people should treat each other
like lovers all their lives,then they would
be happy. Bickering and quarreliug
would soon break off love affairs conse.
quently, lovers indulge in such to only a
very limited extent. But some people
men and women both-when they have
once got married, think they may do just
as they please and it will make no differ
ence. They mako great mistake. II
causes all the difference in the world
Women should grow more devoted and
Gmep glpors fond after alpagl lag, If they
have the slightest idea Of being happy as
wives and husbands. It's losing sight Of
this Fundamental truth which leads to
hundreds of divorces. Yet many u man
will scold his wife who would never think
Of breathing harsh word to his sweet
heart; and many wife will be glum and
moroSe en- her husband S return who had
only smiles and words of cheer for him
when he was a suitor. How can such
people expect to be happy?

Virginia Wheat Crop.

From all sections of Southside Virginia
come the most melancholy tidings of the
falqre of tie wheat crop, in consequence
Of the ravages of the rust. Prince
George, Dinwiddie, and many other coun.
ties, it is feared, will not realize much
more than half the average crop. This
is the more to be ddplored in view of the
fact that many farmers had based their
operations almost entirely upon this cereal,
and its failure involve the most ruinous
consequences to Misunderstanding IRder.

The most fearful gale here since 1854,
occurred yesterday, beginning about day
light with a strong southeast wind. and
increasing in violence. until 9 O'Clock.
when it had become a hurricane. For a
full hour the gale was the most severe
ever known here. The tide was forced
up TO an unprecedented height, inundat-
ing the entire river front OF the city, dam
aging wharves, and in some instances.
sweeping away pier heads. The long
stone Sea wall, known as the battery. a
famous promenade resort. was laid in
ruins. aud public bathing house demol-
ished. The shipping generally escaped
serious damage. Some small craft were
wrecked, but large vessels only chafed.
Throughout the city, the effect OF the
gale is everywhere visible. Fences and
out buildings. were destroyed. branches
torn from trees, and during the storm the
sir was filled with slate and tin, stripped
from the roofs. making the streets i'm
passable. The massive brick walls of
the New Theatre just completed with the
exception of putting on the roof. and fran

to the full fury of the gale. were leveled
with the street. About noon the wind
shifted TO the west. moderating the vio-
lence Of the sea. Two houses are report

one life lost. The inmates OF the bathing
house were rescued with the greatest diff
ficully. 1t i probable that $500. 200. will
