HON. JAMES B. MCREARY

This distinguished gentleman arrived
In our town Thursday afternoon, and
remained with US until next day at
noon, not so much with electioneering
intent as to view the scenes of his faith
er's early manhood. Although a resi-
dent of Madison county, Col. McCREA-
RY comes ofgood old Ohio county stock.
Ohio has done much in the matter of
furnishing Kentucky with distinguish
ed sons and gifted daughters, and she
is not at all ashamed of the specimen
of the former presented in the person
of the subject of this article, whom,
though not 'native and to the manor
born" we may claiIn as one of our
county's grandchildren.
Col. MCCREARY is in the forties, of
medium height, full habit, dark hair
Showing threads of silver, beautifully
dark and expressive brown eyes, and
handsome face and presence. He is a
lawyer by profession, and is heldin high
esteem by the bar of his section; and
personally and socially he is ia vorite
with all classes and parties where he is
best known. A Democrat in politics,
he is not bigoted or fanatical in his
opinions. Possessed of high order of
intellect his judgment is evenly balanc-
ed, and so much under control that 1t
cannot be swayed this or that side by
partisan considerations. Quiet and I'M
assuming in manners and conversation,
he flvorably impresses every one with
whom he comes in contact. And bet
ter, almost, than all else, he is a sober
man. And that is the only character
of men to place in responsible office.
Col. MoCREARY has been entrusted
by his constituency with important po-
sitions, and he has ever performed the
duties delegated tohim to their supreme
satisfaction For eight sessions he has
represented Madison county in the Leg
stature, and for four sessions he filed
the importantand by no means sinecure
position of Speaker of the House of
Representatives, presiding over the de-
alterations of the body with dignity and
fairness, and displaying rare ability as
a presiding officer.
He is a candidate for the gubernato-
rial nomination. He is a man to be
trusted. He would make an excellent
Governor. He is a keen and logical
debater, a pleasant and entertaining
speaker, and would make a brilliant
and successful canvass. As Ohio has
no son of her own to put forward for
the Office, her Democracy could not do
better than to range themselves under
the banner of her sons son, who would
lead them calamity and glOriously to
certain and proud victory.

WITH wisediscrimination and hap
py conception of the eternal fitness OF
things, the editorof the Richmond Reg
lister calls upon CRADDocK of the Paris
True Kent.ckian to offer at the next
meeting of the Press Association a res
olution to abolish the dead-head bust
ness among Kentucky editors, and
promises to give the resolution his hear
test support. CRADDoOK will be dead
sure to do it. If there is but one edi-
tor in the wide, wide world who hates
the railroad free pass and hotel free
lodging denominations with a hatred Dor
dering on ferocity, CRADDoCK is that
solitary and identical individual.

indicating in the most vulgar terms his
intention to outrage her One of his com.
rades interftred in behalf of the young
lady, while another encouraged him. He
did not, however, accomplish his purpose.
The party were disguised, but were iden :
titled, both by positive and circumstancial
evidence, beyond any doubt. Massey
claimed to prove an alibi by the wife OF
Norris, who was indicted with him, but
the jury disregarded it, and the Supreme
Court sustained the verdict.

TIE Paris Kentluckian is mistaken
1t was not an old story revamped, but
q veritable occurrence. Nor did it oc-
cur in Louisville, but in Hopkinsville,
as we stated. And the gentleman who
experimental so successfully upon old
SORGHUM was a gallant Confederate
soldier, and is a gentleman of unim-
peachable veracity.

A correspondent at RockpOrt is anx-
ious to know what the rs" stands for
in Gen. WILLIAMS name. We are
gratifed to relieve his anxiety. 1t

strongest hold on future fame consists
in the fact that he is the inventor of a
molasses to which, with characteristic
egotism, he gave his middle name.

No wonder the mortality list is in
creasing so frightfully, when such jack
asses as DIR. OCTERLoNY, of the Louis
vile Medical School, occupy chairs in
our medical institutions. The young
doctors they prepare and hurl upon a
patient and unsuspecting people are no
more nor less than drummers for grave
wards.

The Wrong Side Of the Meridian.

On the down hill side of life, which an old
medical writer quantity terms the wrong
side of the meridian" when the functions
decay and the frame gradually bends under
the weight of years, the system requires TO

upon it. Innumcrable physical ailments
and iniTmities then press upon il to which
