is causing trouble. A few days ago a
man refused to pay his toll at the Ger
rolville gate, in Anderson township. The
gate-keeper closed the gate on him,
whereupon the traveller deliberately and
forcibly removed the gate and passed
through. A warrant has been issued
for him, and the case will be tried before
Squire Van Rensselaer, In a few days.
The company pronounce the law un-
constitutional, and claim the right to
collect the old rates of toll until the new
law is decided constitutional.

A mass meeting of tine Sunday-school
attached to the Main street Christia n
Church was held on last Sunday after
noon. A heavy rain fell at the time,
which prevented many of the pupils and
friends from attending. The exercises,
however, were quite interesting, as they
are always in the presence of innocence.

able. Brother McGaryey delivered an

A colored man named Stephen Green,
residing on Spring street, purchased
some bedbug poison few evenings ago,
and was told to put it in the cracks of
the bedstead. On his way home he rea-
soned that it was he and not the cracks
that the bugs were biting, and concluded
to rub the poison on his own body. He
suffered burning pain all night. When
daylight came he was much relieved on
finding shoyelfuls OF dead bugs along
side of him in the bed. He repeated the
experiment until all the bugs in the
house died of the poison.

school is much felt by members of that
denomination, some OF whom are COM
PEELED to send their sons away to be ed
ucated. This is loss to them and to
our citizens, as 1t helps to enrich other
places at our expense. The wealthy
Catholics of Lexington should make d
move to have school worthy of admirai
tion established in this city.
