Oar Fair.

The eleventh annual fair of the Ohio
County Agricultural and Mechanical
Association commenced Tuesday of last
week, and the first two days were poor
ly attended, but Il greater amount of
stock was on the ground than has been
known for several fairs past. Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, the citizens
began to feel that a good time was go
ing on, and began to come in crowds
to witness the last three days proceed
ings. Just compliments were passed
on the music, which was furnished by
the ElizabethtOwn brass band, and ev-
erybody seemed sorry to see them take
their leave, for the members were So
ciable, clever, nice gentlemen, and we
think they gained the good wishes and
affections of many of our fair ones.
The following named persons compose
the band: Hugh NJ. Samuels, William
Rowden, George w. Rim, John Eek
ard, Herman Christen, Ike r. Sweets,
James NJ. Rim, Charles T. Warren,
William Rim, j. a. COons, Z. b.
Wintersmith, and Thos. b. Carter
Quite number of visitors were
in attendance, coming from all quar-
tiers, of which we would like tC
make personal mention, but space
forbids. Splendid order was enforced
during the entire fair, and intoxi
Gated men were seldom seen. A
number of amusements were on the
ground, and everybody participated
to their utmost financial ability
The fair was enjoyed by all, ant
we extend q cordial invitation t.
all TO meet with lis again at the
next annual meeting of this associa
ton.

LETTER FROM CROMWELL.
CROMWELL, KY, Oct. 10.

CROMWELL, KY, Oct. 10.
The readers of the HERALD are in
formed that the undersigned has con-
scented to keep them posted in regard
to the ''doings' in and about Cromwell.
He proposes to furnish such only as
he presumes they will appreciate, and
that in manner characterized by
brevity and precision-at least as
much of this as the matter considered
will admit. He is himself fond of
hearing "much in little" and will
judge his readers by himself, avoiding
verbosity and redundencies to such
extent rs is consistent with clearness.
1t is the hope, too, Of the writer, that
in all his reports lie may preserve the
amicable relations to his neighbOrs
and friends that he now sustains.
The mercantile business in CrOm>
well seems to he on the increase,
Our merchants have all lately received
and put up large stocks Of goods, in
dicative Of greater circulation of
money and Il stronger demand for va
rious articles Of import. Our German
friends, Mendal & Kahn, have pur-
chased the largest and best assorte /
lot of goods in the county.
We are told that the naiarial dis
eases which have afflicted the people
here and elsewhere for some time, are
abating, and the general health is inn
proved. The physicians are still
much employed, however.
Mr.. Vile, Of town, has q grocery
house nearly completed. opposite
Leachs drug store.
We saw the other day a mule wear
ing yoke with the fender upwards.
1t was supposed the mule WAS dis
posed, as many of its kind, to &c
mpIer instead of over barriers.
No injurious freeze has yet occurred
i'll our neighborhood, although fro
has appeared on several occasions
The weather has been clear and pleas
ant for some days past, except Il few
= hours of clouds and light rain.

a Little Girl Outraged.

We learn from what we deem relia-
bic authority that G.. W. Russell, for
merly of this county, but more recent
" of Davies county, has been guilty
of the heinOus offence of committing a
rape on little girl about nine years
old. He was arrested and brought
before the court, and pending the ex-
animation trial he feigned sickness,
and the court adjourned the case from
Saturday until Monday. On Monday
proof was made that he was still sick
and confined to his bed, and the case
was continued until Saturday. On
Wednesday night he lit out, leaving
his father on his bond for FIVE hundred
dollars. Since this case came up, sew
eral other outrages of the same kind
have come to light against him. 1t is
supposed he has gone to Shelby county,
KY, where he originally came from
and where he has sister living.
His property was advertised for sale,
and part of it sold on last Saturday,
but his creditors attached and stopped
the sale.
A man that can deliberately and
wilfully commit such deed is a devil,
fiend incarnate, and would have to
repent before he would be a fit subject
for the hottest hell ever preached up
by the most orthodox ministers. The
crime of rape on an infant, under
twelve years of age, is punishable with
death or confinement in the penitenti-
airy for life. 1t is strange that the
court let him of'on bail. He ought to
have been placed in charge of an officer
under strong guard, and kept safe
until his pretended sickness were f,and
not given a chance to escape until his
guilt or innocence was established to
the satisfaction of the court. As it Is, he
is now at large, ready to prey on some
other poor innocent that he may chance
to get in his power.
Officers of the law should be held Il
strict account for their negligence and
bungling. We do not know that any of
ficer Wits culpable i'll this case, but if We
have heard the facts, it seems to u
that somebody is guilty of laches.
We hope our exchanges will hanc
Mr.. G.. W. Russell around, so tina
eventually he may be brought to jus
tice.

Dave Woodward, of color, who lives
down On4he LivermOre road. came here
to mill on Saturday of hast week.
He was detained late in get
ting his grist and had to gohOme in the
night. On the way three men over
took him, and stopped him on the road
near j. G. Chlm5arlaiIs, AMI would
not let him 90 on. He asked them to
let him go, as his family were sick and
he was anxious TO get home. They
refused, and finally he determined to
so on any how, and in trying to pass,
one of them shot him, inhicting flesh
wound in the arm. They then beat
him and t, umpel him around consider
erably, then let him go; butsoOn came
upon him again near Obed Chapman 5
and assaulted him severely. He got
away from them, and took refuge in
Chapman'S house. They snapped
their pistols at him again, and tried to
shoot his dog, after which they went
down the Livermore road. The negro
thinks he knows who they are, and
says they live in Mclean county.
They should be ferreted out and Sc
verely punished for such outrageous
conduct. The negro thinks they were
drinking some.

disappointed.

One day last week an old gentleman
from the northern portion of the
county-abOut twenty-five miles from
this place erode all the way to town to
see "pin back" thinking it was a
new feature added to the fair. But
when he was informed that it was Il
style of dress worn by the ladies, he
was heard muttering something like
this as he turned on his heel in disgust:
"Confound these 'ternal creters; the
next thing we hear of them doing will
be their wearing of 'britches' that but
ton up behind"
