SPRING LICK ITEMS.

SPRING LICK, Ky, April 20.
After an absence of three, weeks, we
again propose to indite few lines for the
columns of your paper, Since our last,
We have had nothing to transpire in our
midst to attract more than ordinary at
tention. or to prevent US from pursuing
the even tenor Ct our way. ..4. -.fs.t
AN ORIGINAL WEATHER REMARK.
The weather few days ago was indeed
pleasant and agreeable. The warm, ge-
NAL sunshine Of those few days wrought
a decided change in the vegetable kings
dom, but to>day the earth hereabouts is
carpeted not with green, but with the al
abaster snow. Truly it may be said now,
that "winter is lingering in the lap Of
spring" -. -
A GOOD SEASON FOR CANDIDATES.
Candidates for Magistrates and Com
stables are looming up, and the supply,
rom all appearances, will exceed the de-
mand. At this writing. We have seven
candidates for the office OF Constable, and
we were informed yesterday that there
were seven more who were prospecting,
but hadn't decided to offer themselves as
sacrifices on the political altar. ,... ..
THE LOCAL OPTION QUESTION, IT,
we are sorry to, say, is exciting but little
enthusiasm in this portion of the Caney-
vile precinct AS there is so little said
concerning il. il would be entirely speoula-
ton, in, us to attempt to foreshadow what
the result of the vote will be at the May
election. u l.'f .r,.f.e. ~ ,-
WANT TO GO TO FRANKFORT. F..-
The candidates for the more honorable
position, that Of Representative in the
next Legislature, are beginning to arrange
all their paraphernalia of political war;
fare for the contest. DIR. B. NJ Brandon,
the present Incumbent has made US a
good Representative, and we are sorry to
learn that he has emphatically declined
to make the race for reelection.
REGULATING THE OHIO COUNTY POLITICAL
CHANGERS
We are credibly informed that the
Changers of this county repudiste the ac-
ton Of the Ohio County Council OFF. of r..
in nominating candidate among the order
to make the race for the Legislature.
There will no doubt be candidate of the
order for the position in Grsyson. but we
think We are safe in saying he willnot be
brought out in the same way as was the
candidate in Ohio. ~. r-..E t,..
THE END OF THE RRNFRow SCANDAL.
Mention was made in preceding let
ter to the HERALD of a separation be-
tween husband and wife in this vicinity,
in which the wife was said to be in error,
for the reason that she had discarded the
affections OF her devoted husband and pre-
ferred those ola lad of fifteen summers.
After this separation, the wife and her
young Lothario visited several of her re-
lations in the neighborhood, when, +. she
soon learned that she was not a welcome
visitor, and again returned to her desert
ed home. Now it will be remembered
that this young lad was working for the
unfortunate husband at the time Of the
separation, and when she returned to her
husband, he, thinking itwould not be
healthy for him to enter the same roof,
sought employment elsewhere in the
same neighborhood. But the husband
and wife did not remain together long
when the recreant wife informed the hus-
band that her enjoyment with him alone
was inadequate and insufficient, and ir
order that the same might be increased
he must 60 and again employ the yonng
lad to work on the farm as of yore. To
this the unsuspecting husband assented
and again employed the ooung lover.
Thus the trio lived together, happily OIL
disagreeably deponent sayeth not, but al
the end of the third week, the discon.
tented wife went to the wronged husband
and told him if he would pay her in cur
rency her share in his estate she woulc
then leave this community. To this tn
husband also agreed, whereupon articles
of a final separation were drawn up ant
signed by both parties, and the money
paid over, and the next morning her good
were packed up and she and the COOL
were hauled to this station.
In few moments after her arrival q
the station, the train came along, AM
che took her final departure on sam'
The same morning the young lad boarde
: the same train at COTS Crossing, an
= where they have gone nonein this com
> munity are able to say. A.
