predict for it as great popularity and as
large a sale as her previous work, "The
Household of Bouverie, which has been
pronounced by all the best writers and
critics in the country to be one of the best
and most remarkable works ever written.
1t has the great merit of arousing curiosi.
ty and keeping it alert, from the first to
the last line. There is great power OF
language in it, manifested not only in the
descriptive portions, and in rare images,
but in the happy epithet that often tells
the whole story. The plot is skilfully
conducted, and there is an earnestness in
the style that is charming. From the first
to the last chapter, the readers interest in
the story never for a moment flags. His

While at Rough Creek Springs last
week, we learned the particulars of for
est tragedy, which occurred on Thursday
night week, about five miles above the
Springs, and over the line in Breckenridge
county, one mile from the village of Com
stantine, which contains a very instruct
| i've moral for those who care to search it
out.
1t appears that a young man. aged
about twenty years. named Frank Not
tingham, had been harvesting that day
for Squire Duncan. When night came,
lie and a fellow ~laborer, a negro man,
started for a moonshine distillery, (Which
is being run in a hollow about a mile
from Constantine by two young men
named West and Hoskins). The night
was very dark. and neither OF the men
knew exactly their bearings in the dense
forest. At last they lost their way, and
stopped for consultation. The negro
wanted to go in one direction, while Not
tingham was positive the still lay in a
different one. Finally they discovered a
light far below them, which n. thought
was the distillery. Ill started off toward
the light. The negro advised him to
halt until they examined their present
surroundings, as he felt certain that he
knew about where they then were, and
was confident there was a cliff in front
and not far off. n. laughed at his timid-
ity, and calling to him to Come on
started again. He took but few steps
when he went over a cliff. The negro,
who followed him very cautiously, came
to the edge of the cliff, and fearing that
his companion had stepped off it, called
him by name several times, of course re-
ceiving no answer. Thoroughly alarmed
and anticipating the worst, he made his
way around the cliff, and to a neighbour
ing house, which Is occupied by a physi-
clan. Here he told what he feared had
happened. The physician took his Lam
tern, and conducted by the negro, went
to the bottom of the cliff, where they
found the unfortunate young man dead
enough, with his brains scattered around
him on the earth, and his neck broken.
He had fallen upon his head, and his
death was instantaneous. The cliff where
he had fallen over was measured by the
coroner's jury next day, and found to be
thirty-nine feet in height.

The CPODS.

We hear nothing but bad news from all
parts of the county. The oats crop may
be set down as one half lost. Wheat,
everywhere, is sprouting in the shock.
Some few farmers have threshed, but the
largest part Of the harvest is yet in the
field. We suppose, from all that we can
gather, that fully one-third of the crop
will be last Tobacco is beginning to
look fearful-what with frenching. scald
ing and willing. However, if we could
have nice weather for a week or ten days,
there would be fiattering outcome in to-
bacco yet 1t has rained nearly every
day since the LIST Of the month, and the
different watercourses have been almost
constantly at flood-height. Everything
planted on bottom and low lands has been
destroyed. Corn on the high lands ha:
grown a little too brash," but fine
weather for couple of weeks will make
it come out all right

FROM TAYLORTOWN.

TAYLoRTowN, KY, July %
EDITOR HERALD:-I have delayed some
time in writing in regard to the great
Taylor Barbecue, in order to find out the
general will of the Taylors in regard to
the affair. l made extensive inquiries,
and found them not only unanimous, but
enthusiastic in regard to said Barbecue
This feeling has changed to great extei t
since they have heard of the proposed
change from Sulphur Springs to Beaver
Dam, many declaring that they will have
nothing to do with it, The change of
time does not matter so much as the
change of place. Yet believe that there
will be a tolerably fair representation
from our neighborhood, Craylortown), l
trust everything can be arranged amicably,
and that there will be nothing to occur
that can cause any dissensions that will
in any way hinder the proposed reunion.
Let the parties who originated the scheme
pay no heed to any secular influence in
regard to the location of time or place,
but consult the general will 50 far as they
can learn it. And furthermore, | would
say to the Taylors, do not be too preju-
diced or decided in your views of this ar
rangement, but each and every one enter
into it with full purpose to make it a
grand holiday CT pleasure and recreation.
The project is something new and origi'
nal, and, in our opinion, much good might
result from it. If all the Taylors an(
their kin from this neighborhood were to
attend, the silence of utter desolation and
desertion would reign over the verdan
fields and beautiful homes of the rural in
habitants of Taylortown. None would b
left to tell where its peaceful population
had gone, for the Taylors and their rela
tons embrace the present population
almost entirely. In closing, we say al
hail to the project, which has our heart!

FREAKS OF THE WATERS.

FREAKS OF TIE WATERS.
l thought last week that | would have
no more rainy news to communicate for
a long while, but, sad to say, it has rained
again; the shower that fell on last We'd
nesday afternoon surpassed any that has
visited us for twelve months. The
bottoms were covered with several inches
of water; slaves stacked along the rail
road were carried considerable distance;
several small bridges were washed away;
an hundred dozen Of oats were carried off
from one farm; one man saw his wagon
carried down hill and then several hun
dred yards down the creek; and still an
other had over a hundred panels of fen
cling carried some distance mp the hill by
the terrible rush OF waters. Ii seemed
that in places two clouds would meet, and
the rain fell in torrents. 1t would seem
that rails being washed up hill is an eX~
aggeration but it can be authenticated.
INJURY To CROPS.
Rain has fallen almost every day since,
and there is no doubt but that the tObac-
co, which looked so flourt.hng ten days
ago is now seriously injured Wheat and
oats are represented as being greatly dam.
aged, and our heretofore bright prospects
for corn are blighted, as in most every
place it ia over-shooting itself This all
looks hard on we poor people, but, it may
be all for the better.
NEW sCuooL>HoUsE PROJECTED.
Considerable interest is being manifes-
ted in regard to building a new school,
house at this place. The proposition is,
for the Goshen and Liberty Oranges, the
Masons and Good Templars. and all per-
sons friendly to these orders and to the
cause Of education, to unite and erect a
substantial building, with school room
below, and hall above for the different
Orders to assemble in, and on suitable oc.
casions to be used by ministers of any de-
nomination. The advantages to be
gained by building Of this kind can be
readily perceived, and | trust those in
terested will commence without delay.
The cost will lie but small to each one,
and the building would be an ornament
to the town and country that we could
well be proad of; besides, the children
could be educated at home by able teach
ers, who would in a short while have I'M
der their instruction numbers from a dis
| lance.

FISH TRAP, Ohio Co, XIV =.
July, "a, 1875.


July, "a, 1875.
EDITOR HERALD:-The incessant rains
have damaged the corn and tobacco to
some extent on the uplands. Late corn il
very weedy, with no present prospect of
suitable weather for blowing, and the to-
baeco is ''frenching' badly, caused by so
much rain and cloudy weather. Tobacco
in the bottom lands along Rough Creek
is ruined, the devastation is complete.
Some farmers in this neighborhood plant
ed their entire crop in the bottoms, cons
sequently their prospects are gloomy in
the extreme. My tobacco was in the
bottoms, and was covered for several days
by FIVE feet Of water-not a single plant
of what was promising crop is now
standing.
Among the large corn growers in the
Rough Creek bottoms, Messrs James l..
Hamilton, John 2. Smith and Jacob
Weller have suffered largely. Though
corn will be cut short to some extent in
locations bordering on creeks, the amount
of acreage is double that of last year, and
no perceptible scarcity will be felt, as a
great amount Of Hungarian grass has
been sowed, which will be considerable
saving Of corn in the wintering of stock.
We have some beech mast on the lower
branches, which escaped the frost; this,
also. will prove a saving of corn.
Wheat has not proved to be so good as
last year, some crops being frozen and
drowned out, but greater amount has
been sowed, and the quantity viii, no
doubt, be greater, the quality as good,
though the prospect of saving it is bad.
This neighborhood, to a man, will vote
for Hooker. The Farmers candidate,
imbued with sound Democratic principles,
cannot help but be popular with the
masses, and his success is a fixed fact,
and we feel confident his talent and en-
orgies will be devoted to the interests Of
the rholc people. ALExANDEE.
