OUR RockPoRT LETTER.
RocKPosr, KY. May 10.

RoCKP09T, NY. May III.
Owing 10 a temporary suspension Of
operations in the stave factory here,
Rockport is not 80 lively as formerly.
Still it is improving more rapidly than
any place in my knowledge. ....
1t is destined to be one of the first bust
ness places in the Green river region. The
inexhausible supplies of timber, suitable
to all manufacturing purposes, the abun-
dance of coal, it's facilities for receiving
and shipping, render this its manifest
destiny. We have already stave facto-
ry, which will soon be again in full blast,
and there is now in course of erection a
foundry. l understand that a company
contemplate building here an extensive
Touring mill. We want q cooper's shop,
a wagon factory, and hub and spoke
mandatory. ..-.s .l..--..- --.. ..
We have a brand new doctor in our
town, in the person Of v. NJ. Taylor, NJ.
D. He is gentleman of easy manners,
aud is well read in his profession May
his sojourn among us be useful and pros
porous. --. .~

Another Fine Fleece.

We recently made note of the fleece Of
Mr.. W. D. Coleman, which we pro-
nounced magnificent On Monday Mr..
William Foster, residing near No Creek
Church, some two and half miles from
town. visited our Office and brought us
specimens Of wool he had sheared from
thirteen head of Cotswold sheep. One of
them was a lamb, whose fleece weighed
II pounds. With one exception the sheep
were all young, and the aggregated fleece
weighed l02 pounds. Mr.. Foster is rec,
ognized as the most successful sheep
breeder in this section, and his fiocks al.
ways bear off the blue ribbon from the
county fairs.

Our Circuit Court

Began its session on Monday last, and
will continue four weeks. The grand ju-
ry is composed OF the most solid and sub
stantial citizens Of the county, and will
no doubt discharge their duties faithfully,
and prove themselves a terror to law
breakers and evil doors.
The following is list Of the grand jury
as impanneled:
W. D. Coleman, George W. Clements,
Tobias MARROW. Martin Coleman, jas.
Farr, s. s. Render, Arch. Patterson, DR..
Thos. Massie, J. C. Bean, Charles Hooker.
Geo. A. Brown, J. C. Turns, Jna T..
Sutton. B. T. Iglehart, and Geo. Barnes.
Judge Stuart's charge to them was very
clear and explicit, 90 they cannot help
but understand their duty. He directed
them to indict any one who was wanted
as witness before them and was evading
or disobeying a summons. The attend.
ance on the court, 80 far, has been very
large.
The following lawyers from other coun-
ties are and have been in attendance:
Judge Geo. W. Williams and W. h.
Griffith, of Greensboro; Willie II. Wand,
of Morgantown; D. H. French, Of La
grange. ........ 3. t..+..t'
Hon. Joe. Haycraft reached here Mon
day evening, up to which time but little
had been done, except to organize; but or
yesterday business began in earnest.
The docket is crowded, and it is very
uncertain whether it can be gone through
with this term. .

"THE LOST MERCHANT"
He Bear DIS the Caneyville Lion I'm
His Den, and Hits Juno Spat or
Two.

BEAVER Dam. Ky, May ii.
Mr. EDIroR:-Mr. j. T. Ms kindness
was highly appreciated in warning me to
be careful about visiting Caneyville, but
believing that he was only testing, and
would not wage war on one SO much his
senior, concluded the other day to 60 up
and give him trial.
Well, i went, and on arriving found
quite a number Of my friends, who be-
slowed welcome smile and extended a
friendly greeting felt better Immediate
ly. and wendell my way to the house Of DR..
Brannon, that clever and polite, gentle
man, who knows how to entertain his
guests, and whose wife is one ofthe noblest
of woman.
The short time passed in the city was
one Of pleasure. IT'S delightful place
to visit, for all are kind, and seem to love
one anotheF.-- With feelings Of the great
est kindness, can only ask of the youth
full gentleman to paddle his own canoe"
for hope often to be there.
Well, when | returned, I noticed that.
Juno was endeavoring to to give publicity
to the world that had gone again. /
think be is the best reporter you have, for,
if he has nothing to write, he will write
anyhow. Is it any of his, or any other
persons, business where l 60? If were
a-mind to, could give you some idea of
his behavior, but he is young, and of lim>
tied experience, and don't like to expose
him. I'll only mention the fact that for
two long weeks he has, with double-bar>
relied shotgun, jealousy guarded the road
to waylay Lone Star man, whom he
heard was on his way to see his (Juno's y
sweetheart. All the harm / wish him Is
that he may catch the measles. And then
again, how in the world could his vision
be SO strong as to see me at this place the
Sunday afternoon that took the remark
able drive from your town, be being at the
same time seated by the side Of one OF
Hartfords charming young ladies, to
whom he was playing the devoted?
This is progressive age, and my opin-
ion is that Juno progresses remarkably
well for one Of his age. For his informa-
ton. l will say that the crops about Ca
NEVILLE are in prosperous condition
and everything grows SO well there that
as soon as possible, l intend to purchase
a farm and go to farming. and when you
come up. Mr.. Editor, I'll convince you
that it is very desirable location, and
besides, show you some beautiful girls.
For fear of intruding too much upor
your valuable space, 1 will close with manl
well-wishes for your prosperity,

FROM cANEYvILLE.
CANEYvILLE,. KY, May lC

CANEYvILLE, KY, May 10.
At last beautiful and balmy spring has
put in her appearance, and our farmers
welcome her with joy. Corn is being
planted rapidly in this section, and
though late as the spring is, a good crop
is expected in this vicinity.
The trial Of Peter Dawson and Charles
Carroll, for breaking into the depot at
this place in the winter, did not come be-
fore the court at Leitchfield, as we expec-
ted, but was put off until the October
term of the Grayson Circuit Court, on
account of three of the Commonwealth
witnesses not being present.
Our croquet lawn has again been re-
opened, and the club has purchased a
new set. The young gentlemen and Ia
dies of this place seem to enjoy them
selves to the fullest extent while engaged
in the exercise.
We notice that the card of ex-consta-
BILE Brown is still being published in the
Gravson County Herald We don't know,
but suppose he is offering himself for the
Office at the May election oflS77. 'H
The election in this district last Satur-
day was very exciting one; in fact. more

and Milligan being the cause. Brown
run. ahead until about FIVE o'clock in the
evening, when they tied, and the contest
then began in earnest. But at the close
of the polls. they showed Milligan had
two majority. J. N. Eskridge and Chas.
P. Cain were elected justices of the peace
and greatly to our disappointment, Loca
Option wac defeated A votes.
We are informed that Weaver, other

A dollar saved is dollar made. L
Rosenberg e. Bro, intend TO demonstrate
the truth of this to all who want to save
the dol ar, and who will visit their estab-
lishment for the purpose of learning how
it is done. They have received and open,
ed the largest andthe best goods everbrought
to this market: and. as they bought low
for cash, they do not intend to suffer
themselves to be undersold by any house
in the Green River country. All they
ask is a comparison Of their goods and
prices with those of ANY other man"
No trouble to show goods and answer
questions.
