ISLAND STATION, Mclean Co., Ky, !
May Goth, 1876. !
Editor Herald Since writing my
last correspondence, our town and
country has undergone considerable
change. Patterson & Bryant have
sold their entire stock of goods to j.
w. Eaton Il Co., thus we have but
one store again, but this is well stocked.
Patterson & Bryant will have many
warm friends, to regret their depart
ure, as their upright department as
citizens and merchants, has endeared
them to all who have been associated
with them.
Much corn has been planted in the
surrounding country, some has come
up and is looking well, but is needing
rain.
There is much complaint about the
probable scarcity of tobacco plants.
Some have lost ali, while others have
plenty. This is accounted for by the
important fact that plants sowed in the
woods are not troubled by the bugs.
l have lately heard of a novelty in the
way of keeping bugs off of plant-beds,
and if the plan is as good as it said to
be, the inventor deserves a patent.
But, as no patent has been applied for
as have heard of, 1 shall expose his
plan for the benefit of those who need
protection from the ravage Of this de-
structive bug. The plan is as follows:
Drive stake in the centre of the
bed, then take strong cord, of sufff-
Gent length to reach from the stake to
the edge Of the bed, and tie one end of
it to the stake, the other around a
gander's neck. The gander, day by
day in making attempt to free himself,
passes around the bed, dragging the
cord over Its entire surface in each cir
cult he makes. Thus the bugs are
scared off until the plants are out of
danger. Try the plan dear reader, it
will keep the geese out of mischief if
it does not save the plants. Feed the
ganders often, and but little at time,
Mr.. Editor, if your Grayson county
correspondent has ''seod ticks" for sale,
he might do we'll to bring them to this
county. He could at any rate ex-
change here for mosquitoes of such a
size that, not allowed to squall, would
pass for young turkeys (where people
had never seen either.)
Come down, bring your gun, Mr..
Editor, and we win spend few days
in hunting. We can hunt all day and
never once be tempted to- violate the
game law. Yours, etc.,

Serious Accident On the MaysViIIe
Railroad Yesterday-List of
Persons Injured, Etc.

Especial Dispatch to the Courier JOurnal.l
PARIS, KY, May ia very seri.
Gus accident occurred on the Maysville
railroad this afternoon about three
o'clock, near Millersburg. The north
ward-bound train was passing over the
bridge. The engine and baggage-car
passed over safely, but the ladies coach
was precipitated into the river, the
bridge breaking in the middle. The
bridge is a total wreck, and smashed
into pieces resembling cord-wood.
None of the attaches of the train
were injured, except J. I. Parker, who
had his arm broken.
Mrs. Herriet, of Paris, had a leg
broken.
Prot. Irvine, a music teacher, was
injured about the head.
The Rev. Mr.. Green, a colored
preacher, had both legs broken.
The Rev. Mr.. Taylor, a colored
preacher, had a leg broken.
Henry Pickerell, merchant of Car
Isle, was injured seriously.
John Wells, of Nicholas county, was
also injured.
None of the parties injured are ex-
pec:ed to die. The bridge had been
pronounced unsafe, and the managers
of the read were preparing to strength
en- it. The road has made arrange
ments whereby passengers and mail
will be transferred as formerly.

I.ouisyiIIc Letter.

Editor Herald 1T is with pleasure
read the call in the HERALD for a
reunion of the old Seventeenth Ken
lucky Regiment at Camp Galloway in
september next. \ year ago l wrote
20 Col. McHenry suggesting that We
should at some future time havea re-
union
Without SEINE unforeseen hinder
ance, / will attend the preliminary
neeting ON the first of July, and trust
We may he able to adopt some plan by
which the proposed gathering in Sep
tember will be eminently successful.
The members of the old regiment and
their friends should come together for
a jolly Misunderstanding. Many of them
had friends on the other side with
whom they are now living in affection
ale relations; it ~ but proper that
these should be invited 10 our meeting.
In fact this is the spirit that should
pcrvade the society of the whole coun-
try. Men who fought on the opposite
side in the late war, are now working
side by side in the field and workshop,
are practicing at the bar, have Joined
hands in the church, are brothers as
masOns, templars and CHANGERS, and
why should they not meet together on
such occasions as that in cOntempla-
tiOns 1t is proposed that we meet,
not to dicuss questions out of which
the war sprang, but to celebrate and
perpetuate the memories of events, be
they pleasant or be they sad, tina: &C.
CURED to us during the country's ter
rible affection. Let us meet in the
joys of the present, taking time only
to sOrrowfully unveil the sadness of
the past without discovering its ami
mosities.
1t is meet that We sing the glorious
deeds of our old regiment, but we
should remember that had we not had
foes worthy of us, those deeds had not
been worth the mention.
Then to Camp Galloway" in Sep
TENDER let us 60. Let us bear with
us hearts which, though steeled in
war, are moulded for peace.

From Hogs Falls.

HoGGs FAILS, May 10th 1876.
Now with the best of feelings few
words with you, while / am well pleas
ed with the HERALD and like the stand
you have taken on the Temperance
question, so far as alcoholic drinks are
concerned, may / not ask if there is
not other species of intemperance even
worse than drunkenness, of which you
have SAID but little, and that little all
on one side? If / recOllect right some
months back when our grand jury found
indictments against some bad women,
and got one or two of them in jail, /
think you spoke in their praise for try
ing to protect the morals of our coun-
try-now while 1 will not attempt to
justify women in acting wrong, l will
say this, if we had no bad men, we
would have no bad women, and if our
grand jury had discharged their duty,
have no doubt there would have been
ten men indicted for every women, but
there appears to be a disposition among
men to overlook the faults of men or
rather to look on their conduct as not.
so bad as women. Now I take a diff
ferent view Of the subject, as a great
many, | might say almost all the bad
women are made so by men, frequent
ly under promise of marriage. Then
what followsf Simply the poor girl is
Stunned by her own sex, las they would
shun a serpent while the smooth
tongued seOundrel is treated by both
men and women as though he had new
er committed crime in his life. Now
this is all wrong, and until we can
have something more like overland
ed justice, it is but little use to notice
the poor women. talked with Juror
who tried case and found her guilty,
and assessed the punishment of FIVE
hours imprisonment, after the woman
had laid in jail several months at a
heavy expense 10 to the county, said
he, 1 would have cleared her if I could,
but as / could not was for making the
punishment as light as possible, and
always will until the bad men are in
dicted to. Now / would like to see
you take hold of this subject and
handle it as | know you are capable Of
doing, try to educate the public to
more even handed Justice; it might
make you unpopular with a certain
class, but all honest men and women
would bless you for the effort, believing
as | do that il is time great effort
should be made on this subject for q
change in sentiment and practice. I
have taken the liberty to call your at
tention to it as l hope for the good of
the community. Yours truly,

Such a bill has passed both Houses,
and it will of course receive the appro-
val of the President. While, per-
haps, this concession by Congress, out
of respect for the exalted office of Gen.
of the Army, may be all right and
proper, it is severely criticized by
many who are curious to know why
an officer receiving nearly as much in
the way of salary as the President of
the United States himself, should be
singled out for the bestowal of valu-
able privilege which would never be
granted to citizen in the humble
walks of life. These carping critics
forget that the Good Book says, &" I'm
TO him that hath, more shall be given;
and from him who hath not, shall be
taken away even that which he hath"
1t would have been an exceedingly
difficult matter to accurately deter
mined the amount of duties on these
gems, as their value. has been estimat-
ed all the way from s25,000 to $780,
900. On the LIST of April, one year
ago, a city paper printed large and
circumstantial account of the stealing
of these diamonds the night previous,
and their prompt recovery by the de-
tectives. The article closed by saying
that they would that day be exhibited
at a prominent jewelry store on Penn
sylvania avenue, and the result was
that hundreds of people, including
many high in official position, visited
the store, and, to their intense disgust,
were reminded that it was "All Fools
Day." The diamonds were, of course,
lying in the Custom House vaults in
New York.
THE LETTER CARRIER SYSTEM.
People who are so unfortunate as to
reside in cities of less than 10000 in
habitants have reason to congratulate
themselves on the very decisive vote
in the House on Friday, by which
that clause in the report of the Com
mittee on Appropriations, limiting the
carrier system to cities of 10000 IN
habitants were rejected. Tie vote
was 125 to 80. 1t will be hardly pos
sibly to change the law on this subject
now. The mistake, if it was one, has
been made. and the people of small cit
les have enjoyed the privilege of free
delivery too long to give it up now,
without producing more general dis
satisfaction than the annual saving is
worth to the Treasury.
