CENTERTowN, May 10, '16.
: EDITOR HERALD-As nothing start
ling has occurred since my last writing,
| am almost as much at loss as friend
"Nemo." Corn is coming up well /;
oats look rather low for the time of
year, and tobacco plants are to a great
extent destroyed by the bugs. The
people in the vicinity of Point Pleas
ant report them nearly all gone. Mess.
Bishop and TichenOr, living on the
Hartford and Point Pleasant road Il
mile and half from Centertown, have
a fine prospect for plants. They will
have enough of sufficient size plants to
set five or six acres in about two weeks.
There was vagabond passing
through our neighborhood last week
who gave his name as Leigh, that pre-
tended to be in search of employment.
He was about fifty Or sixty years of
age, and seemed to be fit subject for
the poor house, or some other good
place. l think the authorities should
see to his case, and prevent his going
around frightening the women and
children.
Your Grayson correspondent raises
considerable objection to the grand jury
and comes out in hard terms, very de-
mandatory indeed, but fails to give
good reasons, only that they do nothing
and are an expense. l think grand
juries, where they do their duty, do
great good in hunting up crime that
would otherwise 60 UNPUBLISHED, and l
know of no substitute that would work
as well.
Oh! is it not awful, dismal, miserea-
BILE and horrible for Lamont to be
visited by snow storm in the month
OF May! 1t looks like a judgement
sent upon him, but may have been sent
down to kill the ticks. Burl's buzzard
might have gotten bait if he had at
tackled the right one, but the question
now is, did not Lamont partake of the
bait in the obituary trap set for him,
and thereby burn his fingers. In
writing names of poets, intended the
letters 7. and G. to represent one name
only, and they should not have been
separated by the comma. And l now
hereby ask Lamont, (if the "extent of
his ignorance" will not prevent hm, }
to tell us who was the author of that
immortal poem styled, "Elegy written
in a county church-yard." Who was
the man that indited his own epitaph,
Noble Butler or Marcus Wilson, can
tell? More anon,

Poetry aud Prose offspring.

The glories of spring time has ever
been a fayorite theme Of the poets. They
glow with rapture when describing how
"Spring unlocks the flowers to paint
the laughing SOIL" but forget that
death rides on every passing breeze, and
turks in every flower" Yes, the vernal
season however bright and beautiful it
may seen is fraught with perils to the
human race. In our climate it is the
most dangerous to health of any portion
Of the year. The sudden changes of the
weather produce Colds, Coughs, Catarrh,
Bronchitis, Rheumatism and Neuralgia,
while the poisonous exhalations arising
from the earth, induce deadly fevers. At
this perilous season the greatest care
should be exercised, and the SEVEN SEALS
OR GOLDEN WONDER, that speedy, certain
and effectual cure for all ailments brought
on by variable weather, or by inhaling
miasmatic vapors, should be kept where
it can be brought quickly into requisition.

and Jail of the county, and would state
that they find the roof of the Court

give it as their opinion that the me-

defective in many particulars, chief
among which is the inadequacy of the
supports of the main rafters, and that

Grand Jury have had skilled mechan-

Nav 9TH, 1876.

There has been periods in the histol y
of the world that were cool, but the
past few days has not been one of them.
The thermometer has ranged with a
considerable upward tendency, and
finally made Sunday afternoon the hot
test Of the season.
1t so CHANGED that a few of us took a
stroll, and on our return passed q house
consecrated to the Lord by our African
brethren-and, oh, my! what an odOr-
ferrous CD puff we inhaled!
Well, we have found 1.-THE red
headed woodpecker. The oldest citi-
zen of the town, Col. j. Nj. Doom, was
out gazing upon natures beautiful
scenes the other morning, and found
the above-named bird. had no idea
when all the Kentucky papers were
advertising for the lost red-headed
woodpecker, that it would be found in
this community. Nevertheless, the
Colonel has found it and will be ex-
hibited to the admiring public by appli-
cation tow. II. Barnes. Ho! We that
thirst for sight, come, and your adj
miration shall be satisfied l do not
mean that the Colonel is the oldest in
years of our inhabitants, for he is only
twenty-five years Old-the ladies say
but that he has resided longest inside
the corporate limits.
Mr.. VIM. Bennett, residing in two
miles of this place, had his barn burn
ed down on last Thursday morning,
containing about two thousand pounds
of tobacco, and fifty or sixty bushels
of corn, his entire crop of each. He
is poor man and the loss is sensibly
felt.
A heavy rain fell south of this place
Friday night, which will prove of great
benefit to the crops.
Five hundred barrels of salt were re-
ceived at this place last week-the
merchants sell it cheap.

The dinner and supper given by the

Methodist church were largely patron
sEed, and everything passed off quietly
and pleasantly. The receipts amount
ed to two hundred and thirty-three dol
lars, which, added to the amount re-
eeived from the plays several weeks
ago, makes a total of three hundred
and ffty-three dollars, which will aid
very materially toward the completion
of the church. We think great credit
