WHEN we fret heard of the "show-
or of flesh" near Mt. Sterling, we
cherished the fond hope that some
modern Guy Fawkcs had been opera
ting with powder in the basement of
the State Capitol, and that the myste-
rious "meat" was the remains of the
Kentucky Legislature. Subsequent
reports, however, dispellcd the deli
cious anticipation.-[Franklin Patriot.
THERE have been quite a number of
deaths in our community within the
past few weeks, and we have no con-
tagious or epidemic disease in our
midst, either. Pneumonia and con-
sumption seem to 5e about the only
diseases prevalent, and pneumonia
seems to he about as fatal as cons mp
ton. There has been one case Of ty-
phoid fever, which proved fatal but
not single case of scarlet fever yet.

THE Spring Fork neighborhood was
yesterday by the intelligence
that a Mr.. Overton and his wife,
while attempting to cross Spring Fork
creek, a short distance above Mr..
Stones mill-,lam, were drowned. 1t
appears that they got into a canoe and
were padding it across the creek when
the current was so strong as to rerder
all efforts to pull across fruilless. The
current carried them over the mill
dam, the canoe turned over aud the
husband and wife were then lost from
sight. At e late hour last night their
bodies had not been found.-[ Hartford
Herald.

tinguish the flames, but failed. and the

rolling in the grass, setting it on fire
