EDITOR HERALD Not seeing any
communications from our quiet little
village for some time, l have concluded
this morning to pen a few lines for the
columns of your most excellent paper,
though l fear that l shall fail to prove
interesting, on account of absence of
anything to communicate.
Business in this part of the county
seems to be ivening up considerably,
Notwithstanding the tobacco is yet gen.
orally in the hands of the producers,
and mostly unsold. Buyers are very
reluctant about purchasing, especially
at the prices the farmers are now ask.
ing. A great number of the farmers
are making arrangements to have their
crops prised. The indications are that
there will be great effort made to
pitch large crop the present year.
The very excessive cold weather
which We have for the last few weeks
experienced, it is believed by all, has
killed the fruit.
Wheat crops in this part of the coun-
ty are looking unusually well. There
was a larger crop sOwn last fall than
has been for many years.
Rev. w. w. Cook of Hartford, de>
livered very able discourse on the
evils of intemperance, at this place, on
the 18th inst, to a large and apprecia
tive audience.
On the 18th inst was Squire Tilford's
court, and the docket was small. The
legal profession was represented by
Hubbard and Wedding, of Hartford.
A few days since, a couple of per.
sons in the shape Of human beings,
and bearing the holy name of woman,
accompanied by one of the degenerated
ofsprings of the devil, in the person of
one Will Cook, came into this neigh>
borhOod, and stopping in old out-hous,
es, commenced perpetrating crime
so black that at the sight of which the
very cheek of darkness would turn
pale. Squire TiIford at once issued
writs of arrest and placed them in the
hands of constable Ezell, who, after
much maneuvering, succeeded in ar,
resting the trio, and placing them un-
der bond to await their trial The
probabilities are that the jailof will
have few bOarders.
A school has just opened here under
the management of Miss Ella Day,
who as disciplinarian and thorough
instructor, is equaled by but few, and
surpassed by none. The public school
which was taught by Mrs. Tilford,
and which closed IA short time since.
was decided success, as demonstrated
by the rapid progress made by the pu.
pills. There is great deal of interest
manifested in education at this place.

When you see a man that shuffies
loosely along, with his knees knocking
together and his toes pointing in
whose eyes roll furtively and whose
hand is ever suddenly jerking itself
above his head as if warding off a
blow. you can rely upon it that that
man is haunted by a mother-in-law-
but when you see a party who lifts
his feet high, and holds his nose in
air, and has one eye shut in a knowing
manner, and whose mouth is distended
with a self-cOmpIacent grin, and who
seems to feel good all Ouers you can bet

GRAYsON COUNTY ITEMS.
The news or the County, by our
GraysOn Correspondent

There is vein of lead ore on the
farm ofMr. Mark Shain, of Pine Knob,
in this county, that might become a
paying investment to capitalists. The
vein has been worked to some extent,
but through the mcompetency of those
employed in the work, and lack of
funds to prosecute the undertaking, it
has been suffered to lie idle ever since.
This region of the country abounds in
several valuable minerals, and is bound
to become a prosperous mining district

GRAYsoN SPRINGS STATION. Ky
April The sd, 1876
Editor HERALD:-I give you the
following as related to me by Mr.. JEFF
Pickerel, a reliable gentleman of this
neighborhOod:
One Mr.. Stone, while travelling
through Texas, was informed by an
old lady from Indiana that in Grayson
county, Kentucky, on Meater creek,
there was silver mine, and that there
were two barrels of money hid within
it. In describing the location, she
said that there was beech tree stand
ing near by. with the representation
of two pistols and an eagles wing en-
graved in the bark. Mr.. Stone re-
turned to Kentucky, and in company
with Mr.. Drain, visited the precincts
described by the Indiana lady, and
found the beech precisely as above de-
scribed- The old lady also told Stone,
that she was very small when she
marked the mine, and that she was
compelled to leave in hurry, and not
being able to take the money with her
was forced to throw it into the hole or
cave where she had been at work, and
cover it up the best way she could.
Stone and Drain have been digging
in the cave, but no one knows whether
they have found the money or not.
The land on which the treasure is con-
cealed doesn't belong to Stone q; Drain,
and consequently they have to work
on the sly. 1 do not think Mr.. Pick
erel told me how the facts were discov-
cred, but it has been found out by the
owner Of the land. Iguess the mine
will be well explored.

The answer to miserable Snow,
published in the HERALD of the 18th,
is something out of the common run of
versifcation. Only a genius could
have conceived the idea of his grand
mother picking geese, for a poetical
comparison of a snow storm. But We
are told genius" as a general thing,
"dies young" and we will await with
breathless expectation, the obituary
notice in the pages of the HERALD,
informing us that the writer "has gone
to help his grandmother pick her geese
in heaven"
In some sections of our county hogs
are dying in great numbers from chol>
era. 1.-THE disease continues to spread
Grayson county will be sadly deficient
in this kind of stock, as last fall hum
dreds died from the same cause.
With the exception of Spring Lick,
all the stations in this county on the
line of the l.. p. & S. W. Railroad are
making rapid strides in the way of
improvements. Caneyville, wildwood.

are all building more or less, and bus

ming to be little livelier, showing
decrease in the matter of hard times,
that is truly pleasant to contemplate.
A STRANGE DoG.
A gentleman residing near Wildwood
possesses one of the most extraordinary
canine curiosities we have ever heheld.
The animal in question possesses a
great many traits of the dog, but, as
uncle John expressed it, "the vermin's
there sure" In size, it is as large as
a common rat-terrier, the color being
a darkreddish brown, while each hind
foot is furnished with claws, resembling
those of the coon, only longer and
heavier. The fore feet are, in every
particular, canine, while the body
takes the long, 1.-THE form of the weasel,
the ears standing straight and point
ed. The eyes have a wild, unnatural
look that gives to the physiognomy of
the creature a strange elfsh appear
nnce and strikes the beholder with
cold icy dread, while the long pointed
nose proclaIms Its coonish origin. |
There is not the least spark of canine |
affection in this strange animal, and |
although the children have tried to pet |
him from his Youngest days, he never
would allow any of them to fondle or
become too familiar with him. He
stays about the barn in the winter sea-
son, and only comes TO the house when
by hunger, while in sum-
ner he invariably takes up with one
particular COW, following her each |
morning to the woods pasture and re-
on y when she returns at night.
The creature has that dread of other
logs noticeable in all wild animals, and
1t the approach of one will seek safety
n some friendly covert, or in wild,
leadlong fight.
