prominent citizens devoting the entire day for
the success of the no. license candidates,
while the rum influence resorted to some very
mean tricks to accomplish their purpose.
The vote for the Mayor was announced as
giving two majority and heelection of one
of the no-license Council by one vote This
was very hard on them and they prevailed up
on the officers to have private count of the
ballots again the next evening, which result
ed in increased majorities for the no-license
candidates. The contest, excepting for Mayor
and Common Council, was waged upon poll
teal issues.

WHAT THE LOCAL PAPERS Do.--An ex-
change combats with considerable vigor the
argument that the city papers are cheaper
and BETTER because they give more columns
of reading matter for the money Do the
city papers ever give you any home news
Do they say anything in regard to your own
locality? Do they contain notices of your
schools, churches, meetings, improvements,
and hundreds of other local matters of inter
est, which your paper publishes? Do they
ever say word calculated to draw your at
tention to your county and its towns, and aid
in their progress and enterprisep And yet
there are men who take such contracted views
of the matter that unless they are getting as
many square inches Of reading matter in
their own paper as they do in the city papers,
they think they are not getting the, worth of
their money. 1t reminds us of the man who
took the largest pair of boots in the box,
simply because they cost the same as the pair
much smaller that fitted him. s.

The PENN MUTUAL.--It is pleasing to no.
tice the satisfactory result of recent
examination of the condition of the Penn
Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Phladel-
phia. This examination was made by the
State Examiner, and was most thorough
The condition of the Company was found to
be excellent, the assets amounting to 1924 for
every 500 of liabilities, and the investments
carefully made. The Company is managed
by careful business men, of first-class qualifi-
Cations who. however. do not receive the
!" tirst-class . salaries that are paid by some
Insurance Companies to officers of less ability.
While the presidents of three or four New
York companies receive each from $25, 900 to
$S7, 900 per year. the entire corps of six
principal officers Of the Penn Mutual receive
but ssi, eco. No company in the country. we
feel assured, that does so great 4 business,
pays its officers such low rates. All its af-
fairs are managed in an economical manner
and for the benefit of its policy holders, and
we can assure those who wish life insurance
that they cannot find safer company to in
sure in than the Penn Mutual. Read the ex-
tracts from the official report, published in an
other column. Mr.. S. G. Lands, of this city,
is the General Agent for thisscompany.

Monday, in this city, resulted in the choice

one) and of Republican City Clerk. While
party tickets were run, the contest, so far as
the Council was concerned was upon the Ii
cense question, and the no-license party have
once more secured success. The other city
officers were voted for quite as much accord

the claims of party. Below is the vote in de-

ARrmte skinned Alire-

Mayfield Ky Democrat: "Sev-
eral weeks ago an eleven-year-old
daughter of Ballard county farmer
mysteriously disappeared, and all eff
forts to find her Whereabouts We're
fruitless, until ten days after her
disappearance, when a neighbOring
farmer, while out searching for his
COW, heard the cries as of some one
in distress, and following the direc-
ton of the sound, found the lost
child in a dense thicket with both
hands tied together with arope, one
end of which was tied to tree.
Near the tree were some old clothes
upon which the child slept. The
farmer inquired of the child how
she happened to be there in that
condition, when she told him that a
negro man had brought her there,
and that he came there every night
and brought her something to eat
and drink, and that he violated her
person. The farmer told the child
to remain quiet until night, and he
would procure assistance, and when
the negro came back that night they
would secure him, which they did.
When the girl was asked what must
be done with him, she said skin
him alive, which they proceeded to
do Immediately. They commenced
at the crown of his head and stripped
the skin to his feet. He only sur
vived about five minutes after the
operation"

ANoveIinOne Chapter.

The following is from a Paris pa
per. 1t may be true, but it is more
likely to be il product of the imagi-
nation. As a story it is rather good:
Here IL the story of an unfOrtu-
nate young lawyer: This unlucky
wight was head over heels in love
with beautiful girl, and was about
to be married to her. On the eve
of the wedding day he was called
i'm to defend an awful miscreant-a
man of thirty-WhO had poisoned
his mother and father. The case
seemed a lost one, and when the
prosecution had closed, the young
lawyer was just about giving up the
struggle without an effort. Sudden
Nv he perceived in the far extremity
of the courtroom his beloved and
her parents. who came to see what
kind of stuff he was made of. The
presence of the one he WOrShipS
changes his train of thought. He
feels that he must make a show of
talent, and commencing his argu-
ment, rises to the highest flights of
eloquence. In word, he succeeds
i'm showing that the criminal Is an
upright, Virtuous and much-abused
man, and obtains his acquittal, In
the evening, the lawyer, with tri-
umphant air, calls at the house of
his future father-in-law, expecting
that his success will insure him Il
warm reception. To his surprise he
finds the young girl cold and her
parents much embarrassed. He asks
what this sort Of reception means.
My friend says he whom the
young man had already begun to
call father-in-law, must tell you
my daughter loves another AN
other, Who is the mau?' The
good and virtuOus man whom you
to-day, by your elOquence, restored
to society replies the father.

Professor Tice, of st. Louis, writes
to a friend in Memphis on the early
frost question and early fall issue.
He predicts as follows:
at is impossible for me to give
extremes of temperature. My al
manac gives oscillations of temper
ature as deduct them when l had
all the conditions before me and
passed them under review. There
is liability of frost here on Septem-
Der 18th, Goth and Goth, and on De-
tober 9TH, 18th or 18th, oath and Both.
You probably Will have no frost to
injure anything earlier than about
October 18th, and no killing frost be-
fore October 18th. After that at any
time of the periods of low tempera-
ture mentioned above"

FROM OAK GROVE, KY.

EDITORS CHRONICLES: | wonder
ifa "limited few" of your readers
don't begin to anguish for news
from Oak Grove? Or not hearing
from us for so long a time have they
forgotten its existence? "ShOuld
auld acquaintance be forgot and
never brought to mind ~ Generally
those who should be remembered
are oftenest forgotten, and rice UerSd.
And now, although it may be that
"cruel fate fixes its adamantine
grapple on the topmost roofs of
their remembrance, flinging all

times dilatory chronicler, to olsen
throne the power Of forgetfulness by
an occasional reminder.
Notwithstanding the drOuth, Oak
Grove still survives hOurishingly.
The crops have suffered a good deal,
but considering the scarcity of rain
are looking remarkably well. a
great many of the ponds, cisterns
and wells have dried up, and the
cry of the temperate men has been
for water. In most places there
hasn't been even enough water to
support the by some highly priced
batrachians. 1t has rained some
to-day, and the clouds promise more
tonight. Haven't heard of the to-
bacco worms committingany serious

grangers.
The neighborhood has been quite
gay for the past week or two. Sew

Longview as the greatest treats of
the season, and as Mrs. r. says her
parties are on hand at least once a
year, we look forward to the party
of '78 with gladstone expectancy.
But we are near forgetting that pre-
cept which has been given to the
worlds denizens through many
ages given by different individuals
in different words, but still the same !:
ssTrust not the future, time works a delusion
Zen in the hearts of the brave and the

Let us not weave fancy visions to follow;
Trust 70 no scheme which the future may

We begin to learn it ere youths
bright dream has faded but alas
so many fail to use that knowledge.
They are ever forgetting that only
the present is open to them ; that
not even tomorrow they may call
their own. Madly they pursue
worldly pleasure; pleasure that
"Iize quicksilver, is bright and coy;
We strive to grasp il with our utmost skill,
Still it eludes us and it glitters still.

What is it but rank poison in your veins %
And yet learn they not wisdom

Hope, like the bird in the story,
Fitting from tree to tree,
With the talisman's glittering glory"
still leads them over the delusive
quicksands and marshes of life of
which they little reck the fearful
danger. How true the sentiment
embodied in thestanza from YOung's
Night Thoughts:
o, the dark days of vanity while here,
How tasteleSs and how terrible when gone
Gone they never go; when past they

And smiles an angel or fury frowns."

could be reused from the dreadful
coma that envelopes them! Waken

Take thy time while time is lent thee.
Creeping snails have weakest force;
Fly their fault, lest thou repent thee.

4 Remarkable Horse.

Miss Charlotte Thornton, of this
place, has an old black horse which
goes straight to the blacksmith shop
and deliberately walks in, unattend-
ed, every time he loses q shoe. A
negro boy usually rides him to drive
COWS to and from the pasture. The
other day the darby didn't come to
time. and the intelligent horse drove
the cows to the pasture; at another
time he went to the pasture alone
and drove the cows home.

AduIteration of Food.
August 23d, 1877.

In these days of ingenious dishOn-
esty we scarcely can know what we
may be eating in the shape of food.
While we desire to have as good an
opinion of mankind as possible, it
is impossible not to realize that a
large proportion of adulterated ar
ticles are sold by grOcers and other
dealers. In some cases we are not
deceived, for we do not expect the
pure article; We there is much more
INSCRIPTIONS dealing than is gener-
ally known. 1t is not a secret that
clear, golden sirup can be made
from starch and sulphuric acid /;
that beans, peas, peanuts and rye
are transformed into excellent cOf-
fee that sugar is compounded with
starch, sand, plaster of Paris, or
anything lChie; and that wines are
made without drop of grape juice,
from beet-rOOtS, from potatoes, and
from, as has been stated, thousand
different substances. 1t is pity we
cannot know a little more definitely
3rhdt we are eating and drinking.
But so it is. Unless one sees his cOf-
fee ground from the berry he may
be almost positive that he is drink
ing a motley mixture, which, to be
sure, may taste exceeding well.
There is a little chiccOry in it, you
may think. And what is chiccOry
4 root which, when dried, roasted
and ground, resembles coffee in APP
pearance, although it has neither
the essential oil nor the aromatic
flavor of coffee, nor does it possess
the nutritive properties of that ber-
~. though many consider it harm
less. But a recent number of the
Scientific American makes this
statement =" ChiccOry is now pre-
pared, to our certain knowledge, OF
oak bark ,Ofold coffee grounds, Oftine-
ly-sifted coal ashes, or else with the
Sawdust falling from mahogany and
walnut woods, as well as with iron
black and ground horse feathers ;
these are few of the elegantly pre-
pared articles sold under the name
Of coffee. " Therefore one needs
to investigate little further than
merely to ascertain that there is
chiccOFy" in his coffee. Loaf
sugar, which is esteemed the most
elegant kind of sWeetening, has been
known to be prepared of acetate OF
lead, sulphuric aciI, old paper, wool,
flax, and even common rags, ground
up and impregnated with white
sugar. However marvellous these
authorizations may seem as chemical
or mechanical experiments, they
have become degraded into mere
tricks of trade, filling the pockets OF
the dealers, but often destroying the
health of consumers.
