Obituary.

Lydia c. Smell, wife of G. w. Smell.
Esq. and sister Of Rev. G. W. Benton OF
the Cincinnati Conference NJ. E. Church,
was born in Ohio county, Ky. Aug. 18th,
lS43, and died March. 3lst, 1877. In
early life she embraced the christian re-
ligion and united with the NJ. E Church
at Wesley Chapel-No Creek-and con-
tinued faithful until death. Her sickness
was Of short duration, but attended with
much suffering-through which the grace
of God was all sufficient; giving her great
patience and resignation. She expressed
herself as being fully ready for the call
of her Master, and urged her relatives
and friends to meet her in Heaven. Near
her last words were: BLESS The Lord o
my soul, and all that is tcithin me bless HIS
Holy NAME" A husband, four children, a
number of relatives and many friends are
left to mourn. "But not as those who
have no hope"
"Thc soul of our sister is gone,
To heighthen the triumph above;
Exalted TO Jesus throne,
And clasp'd in the arms Of his love-"
j. I. PENDER, Pastor.

one Of the finest ssw-mills in the Green

kinds Of saving from the smallest to the
greatest dimensions.
The time of year for peeling tan bark is
at hand, and judging from preparations
made there will be more tan. bark shipped

The farmers in this section of the

ErITos HERALD:
While you are publishing such inter-
esling communications from all parts of
the county, suppose you give Ccralvo a
blast too. Let your readers know that
there is such place NJ Ceralvo; that it
is situated on the bank Of Green river, at
the crossing of the road leading from
Hartford to Greenville that it boasts the
usual number of tobacco factories, dry
goods stores, drug stores, blacksmith shops,
physicians, etc, etc, found in Kentucky
villages, and that il is surrounded bv a
community Of farmers noted for their
thrilt and intelligence
But it is the events now Transporting
here that you want, is it2 Well, let me
see, Mr.. L V. Kimbley who for wears
has been one OF our most industrious and
successful farmers, has retired from agri>
cultural pursuits and moved to town to
live, while his son, f. o., who, a few
months ago, captured one of our faircst
daughters, 20 be an help meet for him,
takes the old gentleman's place on the
farm.
Mr.. W. D. Barnard has just built
nice, substantial ferry boat, and now all
whose business or pleasure leads them this
way and beyond, can cross the placid
stream with perfect safety.
Miss Mamie Morton, sister to your ac>
tive grocery man, has just opened very
interesting school; and, by the way, if
Miss Mamie proves az successful as
teacher rs she is, is well, as she is
pretty, her fortune is already made.
Miss PINE Baker, of this place, has
charge Of school in District No Is this
session and though young, we are pleased
to learn she is giving entire satisfaction,
and rules her subjects like a queer
Gents, of No. Is, beware of her irrcsisti,
bic charms.
S. w. Anderson has just received big
stock Of fresh spring goods, and trade is
quite lively.
| must not forget to notice our Sunday
school, Rs il ID an institution OF which we
all feel proud. 1t is an evergreen, blooms
summer and winter, and we think it equal
to any in the county-yours of Hartford,
perhaps, excepted.
Mr.. A. I. Williams, the prince Of log
men, has just returned from Evansville,
where lie sold his logs at dollar and
fifteen cents. Don't AL take the HERALD?
| presume from his go>aheadativeness
that be docs.
A few words about our farmers, and
then wont trouble you further. Never
before were they more active. Never
were they more determined that the fruits
OF years labor should free them from a
bondage more CALLING than that of rms
sian seris. | mean slavery to debt Hence
their plans were never on as grand
scale before; and from what they have
already accomplished, III venture the as
sertion that they will be successful, if the
good Lord withholds not the sunshine
and the shower. Almost all have finished
breaking, and the soil is ready for dropping
in tie seed.
With many wishes for the success of
the HERALD, l am yours truly,
G.. Quill.

SUMMARY OF THE GENERAL NEWS.
Ex-GOv. TIIden's speech.

Gov. 1ilden was serenaded in New
York on the night Of the 9th. In his speech
he said: II our British cousins find it diff
cult to get supply of food we have bOunti-
full supply, and a continent in which are vast
areas Of fertile soil adapted to the use Of ag-
ricultural machinery and connected with the
centres oftrade by great rivers, vast internal
seas, and 75,O 600 miles of railroads, why cannot
British wOrkmen have cheap food? Our
farmers would trade and our carriers facilitate
this commerce. Commercial exchanges, il
must be remembered, involve mutuality. We
must reform and moderate cur barbarOus
revenue system and no Ion ger legislate against
works of humanity or the benefactOrs Of God.
Tilden endorsed the Democratic State ticket,
and said: "This election has relation to ma
tiOnal policies, in regard TO whibh yOuexpeet
that should make some observations. You
are aware Of the result of the contest in 1876.
"a voice: You were robbed."l Til
den, exeitedly: / did not get robbed.
1t was a robbery Of the dearest rights Of
American citizens, the right Of free govern
ment, the right Of the people to govern them
selves and change their rulers at win. II the
American people lie down and consent to sac
rifce the integrity OF their control over their
own government, they viii commit a wrong,
not only against themselves, but the people Of
every other land. One thing / promise; one
thing swear, before the assembled people Of
America: / swear that the government Of
America will be restored to the people accord
ing To the ideal Of its founders

After the farmer, those we mean who
cultivate gardens, raise good supply of
vegetables they often fail to realize the
benef: of tLeir labor frsm a lack of
knowledge h wv to keep them. This es-
pecially is the case with squashes and
that class of vegetables that require TO be
kept comparatively warm and dry. 1t is
quite usual for them to put them ia a
pile in the cellar, and than wonder THAT
they rot
Squashes, pumpkins and all that class
of vegetables require: First an absence
of light; second, a dry temperature not
exceeding fifty-five or sixty degrees, and
third, to be so placed that one does not
come in contact with another. We have
always had success in keeping them well
into spring by placing them in cool,
dry chamber until freezing occurs, and
then removing them to a closet for safe
keeping over winter. Thus Hubbard
and other hard-shelled varieties may be
kept until May and even June.
For use until February they will keep
tolerably well in dry cellar placed ON
shelves, Boston marrow being the first to
decay. The turban-by the way, to our
mind, one of the best of the winter var
ieties, especially for baking-will often
keep in the cellar until March. Thus
only sufficient for use later need be treat
ed TO the dry, cool closet. 1t will pay,
at the latter part of the winter and early
spring there is a dearth of vegetable food
ON the farm that makes such articles es-
pecially valuable.
