\ KENTUCKY MYsTERY.-About the
middle Of July, Philip Falls, a resident
OF Union, Boone county, Ky, a few
few miles from CoVirGtnn, left his home
for GAINESVILLE, Tenn. lie arrived at
Louisville and stopped over for the
night at one of the prominent hotels,
where he laet an old enemy. They re
sumed their ancient quarrel, and Falls
struck his opponent on the head With
pistol, knocking him down, when
friends intertered and separated them.
They then agreed to settle the feud the
next day IN Tie mountains of kentucky,
and according to agreement they met
the next day and concluded their prep
arations They took a train and left the
city for the mountains, unaccOm panied
by friends or spectators, and from that
day to this EGt word has been heard
from Philip Falls OF his enemy. Search
and inquiries have been made, cut all
are fruitless, and many believe that the
men fought as they had premeditated,
and fell at the hands OF each other in
the mountains. Both men Unre in good
social standing, and the quarrel which
had such mysterious termination,
arose about a woman.
The Charlottesville JcBff&2ninta thus
speaks of the Congressional candidates
in the field in this District PROM
what we hear, Nj. Paul is trying tc
magnify himself by aping Ben. Butler
in warning on Newspapers, 4Nd endeav-
oring 10 make people believe that tney
are making war upon him. They are
not given - wasting their ammunition
in that way. Brother Parson, lawyer,
farmer, and politiSi@0 Massey's tiaggel
Eations Of aspiring political Lawyers. will
do for Mr.. Paul; especially rs he is ais
political father IL reputation, having
begotten him in that faith II is proper
that he be turned over to his parental
care and discipline. We vsnture to sug-
gest to PAIL, Harris, Moffett, and Rid
dlebarger, and all the regulators, who
are opposing brother Massey by trying
to mount his donkey repudiator, upon
which to ride into Congress, that they
are trying to do a very naughty thing.
1t is worse than a breach Of the tenth
commandment. 1t is nothing less than
trying to steal their neighbor's ASS.
( Judgment filded in the limited di-
vorce suit Of Kennedy vs. Kennedy by
Judge Sedgwick, Of New ! ork, posses
qes considerable interest IN tbs case
the plaintiff, the wife, charged inhuman
treatment, and it was i'll proof that the
husband had employed his tongue rs
the sole weapon, instead of his hand,
knife, or stick. The iUdge, referring
to the allegations and evidence III the
case, said :-"This constitutes cruel and
inhuman treatment as meant by the
statute, even if no bodily injury was
done TO her There was SIeeplessness
and the consequences OF nervous shock
and arrangement, which things are as
definitely "bodily" as the results OF a
blow, and last longer unless the blow is
murderous. The plaintiff should have
judgment for a separation"
