At Rochester, in this county, there
died on the 18th Of September, the
Oldest horse on record for a number of
years. He was the property Of the
famous Daniel d. Bell, of legal as
well as gold mine notoriety. He was
known by the name Of "Gumbo,' and
in his day was a noted stallion. Many
citizens of Kingston and Ulster coun-
ty remember the animal as a splendid
horse when they were boys. At the
time of his death he had attained the
ripe age of torty-five years and six
months. He retained a remarkable
vitality to the last, and for three quar-
ters of an hour before his demise he
stood upon his legs, proud and majes.
tic, as in his younger days. He had
long been the property of Bell, who
had driven him many thousands of
miles in his lifetime, he having owned
him a period Of twenty-seven years
and half, since he was eighteen years
old. If any body can beat this, let

was protesting, a day or two since,
that advertising benefited no body
but newspaper publishers; money
paid for advertisements was thrown
away; no body read them. We offer
ed to insert in the most remote corner
of the paper he might select, an ad-
vertisement offering 81 80 a bushel
for wheat, provided he would make
the offer good to those who might read
the advertisement and call on him.
And do you think he would do itH
Not bit of it. And this is the way
with most men who denounce adver-
tising, when asked to test the matter
as to whether or not advertisements

their own works, and tacitly acknowl.
edging the great power Of the press as
an advertising medinm.

East Layer OF Huge Homes.

A party of laborers under the su-
perinteudence of G. A. Currier, of
Chicago, were engaged in making
large excavation upon the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad, about
one and a half miles west Of Denizen,
Iowa, in obtaining gravel for the pur-
pose of making extensive repairs of
the road near that place. They reach
ed depth of about fifteen feet when
they came upon a vast accumulation
of bones, which, as the work proceed
ed, they continued to find along the
entire line Of the excavation for dis
tance of nearly 1000 feet. The bones
lie in bed of gravel, and the strata
in every direction seems to be full of
them. Some of them--particularly
the teeth-are in an excellent state OF
preservation; others, on being expos
ed to the atmosphere, quickly crum-
BILE and fall to pieces. They are all of
remarkable size, and could have be-
longed to no animal now living. Some
of the teeth which have been found
weigh over eight pounds, and measure
over foot in circumference.

Marrow Gauge ~ Eenfucky.

The Stanford INTERIOR Journal
says "a narrow.gauge railroad from
Monticello to Point Isabel, where the
Cincinnati Southern road crosses the
Cumberland river, is being discussed. I"
The question Of building narrow-gauge
roads is one that should not I've alone
discussed, but adopted in whatever
quarter Of the South Il can be. In
sparsely settled neighborhoods they
will prove great ciyilizers and induce.
ments for immigration. AS feeders
for trunk lines they will have advan-
tages over broad.gauge roads not only
on account Of their almost incompara-
BILE cheapness in construction and ope-
ration, but from the fact that noun
tainous regions can be penetrated and
hitherto inaccessible sections reached.
We believe the estimate is that sub
stantial and serviceable narrow-gauge
roads can be built at cost but very
little in advance Of that required to
grade, macadamize and keep in repair
the mettled turnpike roads so common
in Kentucky and a few other States.
In several Of the Eastern States the
narrow-gauge system has worked
charmingly and profitably, and men
ton has been made of one little road
in Massachusetts, built parallel with
broad.gauge track, which, by vigorous
competition, and ability to carry both
freight and passengers st lower rates,
has secured the bulk Of business and
proved victorious in the fight The
narrow-gauge railroad, therefore, is an
enterprise that must and will enlist
the attention of the enterprising capt.
talists of the South Louisville Eve
ming News.

a good lady who suffers acutely from
sciatica. She has consulted physi.
clans far and near, but has been un-
successful in finding any cure. For
not long since she heard that a man
living not far away was afflicted with
the same disease in an aggravated
form, and it occurred to her that she
would call upon him and ask him
whether he had ever found any thing
that would avail to lessen its terrors.
She did so, and having introduced
herself, stated her errand. "Do you,

Uhaf RaUard Saus.

In rejecting upon the evils which
to-day afflict our country, which has
prostrated its prosperity and paralyzed
its industries and commerce, l trace
the want of influence of the fireside
virtues. Ours is a Government of
laws. but laws nodded by public opin-
ion. In reformed, regenerated pub
lie opinion must we look for the cure
Of the evils which unclean dishonesty,
disregard OF truth and honor, unscru-
pulous private greed, and unpatriotic
animosities have brought upon us.
The family and the home circle are
the natural birthplace and nursery of
the principles which, being educated
and established there, expand into the
community and pervade the whole
body of laws and government with
their sober and sweet influences. The
care of his family is the just, happiest
and proudest duty Of the American
citizen, and to the American mother
is assigned the power and duty of
molding the character of the Ameri.
can man. No written law, no estab-
lished constitution has created or as.
signed these duties, but in their just
performance rests our chief hopes for
individual and national welfare and
happiness.

This little dissertation on necktie
matinees we clip from the Maysville
Eagle: The healthiest thing that could
take place in Kentucky would be the
spectacle of several old-fashioned
hangings. Human life is so cheap in
this State that no scoundrel ever hesi-
tates 10 shoot down any one who has
given him the most trivial offense, in
broad daylight, for fear of the law.
He may apprehend that his own life
may be taken in the conflict, or he
may shrink from the expense; but he
never stops for fear OF being judicially
executed. Could it be made certain
to these assassins that their crimes
would be punished by death, there
would not be one murder in Kentucky
where there are now one hundred.
The true remedy, the only remedy, for
all this blood-guiltiness Is the applica,
tion of hemp.
