You will please publish the fol

Think how You would do, and
how YOU would feel to see all YOU
had on earth taken from you, and
that by your nearest neiglibors and
should he friends. Now thisis done
thinking that some Of you have
never thought only that you were
rafting for Garien and Lyons and
Fairchild, who have promised the
Government Agent that they would
run other logs out if they would let
them have theirs. Now these facts
,can;and will be proven al heproper
time.
Now friends think of common
humanity, is all we ask from your
friends. Capt. S. B. 4.

The above documents were found
in BeckwOrth Greek, March 10th,
attached to the limb of tree cut
down across the creek, the same
having been cutlfor the purpose of
tobstructing the running of timber
belonging to private individuals,
who have purchased their own tim
Der from the Government, and who
are not at all interested in running
timber now i'll possession of the
Government.
We can see no justice in appeal
ing to men in thename Of ..1common
humanity" as Capt. IS. B. Il. states,
while at the same time they are en-
deavoring to prevent these men,
who have labored hard tobuy their
individual timber from the Govern
meltt, from running the same out,
so as to he available to the market
that they may realize q support
from it. We think that Capt. s.

should know that men are not at ali
blamed by sensible persons for at
tending to their own business, and
should not openly commit himself
by. making false statements with
regard to timber, when every one
in this section of country know SO
well that Mr. Garien is running his
individual timber, and is not at all
interested i'll running Government
timber.
We Trust that Capt. IS. R. g.. will

EdisOn's New Inventions.

FoRTY-NINE monographs are now in
use in this country. They have been
introduced in all parts of Canada, in
the West Indies, and three are in opera
ton in South America. In England,
the introduction of the monograph is
intrusted to the London Stereoscopic
Company. Continental Europe is given
to another company to exhibit and
bring into general use there the inven-
ton of Edison. The exhibitions of the
monograph in this country now num-
Der at least forty-tive every night. The
whole country is mapped out into dis
tricts, and carefully divided up among
the various exhibitors. Everywhere
the greatest interest is shown in the
new invention, and large audiences
crowd the halls to hear this novel in
strumental repetition of well-known
airs. In South and Central America
numerous exhibitions have been held,
and it is expected in about two weeks
to have similar ones held in Mexico.
In October Mr.. Edison expects to
complete his standard machine "a
photograph intended for the counting
room. He is continually perfecting the
monograph. At it he works at least
seven hours day. He is also now ex-
perimenting with a new instrument
that he calls teleoscopophone. 1t is
a sort of ear trumpet which, when APP
piled to the ear, enables one to hear
distinctly the ordinary conversation of
a man mile distant. A gentleman
who has tested one of these instruments
said: Il applied one to my ear and
could hear man talking who was
across a field, nearly mile away |
heard every word he said. Afterward
he seemed to raise his voice little, and
when | saw him afterward, he said that
then he had shouted at the top of his
voice. There is no connecting wire
here, as in the telephone. EVERYTHING
depends on the wonderful properties of
the ear trumpet, which is constructed
on a radically different principle from
those that have been in use so long. By
this instrument it is expected that deaf
persons-except those who can't hear
a cannon fired at their elbow-may hear
anything on the stage at the theater."

divines of the Catholic Church in this
city and Covington, and which she was
to formally embrace on her marriage
day in June.
During the festival week Mr.. Jack
son and sister visited Cincinnati, where
Maj. Byrne, assisted by his lady love,
contributed to their entertainments. On
Thursday they all dined together at the
Burnet very happily. That evening

company of Mr.. Jackson for the festival.

introduction to her lady friends. end

On Saturday afternoon Mr.. Jackson
called upon his friend Mai. Byrne to as
sist him in getting marriage license,
to which he responded as a friend at
once, and together they repaired to the
Probate Court, the lover little dream
ing what was in store for him. The
names of the contracting parties were
there first pronounced. Imagine what
must have been the feelings of the
strong man, the ardent lover, when
hearing the name of his almost wife in
such a connection, but he believed it a
cruel joke, and not until he met the
lady did he doubt her. He was invited
to give the bride away, and, having to
release her from her engagement with
hlm( "a most solemn one), he consented,
being a lifelong friend of both parties.
There seldom has been witnessed a
nobler exhibition of true manhood and
chivalry than when this gentleman,
suffering the agony of crushed heart
and Inundated spirit, with a calm
nerve and bearing, having formally re-
leased the lady from her plighted
troth, forgiving her the great wrong
she had done him in blasting his life
by precipitately trampling under foot
the pledges of fidelity and love still
warm upon her lips, gave away in mar
riage to another the idol of his own
heart. He has not since permitted the
affair to be mentioned in his presence,
but is evidently suffering as such man
can suffer. His friends have been APP
prehensive of the result upon him. The
prominence of the parties-Miss Worth
ington being member of a leading
Kentucky family, great favorite, a
famous beauty and belle, some twenty
seven or twenty-eight years old; Mr..
jackson, the lady's junior, the scion OF
a prominent Virginia family, a cousin
of " Stonewall," and son of a distin-
guished jurist, and the deserted lover,
a prominent gentleman in railroad and
business circles, of high moral worth
and culture, and, believe, native Of
your State, Maryland-makes this q

Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia. Gin.

A Man Who Was a Bears Cub.

WE have here in Hart County, Ky, a
man by the name of William Bowman,
who was thrown away in the Apalache
Mountains, North Carolina, when an
infant, and was found by an old bear
and adopted as cub. At the age of
about ten years he was captured, tied
hand and foot, and then his captors
found that he could not talk, nor could
he be persuaded to take any food but
milk, which he sucked from bottle,
showing that he had lived solely by the
nursing of the bear. Bowman is now
a farmer near Omega, and anyone
doubling the truth of this statement can
have it verified by seeing him.-Hart
