ny was in town this week arranging Mr.. J.
T. Clark's losses. lie allowed the full in
surance, 81 900 on the hOnse, but estimated
the losses on the furniture, which was in

For THE LEGIsLATuRE.--Candid for
the Legislature are coming to the front,
and the prospects are excellent for some
lively electioneering just ahead. We
don't care how warm the race gets, il per.
feet harmony is preserved. Among those
present on Monday, who have been spoken
Of in connection with the race were Alex.
Lusk, Of Gum Sulphur; Il. Il. wilmot, Of
Copper Creek; T. J. Ballard, of Big Hill,
and DIR. I. $. Bprdett, Of Brodhead.
STATE CANDIDATEs.-Dr. l.. r. Black

son, Of Hart; Col. C. +. Bowman. Of Boyle,
Maj. J. W. Boyd, of Bath, and Mr.. Ben
ton, Of Estill-all candidates for State Off
ces, we're in town Monday. The three
FIRST named addressed the Mass Convention
at the Courthouse. DR.. Blaekbun's
speech was received with much applause,
and It was evident that he captured the
crowd. An instruction to cast the vote Of
the county for him at the Louisville Con-
yention would have easily carried, but none
was offered. Major Boyd, in few we'll
timed remarks, presented his claims for the
Office of Auditor. Gen. Dawson and Col.
Bowman, who want to preside over the
Senate, interpreted their remarks with
considerable humor, which caused gen.
eral good feeling in the crowd. Monday

Of Pine Hill, aud were handsomely enter
tanned by Messrs. Crooke, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Mullins.
DIED. At her fathers residence, in Mt.
Vernon, Friday morning, January "a, 1879,
Of Consumption, Sallie, daughter Of Nil
ton J. and Mary Miller, aged II years and
3 months. This most unweloome vista.
ton of the angel Of death, has brought
sadness To every heart in the community.
The most profound sympathy for the dis
tressed family is universally extended. Sal
lie Miller was bright and lovely girl,
whose gentle disposition, unaffected de-
meanor, and purity of character always
won for her warm place in the affections
Of those who knew her. A sufferer for
three years with the disease to which at
last she fell victim. she bore her sickness
uneomplainingly. Two years ago, she con-
fessed her faith in Jesus, and was "buried
with HIM in baptism" since which time
she has been His devoted follower. Her
last moments were passed In bidding fare
well TO her parents, brothers and sisters,
and other relatives. With perfect con-
aciousness that her hours were numbered,
she entreated them not 10 weep for her,"
