buils within ono year. "unlcss prevented by legal
proceedings, IN which case tho delay caused by such
legal proceedings shall bo deducted from thu
said one year." Those Interested in tho road
recently asked tho present Common Council
for permission to extend the timo for the compile
tion OF their road, and their request was granted.
1t found, however that the action OF the Alder.
would not boneht the company, because 1t was
known that Mayor Cooper would veto tho rosolu-
ton. and the present Board would not have time to
pass the measure over His Honor's veto. In this
dilemma 1t now appears that the railroad company
have resorted to other measures to gain their point

HON. RICHARD REID.

The bar of Montgomery county having
unanimously called upon Richard Reid,
esq, Of Mt Sterling, to become a candidate
for the position on the appellate bench
made vacant by the untoward death of
Judge Elliott, that gentleman has respond
ed fayorably to the aattering call, and is
now before the people OF the first appellate
district.
We have known Richard Reid for so
many years, and known him so intimately,
that we can not repress the impulse to say
something in his behalf, al hough at such
distance from him aud his district. But
we are not stranger to that people, and ii
may be that we are not yet forgotten by
them, and our voice, though we call from
afar, will not be n strange sound in their
ears.
Richard Reid is n gentleman by birth,
instinct and education, and one OF the fore
most men in his profession in the State.
In scholarly attachments, he is the peer Of
any man in Kentucky, He is not only
lawyer by education and practice, but per-
feet master of the theory and art Of law
tho science Of jurisprudence. His legal
papers display almost the gracemlness Of
expression and felicity Of diciion of Black.

Foqs and Boys.

Staguant pools and swamps generate
miasm which produces biliousness, aching
of the joints, and chills and fever, and the
great wonder among men has been, that no
permanent and certain remedy has been
found until the recent introduction Of Days
Ague Tonic. 1t instantly cures the most
troublesome case of chills after all other
remedies have failed. Its pleasantness and
freedom from evil symptoms render It quito
a favorite for children and females who can
not retain quinine, Another advantage is
that you are not required to take any other
medicine, because Days Ague Tonic acts
thoroughly upon the secretions--tones and
builds mp the weak and feeble, enabling
them TO throw of the disease and to recu-
perate.

In the bleak wilderness
So far away that we
Her anguish can not see,
Nor look upon her tears
Through the myriad years.
Not 80. Her bitter sorrow
Knows no past or morrow,
But mothers busoms sway
Everywhere to-day,
IA meath every sky
The little children die.
Yet have they hope
Beyond poor. lIagar'S scope,
Born of the blessed blood
That rushed in crimson flood
From the pierced side
OF the One who died
On Calvary, glorifcd.
Let them come to me,
Sinless now, sinless to be,

Are thrice welcome Away"

To know that they are there
In Jesus tender care.
