important matter pertaining to their
happiness, at rights, viz: Messrs.

Society is what is wanted in Caney-
vile, and there are nice people enough
in Caneyville to organize themselves
into good society, and encourage and
promote refinement among those less
gifted or unfavorably situated. 1t is
their duty to Use the talents given
them by an all wise God to put forth
every effort to do good and make this
poor life more satisfactory and pleas

them. To elevate them and Caney-
vile society to high standard. 1t
can be done and trust will be done.
Friends, hold meeting for that pur-
pose, if you please-it will give you
great pleasure in doing good. You
want a Sabbath school. Jesus Christ
Came into the world to save the peo-
pie of Caneyville:" and if some of
them do not know it, it is your duty to
improve them. You should have
public worship regularly, every Sab

Religion is the basis of civilization, and
refinement. You want temperance

society, and society for the purpose
Of doing good and encouraging sOcia-
bility, kindness and unselfShness, and
not only Caneyville needs all these or
ganizations, but many other places all

Christian and sociablo feeling should |
ever prevail, and all the little petty |
jealousy, gossip selfshness and the
mean unsocial feeling, which often de-
velopes itself in small towns, should |
be completely banished. Refinement,
intelligence, religion and unselfshness
will do it. Promote it Promote it |

CANEYyILLE, May 10, 1879,

CANEYvILLE. May 10, 1879.
Editor Herald.
Caneyville is one of the best trading
points on the p. and f II. r. 1t is
in the midst of rich farming coun-
try and there is practically no end to
its resources. There is always some
thing TO trade on-wheat, corn, oats,
tobacco, ginseng, beeawax, butter,
eggs poultry walnut logs, hoop poles,
slaves. hogs cattle and many other
products, too numerous to mention.
Great quantities of tobacco, walnut
logs. slaves, hogs and cattle, have
been sold this spring, and money has
been plentiful in consequence, and
trade is reported brisk by all the mer-
chants.
Messrs. Wilson & Bro, the rushing
pushing, enterprising business men of
the place. report their sales largely in
excess any former year. They have
established a branch store at Fords-
vile, Ohio county. and claim that
trade is brisk over there, and that the
resources of that locality aud its peo-
pie are similar in excellence to those
of Canevville.
Times are undoubtedly improving,
not only in Grayson county, but also
in Ohio and many other counties on
the p. and L. r. r. The county is
just how opening up and its wonderful
resources being developed. Coal, wal
nut lumber. stave timber and its agri-
cultural products, are attracting the
attention of business men and capital
lists, who are not afraid to risk their
capital and experience.
Caneyville has always had the name
of being hard place. a pretty hard
place as some people pleasantly say
when they think of its good beer,
whisky, etc., and of those who partake
of those beverages. 1t got its hard
name while the railroad was building.
Since that time it has settled down
to as quiet and peaeeable a town as
any in Kentucky. There are no more
respectable, peaceable and intelligent
people, in the State than the citizens
of Caneyville, and its not hard
Eplace any farther than that few in
nocent, harmless, good natured fellows
from the country come to town and
act the clown occasionally, when they
partake too freely of that well known
whisky-which is found,
not only in Caneyville, but all over
civilization.
The citizens of Caneyville are a:
sober and industrious as are any il
the land, and society is good if only
properly organized. Many persons
coming to Caneyville, complain about
the state of society. They admit thai
the citizens of town are respectable
intelligent. and just as nice as they
can be, but do not mingle with eacl
other enough to be called real sociable

a Hard Ride with Hooker,

Soon after Fighting Joe" Hooker
was installed as commanding General of
the Army of the Potomac, vice General
Burnside, he was visited at his quarters,
near Falmouth, Va, by President Lin
coin, whom General Hooker, accompan-
led by several members Of his staff, met
at Aqua Greek. Now General Hooker
was not only hard fighter but hard
rider. A horse had been provided for
the president, and when every body was
mounted away went the cavalcade led
by General Hooker, at a full gallop,
plunging through the mud and darkness
towards Falmouth, some ten or twelve
miles away. Several times during the
ride Mr.. Lincoln intimated that an
easier pace would suit him better, but
" Fighting Joe" kept forging ahead I'M
til headquarters were reached. Every
body, including Mr.. Lincoln, was cover
ed with mud from head to foot, and on
dismounting, General Hooker, who
seemed to have enjoyed his ride, adj
vanced to Mr.: Lincoln, and, extending a
pair of gauntlets, said, in jocular way
" Mr.. President, keep these to remind
you of our ride to night" NO." re-
piled the president, grimly surveying
his Undiscovered person, "keep your
gauntlets; shall need nothing to remind
me of our night" Baltimore Gozstte.

a Duel Between Friends.

The little Swedish town of Kordkop-
ping has been the scene of very des.
perate duel, without seconds. Two
officers of the Guards, named Ohlsson
and Bostrom, were found in a room,
both shot through the heart. They had
been firm friends, and the mystery of
their death has only been solved by let
tiers which they wrote to their relations.
1t seems that one of these gentlemen,
who was engaged to marry lady of good
family, had previous to his engagement
maintained relations with 8 notorious
woman in Stockholm, His friend rashly
announced the engagement to this per-
son, who, thereon, wrote letter to the
young lady, which made her behave
with great GOODNESS to her lover. The
guardsman found life uncomfortable; his
friend also suffered the fortunes of re-
morse, and they resolved to put them
selves out of their pain by fighting a
duel, at the shortest possible distance.
Bostrom shot Ohlsson through the heart,
and himself was found with a bullet in
his breast. But that bullet was not
discharged by Ohlsson. A mark on Dos
trom's forehead shows that re had been
grazed by the shot Of his opponent, and
it is plain that, unwilling to survive his
friend, ne shot himself through the
heart.

Discovery of Columbus Anchor.

A curious relic of one of the expedi-
tions which sailed to the West Indies
under the command of Columbus has it
is stated by Martinique journal, been
recently discovered. On the 4th of An
gust. 1893, small squadron of three
vessels, under the order of Christopher
Columbus, was anchored off the south
western extremity of the island of Trim
idad. Late at night Columbus, it is re.
lated by Washington Irving, suddenly
saw wall of water approaching toward
the feet from the south. His own YES
sci was lifted up so high by the incom-
ing wave that he feared it would be eth
er submerged or dashed on shore, while
the cable of one of the other chips, parted
under the strain to which it was subject
ed. The crews of the vessels gave them
selves up for lost; but after time the
wave which it is surmised must have
been caused by an exceptionally large
body of water coming suddenly down
one of the rivers flowing into the Gulf
of Paria, ebbed back again. This sud-
den rise of the water of the gulf is men,
toned by Columbus son Ferdinand,
who adds that the feet suffered no dan.
ger save the loss of one anchor. It is this
anchor which has now been found; and
strangely enough, it was dug up from
depth six feet below the surface of the
ground, at a spot 372 feet from the near
est point of the coast line. The land, it
is well known, is gaining upon the sea
along the shoses of Venezuela, 30 that
where once ships rode at anchor gardens
are now planted. The anchor itself is
of simple form and comparatively rude
manufacture, the stock being eight feet
long and round, with a ring at one end
one foot in diameter, to which to make
fast the cable, and with fukes five feet
long, the whole weighing LOO pounds

BUTTER.
The Article With q Very SMALL Per-
centage of salt.
From the Ney York Times

The Article With a Very SMALL Per-
centage of salt,
From the New York lines.
The liking for butter that contains q
very small percentage Of salt is taste
that is rapidly growing in this country.
and one which dairymen would do well
to cater to. Of course, as butter of this
description will not bear long keeping,
it must of necessity command a higher
price than that which can be held to
meet the demand of the market. On
this account its manufacture will be re-
stricted to diaries that are situated
within relatively short distance of GER
tain great centres Of consumption. In
this city the demand for this species of
man and French population, is very
great, but as mentioned above, the Hk-
ing for this article is rapidly growing
among those with whom the taste is not
an inherited one. Indeed, it only needs
a short sojourn in an inland town or on
q farm in this country to become aware
of the strong liking that exists for but
ter of an exceedingly salt variety. There
may net be the least difficulty in obtain
ing butter that is fresh as regards time,
but the landlsdy of village boarding
house, or the wife of farmer, cannot
understand the liking that her guests
have for what to her is an exceedingly
insipid article of food. Another cir
cumstance that must add to the cost Of
butter with which little or no salt is
worked, is the fact that much greater
degree of care is required in its making.
Salt. when plentifully used, is a notori-
Gus disguiser of imperfections, while, on
the other hand, impurities can be de-
tected in strictly unsalted butter that
are not apparent in the milk. For this
reason the utmost cleanliness in the man
ufacture is necessary, and though what
Is known as q naturally cold hand for
touching butter is often spoken of as
highly desirable, it is much better to
have it made in such manner that di-
rect contact with the hand is unneces-
sary. A device, which seems to have
originated in Holster, has recently been
introduced into one or two of the fancy
diaries in the State of Massachusetts,.
This is rapidly-rotating separator, built
upon the principle of centrifugal ma
chine in sugar refinery. The fresh

revolutions the cream is in minute or
two separated from the thin milk; presses
are then used which squeeze out all tie
Tactic acid that is to be found in the
buttermilk. By this process unsalted
butter can be made which will, by care
full keeping, retain its good qualities for
some little time. No doubt, as the de-
mand increases, facilities for meeting it
will be found and applied, as Americans
are never backward in adapting means
to ends; but under the most favorable
conditions, butter of this kind will COM
mand price fully so per cent. higher
than that demanded for ordinrrY grades.
