LORENA,S LOVER.
n istory of the Song that Charmed all
Hearts SOnse Twenty Year, Ago.

About the year 1853 there appeared in
the musical circles of the West a song
which, for twelve years, had n run rare
ly attained by popular melodies. The
music had u peculiar charm, the words
were singularly touching, and their
length, extending to eight long verses,
suggested to the reader story back OF
them. In fact, the extreme pathOs OF
the words contributed rs much, per-
haps, AS the music to give the compost
tiOn its wonderful success. 1t was sung
everywhere, i'm parlors, i'm concerts, ON
the street and in the camps of the con-
tending armies. In the Northern army
it was Immensely popular, and it found
It's way South through Louisville and
Cincinnati, and during the rebellion it
was the only piece sung i'm the Confed-
crate camp. Everywhere was Lore
na." A steamer ON the Ohio was
named LOrena, engines on Western
roads were called LOrena, and a person
now sometimes meets i'm society young
ladies named LOrena, called that by
mothers twenty years ago. That the
song had story nearly every one ia
miliar with it supposed correctly, and it
may not be uninteresting at this late
day to admirers of the famous melody
to give the facts i'm the love affair.

HOOVER HILL, Dec. 4.

Editor HeroLi:
After an illness of several weeks du-
ration, we again assume the liberty Of
penning a few items for your excellent
paper.
Mr.. Ras Herin, of near Pleasant Ridge,
Is recovering from very severe attack
Typhoid fever-which seems somewhat
prevalent i'm this section of the country.
The wife and two daughters Of Mr..
James MOsley, of Mclean county, are
paying Mr. Silas Shown and lady of our
neighbOrhOOd, visit this week.
Mrs. Frances HumpstOn, of the Hill,
happened to n severe accident not long
since, and. strange to say, too, by
wagon axle falling on her head Ii
seems that Mr.. +. T.. Hoover or some
one of his constituents, who were enga-
ged, at the time, repairing wagon, had
very carelessly inclined one Of the axles
against the shOp-doOr, of course, not ex-
pecting anything of serious nature to
he the result; but Mrs. H., by chance,
called out at the shop that morning 1--WE
suppose to give an account of the nice
yield of feathers Mrs. Nancy Kings
geese produced last picking) and while
seated in the door the axle fell, striking
her directly ON top of the head which
inflicted severe wound, producing un-
conciOusness for short time. She Is
out again, We learn.
The good people Of this community
(MethOdist) are erecting new church
a short distance west of the famous old
school house, White Oak, which, we trust,
will prove of much benefit to the eom-
munity. Its matter Of high impor-
tance now that the Hoover Hill people
should be extremely proud Of their siIu-
alton. Churches are building up rapid.
ly around us, schools first class; but not
only this, We can claim the honor OF
being centrally located between the
tiOurishing little villages, Beda and Blu
ford. which are alive with business just
now. The latter especially is receiving
valuable improvement. Messrs. Geo.
and +. NJ. Hoover are constructing
neat dwelling ut that place which they
will occupy as soon as their corn anu
Touring mill Is completed, which we
apprehend will be at no distant future.
Success to Hoover x Co., as their mill,
when put i'm operation, will Ike II great
advantage to the citizens of this section
of country.

CANEYvILLE, KY, Dee. 4th.

CANEyvILLE, KY, Dec. 4th.
Eiaor Herald:
No weddings.
A ball occasionally.
Our young and sprightly widower,
Mr.. Weave Barnes, invited several young
ladies to sup with him on his birthday
South Caneyville has n drug store.
Some time ago the citizens Of this
place east vote In favor of the law of
Local Option, and they now have it In
the strictest sense of the phrase. We
take local to mean confined to a partic-
ular place, that is, the whisky must be
confined to one or two houses and sold
by individuals called druggists. Option,
We think, means choice, that IL, Is OPP
tiOnary with the buyer, how much he
takes, a glass, pint, or gallon, just as
his appetite may, at the time, demand.
One Of our druggists here can neither
read nor write. He keeps few drugs
and great deal of whisky. He seems
to take great pleasure i'm waiting ON his
customers, but those desiring medicine
have the trouble to examine the labels,
point out the medicine, tell him the
price, &c. When he sells q drink for
ten cents, if he does not get the money,
straight lines. Why this man above
Others is allowed this privileges ques-
tiOn that naturally arises in the minds
of many. Well, we do not know; We
can only draw conclusions from sur
rounding circumstances. In the first
place, we are sorry to say that this man
IL backed here by some of the leading
and most influential men OF the COM
h. 90. tsl- lrsv
themselves and like to have it convent
ent. 1t may be possible that those in
vested with power to stay his hand, are
afraid of stepping ON the toes Of those
influential men.
Another nuisance is that the Grand
jury did not do its duty while i'm session
before them, but not being interro-
gated, the witnesses did not volunteer
information that would lead to indict-
ment.
Now, worthy gentlemen, we want to
ask you why did you not ask witnesses
the same questions I'm regard to this case
gard to similar cases? Why did you i'm
this particular case withhold all ques-
tiOns calculated to elicit answers that
would bring about an indictment?
All, worthy jurors, you little thought
that this man you were handling 50
lightly would turn again and rend you (;
but hear, now, what he says of you. He
comes home bOasting of his success, say
ing that he took a supply Of whisky up
and watched for chances to get jurors
out to treat them. He names one that
he says he treated several times even
i'm the court hall. If his statement be
true, we have only this to say, there
may have been some worthy men in
that body, but it is evident that they
were i'm bad company. Just think of it,
readers, man who will suffer himself
to be Influenced thus, being placed ON
bench to decide questions of life or
death. &. b. T.. A. II. +. G.

Frsensl.hsp ss the Fassstly.

1t is undoubtedly true that, although
many things that render life precious
to US are found i'm the family friendship,
as We commonly understand it, Is not
often among them. There are strong
ties of mutual interest and affection,
based partly upon natural and instinct
i've feelings, partly ON the habit of close
and constant intercourse, and partly ON
the duties, responsibilities and depen-
denotes which these relations involve.
But when We look for friendship, either

ions on all subjects and at any time,

had made II long speech to n large au-
dience, and over exertions is supposed
10 have lead to the cause.

ton. In early life he went to Michigan

ness he accumulated a large fortune,

piration Of his term of service IL the

arunt, Secretary Of the Interior, and
up to the end Of Grants term discharg-
cd the dinieult duties Of that Office
with entire satisfaction to the country.
