CHURCH HILL.

AS previously advertised through
the columns of your valuable paper
the Grange Stock sale, came off yes
ter'lay. Although 1t was not extern
sively known, there was a goodly num-.
Der in attendance, among the rest from
a distance, were Mr.. w. Ii. Barr, the
Cattle King from Hardin Co., Ky,
Mr.. Geo Petit of Caldwell Co.Mr.
II. I. Yates of Union Co. Mr.. II. III.
Bryant and Maj. Jno. Blankenship Of
Trigg, besides q large number of home
buyers. There was not as much stock
on sale, as was expected owing to the
busy season. Several members of the
Grange were not there who had pre-
viously registered stock, owing to the
fact that they were cutting wheat.
The prices obtained were satisfacto-
ry, but few reflections being made.
The good matrons Of Church Hill
Grange fully sustained their former
reputation, kindly accompanying their
husbands to the sale, and seeing that
all were sumptuously fed. Such din
ner! Enough to have fed three OF four
times the number, and prepared in the
best style, known to the culinary art.

actual sales that took place. The

Shooting Alligators in Florida.

A Savosota (Fla.) correspondent of
the Louisville Cosvier-J0urndl writes
About n mile below where we first
came upon the creek, and two miles
from where it empties into the bay, we
reached tide water, and Jack told us 10
look out now for gators. Sure enough,
we saw two monster old saurians lying
out on the bank summing themselves.
They took the alarm, however. while
we were yet long way off, and plunged
into the water. As we neared the spot
we saw several Others swimming in diff
ferent directions in the same hole. They
all disappeared when they saw us, so
we laid down our luggage and sat in the
shade of tree to await results. In a
few minutes one stuck his bead out of the
water not more than thirty yards away,
whereupon Capt. S. gave him charge
OF buckshoU in the vicinity of the eye
and ear. He lashed the water into
foam in his gyrations and sank out of
sight, probably mortally wounded.
Presently another one put his eye out of
the water to look at us. He was near
the opposite shore, perhaps fifty yards
from where we sat. let go at him,
and although scored palpable hit,
did not kill him. A gator always tells
you, unerringly, whether you have
killed or only wounded him. If
wounded, he plunges and thrashes
around Mt lively rate for few seconds
and sin ks out of sight, but if killed dead.
he performs about the same series of
voluIions, turns on his back and dies.
remaining on the top ofthe water. This
is the time to go for him if you wish to
capture him, for he only lies on the top
OF the water fifteen to thirty minutes,
when the air escapes from the lungs, and
he sinks. 1t is very difficult, indeed, to
Kill them on dry land, nowadays, for
they are shot at so much that they are
exceedingly wild. But whenever you
flush one from the bank and he goes
into the water, sit down and rest, and
you may depend upon it you will have
to wait but a few minutes before he will
put his large black eyes out of the water
and look around TO see if YOU are still
there; then you have fine target for
your rifle. The smoke had scarcely
cleared away after my last shot. when
athrd gator looked up near us and in
stantly caught n right-ieder in his
optic that turned him over. We then
supposed we had made it SO warm for
them that no others would show them
selves for awhile, and started on
down the stream. The captain and /
had gone little ahead, and Jack, who
had not yet started, called to us and
said Here's another 'gatorp l went
back, and there, sure enough, was an
old fellow, swimming along down the
creek as unconcernedly as though he
had never heard the report of n gun in
his life. | waited until he came within
about fifty feet of me, and then gave
him one i'll the leeward eye. lie turned
two or three sommersaults, and stopped
on his back with one forefoot sticking
out of the water. We left him there as
II warning TO his kind not TO tempt the
deadly accuracy of Stevens rifle. As
we were now thoroughly satsd with
this class of sport, we returned home.

CelIuIOid

Celluloid is one of the most remark n
BILE OF modern inventions, and bids fair
to be not less extensively or variously
used than vulcanized rubber. 1t is pro-
duced. says the Journal of Industry, by
mixing gum camphor with a pulp of
gun-cotton, and subjecting the combi-
nation to a high degree of pressure and
heat. The result is n hard product of
extraordinary toughness and elasticity.
1t can be made plastic again and nodded
into any required form. Any color can
be given to it by the use of coloring
matter during the process of manufac-
ture. The uses to which celluloid is put
are numerous, and are constantly in
creasing. 1t is extensively used us II
substitute for ivory, which it resem mbles
to closely that it is sometimes difficult
to detect the difference. 1t is said TO
equal ivory in strength and durability,
and not to warp or discolor with time.
1t has proved II good material for piano
and organ keys, billiard balls, backs of
brushes, looking-glass frames, handles
Tor knives, forks, umbrellas and many
other articles. 1t is much cheaper than
ivory, and IS claimed to be better for
decorative purposes. 1t is also used
with much success to initiate tortoise
shell, malachite, amber, pink coral and
other costly materials. In imitation of
tortoise-shell, il is made into combs,
napkin-rings, match-boxes, card-cases,
etc. limitations of pink coral jewelry
are made and sold ut prices much below
those of the genuine The same is true
OF limitations OF malachite and amber.
Mouth-pieces for pipes, cigar lders,
etc, are common. 1t is also used ms a
substitute Tor porcelain in making dolls,
heads. The frames of eyeglasses
opera-glasses and spectacles are made of
1t. More recently it has come into use
in combination with linen, cotton or
paper, for shirt bosoms, cuffs and col
lars. The material has hard. glisten-
ing surface, like that of newly laundried
linen; is elastic and impervious to nois
ture, and when soiled can be renovated
with moistened sponge.

The Worlds Telegraphs,

The system Of tclegraphs in Europe
comprised. AT the end OF 1877. s6S, 800
miles of lines and 769, 76S mile, of wire.
There were 10 627 government telegraph
stations. The number OF employ ees
amounted TO 6l,9n. and the number OF
instruments to Al ,70S. The number of
paid messages was in round numbers
$4,000 600, of which 1000, 900 were in
ternatiOnal dispatches. The number of
other kilograms forwarded amounted to
about 100000. NJ. Newman Spallart
gives the following statistics for the
other parts of the world: In America
ilS75 TO 1870, lli,I57 miles of wire :;
1856 stations; % 600 0I0 kilograms. In

colors the stomach and its delicate
beings. After death, upon examination
of the stomach, it can be told with ccr-
tainty whether the person was a use of
tobacco or not.
An alcohol drunkard. if he tries to re-
form, must fight tobacco, too, if he has
been addicted TO it. 1t is a medical fact
that in case of reformation from strong
drink, if the patient continues to use to-
bacco he is generally victim of the cup
again in three years or less. This is so
near settled fact that it is so claimed
by some. The nervous system, under
the influence of tobacco, has u craving
for alcohol which sooner or laterrefuses
to be denied.

Hunt the Ring-A Winter Evening

A circle is made. and piece of tape or
string is obtained sufficiently long to
reach all around the inside. A ring is
then slipped on to it, and the ends are
tied together. Each of the players takes
hold of the tape or string with both
hands, and the person whom lot or
choice has marked out for the victim,
standing in the middle of the circle. is
next made to turn round three times
(without shutting his eyes or submitting
to any other Disadvantage, and is then
let loose to hunt for the ring. The oh.
iect of the rest Of the players is, of
course, to prevent his catching it, and
they pass it from one to another, cover
ing it with their hands as rapidly as
possible. II n constant backward and
forward motion of the hand is kept up,
it will be found extremely difficult to
discover where it is so as to stop it be-
fore it disappears. As in the fairy tale,
1t will often be seen 10 CLEAN, but only
to disappear when an effort is made to
grasp it, and the victims only chance is
the greatest rapidity in opening and
shutting every hand round the circle, to
each of which he has immediate access
as soon as he has touched it.. 1t is un-
fair to pass the ring from under hand
after it has been touched and before it
has been opened, and the player in whose
possession it is finally found becomes in
urn the victim.
