The recent heavy rain fall has broken
the dam of the Versailles fsh-pond, and
many of the fine fish will be lost.

ments and dismissed cases. They re-
port the Jail in more healthy conditi on
that it has been for years. Thanks to
Uncle Billy.
We have never seen such a rpsh for
valentines as the Post-ofice corner pre-
sented last Saturday. The building was
literally packed from early morning un-
til night. The clerks, l presume, are
thankful that the day is passed.
We have now two declared candidates
for the Office of Mayor. The old war
horse and present incumbent, J. It.
Frazier and Mr.. G. NJ. Johnson. They
are both clever gentlemen, but there is
no Judging how the vane will stand
when the storm is over.
The colored man, Mat. Taylor, ar
rested few days since with set of har-
ness in his possession, was sent on for
further trial in the sum of 5000. Mat
seems to be bad fellow. He escaped
from the Work-house a short time since,
for which he was fined $40 and costs.

Vine street, has dissolved, Mr.. J. w.
Elkin retiring. He has purchased the

Strauss corner, near the new Phoenix
Hotel where he can be found by his
many friends. and where they can be
supplied with choice goods at reasonable
prices. .....
On Saturday our attention was called
by DR.. Hagyard to the inspection of
what had been double-headed calf.
Two perfect heads, having each two ears,
eyes and nostrils. The heads were united
at the neck, and with the exception of a
curved spinal column like other animals
of the bovine kind. The mother of the
calf belongs to Major Bullock, and has
three times before born twins.
The February term of the Fayette
Circuit Court was closed on Saturday
evening. 1t has been a term of great
interest, and some hard, if not too severe
decisions rendered. Mr.. Fegle received
his sentence calmly, though with pallid
face. The public regard his term Of fif-
teen years in the State Prison as unjust.
His counsel made application for a new
trial but was refused. A bill of excep-
tions was filed Saturday night, and bis
case will be taken before the Court of
Appeals.
