Hartford, Ohio County, Kentacky.

C0rrespoRdeRce HngesriIle PtuiadeaieT.
arrived at this place ON Wednesday
morning, and wishing to take In the
situation of affairs, before i began the
performance of letter. have delayed
until, fear, it will be too late for inser-
ton in your paper for this week. s..s
Hartford is n live town, and her peo-
pie are first-class. All classes seem to
be employed, and well contented with
their calling, and every one is proud of
their growing young city. A new and
superb school building is the praise
of nearly every one you meet. The
structure is very slightly. and from the
external appearance, and the reported
internal arrangement, 10 has been built
remarkably cheap. ft is a larger build
ing than the one Mt Hawesville, and is
much more imposing in architectural
style, and the cost, building, furniture,
etc, does not exceed the amount ours
cost. With this school advantage, to-
gether with the other advantages,
Hartford cannot faIl to continue pros
porous, inviting and a gOOdly place for
an earthly tabernacle.
/ found on my entry into the hall Of
justice, quite number Of able legal
gentlemen, all Of whom seemed pleased
to greet me in their midst. A more
courteous bar Is no where tn be found.
During my sojourn 50 far, have OBJ
served that the very best Of social and
professional amenities exist throughout
the bar, and all of them seem to have
fair share of business. On last Monday
the various candidates for Circuit Judge
and Commonwealth Attorney, made
their announcements. Some Of them
made quite lengthy addresses. / was
sorry to learn that his honor Judge Jas.
Stuart, saw proper to announce himself
an independent candidate for Circuit
Judge. From what had heard before
/ left Hawesville, i was Impressed with
the belief that he intended to abide the
action of the Democratic party 1t
was so declared by his friends before the
primary election was called, and WAS
so understood after the call In Owens
boro, the day the call was made, 50 i
had understood. His refusal to do 30 II
very unfortunate for the party, as we'll
as himself, and i would fain hope he
may reconsider the matter. The party
needs all such men as Judge Stuart, and
his chances for success would doubtless
be better in the party than out Of IL,
AS he has seen proper to refuse identity
with the party, and to antagonize q
regular party nomination, he cuts him
self loose from every claim of support
from Democrats and thereby lessons
his chances for further official prefer
ment. For Judge Stuart personally and
as a jurist, We have very high regard,
but at time when the very life Of the
country rests in q well organized De-
mocracy, he cannot complain il Demo-
crats, though his lifelong friends, shall
cast their votes for party organization
and for the nominee Of the party.
By the way, i liked 10 have over
looked any mention Of the Ohio Sui
phur Springs. These Springs have
passed into the hands of a new eompa-
nv, to-wit: Messrs. Silas Dean, DIR. j.
II. Taylor, Henry Herr and David
Morton, and they are now erecting n
large hotel and are preparing to make
their springs an attractive watering and
pleasure-seeking place. Ii IS entirely
practical for them TO do so. The water
Is Of high order incidentally, and the
grounds and surroundings are capable
of being converted into all that the
most fastidious pleasure-seeker, or the
most respondent health-seeker, could
desire. f
Lest my letter becomes too long,
stop. Yours, r. Y. b.
