SUGAR GROVE, KY, March s, 1850.
Editor Herald:
Rather an unusual incident occurred
in the southern portion of this county,
in the section known as Pea Ridge.
One Of the families of that locality are
known by theeuphonious name, Belcher,
consisting of father, mother, two sons
and two daughters. The elder son,
John, had been worshipping at the
shrine of a young lady living just across
the county line, in Logan county, in the
section of country known as "Coon
Range" For quite number of years
John had continued to play the devoted,
but not long since (for reasons not
known to the public he ceased visiting
the fair Coon Ranger. Shortly after
John quit "hankerin arter" the Coon
Range beauty, whom we will call Miss
s., his brother, Nat began visiting
her, and pressed his suit so ardently and
vigorously that n trip to Russellville
was soon necessary. The proper legal
documents were procured, and on reach
ing home Nat exhibited them to father
and mother, with the statement that he
and the belle of Coon Range would
splice teams on the next Thursday.
Brother John heard the news and at
once became infuriated. His passion
was as sudden and fierce as the angry
storm-cloud, and his wrath like the
hurricane, he bore down on brother Nat,
who resented, and a desperate fight
ensued, which no doubt would have
been fatal but for the Intervention of
father, who finally succeeded i'm
separating them.
John left at once, for parts unllnown,
and all supposed he had fled the coun-
try, to evade the punishment for break
ing big hole into the peace of this
Commonwealth. Great preparations
were made at the Belcher mansion for
the reception of Nat and his beauteous
bride. To Nat the time sped slowly,
and he longed for the nuptial day. AT
last, the glorious light of dawn, on
Thursday morn, greeted the enraptured
vision of Nat, and i'm company with the
parson and few friends, Coon Range
was soon reached but, 10 the bird had
flown. Unlike young Lochinvar, broth
er John had gone at once to the domi-
cile of his former love, and renewed his
suit and pleaded his cause so well that
he awakened within her bosom, the
spark of first love that had long lain
dormant, and soon won her back from
Nat and they left for a more congenia
climate, probably. Tennessee, with q
view to become bone of one bone
flesh of one flesh. The parson was
dumbfounded He did not know what
kind of a return to make on the license
but happening on an old Sheriff, ht
I learned how and made it thus: "N6
property found TO satisfy the writ ol
Nat either, SO left Nat unsatisfied and
return the writ the same way"

Einor H,rdld:
We have been almost entirely water
bound for several weeksand not enabled
to get news from anywhere, therefore,
know of but little that is worth writing.
\ very few farmers have sown oats
those who have high ground. The bot
tom land will not he dry enough to SOW
for many days yet, provided 1t does not
rain soon. Oats are in demand at forty
cents per bushel.
Mr.. Jack Crahanc, sometimes called
"llash," has charge of the section mt
this place. We would like for him to
hash up something for the HERALD oc-
casionally like he used to'do.
Letter received from John NJ. Berry
a few days since, reports him in good
health and fine spirits. The beautiful
South seems to agree with him.
Mr.. - Hopkins, of OwensbOro, is
connected with Mr.. Ed. Wood i'm the
tobacco business here. Mr.. Wood has
shipped thirty hogshcads OF tobacco up
to this time, exactly Is many more as
all other parties have shipped from this

Old uncle JimmleStewart wa. in town
yesterday, looking rs young as he did
twenty years ago. He was born IN the
year 1904, and though in his seventy
seventh wear, bids fair to live his five
score. He was never known to he in
toXicated, never attended horse race,
swore an oath, played n cardor engaged
in anything but that which was lawful,
honorable and christian like. He is the
father of twelve children, nine still liv-
ing, all clever and honorable. He has
never acquired wealth, and that proba-
bly, accounts partly for his honorable
course through life. He lives in y
miles of Rosine, and has never made
his home outside his voting precinct
during the seventy-seven years He re-
members when not One-half the people
knew the day the Presidential election
came otf-never had any excitement
over elections. How different it is now.
The first vote uncle Jimmie cast for
President was for Clay. 'Twould be a
blessing for the country if we had few
more such men as uncle jimmie Stuart.
Mr.. John ii. Barnes has commenced
a four-months school at this place with
about thirty scholars.
Uncle John Naught deserves much
credit for his prompt twice daily trips
from Hartford To Beaver Dam during
the unusual bad weather this winter
There are few men who would hav,

should hold him in lasting remem
brance.

Editor Herald:
The miners have all resumed work,
and everything is working smoothly
both here and at Render mines.
The back water in Lewis creek flats
below town is falling slowly, but still
covers the bottoms several feet deep.
The water has damaged the farmers
considerably in the way of moving
fences. Mr.. Robert Southland has not
a sign of a fence left on the low part of
his farm. Expect the rails have taken
a trip down Green river. Mr.. Ed.
Southard told us the back water was
eleven inches higher than it was in 1867.
Mr.. Jno Deem, the blacksmith at
this place, took a trip West hunting a
new location, but has returned looking
well, and resumed his old place at the
anvil.
The residence of Mr.. Lee Fischer
burned on last Tuesday night, the 9th
INST. The family We're preparing to re-
tire between eight and nine o'clock,
when they discovered the fire in the
second story. Mr.. Fisher got his gun
and fired it to arouse the neighbors, but
failed To bring but one to his assistance.
The fire made such rapid Roadway that
it was all they could do to get the fam
lily out of the house, and the contents
are all total loss, but fortunate for Mr..
Fisher he had it insured.
Mr.. James Wakeland OF this neigh
borhood, has sold out and gone to make
him a new home in Missouri. Success
to you, James. Mr.. Jno. Long has also
sold out and removed to Missouri to
seek his fortune.
Mr.. Dave Duncan has purchased the
Loney farm, and will Immediately go
to improving 1t. Mr.. Duncan is an in
dustrious hard workingman and will no
doubt make rs successful farmer as he
did miner.
We met DIR. Jackson in town to-day
His mill on Lewis creek is still sub
merged i'm water; which is quite n
drawback to him sbut he will do II
driving business IA soon as the water
falls. During the high water the farm
ers have fioated numbers of saw-logs to
his mill, and we expect to see several
new houses and fences in the neighbor-
hood this coming season. The people
all seem to have "a spirit for improve
ment,ss and we hope to see our part OF
the county soon in high state of cul-
| tivatiOn.
The friends of the candidates for the
different offices to be elected this sum-
mer, are urging the claims of their IA
vorites. Clarence Hardwick seems to

cult Court Clerk, but we are somewhat
| divided about Sheriff.
