Hon. J. S. Pitlc:
have Just received your Telegram,
informing me of the death Of your ven
cradle father, and age and miirmity
only, prevents my attending the funer-
al ohsequips of the dearest and best
friend of my youth, and taking "A las;
look ut that kind, honest intelligent
face, 50 indelib!y stamped on my memo
ny.
well remember when your father
first came to Hartford At that day
the population was much disposed to
rowdyism, hut he soon became nOticea-
bile for his strictly, moral and gcntecl
department., and the more orderly and
moral. sought and cultivated his ar-
quaintance among others my father,
who lived "A few miles from town, m
vitcd him to visit our home. |, who
up to that time, had had no kind
mentor, WAS facinatcd with his superior
qualities, and sought his advice. He
directed mo Ia a course of studies, ten
dercd me the use of his library and H.
nally became his law student To
me he always acted the par; of an elder
brother; To him | always looked up ~
the bright eXcmplar OF everything that

all my experience in Il long life, | have
never met with more cha~tc. thor
oughly cultivated intellect. either in
law, history, poetry ar the arts and
sciences.
Ii j. almost needless To say that he
soon became the peer of the hest law
yers at our bar, and even the moral
and literary taste of our town became
decidedly improved during his >oiourn
among uS.
.\ristidce said that mortal, vainiy
strove To initiate the Gods ia Power
and greatness, whilst they neglected
the only attribute, of Deity which they
could acquire, that of Justice. Judge
Pirtle was truly G0dlike in that attri-

intelligence combined, [ would select his

many worthy citizens, but never PER-

consigned 10 the grave, - much true
worth, a. whcn VIM. Eondrek and
Henry Pirtle died.
To your esteemed mother, tender my
heartfelt sympathy and coincidence,
yet she surely has the highest solace in
the reflection, that during all these de

trust, declarations and general corrup-

brought disgrace on 50 many house.

IITCHFIELD, Ky, March II, 1850.
Eiitor Hcrad:
We Were likely tu forge; that March
was upon us till he was gone. but he
paid Us all arrearagcs last Saturday by
giving us most terrific gale all day;
scattering fences, unroofing houses and
barns, blowing down trees, &c,, &c.
We have been fortunate at Litchlield
: in not being troubled with criminals
long al Il time When they are arrested
and put in Jail we always let them get
out the first chance. \ man named
Russell, confined in Jail here awaiting
trial for shooting with intent To kill,
escaped from Jail one night last week
10y picking the lock of his cell, then
/ picking hole through the brick wall
and letting himself down from the
second story bv blanket. This makes
about the fifth prisoner which has
escaped custody here within about a
wear, or a little more; and another one
feigncd lunacy was sent away TO the
asylum, where he escaped custody in n
few days after arriving there. This
/ plan may save expense TO the State and
county. but il cmboldens criminals IN
the commission Of crime. Let the Jail
he kept securely.
The Methodist church in Litchfirld
has purchased n new organ.
If the number Of drlImmers who
visit our town is any indication of thrift
} IN business, our merchants are certainly
doing a thriving business. We have
had lots Of them lately.
! Prof. HouSh, representing Baldwin
d Co, dealers in organs and pianos i'm
/ Louisville, has been in town several
/ days this week, and in connection with
/ Prof. Pfrimmer, Of Indiana, ON both
Monday and Tuesday evenings gave en-
tertainmentS in both vocal and instru-
mental music AT the Methodist church
/ Prof. HouSh is Il fine singer and per-
| former, and very genial, afiahle gen
tleman. Prof. pfrimmer is endeavoring
to organize IL class in vocal music here
| The Prof. cvincesa thorough knowledge
of the principles of music, and we earn
/ estly hope he will succeed in organizing
a good class here. Our people sing well,
but can he greatly improved.

The beautiful Spring weather, we
think. has surely come ut last aud ifTie

will doubtless he brought up for an eX-
PLANTATION.
Very little gardening has been done
in consequence of too much wet wealth
or, but things will I've rushed into the
ground now.
One thing | would advise every per-
son to do, is to 90 or send some one to
the HERALD office and get quart of the
Early Prolific corn to plant in their
gardens as well rs their corn fields. ID
is undoubtedly an improvement on corn
in every respect. You will have earlier
and more tender corn to eat, the Weld
is much greater than our common corn
and another object of great importance
is, YOU can raise two crops the same
year, planting the second crOpafter wheat
is cut, and it then natures as soon rs
the common corn. Ii only costs YOU
twenty-five cents to try it and is more
than worth the money
Miss Mary Pcndleton, one of Hart
ford's charming bellies, WI. in town last
week visiting relatives. Come again
and stay longer.
Miss Ca. Shull, of Cromwell, WAS in
town last week

Mr.. |. i. Barnard is now in Louisville
laying in a large assortment of Spring
goods. II YOU don't believe ii call on
him when he returns and he'll convince
You.
Last Saturday was the regular Police
Court day, and not one lawyer here
why il was cannot be accounted forum
less they were all so busily engaged in
Criminal Court they could not come.
There was a iull docket and a lawyer
could have gotten ut least a dozen fees.
There was not Il candidate here either
why was il | wonder.
Our little town is still improving, il il
will only keep on so, il will some day
he Il place of note. We have u clever
community, all worry along quietly and
of course attend to their own business.

Thus only four States furnish POO votes,
not one of which can be turned aside to
any other candidate. The whole num-
Der of votes in the Chicago convention
will bc 756, and 379 will nominate. The
delegations of Texas, Arkansas, Massa-
chusetts and Kentucky are already As
sured for Grant, and all the indications
now are that Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida,
Mississippi and South Carolina will send
Grant delegations. Long before the
convention meets il will he clear that
his vote on the first ballot will not fall
short of 800. We would like To have
some informed person make an arith-
metical showing of the strength of Mr..
Blaine or Mr.. Sherman.

Editor H,raLd:
Some of the farmers in this cOmInu-
nifty are done sowing oats. Some few
have commenced breaking ground for
corn. We have had one week of fine
weather for business.
There has been great deal of talk
about roads, and on the roads, too. II
there had been more work and less talk
on the roads expect our roads would
now he in better conditions; and if our
road-hands could not get any fire-water
there would he less talk. Oh just think
of the evil that is growing out of the
licensed devils traps. Men, for the love
of money, will ask for license to deal
ont whisky to their fellow-men, make
them drunk; then the man that gave
them the privilege to sell the bait, will
issue writ and have the fallen prey
arrested, put in Jail and fined. Now,
there is In our county town five of those
traps set Ivy order of our officials. The
barkeeper plucks and the officers pluck
until all OF the poor fallen man = money
is gone. Shame on the man that gives
Il license. Shame on the men that sell
whisky. Shame on the men that make
il, and shame on the government that
allows il to be made. Shame, poverty
and degradation come on those that
drink the accursed drink.
The health of our community is good
at this time-hOpe il may continue good.

But while we contend for the MAIN
tenance of rights and powers Of the
States, we must not forget that the gov
eminent created by the Constitution of
the United states was established by
the fathers in order to form n more per-
feet union, establish justice, insure do
nestle tranquility, provide for the COM
mon defense, promote the general well
fare and secure the blessings of liberty
to the American people forever The
objects of the Government are national.
and it was designed to effectuate nation
al ends alone. That Government, its
powers rightly understood, ought not to
he and is not an object of jealousy to
the Democratic party. In my Judgment
the contest Of lSSD is not less important
