give it the preference over all other BrandieS,

preached ut times, and in his dscOurses often
declaimed earnestly against all kinds OF strong
drink. When advised to try
Reigart's Old Brandy,
In his case, he looked up with astOnishment,
but after hearing of its wonderful effects in
the cases of some of his near acquaintances, he
ut last consented to follow our advice. He
used the Brandy faithfully and steadily; the
first bottle giving him an appetite, and before
the second was taken he was IA sound man. with

A Fearful Fall.


About 10 o'clock this morning Rev. Je-
rome Lindcmuth, pastor Of St. Pauls
NJ. E. church, made very narrow
escape from death. Repairs are being
made at the church, and the carpenters
have torn away the banisters protecting
the stairway leading from the vestibule of
the basement to the vestibule of the church
proper. Mr.. Lmdemuth was standing
in the upper vestibule, and forgetting for
a moment that the railing had been re-
moved, he stepped backward and plunged
headlong to the floor below, striking heav-
lily upon the lower step Of the stairway, be-
tween the wall and the newell post. In his
descent his clothing caught in some of the
spikes which held the railing before it was
removed and tore his coat into shreds. To
this circumstance, perhaps, Rev. Linde-
muth owes his comparative safety from
injury for it would appear to be almost
impossible for as heavy man as he is to
suffer so fearful fall and escape without
having any bones broken. He is badly
bruised, however, and complains of pain in
his arm and side.

BURGLARY AND Robbery.
An Old Couple Robbed Of 0117.


Last night about midnight burglar
broke into the residence of Christian Smith,
at West Willow, and stole therefrom s117
in cash. Mr.. Smith, who is about SO
years of age, sleeps upstairs, and his wife,
almost as old, sleeps down stairs, and a
sister-in-law, Mrs. Isaac Smith, who lives
near by, is in the habit of sleeping with
the old lady. Last night Mrs.
Isaac Smith was awakened by
the noise made by the burglar, but think
ing it was old Mr.. Smith, she went up to
his room to see what he wanted. Then
she discovered that the noise came from a
down stairs room adjoining the one she
had just left. She notified the old gentle
man of her suspicious that thieves were
in the house, but he was too feeble to at
tempt to interfere with them. Mrs. Isaac
Smith then blew the dinner-hOrn, and
Jacob Kreider, neighbor, soon came to
their assistance. But the thief had es-
capped and an investigation Of the premises
showed that he had taken all the money!
Mr.. Smith received the money on Saturday
and it is believed the thief is some one who
was aware of the fact.

cd during the present century.
We have heard very little about the
proposed extension Of the Paducah and
Elizabethtown railroad to Cairo, but
can readily see wherein the extern
sion would prove mine of profit
to the owners of the road. In discussion
of the matter the Blandvile Press has this
to say: THE Elizabethtown and Paducah
railroad is to be extended to Cairo, via
Blandvilc Let it come right along from
Paducah to Mayfed creek, thence down
the valley Of that creek distance of TWEEN,
~ miles on level ground already graded
for the track. The white oak which
abounds along this route will furnish the
ties and all necessary timbers for construc.
ton of this road. The gravel hills al Ocent
will furnish material, in lavish protusion,
for fills, raising the road bed above the
water level at hhc highest stage, ballasting
tracks, foundations for dcpots, etc. What
q wind fall it will be for our county. A
good railroad travcrslng Ballard county
from cast to west, running about the center
and furnishing facilities for travel and
transportation for the great mass OF our
people to the marts and markets OF the
world. Think of it. A Ballard county
farmer, can put his hogshead of tobacco
on the cars ut Blandvilc or other depot
most convenient and in three days he can
land it in Macon, Mobile, Charleston, New
Orleans Richmond, Baltimore, New York
| or Boston"
