Haasoss Club.

I Several distinguished speakers
were invited TO be present last Friday
night and address the people at the
court house, with view to organic.
inga Hancock club. Gen. Cassius
NJ. Clay, Of Madison county, was the
first 10 speak. Ills speech was d.
rected principally to Republicans,
showing to them why they should
leave the Republican party, and vote
for the Democratic ticket. The
speech was an able effort and was a
clear, forcible exposition OF the prin-
ciples OF the Democratic party as
enunciated In the Cincinnati plat
form.
After Gen. Clay followed Maj. A.
E. Richards, of Louisville, elector for
the State at large. His remarks were
characterized by eloquence aud cru
dition. lie showed himself familiar
with the issues Of the campaign and
compared both the private and off,
cial rccords Of standard bearers OF the
two parties, showing The utter unfit
ness OF Garfield and the eminent
qualifications of the noble soldier
statesman Hancock, for the Office Of
President of the United States. He
spoke nearly a hour and was fire.
quently interrupted by outbursts of
applause. Maj. Richards is an earn
est and eloquent speaker and the BAN
ner of KcntuckyDemocracy which
has been placed In his hands will not
be allowed 10 trail in the dust, but he
will bear Il on to victory with the
same heroic chivalry that he fought
the battles of the South when Han
cock and Leo were making names
that will live in the hearts of Ameri-
leans, irrespective of party and Sec
ton, when all recolections of the bit.
ter past and sectional differences are
buried and forgotten, and the north
and south src once more united in the
bonds of brotherly love.
Col. L. Polk johnson, OF Bowling
Green. closed the speaking with q
short speech which abounded in
humor aud depth of thought. lie ar
raigned and denounced Garfield for
his Scorrupt political record and
proved every assertion by Rcpubli-
can testimony. lie spoke only about
half an hour and made quite q favor.

Niagara Dry.

"The Falls of Niagara was dry
for whole day." said the Rev. DR..
T. B. Fuller, Of Hamilton, Ontario,
in recent lecture. The accuracy
of the story was questioned, and
now the clergyman publishes the
sworn statements of several per.
Sons that say they saw the pheno.
menon. They say that it occurred
on March 81, IS48. At 8 o'clock in
the morning 30 little water was
dripping over, that . mau and his
daughter walked half way across
from the Canadian shore, near the
precipice. The girl stuck q pole
into a crevice of rock, and left a
handkerchief flying from the top.
Not content with this feat, they
went half a mile above the fall,
and rode part the way across the
bed Of the river in a wagon. Others
did similar things. The jagged
rocks at the bottom below the falls
we're exposed. This strange condi-
ton lasted until nightfall, when
the stream began rapidly to swell,
and before morning was a. large as
usual. DR.. Fuller's theory 10 as
follows "The wind bad been blow.
ing down Lake Erie, which 10 only
about 80 feet deep, and rushing .
great deal Of the water from it over
the falls; 1t then suddenly changed,
and blew this little water (compar.
stively speaking) up to the western
portion Of the lake; ut this juncture
the ice on Lake Erie, which had
been broken up BY these high winds
got jammed between Buffalo and
the Canadian side, and formed Q
dam which kept back the waters Of
Lake Erie"
