Kentucky elections.

The municipal elections in Kentucky passed
OF quietly. Nominations were made by the
Republicans in very few counties, and the vote
polled was light. Circuit Judges and Common
wealth's Attorneys were elected in eachhof the
eighteen judicial districts, and Democrats are
elected IN at least fifteen. In the Eighth Con-
gressionl District the Democratic primary
election nominated Phil. B.. Thompson, jr., for
reelection to Congress. Circuit Clerks, Sheriffs,
Magistrates, and Constables were elected in all
counties, and municipal officers in many cities
and towns. Democrats were elected generally.
Warren Calls, Democrat, is probably elected
Sheriff of Trimble County. In GarTard County,
Faulker, the Republican candidate for Clerk,
was elected by 400 majority. Adams majority
for Commemorative Attorney is 300: The re-
suit in, Louisville is the reelection OF, Judge
Stiles as Common Pleas Judge; Jackson as Cir
cult Court, and Hamilton as Sherff; all with
out opposition. Asher Caruth defeats Gen.
Basil Duke, the present incumbent, for Com
msonwealth's Attorney, At Falmout q strong
and vigorous contest was made by the indie
pendents and Republicans against the Democ-
racy, but, as usual, the Democracy was ~victori-
Gus, electing their full ticket by about $50 ma
Jointly. In Lewis County George M. Thomas,
Republican, carried the county by over 400 ma
jority. Jas. Aspa;ks, Republican, was elected
Circuit Clerk. Thomas Wilson, Democrat,
was elected Sheriff. III

The Dismal Swamp.

I'D H-HE -h ~ .aEHft-- If. .-r-a NAsf.H
The Dismal Swamp, says an exchange,
is not vast bog sunk low q into the
ground into which the drainage of the
surrounding country flows On the con-
trary, it is above the level ground some
fifteen, or twenty feet, as was demon
strated by actual SURVEYS Instead of
being receptacle into which rivers and
streams. enter and flow it is, in reality,
an!immense reservoir that, IN its vast
spunge-llze bulk, gathers the waters that
fall from the heavens and pours them
into five different rivers, which flows on
ward to the sea. Amy one wouldinagine
that the 1s Dismal WAS q 'veritable
charnelhouse that spread its miasrna
throughout the. country. On the con-
trary it is the healthiest place upon the
American continent. The swamp Is
formed entirely of green timber. There
is absolutely no decomposed wood; one
sees large trees lying all aroundn the
forests and swamps. The two principal
woods that grow in the place are juniper
and cypress, which never rot. They fall
prone to the ground like other trees, but
instead of the wood decomposing it turns
into peat, and, lies indissoluble by air
and water for ages perfectly sound.
There is nothing in the swamp to create
miasma;e no rising of the tides and de-
composition of rank vegetables; no
marshes exposed to the burning rays Of
the sun. All is fresh and sweet, and the
air is laden with as sweet odors as the
fragrant woods in May, when the sweet
odors of the flowers mingle with the
pungent scent of! the pine ana dogwood.
In the ante-bellunas days all the planters
were anxious to hire their slaves to
shingle-makers in the swamps on ac-
count of its health Mr.. Reddick, a
well-known contractor, says he worked
a gang, of fifty hands fifty years in the
Dismal getting shingles, and in all thai
time there was not q single case of fever
and ague. I have seen numerous aft.
davits of overseers and contractors who
have lived in the swamp their whole life
time, and they never knew a death
caused by. miasma, or a solitary instance
of aguel and fever. The air is pure an6
sweet and the water tnged to a faint
wine hue by the juniper, is as Potents
medical drink as are the famous watering
places Of the Virginia mountain pass.
| 1t is often used by naval vessels going
on a long foreign cruise, on account Of
the healthful5 properties, and also be
cause it keeps fresh and clear for years
It is a. strong and in~vigorating tonic
with a very pleasant taste. isaGla' 2

About q year ago Silas Odds, of Unadilla, N.
T., married Amanda Harris, q daughter of Asa
Harris, a former proprietor of a travelling side
show exhibition. The marriage was a distaste-
full venture for both parties, and a separation
took place a short time ago. George McCum-
ber, . one-armed soldier, became enamored of
Amanda and sought an interview with her sep
arated husband, in which the latter resigned all
claims on his wife to McCumber. McCumber
then went to the woman's father and laid his
proposition before him. The two began to
argue the case and soon came to blows, when
Harris seized q pitchfork and stabbed McCum-
bsr several times in the side and head, infiict-
ing serious wounds. McCumber drew a re-
volver and fred three shots at Harris, none of
which took effect, Harris ran to the house and
seized . shotgun and fired at McCumber, but
h fired too high, and only a few of the shot
struck him, lodging in his head. He then
knocked him down with the butt of the gun.
Ihs injured man was hauled away in q wagon.

The Partner for Life

Many a man has, e his choice for .
meath him in the opinion Of the world,
and although love and pride might; have
struggled with him for . while, yetpride
triumphed, and he sought one from the
higher walks of life. In all the vicissi-
tudes of social existence, there is nothing
capable of mficting more certain misery
than is sure to follow such aqcourse. It
abstracts the general harmony OF our days,
mis-shapes our ends, shortens the length
of life, lessons the stature OF manhood,
and is, contrary tofthe divine instruction.
Of the Bible; for it declares where love
is there is peace, plenty and thriftiness.

believes he has o sure thing on the old man,
but thinks the woman is Bender's mistress, and
that they have killed his wife. The original
old Bender was a German, and had a big scar
on the center of the head. The prisoner at

mI.earr,ax. OF n Terr,b,e PLOT.

AT midnight q short time since an attempt
was made to blow up the Maple Grove Hotel,
West Jamaica, n. y, kept by Jacob Hatseworth.
His son Peter was married in the early part Of
the evening, and his friends were enjoying
themselves in the ballroom over the bar, when
they were startled by the falling of glass, and a
loud report, which shook the building, extin-
|oguishing all the lights in the house. The excite
ment for a few minutes was intense, and as
fssoon as possible q light was obtained, and an
examination made to discover the cause of the
noise. 1t was found that some person or per-
sons had placed giant powder under the stoop
at the east end of the house and then fired it
with a fuse, a piece Of which was found near
by. The stoop was torn away, the front door
blown of its hinges, windows broken, and the
entire siding of the house loosened, causing the
walls of the barroomt to fall and the bar fixtures
to break. The crockery in the closets was
broken and every wall in the house cracked.

it docs away with the FIN f,-smeke, oil, heat and

the letters received at the Dead Letter Office
Yesterday was one which was in a small way an
Internal machine. 1t was addressed to Henry
s. West, Pittsburg,s Pennsylvania, and posted
that city. As no such person could be found,
it was sent here. When ~opeledit was found to
contain an ounce of powder and several heads
Of pariof matches, all wrapped nearly in paper.
1t is surmised the sender of the letter believed
the force Of stamping would ignite the matches
and explode the powder, and thus injure
severely the face and hands of the postal clerk.

By the readjustment Of salaries Of Post
masters, just completed, q number Of new post
offices have been added to what is called the
Presidential iist"-that is, the receipts are
sufficient to give the Postmaster a salary Of
$1,000 or more, and he is appointed by the
President. Those receiving less salaries are
appointed by the Postmaster-Gener The
following is the number Of Presidential post
offices in the different States. 1t will be noted
