ELIzABETHTowN, 4

ELIZABETHTOWN, KY, March -
A singular ease is reported to me from
Meeting creek, this county, of the death
Of Tillman Pierce, a citizen of that
neighboIhOod. 1t seems that Mr.. Pierce
had been sick for some days, and all OF
his family were called together to wait
the approaching and every moment ex-
pected dissolution. One night he died,
and preparations were made to inter
him. He was washed and arrayed in
the apparel of death and placed in the
coffin, but before he could be laid away
in the tomb he astonished his family
(and nearly frightened them to death
also by rising up from the wooden en-
easement and speaking. He did not
wait to be questioned on the subject OF
his unseemly behavior for dead man,
but at once went into a description Of
the unknown world, and informed his
family that he had been to both Heaven
and hell, and that the former was place
of JOY unspeakable, while the latter was
dry climate and the weather rather
warm. He predicted that he would
live one day and again die, and that at
the end of the third day he would again
come to life, but would again die for
good. Sure enough, at the close of the
day he died again, but the further re-
suit of his predictions can never he
known, a. he was buried fathoms deep
after this second death, and the heavy
earth piled high above his funeral bier
precludes future demonstrations with
his mortal body. This Is received from
q. Washington Cundiff, who got il from
those eognizant Of the queer doings al
Mr.. Tillman Pierce's last hours ON earth.

Here we are again pen in hand, ea-

On Tuesday the 10th inst, we were
present to witness the tying Of the nup-
tial between David Boiler and Miss Mol

sine, officiating. May their union be
crowned with pleasure. Another we'd
ding on the tapis, of which We will
give you due and timely notice.
Jas. w. I4andrum's family is COM
posed of ten persons; in that family
they now have eight cases of measles
and six eases of mumps.
J. III. Wilson has received an outfit
for u saw mill, which he will have run

Ansel Wilson is making enough tan

Illinois Letter From q Former OHIO
County Man.


ATLANTA, Ills, March L., 1880.
Editor Herald:
left Ohio county twelve years ago
for Illinois, on horseback, came To Jack
son county where | remained for
three years; thence to central Illinois,
where | have spent the rest of the time.
This is a great State in many respects.
1t has wonderful.productive soil. Vast
quantities of corn are raised in this part
of the State and shipped northward.
Corn is the staple pO luct of this part
of the State. IL is wonderful how much
corn one hand and team can raise. He
can cultivate fifty acres, which will
average forty-five bushels per acre,
yielding him 2.2J0 bushels. The corn
crop for this State for the year 1879 is
estimated to be 305, ,Sl3,377 bushels, and
estimated TO be worth 81, ,4S3, 3,O52, so
you see this is Il great corn country.
Wheat-this is too far North for
wlelt, hence there is but little raised a.
the winters are too cold and ii is winter
killed.
Tobacco is not raised at all, or ut least
not to amount to much. The soil does
not suit, and the season is rather short.
Fruits-We have a very fine variety
of apples here, but peaches are an un-
ce tain crOp-the trees cannot stand our
cold winters. Small fruits, such as
| Strawberries, raspberries, currants and
grapes do well here, and II great many
Others too numerous to mention. All
kinds of vegetables do well here that
are incident to Kentucky. They also
take great interest i'm fine stock, horses,
cattle and hogs. Many of the farmers
raise large draft horses for the market
They always command good prices. A
great many cattle are fed here and ship
ped to the Chicago market. Every
farmer raises hogs for the market, and
a great many are shipped to the st.
Louis and Chicago markets and conf
Inand good prices.
Rents are high; when you rent for u
part of the crop, you pay from two
fifths to one-lialf, or for money, from
three to four dollars per acre. Price of
land is owing to quality and location !;
first-rate land well improved, can he
bought for $50 to 500 per acre.
Climate is very cliangable; we are
here on two extremes, North and South;
subject To very sudden changes in the
weather; though the health of the
country is GENERALLY good.
CHURCHES.
Almost every denomination is repre-
sented here; will speak of but one,
the NJ. +. Church, South; this church
was organized since the war. During
the war and before, many ministers and
churches assumed political attitude,
and took sides IN political partisanship.
The pulpits, sabbath after Sabbath,
were polluted and made to suhserve the
interests of their political party, to the
shameful neglect of the interest of im-
mortal souls. Under these circum-
stances many truly pious persons left
off attending church. They felt sOrely
grieved, being compelled to live with
out the means of grace; hence they
sent for ministers of the NJ. f.. Church,
South, to come and preach to them
this led them to the organization of that
church here, which is growing i'm men,
bers, and is in favor with the people.
t have written this to answer some
inquiries that have received.
Respectfully,
A. ID. HOOKER.

were submerged i'm water. Most all the
bridges i'm the county were more or less
injured by high water.
Measles has become epidemic in the
town of Lewisport. | was informed
yesterday that there were 80 cases in
the town.

Proceedings of tine Owensboro Bar As.
~OcfafIOn-

We clip the following from the Ow-

On Saturday the Bar Association, the
proceedings of which appear below, paid
"a deserved tribute to Hon. j. y. Muir
ray, who has presided so judiciOusly,
fairly and acceptably over the Daviess

1t will be "a source of regret to many
of the people and the bar, that the bill
redistricting the State and abOlishing
the Criminal Courts takes out Of the
district the county of breckenridge,
and with il Judge Murray. IL however,
gives the district above US that much
fine material for the bench. If our

clearly as do most of our people, he
could make race for the Circuit judge

viz:
As bill is now pending i'm the Leg

district the State, the passage of which

We find the following further partie-
ulars OF the murder of Whitney, as fur
nished the Louisville Commercial, by a
correspondent from Greenville, Of the
9th inst:
Our town was shocked yesterday by
the report of one of the most dalnnable
deeds that has ever disgrabed the name
of Muhlenberg county.
The facts are about these, as related
/ by one of the parties: That on last
Friday, the 18th, Bar Baugh, farmer
living near the o. 4 Y. X. r., i'm the
upper end of the county, had Elijah
Whitney and A. A. Tooley at work for
him. Baugh, ,Tooley and Whitney were
all at work hewing timber when there
was dispute got up between Tooley
and Whitney over note, and Tooley
says Whitney struck at him, when he
(TooleyI knocked Whitney down and
struck him across the neck with his AK,
almost severing his head from his body
and cutting the neckbone in two. That
being late Friday evening, they left
Whitney lying there until Saturday
morning. Baugh and Tooley, without
letting anyone know about il, went out
and took the body of Whitney and car
ried or dragged him to ravine, some
/ forty yards away, and threw him i'm and
covered the body with clods, leaves
and brush 50 as to conceal il from view.
They also buried Whitney's broadaxe
with him. When Whitney's wife and
| friends became alarmed and instituted
4 search for Whitney, Baugh and Tooley
joined in and claimed to know nothing
of his whereabouts, saying that the last
! they saw Of him ON Friday evening he
had started home. The Coroner was
summoned to hold an inquest over the
badly; Tooley and Baugh were arrested
on suspicion, and at the inquest ToOley
admitted to having killed Whitney.
Baugh claims to have taken no part In
the affray, but says that he helped Too
i ley bury the body.
The parties are now in Jail here to
await an examining trial, which u set
for Friday, before Judge Tinsley, of the
Greenville Police Court.
The correspondent of the Courier
Journal says: Nothing is known of the
origin of the difficulty, but as Whitney
has for years been intimate with wo-
man of bad character, who Is Baugh's
sister-in-law, and whom Tooley Marie,
about month ago, the cause may IN
inferred. The murder was committed
on Friday last 1ooley j. hut nineteen
years old.
