SCASLON'S STORY.

SHOWED MURPHY DOWN,
and, when he got up, put him out of the door.
Murphy made threats that he would get even with
Fitzgerald. He said he would "go away" with
him and with somebody else afterward. The wit
ness understood Murphy to mean that he would
kill Fitzgerald and some one else afterward. He
put Mr.. Murphy out and kept Mr.. Fitzgerald in.
Murphy came back twiceand wanted to get in, but
the witness would not let him in. After Fitzgerald
left the witness children and wife heard the noise
at Murphy's house and went down there He saw
no signs of intoxication on Fitzgerald while he
was at the witness house. Fitzgerald did not
threaten Murphy at any time. Murphy seemed to

erald with the grasses Of hope, Iris hued

giving root 10 tho trees, was strong rip-
bed with will and determination, all moist
ened, as it was, with the blood Of patriots
the tears of women whose hearts ached for
the loved and lost. And there, too, the
plumed flower of the mountain grew, the
scarlet.tipped plume that glows in crimson

blooms in golden glory in tho valley OF
prosperity-the odorous, beauteous blossom
of success. Bnt the mists came down from

thy hills and valleys, thy woods and plains
and FLASHING waters, o! land OF

sons and heroes, and the light from thy
Valhala is dark. Rugged toll is the portion
of thy sons, and sorrow sits enthroned in the
hearts of thy daughters, while fate seems 70

thee. But the dawn of new day comes,
and the tuneful lays of host of stars sound
through all thy land. The bright sun q

Where naught was heard in thy early days

studded like the tresses of the daughter OF

Prom u Visitors letter.

Judge w. II. Savage, OF X niucky, and
ono Of tho mos. prominent and Influential
mon Of bis section, after maklog an extensive
tour through Texas, wrote long letter re-
laling thereto to the Mount Sterling Demo-
GRAFT from which we clip the following ex-
tracts "The country over which we Travelled
Is by no means a parsdise-we found, as in
most other states, Il good deal Of rough
country-but much very rich land, and we
are very much surprised that so many men
of email means remain in kentucky
scarcely able to keep soul and body together,
when they can 60 TO Texas, purchase large
farms, and locate themselves comfortably for
life" He has this to say of Dallas and
Sherman:
Dallas and Sherman are both very fine
towne, the former taking the prestige. Some
houses in Dallas cell as high as million
dollars worth per annum. We met here our
old friend Samuel ii. holland, of Nicholas
vile, and his gentlemanly partner Mr.. JOY
ner. The former accompanied us to Sher-
man, where we were kindly entertained by
tho third partner, Robert Price. also of
Nicholasville, Kentucky. These gentlemen
ave running two hardware houses, one in
Dallas and the other in Sherman, both large
establishments and making money rapidly.
Around these tvs towns and Fort Worth
the county ia rich and beginning to be we'll
improved.
In reference to one of the editorial staff of
the HERALD. Judge Savage has something
