Converted ConY1cts Raptlzed,

On Sunday thirty-fve convicts. con.
verified by Evangelist Barnes, with the
requisite number Of guards armed with
Spencer rifles, were taken from the
State Penitentiary at Frankfort, KY,
in two large wagons to the banks OF
Green river, near the town. Arriving
there Rev. Mr.. Thorp, chaplain of the
prison, administered to the convicts the
rite of baptism. 1t was truly an affect
ing scene to see these prisoners of State
accept the outward manifestation of the
divine grace while under the eye of the
guards carrying their deadly weapons.
Nearly all are serving out long senten-
ces, while several of them are sentenced
for life.

The contest for the Delaware College
corn prizes is causing many of the far.
mers of this State to awake to the fact
that they have been cultivating too
much ground, or in other words that
they could have realized more money
for less amount of work. William
Homewood, of Newark, says that he is
satisfied that one acre can be made with
proper care and cultivation to produce
more than two acres as generally Guilt
waited. He has 20 acres In corn, 10 acres
of which would, under the system of
fertilizing and cultivation pursued on
the prize corn, have yielded az much as
the whole so, and the rest would have
been worth 300 for pasturage.

From time to time the REPUBLICAN
has spoken OF the dangerous lamp on
Water street, between King and
French, and no attention Is paid to 1t
by the city officials. The tax payers
along this street are now complaining
about 1t, as well as the narrow pave
Inents in this vicinity. One of them
called at the REPUBLICAN, Office yes.
terday and said that If City Council
at that time had any respect for a City
meeting W hich was called for the pur.
pose Of widening tho present pavement,
which Is only six feet, to that of twelve
feet, as demanded by the citizens who
were present at the meeting, this
trouble would have been obviated, as
they should be the highest authority
In city affairs. Instead of having q
u feet pavement, the pavement was
not widened but the rails were laid
eight inches nearer the curb. The tax
payer further states that that was
about all the improvement made to the
north side for $125, 900. expended from
the City treasury, and no public street
