Magistrate Comings lost two, one Friday
and one yesterday. Several other parties
lost theirs during the same period of time,
making altogether more than half dozen.
The peculiarties about it are that all ami
mails were fine stock and all died with the
same symptoms
The Young Temperance Peoples
meeting last Friday night was one of much
interest in every way. 1t was largely at
tended by people of nearly all ages. The
exercises were opened with recitation by
Miss Laura Walbrdgc. This was followed
by vocal solo from Miss Mamie Corlis, an
organ duet by Misses Ada Scarrett and
Emma James, vocal solo by Miss Hattie
Mckee and another by Mr.. Frank Metcalf
Says the johnson county Journal :;
"Some ofthe farmers are going to Row wheat
in their corn at the last blowing for the
chinch bugs to feed upon and prevent them
from destroying their corn. 1t is a capital
idea and if the chinch bugs do not eat it up
it will serve for winter pasture" Didn't
know until now that chinch bugs lived on
capital ideas" or that such ideas were good
for "wntor pasture" Looks improbable,
but will take the Journals word for it.

Much excitement was created yester.
day among the colored voters of the city
by the election of candidate for an APP
pointment at Washington. The pole was
at the Hibernian engine house; the candi.
dates were Mcssrs. Samuel Taylor and
Tanner; the judges were Mr.. McEwen for
the Tanner faction, Mr.. John Gladney for
the Taylor faction and Mr.. VIM. Murphy
for Captain Thomas. 1t was fight be-
tween two factious represented by the
| Three States and The Gazette respectively
and it seems that the latter won for its
candidate, Samuel Taylor, received 357
votes which exceeds Tanners vote by 1876.
The storm did not give the vicinity of
Paducah complete oby last week as has
), been thought. We learn that it left its
mark in many places in the Maxon's Mills
neighborhood. Mr. Jack Ogilvic had 140
feet of barn sheds and 400 panels of fence
blown down, and three large trees in his
yard torn up by the roots. Mr.. John Ems
| ley's barn was torn into fragments, and the
buildings and trees on the place of Mr.
Cooney Randlc suffered considerably. The
| wind came up little valley there and did
more or less damage in many places all
around there.
Magistrate Comings made a post
| norton examination of his dead COWS yes
tcrday and found their yitals and internal
Arrangement in perfectly normal condi.
ton and was about to give up his search
| for the cause of the death Of the animals
when he bethought himself of the horns
| He broke off one from the head of each of
the dead animals and found each hollow
He concludes, therefore, with good reason,
that the cause of death was "hclow horn"

The Metropolis Democrat persists in
its efforts to make Judge j. II. Mulkey, a
citizen Of that place. In its last issue it
says "Hon, John II. Mulkey came up on
Monday last and closed trade with Nathan
Shick for nine lots on Metropolis street,
between the pottery and the residence of
Capt. Ben Rankin. The judge paid 81 800
