The statement that Editor Mccartney, of
the Flemingsburg Gazette, had shot two
men in that town last week, which appeared
in the daily papers, is pronounced by the

confession of a woman at that town as to
having murdered two men. No such con-
fession eyer has been made.
Carlisle Mercury: B. B. Letton, of this

pastures few days since, Mr.. Letton saw
the young turkeys busily picking up acorns
but the old hen was nowhere to be seen.
After looking about some time he cast his
eve up in the tree, and there was the good
old turkey mother shaking down acorns for
her brood.

conjecture that the readers of the Register
must be truly glad that this young gentle
man has spent his school days so pleasantly
since that kept him from writing 10 the
paper "oftentimes."

sus, ready for whatever may be the
will of the Lord. In Nashville,
and wherever the news OF his ex-
