COMMUNICATED.

Mesrs. E,it0rs.-As the election for
county officers will not take place until
next fall, it may seem to some that an an
nouncement NJ this time of any of the
candidates is somewhat premature. But
inasmuch Is the friends Of some of the
aspirahts to the Sheriffalty are understood
to be secretly at work in behalf of their
respective favorites, no time should be lost
by those who prefer an open canvass fo-
this important Office TO put their candidate
fairly in the field before too many of the
voters shall have committed themselves TO
those who are said to be actively and quiz
etly engaged in "a still hunt" for their
suffrages.
The undersigned therefore take this
method of formally announcing Colonel
WILLIAM a. MORGAN, of this neighbor-
hood, as a candidate for the Sherifalty OF
jefferson county, and in making this an
nouncement we desire it to be distinctly
understood that we do il entirely without
Colonel Morgan's knowledge, and solely
because of his fitness for the position.
The apprenticeship he has had as dep
uty, and the faithful manner in which he
has discharged his duty in that capacity,
while making him fully acquainted with
the requirements and responsibilities Of
the office, have at the same time given the
best assurances that his advancement TO
the Sherinalty will be no less beneficial
to the public than l well-dcserved compll-
ment to himself.

A Horrible Kentucky Tragedy.

A brief report has been published of the
bloody tragedy that occurred last week
near Milton, Kentucky, in which one
woman was killed and two men fatally
wounded. The details Of the story are
that nine years ago young man named
Stephens married beautiful young lady
in Chicago and shortly removed to Trim
BILE county, n.y., buying farm and set
Ting down. Some years ago Stephens
left home for the East to purchase some
land, since which time nothing had been
heard of him until last Monday. His wife
supposed him robbed and murdered. She
lived alone until last summer, when she
formed an attachment for young farm
hand who had been in her employ for
four years. and they were married IN
Louisville, last July. Stephens stopped
st tile house on Monday, not intending to
let himself be known, but his wife imme-
diatcly recognized him, throwing her
arms about his neck, and screaming "Ny
long-lost husband" and kissing him. This
aroused the jealousy Of the new husband,
vhereuPon he struck her across the neck
with a drawing knife he had ia his hand,
cutting her in frightful manner and
severing the jugular VEIN She fell to the
floor and expired almost instantly. Ste
phens drew a revolver and shot the muir
derer, who in return gave Stephens cut
across the back Of the neck with the
drawing knife. Both men arc said to be
fatally injured.

Leap.Year Pnrty.-Tbe first loan

Lcap-Hear Pnriy.-The first leap
year party for 1884 was enjoyed by the
ladies and gentlemen of Sliepherdstown
last Tuesday evening at the hospita ble
home of DR.. and Mrs. John Reynolds,
their daughter, Miss Nellie Reynolds,
taking upon herself the duties Of hostess,
which, it is needless to say, she is cer-
tanly most competent to perform. The
guests began to arrive shortly after eight
O'Clock, and soon the psrlors were filled
with the youth and beauty of this town
and vicinity, as well us visiting guests.
The ladies, awaiting themselves of leap
year privileges, paid the gentlemen the
most assiGuous attention, and acquitted
themselves like "natives to the manner
born" We observed that the ladies SEEM
ed to enjoy their new characters more
than the gentlemen did theirs, owing per-
hapS to the timidity of the latter. About
half-past ten supper was announced, and
the gentlemen were escorted by the fair
ones to the dining-roOm, where they were
waited upon by the ladies most atteh-
lively. We likewise observed that at this
point the majority of the gentlemen lost
their timidity, and no wonder, for the
bountlful array of substantals and deli
cacies was sufficient to tempt the most
fastidious. After justice had been doue
in the dining-room the parlors wei again
occupied, and in mutual entertainment
the time few OH until the hour of depart
ure arrived. 1t was with regret that the
guests departed, for the evening Was 30
thoroughly enjoyed that none desired to
leave. The occasion was one that will
long be pleasantly remembered.
Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs.
II. W. Potts, Rev. B. +. and Mrs. Baus-
