COMMON COMPLAINT.

In copy of the Spectator, published
September, 1712. we find the following
solution Of domestic problem
"Many are the epistles every day re-
ceive from husbands complain ofvan-
ity, pride, but, above all, Immature, in
their wives. I cannot tell how it is, but
/ think I see in all their letters that the
cause Of their uneasiness is in themselves,
and indeed have hardly ever observed
the married condition unhappy but from
want of judgment in the man. The
truth is, we generally make love in o
style and with sentiments very unfit for
ordinary life; they are half theatrical,
and half romantic. By this means we
raise our imaginations to what is not to
be expected in human life ;'and, because
we did not beforehand think of the Great
ure we we're enamored of as subject
to age, sickness, impotence or sullen
ness, human nature is often impaired K
her as her particular imperfection or de
feet"

Paducah, GAINESVILLE and Hop
kinsville.

The great bulk of the tobacco
crop of this portion of the State, has
been disposed of in one or the other
of these markets. GAINESVILLE being
tho Oldest market of the three, for a
long series of years did the heaviest
business. For the last fifteen years,
however, Paducah has taken advan-
take of her more favorable location,
and by the unconquerable energy of
her warehousemen has rather ont
stript either one of her rivals. The
Clarksyille and Paducah markets in
the last year or two have been stead
lily gaining in the public favor, and
a future outlook for each place is
even more flattering than their for
mcr success would authorize them to
hope for. But it is not SO with Hop
kinsville.
The construction of the railroad
from GAINESVILLE to Princeton, when
completed, will be great feeder to
the market of that place and Padu-
cab, and the business of Hopkins
vile must Of necessity decline in the
same corresponding proportion with
tnntnagnI Ia - ntI
points. This view of the case as a
matter of course must be taken in
connection with the efforts of HoL-
kinsvill, to retain it. She has some
advantages over both of the former
points. Situated in the very center
of the finest tobacco growing coun-
try in the world, she would have no
trouble in retaining her old custom
ers, If the facilities for carrying the
weed to market do not in the future
counterbalance all the other natural
advantages which the market itself
invites.
1t is very plain therefore that
llopkinsville must bestir herself in
some way, if she would retain her
old celebrity as tobacco market.
She must in one way or another,
create additional facilities for the
easy transfer of the tobacco from the
country to the market-otherwise
all tobacco on this side OF the rail-
road that has formerly gone to her
own warehouses will naturally find
its way 10 GAINESVILLE or Paducah.-

A serious split is threatened in The
colored Baptist Church at this place.
Owing to some domestic troubles in
the family of the pastor, Rev. E.
Richey, last summer, a committee
was appointed to investigate and the
result was that Rev. Richey's resig-
nation was rendered and accepted.
This caused the church to be divi-
ded into two factions, and upon a
failure to recall the former pastor,
about % or 30 of his adhcrents with
drew from the church a week or two
ago. 1t is said probably as many
more will take letters, and that an
effort will be made to organize an
other church. The regular body had
at the time the trouble came up about
450 members. They own neat
brick house of worship on Virginia
street and are in prosperous condi-
ton. We are informed that Rev. E.
Williams, of South Carrollton, Ky.
has been called to the passionate fol

RETRlBUTlON.
COWARDLY ASSASSINATION AT
RENDYILLE.
One Of the Murders Promptly
Lynched by Infurialed Citizens.

CORNING, Ono, February ga
most cowardly murder occurred a
Rendville, one milo from this place
last night. Two men went to th'
house of Peter Clifford, brakeman
on the Ohio Central Railroad, rap
ped on the door and begged him tt
open it and speak with them.
Young Clifford (he was only
twenty three years old) hastily
sprang out of bed, unlocked and
opened the door. instantly one o1
the scoundrels clapped pistol to
his breast with the exclamation oi
"There!" and sent a bullet through
his left side, about one inch above
the heart The poor man sank back
into the arms of his young wife, and
died inside of two minutes, but not
before he said, "Mollie, the Hickeys
have killed me-. !"
He meant a notorious and worth
less set, whose actions in the vicin
lty have been Il source Of terror and
shame to our ne,ghbouring town for
several years past. 1t only needed
murder to cap the climax of the
other crimes. Four of the family,
including Hickey and his WIFE,
brother, one Joe Rcddy, who are
supposed to be the principals in this
most dastardly crime, are now in
prison at RendviIle, whence they
will probably be taken to night and
hanged. Should any respectable
number of citizens make an at
tempt to apply the principles of
Judge Lynch, they would meet with
no serions opposition f,om any but
the victims themselves. There is a
tremendous state of feeling through
out the entire community.
Young Clifford was as much re-
spected and esteemed as his muir.
ders are detested and despised He
was sober, Industrious man, whose
life was worth that of a thousand
of the worthless devils who shod his
blood SO cruelty and cowardIy.
Only last September he was mar
ried to Miss Mary Miller, a. very
worthy young lady of Rendville,
and they had just recently gone to
housekeeping
CORNING, ONO, February 2
MIDNIGHT.- endville is in wild
excitement over the lynching of
Richard Hickey, the supposed mur-
dsrer of Peter Clifford. At half
past eight o'clock this evening a
crowd of eight hundred, Of which
about fifty were masked, surrounded
the house which contained the pris-
oners.
They took Hickey and his broth
er-in-law to grove near by. They
first hung Hickey, and were then
strlnglng up the brother-ln law
when the rope. broke, letting him
fall. His plttiful pleading for
mercy and earnest protestatlons of
finally caused the mob to
reprieve him.
Hickey would not say whether he
was guilty or innocent, but said he
would die like man. The Hickey
tribe and associates are of the most
degraded set in Southern Ohio, and
tho country surely receives a great
blessing by getting rid of them.
