Hal Cockrill and his brother, Bud
Cockrill, of Devine, Estill county,
with several assistants, were bring
ing some RATS down the Kentucky
river, when they observed Bud Park
er and his brother, of Clay's Ferry,
with several assistants, behind them
with RATS. The Cockrills shouted TO
the Parkers to guide their RATS to
the east or west bank, so as to avoid
a collision. The Parkers, 1t is said,
could not guide their RATS, owing TO
the swift current in the river, and a
collision was the result, the RATS be-
longing to the Cockrills being badly
broken up. Some hot words were
passed between the owners, and in a
few minutes pistols were drawn, and
both factions began shooting. The
two Parkers were killed instantly
and four others were badly wounded

HoPKINsvILLE PUBLIC SCHOOL
LIBRARY.
The Coming Entertainment fer
Its Benefit.
Mn. EDIToR:

MIR. LDlTOR'
The approaching entertainment on
behalf of our Public School Library,
will doubtless be gladly welcomed,
by the wide circle here of the friends
oil our Public School system. The
immediate object of this appeal to
the generosity of our people, is close
~ connected with the usefulness and
practical benefits of a Free School
System. While the purposes of a
well acquired elementary education
in the branches taught in the Public
School, are obvious in the advantages
such knowledge gives in the occupa-
tions of practical life, still II ought
to be remembered, that education to
he made attractive, should be sur
rounded by alluremcnts, other than
are in the dry, trcad-mill forms, and
whip.crack routine of the mere
school-roOm. The spur of rivalry in
high marking may enlivcn for a time
but II jades and wcaries. Our edu-
Gators are and have been wrestling
stoutly with the problem how best TO
make the school life, in its rigid la
bors less an aversion and tire TO
the child in training. Hence the
Kindergarten" the "objcct lessons,
and kindred rests and cases, out OF
the old A b G paths. Hence also,
the more logical and intellectually
persuasive attractions of the school
library. Here as experience shows,
in well chosen selections of books
written for, aud by skilled authors
adapted 10, the gradual mental
advance of the school child, and COW
ering in def, happy language and
imagery, lessons in life aud duty
lie ever flowing well springs OF re-
freshing vigor for the taxed but elias
tic mind of youth. In the Public
Schools of all our large towns and
cities, libraries chosen with judicious
care, stand side by side with the
textbook and black board, and on
library days the glad welcome OF
thronging children, attests the charm
of the voiceless, but speaking shelves
The library which is TO be the bene
ficiary of the coming entertainers
is now but the nucleus of what
cultivated and assiduous care and
beneficence may make it. 1t original
ed in the unforgotten and praise-wor
thy efforts of Il few young ladies anC
gentlemen ofour community. Theil
exertions have resulted in the colec'
ton of some 500 volumes of entertain
ing and useful books. TO the tireles'
energy, and strenuous efforts of Miss
Emily B. Perry and Prof. G. II. Die
trich, the present favorable showing
of the Library, is mainly due. 1t il
sincerely hoped that generous pub
lie will reward the coming effort fol
the same laudable end, with an at
tendance resulting in large increas'
of books, rendering the Librar!
eventually, a source not only o
pleasure, but of pride to our citizens

The Franklin Favorite relates that
during a recent cold spell the rear
legs of a lamb were frozen and
dropped off. The lamb is now hale
and hearty, with this exception, and
can run about with astonishing
rapidity on its front legs. 1t carries
its head down close to the ground and
elevates its rear parts at an angle OF
about forty-flve degrees. When in
motion it resembles very much boy
walking ON his hands.

The Jersey Cattle Noon,

The leading aim OF tbs best breeders now
seems 10 be to breed for the butter record.
This is so much the case, that the great ma
jority OF Jersey cows that have a record be-
low fourteen pounds of butter a week. are
comparatively cheap, while those with a
record of fourteen pounds week, upward
to twenty. five and thirty pounds a week.
are comparatively high. Those at the top of
the scale are sought for and bring fabulous
prices, or what would be called such q few
years ago. Great emphasis is put upon their
butter record, and the condition of the tests,
as to rations and previous feed OF COW, con-
tinually grow more precise and satisfactory.
The aim is, to show the value OF given
animal on specified value of rations, as a
machine for making butter, or what the COW
will do on grass alone, in flush feed. These
tests are made under the supervision of the
American Jersey Cattle Club or under the
direction of such witnesses as secure impair
TALLY and give entire confidence in their
correctness. These butter records OF the
JerEeys are quite remarkable, compared with
the average yield of common cows. They
are remarkable especially, as showing the
prepotency OF bulls.

SCHOOL FUND MORTGAGES.
Opir ION OF the Attorney General Re-
earding Sales OF Mortgaged Lands.


safe Superintendent Holcombe has sub.
mated to Attorney General Eord the follow
irg question, which, it will be observed, az
fcis all the counties in the State: Can the
County Auditor proceed to sell mortgage
lar ds under mortgages given to the school
fund at any time after proper notice, on fail.
IRE to pay any installment OF interest when
the same is due, or must he make all sale on
the fourth Monday of March in each Year,"
The Attorney General responds as ffellows:
under this statute the County Auditor
could, when the interest or principal of any
such loan becomes due and remains unpaid,
sell the mortgaged premises at any time after
lawful notice. It was intended
that the County Auditor should possess
speedy and summary remedy to enforce col
on the fourth Monday in March only.
then in many instances the officers
could not enforce collections for year after
the delinquency and defalcston. 1t IS nv
opinion that on failure TO pay any Install
ment OF interest, when the same becomes
due. the County Auditor is authorized 10
sell the land at any time, after sufficient
and proper notice. The duty imposed on
him by statute. to offer for sale on the fourth
Monday in March, annually, all mortgagsd
lands on which payments of interest are
due on the 6rst day Cf January and unpaid
on the day of sale Is intended TO be nanda-
tory. He may sell at any time after defsl-
cation and lawful notice thereof, bat must
offer for sale on the fourth Monday in March
annually, all mortgsged lands. on which
pay mepts OF interests are due, on the first
