MAI II, lOoO'
Ed. SoUTH KENTUCKIAN:
Most everybody is done planting
corn, and it is mostly all up and is
looking as promising as we ever saw
at this time of the year.
Miss Lennie Cordier, a charming
young lady of Old Petersburg, visit
ed friends at Crofton last week.
Messrs. l.. NJ. Tallichet, DR.. r. p.
Drake and Will Stone made a busi-
ness trip to your town last week.
Mr.. S. II. Williams has returned
from Buffalo, N. Y, where lie has
been for some time with the hope of
recovering his health.
The miners of this place, in order
to keep in rifle range of the other
miners throughout the country, got
OH a regular old fashion "strikc," last
week, which created a considerable
excitement for few days, but they
were finally persuaded to abandon
their object and resume with the
same exclusive terms.
Iguess, Mr.. Editor, that you think
that some of those $50 pound craw-
fish or seven year old grasshoppers
have taken me by the big toe, and
carried me to Humdurgin, but thank
God, l am still in the land of the
blessed. | have been attending school
at Crofton for the past few months,
which proves that have been una
BILE to represent this place through
the columns of your highly appre-
ciated paper l have been under the
instructions of Prof X. Ii. Ingram, of
Virginia, who is man OF talent,
hospitality and energy; he is pleas
ant in conversation, moral, upright
in his walk, and as school teacher
can earnestly commend him to be
one of the best teachers i'll the COun-
try.
1 notice that there are some young
men around this place that care for
nothing only deck Of cards, or a
five dollar jug full of tangle-foot,
while there are others who are striv-
ing to build up good reputation fer
themselves. Now just let me say to
the former class of young gentlemen,
that our course in youth and man
hood is wide and deep flood. Amid
objects striking and magnificent, we
are tempted by the moving pictures
of enjoyment and industry passing
before us; we are generally excited
by some short-lived success. But our
energy and our depression are both
in vain. The stream of life bears OH
and our joys and griefs are alike left
behind us. We must understand
that life bears us OH like a mighty
river. Our boat at first g!ides down
the narrow channel through the play
full murmurings Of the little brook
and the windings of its grassy Dor
ders. The trees shed their blossoms
over our young heads, the flowers OIL
the brink seem to offer themselves t
our young hands we are happy il
hope, and grasp eagerly at the beau
ties around us, but the stream hur
ries OIL, and still our hands are empty
and then we may be shipwrecked an(
elnnot delay, whether rough O.
smooth the river haslens to its HON,
till the roar of the ocean is in GU
ears, and the tossing of waves is be
meath our feet, and the land lessons
from our eyes, and the floods al,
lifted up around us, and we take oni
leave of earth and its inhabitants UNI
iii our further voyage, where there il
no witness save the Infinite anC
Eternal. Yours truly,

Excitement in Texas.

Great excitement has been caused
in the vicinity Of Paris, Tex, by the
remarkable recovery of Mr.. j. E.
Corley, who was so helpless he could
not turn in bed, or raise his head ;
everybody said he was dying of con-
sumption. A trial bottle Of DR.. Kings
New Discovery was sent him. Find
ing relief, he bought large bottle
and box of Dir. Kings New Life
Pills; by the time he had taken two
boxes Of Pills and two bottles of the
Discovery, he was well and had gain
ed in flesh thirty-six pounds.

SHYlNG HORSES.
How to Manage Them by Kindness and
Persuasion.

How to Manage Them by Kindness and
Persuasion.
This trick or vice is generally the
effect of nervous timidity, resulting
from an excitable temperament. 1t
is aggravated by improper handling.
To punish a horse for shying introduces
a new cause of fear. The horse will be
more alarmed and show more tokens Of
fear at the prospect of whipping than
At the imaginary object of danger in
the road. Hence one bad habit is con-
firmed by the introduction of another.
1t is impossible to whip terror out Of a
horse or pound courage into one. Kind
ness and gentle persuasion are the best
weapons to correct the pernicious habit
of shying. The less fear exhibited by
the driver, and the less notice taken OF
the shying by using harsh means, the
sooner it will be given up. A careful,
experienced horseman can generally
detect an object likely to cause a nerv-
Gus horse to shy, and by word or touch
will encourage him to pass it UNI
noticed. When this fails, give him
time to look at the object of his fear;
pat him and coax him up to it, then
take him past it two Or three times, till
he takes no notice of it.
When defective sight is the cause of
this bad habit it is incurable, and if
the eye-sight is failing, the horse for
ordinary driving and riding will be
perfectly useless. A mare we knew that
had gone quietly in harness for two or
three years, suddenly took to jumping
the white stone crossings of an ordi-
nary macadamized street rs if they
were water brooks. In three months
she was stone blind Scientific 4meri-

the Grand Army Post of East Machias, to
solicit subscriptions for the family of War
