CREAM OF NEWS.
As to Saloons.

As to Saloons.
The vote IN Saturdays election will
be counted to-day aud the result de-
clared. Tavern licenses can then be is
sued only after the fact has been
advertised ten days, but saloons In
the city may reopen as soon as the
Council fixes the rate for license,
which will be done this evening. II
Is probable that the price Of city IL
cense will BIO put at about 5000, but
some Of the Board will doubtless ia
vor as high as $1,000 It was form
erly $3.50. Government and county
licenses are $50, as before the prohi-
bition law was passed. There will
be about dozen saloons opened up
at once in this city, If the license is
as low as $500. 1t is understood that
several of the blind tigers will move
their bars into the front rooms.
"Unele Rocks" Last Hope Gone.
The Court OF Appeals affirmed the
decision of the lower court IN the NJ.
G. Radford case last Thursday. II
will be remembered that Radford was
after several trials sentenced 10 u
years IN the penitentlary, for killing
a man named johnson In this county
several years ago. The case was
tried in Trigg on charge of venue
and appealed from that county. Rad
ford, who is rs years old, is now in
jail at Cadiz. This decision will
send him to the penitentiary in about
30 days, as the papers will not be for
warded before that time.
An Expensive Calf.
Jim johnson sued Matt Csyce,
Saturday, before Esq. Davle st Dev-
erly, for the possession of a calf sold
to both parties at Owsleys sale,
though some mistake. The cour,
gave the calf to johnson, who first
got possession of II. Cayce bought
the calf, as he thought, with lite moth
or and johnson claims 10 have bought
the same calf with a lot Of yearlings.
The value at the calf was $3.50 and
the costs of the suit amounted to-
SIS 10, which amount Cayce will
probably attempt to recover by an
appeal. The case created quite a
sensation at Beverly.
Too Many Birds.
The English sparrows are a pest
that some means must DO devised 10
rid ourselves of. They infest the
city In countless numbers and are al
ready building their nests about the
caves and preparing for another crop.
1t Is already almost impossible TO
raise berries or small fruits on their
account and they are multiplying
every year. They have become a
nuisance that must command our
serious consideration in the very
near future.
The Warren County Election.
Warren county voted on propo-
sition TO subscribe $250,000 TO new
road to Henderson Saturday and the
proposition was carried by about
1000 majority. The contest was
hot aud exciting one, but Bowling
Gren's big majority Of 1859 did the
work. Another proposition of $780,
600 will be voted on Mar. 10th.
