The destruction of our city hall by the
recent fire has left our town without d
suitable place in which to give lectures
concerts, &c. We may therefore say,
Goodbye" 10 theatrical entertainments
and negro MINISTRIES until the hall is Ie.
built. When this will be, no one seems
to know. The title to the property on
which the hall was built is vested in
owners who have not made known the
terms upon which they are willing to
sell and nothing is known as To their in
tentions as to rebuilding the lower sto-
ries. The only consolation We have is
that the meadows near the town are in
statu quo, and the old fashioned circus
is not extinct. A circus, OF course, car.
ries away a large amount OF money, but
that is not 10 be compared with the
fun il has afforded the public, from the
youth in his swaddling clothes to the
gray-haired sage who goes to see the
horses 90 round, hear the band and
laugh at the Wit OF tie clown. Uncle
John Robinson, OF circus fame, was tax
ing look in the door OF Music Hall, ia
Cincinnati, short time before hls
death, in which 10000 people We're seat .
ed. listening to the rendition of famous .
ora,orio He was asked what he thought .
of that, and said: II could take nay cir
Gus band aud empty the ball in 10 min
utes;" and Uncle John was right
Bro. McGsrvey, it seems, stirred mp =
hornets nest at Lexington not long
since by alleging in a public address that
the morals OF the city needed improve.
ment. Judge J. II. BeaGchamp, presi-
dent Of the Y. VI. g. A, has also deliver
ell an address upon the same subject at
the Second Presbyterian, church in that
city, in which he said THAT men ought to !
be pure. as well as women, and good men
ought TO be selected to manage local al
airs, regardless OF their politics. when II q
becomes necessary for reform; and there :
n Judge Beauchamp is right. And yet ,
his is not easy to accomplish, when ,
here are men in oil political parties WHO
would vote for the devil against the Saw :
or of mankind, If they thought that the :
savior was not OF their political belief. :
{ is said that the Judge closed with "a n
rand imploration, in which lac called on
he men OF all classes TO beware" As y
he men are already men, why not make o.
hem better by calling upon them 10 be Il
women" a.
If kentucky's centennial is 10 be cele
rated Lexington would seem to he the y
ppropriate place TO hold il. Ii is a cen a
raj point;possesses many advantages over ~
ny other city; its people are noted for IN
heir hospitality and would no doubt
make ample provision for the sccommo- q
alton of all who would attend. p
Much is said in the journals th q,
ay as to what distinguished men in the 81
wo great political parties want 10 ot
e president. How would it do 10 in. oc
ure occasionally, by way OF variety, as
, who the people want? Or have the M
eople any say in the matter. n,
1t appears from a careful survey re- ,ol
emily made by competent authority, m
rat the boundary line of Indiana, as q,
ow recognized, is All encroachment up a !
n the lawful territory OF Ohio to the
xtent OF a strip several miles in width
nj extending the entire length OF the pr
vo States. How the matter is to be &,
tisiactorily adjusted remains to be t.
ZEN. Doubtless some shrewd Kentucky Sh
wyer, for a satisfactory fee, could show ye
lem way out OF the difficult BY 70
le way, it is the opinion of many who bin
= not acquainted with the facts that /,
tx river is the boundary line between da
incoln and Garrard. The river is un- thi
,ubtedly the line between the great re
.rt OF the boundary, but there is a strip OF
,rth of Dix River, between the bridge D
ID the school. house, on the road that I'm
ads from Stanford to Lancaster, some
hat in the shape OF half moon, prob
,ly mile in width at the most distant
int. All the fishermen in and around -
.ncaster and especially those who have ~,
en- accustomed to fishing with stolen -,
Innows, know where the road turns off 49,,
the schoolho and leads down TO
e ford near White Oak branch. This
use is the building sometimes used
preaching, lectures, &c. and is about -
e mile from the river and three miles
IN Lancaster. 1t is thought by many
At this strip OF land ought TO belong to
rrard, so that Dix river would be the seci
e boundary line between the two 5 6r,1
