The best antidote for the bite Of mosquito
undoubtedly is ammonia. weakened with q
little water or salt and water. Some people
90 so far as TO press the poison out OF the
bite with some small metal instrument like
the point of watch key before applying
the antdote. This prevents tho painful
swelling that sometimes occurs. As In other
cases "one mans meat is another mans
poison" and the same remedy will not
apply TO all individuals. Some find
camphor most efiicacous and salt and water
will not avail Ammonia, however. seems to
be generally successful as neutralizer of
the mosquito poison Where there are large
quantities of mosquitoes and no reason for
their appearance is apparent. il il well 20 look

There were certain families among which

was among these that the old traditions and
the names of ancient gods we're to be found.
The basis of the cult was peculiar polythc-

These spirits generally bore the name of old
Etruscan gods. mostly being little changed.

said he should not pass. He was

The Business Outlook.

r.. G. Dun & Company's Weekly
Review of Trade says: The business
situation is not quite so satisfactory or
encouraging as it has been. While
there has been gradual increase in
the distribution of many lines of mer-
chandise there is shrinkagein demand
and much depression in iron. Further
decline in cotton blights the hopes of a
revival in Southern trade and specu-
lation stimulated by cheap money and
by great success of coal speculation
now extends to wheat and threatens
to restrict export. Notwithstanding
the fact that exports of wheat have
been diminishing and for four days of
the past week been only 100000
bushels from the Atlantic ports while
Western receipts continue large.
Speculations at Chicago lifted the
price 81 cents during the week and
sales here have been 100000 bush
els. An advance from any cause
which cuts off exports of breadstuffs
at a time when Europe has heavy de-
mands for stocks marked here would
not be wholesome.

A Mob Fooled.

The following special from Owings-
will to the Courier-Journal, gives an
account of an attempted Jail delivery
Saturday night: "About II o'clock
last night a mob of fifty or sixty
masked men called at the Jail in this
place, claiming to have a prisoner to
lock up. Jailer d. S. Nixon was sus-
picious, however, and refused to let
them in. The mob then revealed
their true intentions by breaking
down the front door of the jail and
rushing in, saying they wanted and
intended to have man confined
there, at the same time firing toward
the head of the stairs, where the jailer
and his son Will were stationed.
The jailer returned the fire as fast
as he conld, and the mob proceeded to
dispense as rapidly as they could get
out. 1t is not known whether any of
them were struck or not. People diff
fer in their belief as to who the mob
wanted. Some think they wanted to
release George Green, sentenced to the
penitentiary for life for the murder of
John B. Davidson, while others think
they wanted to lynch the negro, Oscar
Jones, who murdered Town Marshal
Taylor Vice, of Sharpsburg, Christ
mas eve"

The Critic EGged.

The Lexington Transcript gives the
following account of the egging of a
Lexington man that is said to have
occurred in our city Friday night.
The facts, as given by the correspond
ent, seem to be very nearly correct, SO
we copy the article entire.
Mt. Sterling, KY, Feb. 2O.-The sem
sation of the season occurred in front
of the National Hotel in this city at a
late hour last night.
A young society man and would-be
critic on the Leader, came to Mt. Sterl-
ing about a month ago to attend a
ball and banquet, and in his report of
the affair in the next days Leader, he
was very severe and made all sorts of
unkind remarks about the supper.
Among other things, he said: "The
supper was rotten, but I suppose it
was owing to the fact that they had
no eggs" T.,
Last night the same young critic
came up and gave box party at the
Opera House and of course, put on a
lot of style, as city boys generally do
at a show in small town. The Wilbur
Opera Company seemed to have special
attractions for him as he had followed
the girls to this city after witnessing
their performances every night for
week in Lexington.
Criticism aside and back to the facts
He was here and after the show he
started to the National Hotel, but the
night was dark and the boys were out
with their pockets filled with eggs and
when the young critic was near the
hotel they let fly their spring-time
missiles and covered his brown suit,
pants and all, with shells, white and
yellow until he cried enough" But
the boys yelled: d. be he who
cries enough.
The screams of the young man at
tracted the attention of the police who
rushed to the scene in time to see a
loud pair of pants making their escape
through the front door into the hotel
Office and hear muffied laugh in the
darkness near the new Court House.
The young man was shown to his
room where he was groomed up in
passible shape and he retired wiser,
if not more discreet man.
No arrests were made up to six
O'Clock this afternoon and from pres
ent indications there will be no extra
exertions made by the police to bring
the guilty parties to justice.
Eggs are still firm and range from
Is to Zoe; market brisk. Weather
cloudy and cool. Track fast.
