and promising protection: that money was
delivered TO these same Commissioners;
that the food laws were neglected and
impure foodstufrs allowed to swarm the

GETS PENSION AND BACK
PAY.

county, but who enlisted in the 9Th
Kentucky Volunteer Cavalry, Com
pany NJ, Capt. W. G. Conner, from
Mercer county, has just succeeded
in having great wrong, which
was done him by mistake, righted,
and has had pension granted him.
1t seems that he was reported
dishonorably discharged, when it
should have been honorably dis
charged.
Through his attorney, Judge w.
l.. Jett, he laid the true facts
before the department. at Washing
ton City, and. when the proof was
made, Mr.. Nichol was granted back
pay of 1866 and So per month PEN
sion. Mr.. Nicol is an humble, but
upright, citizen, who has had a
hard struggle to support his family,
and We are glad that this lone-de-
layed act of justice has been done
him.

AN OUTRA AGE.

Some dirty scoundrel, on Monday
night, passed the stable of Mr..
Lyman S. Graham, on Catfish
alley, in the rear of Capt. /. II.
Vests Main street residence, and
reaching in the window cut one of
Mr.. Graham's fine carriage horses
on the shoulder Just where the col
lar presses. The cash was some
three inches long and about an inch
deep. The knife came within a
short distance of a vital part. AS
it was the injury to the horse is
considerable and will prevent using
him for some time.
A man that would commit an act
of vandalism like that is mean
enough to do anything. We hope
he may he captured and punished
to the full extent of the law.
