Extra Fine Horses.

Mr. w B Burton has two horses this
summer that have attracted the atten
tiOn of the horSemen all over the state,
and in which he certainly has a good
thing. One is the three year-Old road
horse. Heck, by Knight, by Wilkes,
dam Prodigal. This horse has been
shown all over Central Kentucky at
the recent fairs and has won nearly
every blue tie he went after. He has
never been outside the money. and Mr.
Burton has refused many flattering
offers for him. The other, a hand
some mare. Ada Bell, by Clay King,
dam the Abdallah, is a three year-Old
and has won every first premium in
the high-acting rings in Central Ken
lucky. Mr. Burton was fortunate in
securing these splendid animals. They
are at the Somerset fair this week,
and will likely be shown at the State
Fair in Louisville next week,

4 Burning Shame.

A well-known fisherman told us. the
other day, that fishing in DIX river
was a thing of the past. OF course
few are here and there. but such a
thing as catching a string was impossi
BILE. The terrible state of affairs has
been brought by seins and dynamite.
There is law against these, but what
does it amount to? Absolutely moth
ing. Men. who are considered lawabid
ing and honorable citizens have been
guilty of the offense of both seining
and using dynamite, and absolutely no
effort is made to punish them. The
use of dynamite kills not only the large
fish, but little ones as we'll, and the
nefarious practice has become so com
mon that there is hardly good string
of fish in the river, from source to
mouth. II some negro sells drink of
whisky or shoots craps for q nickle,
he is taken out and hung, fguratively
speaking, but the seiner and dynami
ter can 60 unm0lested.

AusefuI Invention.

Mr. James Hill, of this city, has in
vented and placed on sale small ar
ticle for use in the kitchen which is
filling a long-felt want. 1t is corn
shaver, to be used on roasting ears.
1t consists of a piece of neatly-dressed
wood, in which is cut an OblOng hole.
Across the center thereof is piece of
steel or knife blade. In the wood,
close to the hole are imbeded several
spikes. The corn is passed down a
groove and across the teeth and knife,
which separates that portion to be
eaten from the cob and rough portion
of the corn. He has sold quite mum
Der of them. the price being very rea
sOnable and the invention of inestima
BILE value to cooks and hOusekeepers.
The corn cut with it is delicious, and
bound to be far more healthy than by
eating it in the Old-time way.
