The appointments announced this morning will fluse some surprise; but they will give antire satisfaction. The fortunate gentlemen are in every way fitted for the public duties which the Governor has assigned them. twE cause of a peculiar epidemic which resnlwd in the death of a num- neople at lliorn Orove, near v- Knoxvilie, haa just been discov ered. La- a general slaughter pf dogs orenrred in the neighborhood, and the dead bodies were tiiiown into a cave.

A stream of water which ran through this cave supplied a big spring from which the little settlement obtained its drinking water.

THE INAUGURAL HOP. Fbaxxtort, Anx. 30. Special. Gon Simon Boavar Euckner was inaugurated Governor of Kentucky to-day with appropriate pomp and splendor.

Those who know the rugged uature of tbe Chief Exec utive ol the Commonwealth do not in the least douut hii siucerity when he said that be preierred to have a quiet inaugural, stripped of all ostentatious ceremony. But the peo ple of the Jit Ue city of Frankfort bad mad up their minds that it should be a grand affair, and they succeeded -most admirably in their efforts. They know bow these things are done, and they always do them to the Queen's taste, without stopping to consider the taste of tbe nw Governor. The day was perfect. Not a cloud marred the serenity of the sky.

If the weather had been made to order, it could not have been more delightful. The principal business blocks ot the city were adorned with Mags aud buuting. The Buiir Hotel and the Opera- house were especially elaborately decorated. The streets at an early hour were thronged with gayly-dressed people, the ladies, in bright colors and with sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks, outnumbers the men. TUE GATHERING OF TH- HAVE AXD FAIR.

The ibilors that reachi. die city last night crowded ad the places of enteria.ument to their utmost capacity, and ali the trains that arrived this morning were loaded to -the' limit with peop.e omuinx here to me tbe new Governor tuke the oatu of otllce. Louisr.ile, I Lexmgtou, Bor l.ug ureea, Covington and Hairodsurs aeut tlie largest de.egition. I Ad parts of tbe State were repi eaetiled. There tr in camp at the Mate House eigut companies of tbe State Guard.

Anions the crowds thut tbrongnd tbe lob-biea of tue boteia last uiut aud to-tiny the oflice-aeekers were aouauant and pest Herons. Go where you may, you can not escape tue seeker alter oilice. He is tireless as well as ubiquitous, and be gets b.t ling -r in your buiUni-bole and tells you, to your in-ti disgust, in a couiideiitiul way, bow you can uo him a service. For the ten or a uuzeii allices to be lili.d in the Senate and in the House at the ajeembling of the next Legislature, tnere seem to be two or three hundred applicants, and it appeared to uie tbat the entire number was here. ESTLMAriNtt THK CROWD.

To give you an idea ot the uuiuber of people that hud collected to witness the riujng out of the old and tue rinin in of the new order of things, I may mention oue incident: When I went down to breakfast at a somewhat lato hour this morning, und called for a tuvorite liisii on tiie bill of fare, the waiter returned, after a Irief visit of insj-ecUon to tbe kitchen, and said to me, witu a most meluncholy aspect: "The fried apples lis out, boss." When" the crowd at a ho.nl cleans up the fried apples, things are becoming alarming. It is estimated that ei'sous assembled in tbe htate-house grounds to witness the inaugural. I tbiutf that estimate is not excts'sive, and there were at hast others ho attempt to gel into grounds. The ceremonies were very brief and slightly impressive. Of course, only a coiiipoi ativeiy small number those present h.

aru what was going oa, but they could see the speakers, and, whde the applause was at uo time enthusiastic, it always came in at tiie rihl place. THE GRAND PROCESSION. It was a few minutes past 11 o'clock when the procession moved, starting at Broadway. The route lay through tbe principal streets of tbe town. I watctied it as it passed tbe Buhr hotel.

First came the Frankfort police on borseliack. They were followed by a band of niuMc. Next came Gen. p. W.

Lindsey, Chief Marshal, on horseback, of course. Behind bisu came the LouisvUle Legion, the members of which, with their white heiiuets and plumes and their portect movements, presented a very imposing appearance, 'lbey were louowed by tbe Bowling Green GuarJs. 'luvn came the compauies from Lancaster, Kichinnu'i. Mari.e.d. incuestcr.

TBX LNACGCRAL CXBXHU.MXS. Tbe shady grove la front ot tbe EUt Houaa bad been se'eeted as the place where the inaugural ceremonies should occur.

In the southeast corner a platform was erected capable of seating -V0 persons. This platform was decorated with flag and touting. a were also the trees in the prove. At the iront of the plat form a box-like arrangement was provided, in which the outcome and incoming Governors stood while delivering their remarks. hen the procession arrived in front or the State House there was at once a consid erable rush tor grata on the platform.

Knott and his escort The Governor and the Governor-elect occu pied seats at tbe front. By this time, tbe crowd ia the grounds had Oiled ail the space tie ween the platiorm and tne State House. The steiaof the Capitol were alive with peo ple. The number of ladies equaled, if it did not exceed, that of tbe men, and the axteu Uon was excellent. SOIB OF THB DlSTtNOr-ISUED PCOPLX.

UOV. BLCKNKlVS CABlNtT. The gossips have been very busy, for the past two or three weeks, making up Gov. Buckner's Cabinet, but tbeir slates were all smashed by tlie announcement of the Governor himself to-day, The will be as follows: i Secretary of State Hoi-u George M. Adams, of Knox.

Secretary of State Hon. Willis Ringo. of Hickman. Adjutant General Hon. Sam E.

Hill, of Ohio. I Private Secretary Mr. Will R. Griffiths, of Oweusboroi These appointments, it is scarcely necessary to tay, met with the approval of everybody, except tne ujsappoitiied applicants, lbey are ail bouorsi worthily bestowed. Maj.

Adams is an e4-Federal soldier, served four terms in (fougreas, was four times e-ected Clerk ot tlie lower bouse of and has held the; position of Register ot tne Laud Otlice lor about three and a half years tmuer tne appointment of Gov. Ksott. He is a man of the i highest character, of strong meutai and possessed of clear judgment. He was in uo sense an applicant for the office of Secretary of State, nor lor any otner otlice id Gov. Buckner's gift.

There were reasons which induced him to become a part of the, new Administration. As his term aa Register doea not expire until next Monday, be will not assume bis new piece Lei ore "that time. He will give Strang th to Gov. Hucguer Aamimstrauon. Willis Ringo is well knowu.

He has long been a clerk in the Auditor's office, aud has served several terms as Assistant Clerk of tne Kentucky House of Hepi-eseulativea. He is a popular and accomplished gentleman, with a framing mcu nts nun exacuy for us new duUes. uicu. he win assume at once. bam HxU, of Ohio county.

He will not take charge of tbe State Guards until the 1st of October. Will Griffith, of Owensboro, ia a bright vming gentleman connected with one of tbe v-usboro newspapers.

He will make an eiflcient, discreet Private Secretary. Gov. Buckner will probably not appoint a Cidimissior of Agriculture until January 1.

Tbe member from tbe second uistnct will probably come from Louisville, while it is thought in some circles that Spalding, of tbe Fust district, will be reappointed. Tbe Governor has also the appointment of three Superintendents of the insane asylums, but tbey are not bkely to be niaue Lei ore the new year. BL5AT0R HILL TO KJKIG9C.

It la understood Adjt. Gen. Hill will appoint Cot. S. S.

Anderson Assistant Adjutant General. The reason that Senator Hill doea not at once take the office as Adjutant General is that be desires to give Gen. Caa-tleman time to complete the records of Kentucky soldiers in the war of isl-', which are aadlv delicieut. When Hill goes into office be will resign his bemtorship aud there will' be an elecilou to tdl tbe vacancy. iue chances are that bis successor will be a He-puiJican.

To do this they must get rid of the lelt-over spring stock before opemtig the lactones alter the summer's idleness, and to keep them closed this strike is g.itteu up.
