A. Gucnther. Ksch bore well his part. The singing of Messrs. Hathaway, I.

J. Kennedy and Cain was, as usual, much enjoyed. Tho dancing of John Hathaway and Frank Grimes was especially good when they bad banjo music. off many laughable hits as was expected from their' reputation. Mr.

Steiuau's hits as Tambo were very decided they almost smashed his tambourine. Peally, though, he made a good first appearance. Mr. Taylor has" already made a reputation as a humorist, which needed no advancement, and Mr. McFarland is simply a masterly delineator of negro charucter who always brought down the house.

A rich addition on Saturday night was the banjo performance of Prof. Thompson aud Arthur Weir's old I.lack Joe. But our space is too limited to mention each performance at length. The result was also decidedly pleasing as the net proceeds amounted to $'210 25. Many other citizens co-operated earnestly in this good work.

Tho Oweocboro Silver Cornet Hand generously turned out both days with their music, and Gcrmania band willingly gave their time and music. Captain Paeon furnished the band wagon without charge, and the Examiner and esse Nil en offices gave tho printing. Put much of the success is attributable to the assistance of tho ladies. Miss Weitlauf gave her valuable aid to the minstrels during the rehearsals, aod added much to the pleasure of the occasion with her music. Misses Uache and Irene Field, Annie Howard, Achsah Miller, Ida Pelt, Sallie Smith, Pixie Woolfolk, Florence Griffith and Jennie Trabue, assisted much, by the grace and skill with which they disposed of the tickets.

Miss Uache Field alone selling eighty tickets. The Young Men's Christian Association furnished their organ, and many citizens joined in this conspiracy to do good. Despite tho cool fall weather Mrs. Gae-ser continues to make the delicate summer ices. A mass meeting for the benefit of the Southern sufferers was held Sunday night, at the Piptist church.

McIIeury was then called upon by the chairman, and spoke earnestly. Dr. Coleman ctosed with an energetic and warm appeal, and appointed the Revs, llendy, Malloy, Hawkins and Settle to wait upon the audience for their contributions.

The collection amounted to 843, which are to pass through the hands of Mr. Waodling, the treasurer selected by a former mass meeting, to the Howard Association at Vicksburg. Though the amount appears small, it is a liberal contribution, considering the fact that for two weeks, in various ways, the city has been called upon for aid and has responded nobly. Fruits, candies, and every variety of confections at Mrs. Gasser's, on After a short talk at Whitesville, by Rev.

J. D. Arnold, on "secret motives and phrenology," a gold necklace was exhibited, with the statement that it was for the most popular young lady in the It was agreed that the vote of the house be taken to determine the ownership. Etch vote was taxed at ten cents, the purpose of the election being to raise money to supply the new Baptist church with stoves. Eight of the Whitesville belles were put in nomination and fifteen minutes given to make the canvass.

At the expiration of that time all names were dropped, except the two getting the highest vote. Fifteen minutes were given the two to canvass. Oa the fiaal count the prize was awarded to Miss Laura Hale. Tho financial result was one hundred and fourteen dollars and twenty cents. The work of overhauling, whitewash- 0, ing and airanging the grounds of the Daviess County Fair Association, for the October exhibition, was commenced Monday.

The prospects are very encouraging for the best Fair in the Green River section for a number of years. Dor Hie HornwHtaoeSilKeitry Aaythlng; In our Southern travels, we have often observed a horae shoe hanging over the door of the rude log cabins, which composed the negro quarters, and upon inquiring its sig nificance, were told that it wns done to pre vent a visit irom wncnes.

It readied the hearts of a generous people, who made a liberal contribution to aid in relieving those unfortunate sufferers.

Pr. Todd was born and raised in Fayette county, Ky. He graduated at Paoville, and after devoting himself for sometime to the study of medicine, located at Rodney, and practiced his profession for some years. Iu 1850 he came to Daviess and engaged in farming for many years. He was rewarded with substantial success, though its fruits werelost by the war and by the vicissitudes of business, in which he was involved as surety.

For many years he discharged faithfully the duties of School Commissioner. Through all the events of a long life he has been known among his fellow-men as a true christian gentlemen, and his death is much lamented by many friends. It follows all too soon upon tho loss of two sons whose lives attested the value of their father's example, and is a sad blow to a devoted wife and true sons.

Hobbs, which created such genuino anxiety in this city, was sadly ended by death last Wednesday night.

In this lamentable event, a devoted family is bereft of a dear daughter and sister, and the community of a lovely example of youthful womanhood.

Her first mile was made in ten minutes and twenty-five seconds, her speed being slacked with some irregularity until it took over fourteen initiates to make a mile, though her strength seemed to be well sustained "throughout. The best time was msde ou the last mile, which she walked in ten minutes and nine seconds. The total time consumed in walking the fifty miles was ten hours filty-ot minutes and thirty-six seconds. The walker's costume was varied from time to time at least in color. Sometimes she aj -pearcd in a pink tarlatau dress and pink hoso aud at others in bluo.

The dress was always decidedly short. Considerable interest was manifested in tho performance, largo numbers of people during the time having lingered about the public square both by day and night to see this unusual apparition.

Ice cream and sherbet at Mrs. Gasser's We received last week too late for publication in our last issue a communi cation, commenting sharply on the letter of Ennis Combs, from Lcwisport. It was from our Hawesville correspondent, who shows that he did not refer in a former letter to the Hancock Democrats in the passage objected to by Mr. Combs.

As the controversy originated in a miscon struction of his letter, it need not be pro longed. A live lion has been discovered in the neighborhood of Knottsville and Pellville. He has been seen by several re liable citizens and pursued by some of the more adventurous. His presence is a great mystery to the citizens. There is certainly a largo lion in the woods up there, or else a little ly in in the accounts we get.

An injunction has been issued where by the city of Owensboro is enjoined from- paying to W. W. Chambers his salary as City Judge after the 4th of September, and Chambers is also enjoined from collecting fees or any money arising from said office. The injunction was issued on the petition of Col. Baker Boyd.

The proposition in substance is essentially the same as the previous ono except that they desire to dispense with the stand-pipe system for two years. They purpose using the direct pressure system only, putting in three engines, and furnishing the city with three instead of two million gallons of water daily.

Mr. Long thinks this a much better plan as steam will be kept up all the time, and save the additional expense of erecting a stand-pipe. They will commence work next week. Corporation Notice.
