THE I1ENTUC2Y MEAT SHOWER. We find the following paragraph in the Oskaloosa Independent I Mrs. Houston has from Kentucky, and has taken tip her abode at her home in Perry, She says that the story about the shower I 'had 'em" bad. I If 'Mrs; Hoostdn is correct as -to that I wonderful shower being entirely a fabrica-1 catior, then a great many people and I papers nave been baaiy looiea, ana especially the New York Herald, which in in 'its issue of the ZlstiasU published three column letter on the Subject.

Before too many ladies from Kentucky destroy the blissful illusion that it actually rained butcher's meat in, Bath county, it may oe wen to sum up lue -uuuings ot i tne iieraia reporter. In the Grst place, he journeyed from Louisville and found the 'location of the meat storm. It -was at Springs, in Bath county, Kentucky, twelve miles lroni Mount sterling, that, tu the lansruage of the hotel it! ramed "chicken. leeff pork or ham' or, to be more exact. it was on the Crouch two miles from Olympian Springs that the heavens distill ed a meat The Crouch farm is located in a hilly country, not remarkably well adapted to agriculture.

Perhaps there is no region in this country where a shower of meat, or for that matter, corn, bread, molasses, or whisky is more needed or would naturally I receive a more hearty reception than in I I the mountainous portion of Kentucky. I But to the shower. I Mrs. Crouch wa3 first interviewed. She I bad never seen a daily newspaper man be-1 fore, and consequently answered all hia questions.

She stated, substantially, that the storm by measure would not go in a a half bushel; that Mr. Crouch land the children said that there was something tike blood on the fence rails and chips. To the question, "Where did it come from?" Mrs. Crouch very properly replied, ''The Lord only knows. When 1 saw it, it was coming down straight or sloping." She further stated that the family dog who eat a por- tion of the storm was very sick afterwards, but she did not know that it was his Jndul gence in this provender from the skies that made him sick or not.

He had always been a healthy dog before. Mrs. Crouch and her grandson were the only persons who saw the meat fall. As to the extent of the bhower Miss Sadie RobiDSOu, who teaches school, stated that it fell over a patch of about two acres. As to the nature ot the meat we extract a statement made by Mr.

15. t. I an old nunter, as made to a small but en thusiastic audience at Olympian Springs Gentlemen, I have fit 'Lars" and other var mints in this range of mountains for thirty year, and ef I ido say it, when a bar crosses my path in the timber he is in a damn dangerous locality one of our skins has got to come off before tne dispute is ended, 1 ve all my "cutical' yit, although I have rasseled and rolled over axers of land with everything in the shape men or brote that- claims jutisdicfiorr Over the territory of Eastern Kentucky. Cheers. I have seen some of this meat that fell on old- man Crouch's farm, an' ef its meat at all it's bar meat! Now I've 'skun' more bars and chawed more of that kind of meat than any oth- i er man in this part of the United States.

That's an article I can't be deceived about. Why, Mr. Gill, you have known me and my old mammy many year, and you know that she was the 'splendidest' cook around. Any man that could'nt git fat on bar meat and sweet pertatoes when they was fixed right an' she bossed the cookin'. hungry.

Thia meat that feIi from the hevinirs on Allen Crouch's farm has got that uncommon greasy feel that I am so well acquainted with, i ana larnea to.know it by taking the jackets off of the critters and totin it over the mountains. I could not be mistaken about it. I know bar grease when I see it, an' that's the kind of fluid what come outen that meat at old Allen's and got all over my hands when I was samining it. I smelt it, too, and I know that smell as well as I know the smell of licker. Gentlemen, it's bar meat certain, or else my name ia not Benjamin rranKiin oo mucn tor Mr.

iUUngton belie! oa the subject of the ingredients of this fat old storm. Mr. Frisbie, of Mount Ster- ling, who is a practical butcher at that place, and ought to be posted on the subject of meats, actually tasted a portion of the "down pour" and stated that it did not taste like anything in the line of fidh, flesh or fowl that he had met with up to date in his travels. He it looked like mutton. Rev.

C. R. Nichols said the meat looked clean except that there was fresh looking blood oozing from it. This is the published, evidence. It 4.

Representative District being made out of a portion of Ly- on and Greenwood counties, and says: The apportionment bill passed the House, giving one Senator to this county, 'and leaving the two Representative districts just as they were. In tha Senate the bill was amended by adding Greenwood eountv to Lyon as a Senatorial district, and Greenwood county, not having population enough for two Representatives, the bill was further amended b.v making two Representative districts of Greenwood, with the addition of Center township of Lyon county to one of them. The final consideration of the bill was so near the close of the- session that no time was left for a thorough canvass of the Senate amendment and the House was obliged to concur thereia or defeat the bill altogether And that -is the way that this "something eurioos" was adopted.
