Northern Seed Oats for sale, Apply to Sam Martin, Stedmnnville, To-morrow is St. Valentino's day, but as tho Post-Olnee will not be open, the children who usually enjoy sending comic valentines will have to wait a day for their fun. The Owen County Democrat gets in the following centre shot: The average Kentucky Legislator is always whining about the Frankfort Capitol, but he never willingly loaves it.

He hangs on like grim death to an expiring 'nigger." Hn would willingly stay there the balance of his life, and would wish no greater honor than to be buried beneath its ruins. Mrx.

The only performance of the great comic opera of "Mikado" will be given in this city Monday night at the Opera House by Ford's English Opera Co. The party comprises thirty-two persons.

Mr. Ford's company is a superb one, and their interpretation of "Mikado" is said by all those who have seen it, to be matchless. It is due to our love for merriment, music and beauty to crowd the house Monday night. A fair Kentucky girl plays "Pitti Sing," and a bevy of bright and handsome Baltimore ladies comprise the chorus and the other parts. Welcome them in' "Mikado." Death of Mr Alex.

McEwan. Mr. Alex. McEwan died at his home In SouthFrankfort on Monday evening, in the 55th year of his age. He had been in failing health for the past six months, but hopes were entertained of his ultimate recovery until Monday morning, when he was stricken with paralysis and sank rapidly until his death.

The deceased was born in Deanston, Scotland, September 125, 181)1, and emigrated with his parents to this country in July, 1844, and located in this city, where he worked at his trade, that of carpenter, until 1802, when he volunteered as a private in Capt. Jas. R. Page's Company, of the Ninth Kentucky Cavalry, Col. Jacobs.

After his term of service in the Army expired he removed with his family to Indiana, where he resided for two years and then returned to this city. In 1877 he went into the furniture and undertaking business with Mr. E. Whitesides, who preceded him to the tomb but two weeks since, in which business he remained until the state of his health necessitated a dissolution of partnership last November. On the death of the late John R.

Graham, some six years since, he was elected to succeed him as Coroner and continued to hold that position until December last. Ho was a prominent member of the Odd Fellows for many years, a member of tho Methodist Church, a kind and affectouate husband and fa. ther, true to hit? friends, and a citizen who held the respect of all who know him. In November, 1855, he was married to Miss Caroline Vincent, who, together with seVen children, still survives him, to whom the warmest sympathy of a largo cjrele of friends is extended The funeral took place from tho Methodist Church Thursday afternoon, having been deferred to enable his son, Rev.
