The water hardly flowed throuzh the | north and the middle forks of the Hol: Louisa Fork of the Big Sandy became a suce sion of foul puddies and the bedof Maiden Spring creek became a dusty culch. The leaves | fell off the trees, until the forests became as Dare as in midwinter. and the grass was burned ap by thesun.

One | atterooon the inhabitants of Pineville, the | county seat of Beli county, were astounded by | the aj ce of runners who came trom set- | tiements along Puckett’s, Hduse’s, Straight and Greasy creeks. They all came to find Dr. Burch-| feld, the only physician in the county. They | told one story, of the sudden appearance of a bloods flux witn new symptoms among their friends, which usually proved fatal within forty- eight hours, This almost produced a panic. ‘Thereafter the reports of the spread of the dis- ease seemed to travel faster, and at length the outside world heard of the’ condition ot aifairs up in the mountains of Fastera Kentucky. ‘The work of the plazue cannot yetfbe fully as- certained. The disea-e hasbeen most fatal high Up on themountains that divide the two states, In Bell county and the eastern townships of Knox 211 deaths have been so far reported. Harian county 200 people have died. In Wise county, Va.. the mortality has been more fright- fal still. The Gaysville Times has reported 150 deaths, including the entire Clark family ot five who lived at the toot of Garrison's Gap. In ad- dition to this. 41 deaths nave been reportedalong Gold’s Camp creek, includingan entire family of four. Along Guests River creek 25 more have died. Six people were buried in one yraveyard there in one day. Crane's Nest isa four-corners tettlement in West county, near the Dicke county line. A gentleman who rode oy from that place to Ervinton, a dist $1 miles, said yesterday that he pass where a few more than 400 people lived the month of September. but in the months 116 of them had died. The po: of Ervinton and vicinity is abont Of these | 4 have died of the e in sx weeks. | The suffering in s« neizhborboods and in, some families has been much greater than in | others. At Poor Fork Host Oftic e are 25 new graves, althoush population is I than 100. Along Moceasin creek there were 30° families, number in all 180 people. and of these but S2are left. In the Moccasin valley the horrors of starvation were added to thos of the placne. There was not a well person in | the community, and althouzh there was corn | enough on hand, no one could take it to mill. There was no one able to cook it if it had been ground and there was no water fit to cook the meal in if it could have been obtained. Abra- bam Smalley lived in this 'y with his wife fad three children. He was taken first, but his wite and the two older children followed during the day. When a neighbor called afew davs later he found the man dead in one corner of | the room with bis two children beside him. On @bed in another corner was the dead body of the wife, and the third child, a baby two years old, lay by her side. It bad died of starvation, and in its hunger had torn the breasts of its mother with its teeth. Giadesville and Lebanon, two Kentucky vil- lages, are almost depopulated. At Gladesville there lived a Methodist circuit rider, the Rev. Joseph Emmons. who received $250 for his year’s salary, the most of it coming from a missionary society. He had a wife and three children to support on this. When the plague broke ont in the village he devoted his whole time to the eare of the sick. He was at once physician and nurse, and when the disease had run its fatal course he gave the dying the consolation of his faith. Almost witout help, for the people in their terror gave up all hope and sat down to dle, be made rough coffins and dug shallow graves to bury the dead. When at last his wife and two of his children became victims there Was no one to lend him a heiping hand. In one day they were alt dead, and ou the next day he knelt alone beside the one grave which he had dug with hisown hand More than one-half of the people of this village have died, and the rest woald gladly leave it they had the means, or koew where they onght to go to escape the plague. Out of a population of 22,000 people in the stricken section, more than 1,200 deaths have deen reported, ‘and well-intormed people like Dr. Bair, of Mount Pleasant viliage. and the Rev. W. H. Childers. the presiding elder of the Barboursville district of the Methodist chureh, say that at least 1,500 people have died from its effects, the most of wiom were children. To add to the distress, forest fires have broken out on the mountains and are sweeping every- before them. The trees with the mast, on the people depend to tattea their hogs, are being ‘royed, cornfields are burned over, audcabins and barns swept out of existence. One viliage.

From the New Haven News, A good story was told at the Scoville house in Waterbury yesterday, during the settlement of a number of election bets. During the Polk | campaign much interest was taken in Water- bury in the result. and party strife ran high be- tween whigs and democrats. Waterbury was only a little village at that time and it had no railway communications. It was also before the days of the telegraph, and a number of poll- ticians made up a purse and hired Col. Richard Welton, proprietor of tie New Haven stage line, to make a special trip to New Haven and get the returns. The crowd waited anxiously on the tavern steps all through the atternoon of the day of Col. Welton’s trip, and when he came in sight with horses smoking from their long drive, he stood up in his wagon and called to the expec- tant crowd: “New York's gone 5,000.” “For whom?” arose on every side. The colone! jumped from his wagon, hesitated & moment, scratched his head and then blurted out: "Weill I swan, I forgot to ask.” The feelings of the politicians can be better imagined than described. A Modern Fable. ‘From the Philadelphia Call, A Donkey fell into a deep hole and, after nearly starving, caught sight of a passing Fox, and implored the stranger to help him out. “Zam too small to aid you,” sald the Fox, “but I will give you some good advice, Only a few rods away is a big, strong elephant, Call to him and he will get you out im a |iffy.” After the Fox had gone the Donkey thus rea- soued with himseif: “Iam very wi of nourishment.

A telegram to the New York Herald from Omaha, Neb., December 6, says: Meager details reached here to-day of one of the most diabolical wholesale butcheries ever committed in this state—the killing of five persons by one man, followed by the suicide of the murderer. The | Scene of the slauzhter is the town of Walworth, | Custer cout locality jout telegraphic | facilities, which fact accounts for the time taken ry to reach the outside world.

THE MURDERER. The perpetrator was Thomas or Timothy Fur- quin, who was a rejected suitor of one of the young ladies, it is not known which. All par- ties were residents of the town where the tragedy occurred. The motive for this horrible butchery was Jealousy. The two young ladies have for some time been receiving the atten- tious of Watkins and Williams. aud it was gen- erally supposed that there was to be a double wedding about Christmas time. Young Fur- quin has always been considered an exceedingly quict, industrious and inoffensive young fellow, and though it was an open secret that he had b adiniter of and suitor for one of the Finley qirls and had been rejected, no one ever ht that he was capable of such a crime. for some time been siving tokens of his endiy teelings toward the youny men who proved successful in winning the favor of the girls, but no one seems to have ever heard him niake an open threat. THEIR LAST DANCE. On Wednesday night the two Finley girls, in company with their lovers (Watkins and Wil- liams), attended adanee. Youn Farquin had asked one of the girls to go with him, but she declined on the score, it is believed, of a pre- vious engagement. This seems to have been | the acine of his bitterness over his unrequited love, and to have driven him into a murderous a suitor for Mary Fannie Finley g renzy. He did not go to the dance, but laid in | wait for the party, nursing his hatred and plan- | ning revénge.

Se adics as Billiard Players, From the Pittsburg Chronicle, “I saw in some eastern paper this morning,” said the agent of a large billiard manufactory yesterday, “‘that ladies could never learn te play billiards any better than they could to play base i. Now, I don’t think that is just to the dies at all.” “Why? Do they ever make good players?” in- quired the reporter, “Well, Pil tell you. A lady hasn't the chance @ man has to go into a billiard-hall and learn by watching good players, and on that account cannot learn by herself. She must have a teacher. If she has a teacher and learns to make a single shet, she becomes interested and aims to learn more. exactly like her sister who Is learning to play the piano and who can play one tune.” ‘Well, do they ever make as good players as men?” “Those who have a teacher whom they can watch, and have the chance to practice, do in- deed. They can manage the balls much better | than a man, because they have a more delicate touch. Why, I have an aunt who has beaten every man she ever played. She can play much better than I can, and i consider m: elf’ above the average. ‘hen there is Mrs. Buzinger, of Chicago, who travels with her busband, and gives exhibitions of her exquisite playing. I could name you any number of ladies in this sity who play good games, but they wouldn't @ it. “Say,” continued the gentleman, as the re- porter turned to leave, “did you ever think of the distance a man travels when he playsa game of billiards? Ihave watched all kinds of men play, and [ have tound some who walk a mile ina single game. The average is about a quar- ter of amileto a game, 80 thatan av player who plays 10 games during an evening walks two miles and a half before he gets thro They don’t seem to feel it, either. Why, I have seen men who are on the street all das. start to play a game of billiards becanse it didn’t require much use of their tired muscles, and then walk from 5 to 10 miles during the evening.” ——_—_---_____ A Woman of Business, From the Chicego Sun.

MISS BOYNTON’S CASE OF SKIN AND BLOOD DISEASE-THE MOST REMARK- ABLE CURE ON RECORD. I have been afflicted for one year and nine months with what the doctors called rupla, I was taken with dreadful pains in my head and vody, my feet became 80 swoi en that I was perfectly helpless, sores broke out on my body and face, my appetite left me. I could not sleep nights 8 flesh, and sovn became so wretched that I longed to die. 1n this condition, after trying vari- ous remedies, I engaged two homeopathic physicians, Dr. and Dr, ——, and was under their treatment syearanda half, and failed to get even temporary re- Hef, My disease grew worse; my sufferings became ter- rible. I tried “faith cure.” but it was unsuccessful Kind friends then tried to get me into the City Hospital, but the superi .tendent, after neeing me, declined to ad- mit such a case as mine there, and said I would not live ‘six weeks unless I was relieved. On the 20th of April last, I sent forDr. F. M. Blod- gett. of Boston. He came, and, after an examination, vronounced my case tne most hopeless he had ever wit: nessed, My photograph, which was then taken at his desire, while I lay propped up in bea, shows the disease ‘as it appeared on my face: but no picture could ‘possibly indicate how much pain and suffering I oudured. The | eruption had increased to great burrowing, foul-smell- :28 sors. from which » reddisi matter constapily poured, forming crusts of great thickness. Other sores appeared on various parts of my body, and I became so weak that I could not leave my b d. In this condition, and by advice of Dr, Blodgett, I be- gan the use of the Curiecra Remeptes, the RESOLVEXT internally three times per day, and the Curicura and Curicura Soap externally. In just sixty days, ie.. June 20, I was so far recovered as to be able to go | gallery and sit for my photograph, which shows more than words can do the wonderful cure these remedies have wrought in less than nine weeks. The sores have alldis ppeared from my face aud body, my appetite and strength have returned: I am tree from pain, my fi sh is increasing, aud I can go about andenjoy life My restoration to perfect health is now only a matter of afew weeks.
