-- Misses E. & S. D. Mitchell will have their Millinery opening Saturday April 2Jthi Ladies don't fail to attend. -- There are at present nearly 300 cases of under treatment" in nati. There were 4L deaths from that disease there last week. -.

The citizens of Paris are hereby notified that the law in reference to stock running at large will from this date be strictly enforced. By the order of the City Council. -- Vandals in Clark county, broke two cross-cut saws and two plows, in draining Wash Miller's fish-pond, seined the fish all out and stoned an old negroe's house to intimidate the occupants, near by. The huge law sign of Brent & Lucas blew down on the head of Ed. Mitchell, a New York grocery drummer, on Wednesday, and awakened him to the horrible fact that signs are sometimes given when not asked for. v Kays from the sun, shining through a lamp reflector in Mrs. S. J. Turney's window, set fire to a box of dry goods notion the other day. The reflector being convex, has all the powers of concentrating the rays the sameas a sun-glass. -- Since we threw that little bomb shell filled with two-edged truths into' the old city council, we lost one subscriber and gained seven in the city. Thus it seems that the majority of our citizens are in for fair play and square business. Harrison, 'the boy evangelist, recently said to a congregation in Cincinnati, that his grand-mother was in hell. A few moments later, he pointed to a young man leaving the congregation, and remarked "there goes a young man right straight to hell." The young man turned his head .and remarked, "yes, I'm going to see your grand-mother." A stuffed crow standing on one foot, with a piece of white pape around it. throat and a pair of spectacles on, stand? in front of an old hen and rooster, the hen holding a young chick to her breast. This little tableau represents "The Christening," and is quite an attraction in a Cincinnati show window on 4th street. H. M. Koskberry has in his employ one of the sturdy young Englishmen who came to this country to learn farming. The man deposited $120 with his employer, who in turn wrill pay it back to him at the rate of ten dollars per month, for his services. This young man is near twenty years of age, and is of intellectual and cultivated appearance. He entered into a written agreement to do all kinds of farm work being exempted only from menial services, such as boot-blacking and house drudgery 0 In Criminal court this week, Wm. Bradly, white, for obtaining goods under false pretences, was sent up for one year; the case of Mrs. Moreland, for complicity in murder, was filed away with leave, which is equivalent to dismissal; Jesse and Prank Smith, for assault and battery, fined $100; Dan Eoche and Henry for selling liquor to minors, were fined $60 each; Jim Batterton and Jake Schwartz, for same, were acquitted; John Lyle, for gambling, acquitted; the North Middletown and O wings ville turnpike company fined $50 for keeping the road in bad condition. -- Yesterday morning, Mrs. Jennie Cros-land, niece of "Wm. Shaw, Sr., took her four children and went over to Shaker- town, to make their future home. Mr. .Shaw followed them to the depot, and protested against the girls being taken away, claiming that as he was their guardian, he had the right to take charge of them. Whilst in waiting for the train, some unpleasant personal remarks were uttered by both parties, but Mrs. C. was finally permitted to take her children. In expressing sympathy for Mrs. Tom Bashford made some remarks which were not complimentary to Mr. Shaw. Mr. S. and Mr. B. then exchanged a volley of words, after which they exchanged blow Mr. S. striking Ir. B. on the cheek with his cane, and Mr. B. giving Mr. S. a slap on the cheek with his open hand, calling it even. Mr. B., being much younger, larger and more powerful, desisted from prosecuting the war further, so hostilities ceased, and an -armistice was declared.
Study tiao pastil you would divine tho future Nothing oVdfdoraes passion more than silence: Few things ate impossible to' diligence and skill S'asb ribbons are tt foot wide, and are of tho brightest colors. T?he secret of felicity is a judicious interruption of routine. The only really bitter tears are those Which are shed in solitude. Scotch cassimerea with gold and silver" threads, are very fashionable for men. . Broad, nowered ribbons with silk lace borders, are fashionable, and very costly. Men do not care so much for lying as they do for being detected and told of it. There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet the enemy. The first sure symptom of a mind of health is rest of heart and pleasure felt at home. It took Longfellow one month to write "The Golden Legend" and six months to correct it. General Beauregard has been engaged for some time on a book about the war, and his MS. is now almost complete. Light shaded watered silks with large and brilliant flowers, are fashionable lor evening dress occasions this season. Maysville boys are borrowing money from their.Cincinnati friends, during the session of the Grand Jury this week. "Where he leads, I will follow," will apply to the young men again, since Mr. Barnes has shaved off his side-whiskers. He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and will see the effect when the weaving of a lifetime is unraveled. Jesse James had a $500 coffin. Two" preachers officiated at his funeral, and the choir sang, "Oh, What a Friend We Have in Jesus !" Life is full of bitter lessons, the simplest of which is that one man's fall makes forty men laugh specially if it is a dog fall, and not fair. Major N. H. Hotchkiss, the old Santa Claus of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, passed through here the other day looking for cars that were lost, strayed or stolen. The marriage of a good-looking and well-to-do Cincinnati lumber merchant to one of our handsome and wealthy bluegrass belles, is a near-in-the-future event. Frank Armstrong received a note from Miss Marie Barnes Wednesday, saying "Georgetown is lovely, and everybody in it. Thirty confessions and a crowded court-house." Black bordered ribbon with a brown and violet shaded center, of watered texture, is now displayed as one of the new and novel features in the shop windows in Cincinnati. Deep red, blue, brown and yellow straws in cheap Spring millinery, are having a heavy run in Cincinnati, but will not take in the country. They are too utterly Dutchy. Parasols with huge boquets of pionas and roses :as large as saucers, perched upon top, are now displayecbin tho windows of all fashionable notion stores in Cincinnati. They wear a very circussy appearance, and are too utter for ordinary use. The following is the early method of counting: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, oneteen, twoteen, threeteen, forteen, fiveteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twoty, threety, etc., fourty, fivety, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, tenty. -- The Trader, Turfman, Farmer and Sportsman. Alex. McClintock pronounces oyer one fourth of the wheat crop ruined bv the- freeze. ..George Wilkes' colts took the lead in the sale of Woodward & Brassfield at Lexington. Kidd's two-days' sale of 131 horses last week aggregated $36,270, an average of $276 per head. See the card of Caliban, property of W. S. Buckner. He is one of the finest bred horses in the State. Alex. McClintock -will hold a public sale of Short-horn cattle at Missouri Valley Junction on the 22d inst. Also, at Iemaxs, on Mrty 5th
sold for $20,575. The sales of both days aggregated $53,025, for the 157 head. The time for the races to begin-at Lexington at 12 o'clock instead of 2, gives great cause of complaint to the city people, but is satisfactory to many from the countrv. Albert Trotter, an old bachelor well-known in Bourbon, Nicholas, Eobertson and Bracken counties, is again making a traveling season with a "Lexington" stallion, in Mason and Lewis counties. He pays no license and exchanges his goods for board. -- Millersburg Items. Jim Waller asserts that he is not in that ring. Some of the farmers are grazing what wheat the frost didn't get. A wedding in "high life" over on the hill is one of the society topics. Charlie Miller and Jimmie Butler are doing Iowa with a car load of cattle. W. H. H. Johnson has bought a lot and store-room at Hooktown, from H. C. Feeback, for $1,300. f)r. Waller, of Lancaster, will move into the Joe Will Miller residence vacated by the News, in a few days. H. IC. Taylor was in this city a few days since. He is the same jovial fellow notwithstanding his recent reverses. Pleasant street has been treated to a layer of nicely broken rocks an dthe gray haired man knows he will not live to see them worn down. v The weather is not favorable for big fish stories. How;ever some of the boys managed to hook a few shiners and swore they caught twenty. Several dwellings glisten with i new coats of paint, and the white wash brush is worked busily. Even Uncle Johnnie Padgett knows that commencement is coming. The Zetegathean society will give an oyster supper this evening. They desire toaugmentthe number of books in their library, and consider this a good way of doing it. Mike Thornton desires all who wi9h buggy painting and repairing for the June races, had better send" in their work immediately so as to advoid the grand-rush of noxt month. "The poet at large has returned from his etherial sailing and to the frigid, stern realties oflife, to moodily sit upon that familiar stool, and ponder at will, the actions and words of an unrelenting unforgiving, human public. A gentleman who recently lost a valuable (?) dog bv poison, said that "the scoundrel who poisoned Watch is 'a meaner mantnan old Tom Crittenden, the murderer gov ernor of Missouri."

SEIiliS BROTHERS' Six Enormous Railroad Showfl, Now United, Exhibiting In Three Rings and Under SixBlgients, Etc., Etc The Sells Brothers afe on the foadj this season, with an exhibition which, from its altogether unprecedented magnitude and its startling departure from the usages of canvass exhibitions, should, and will prove a formidable rival to the best of the monster entainmenta which periodically visit us. Having effected u consolidation of all the amusement enterprises, they find the necessity Absolute to to use six tents in order to satisfactorily display theirmultiform attractions. These tents are each of colossal construction and number four more than haye ever Deen used by kindred exhibitions. The patronage of this great shofr has been commensurate with its magnitude, and the occasions are not infrequent when the management are obliged to give three exhibitions a day in order to hold the people. The parade, which is spoken of as beingf one of the finest ever put upon the streets, will introduce the "Four Handsomest Women in America," who have been selected in response to liberal advertising during the past winter, and who will appear in the new tableau of "Columbia and her Court of Beauty." The consolidation of the six extensive menageries under their control enables the Sells Brothers to offer for inspection a zoological collection which has no precedent and which will include a number of recent importations of animals and new to America. Among these are an Aurochs, from the forests of Lithuania, an Abyssinian Vlacke Vark and Malacca Babiroussa. A pair of Woolly Elephants, from the Malay Archipelago, will excite the attention of the curious, and are the only ones ever brought from their native land. The monster pair of Hippopotami, exhibited through America by this management last season, and which were then believed to have attained their full growth, have still further proportions and are still growing. It is confidently that the female will soon add to the hippopotami population of America. The circus department is exceptionally attractive, and within it are assembled the most celebrated performers of the day. The undisputed champion bareback equestrian, Charles Fish, rides both ifternoon and evening, and the the noted Andalusian celebrity, Signorita Adelaide Oordona, an equestrienne who has no eqnal, has been especially engaged from her European managers for a limited season of twenty-eight weeks. The show will exhibit at Paris, Tuesday April 25th.

Wicked Old Boh. Bob Ingersoll replied to Talmage, Sunday in New York. He said amongmany pungent sayings, " 'I've misquoted the story of Jonah,' Talmage says. "When somebody had been guilty of blasphemy the winds rose ; they tried to get Jonah ashore, but couldn't do it. The sea waxed He was swallowed by a whale. The people of Minerva wrapped all their cattle up in sackcloth, and if anything would have pleased God, I should think that would. Jonah sat under a gourd, and God made a worm out of some omnipotence He had left over, and set it at work on the gourd. Talmase don't think Jonah was in the whale's belly he staid in his mouth. He says he might have been in the whale's stomach, and avoided the action of the gnstric juice by walking up and down Imagine Jonah sitting on a back tooth, leaning against the upper jaw, longingly looking through the open mouth for sign& of land ! But that's Scripture, and you've got to believe it or be damned." -- BARNES NOTES. Cynthiana News. There is no question but what Barnes was whip-sawed in this lace. We hope to hear a good report from the great evangelist and his work at Georg'etown,the "Belle of the Blue Grass." Rev. J. R. Barbee was so edified with Barnes' preaching that' he went over to Georgetown Monday to remain during the week. Barnes is credited with having said in a sermon at Georgetown "that the devil has captured Cynthiana," A casual observer would have thought so had he have hap pened along last week. As a whole we guess it was a success. He leaves many admiring friends in this place who believe firmly in Barnes and his teachings. Also scores of persons who like him but have a very poor opinion of his teachings. There were about $220 collected to pay the expenses of the revival which was disposed of as follows: Board bill at the Smith House, $50; hall rent, $70; incidental expenses, $5; leaving $100, which was turned over to tie Barnes temily . t
