for horses and sheds for stock will be

will be the water facilities. A good

It le for the purpose of diffusing this knowledge

Postponement of the Poblir Library
Gift Concert. -- It will be seen by the an
nouueeraent in our advertising columns that the
third gift concert of the Public Library of Ken•

been poatponed until July tt This postponement
has not been occasioned. as we are advised by
Gov. Bramlette, by the small sales of tickets; on
the contray,tbe sales nave been unnsua , ly large—
much linger than at either of the preceding con•
certs—so large, indeed, that the time given by
this ninetyday posponement will enable Gov •
Bramlette to dispose of every ticket and insure a
full drawing without any reduction or sealing of
the gifts.as has heretofore been the case. Gov. B.
'Pee his way so clearly that he announces In the
most positive and unequivocal language that the
drawing will take place July 5, and that it will
be a full one. The owner of the ticket drawing
the capital gift will get ;100,000 in greenbacks
without any discount, and" so of all the other
gifts. The money sufficient to pay all the gifts
-Ih.ooo in green backa—ls already on deposit in
the Farmers' and Drovers' Bank, set apart for the
payment of the gifts and can be used for no other,
purpose, as will be seen by the cashier's certifi
cate. With a knowledge of these facts—and we
do not hesitate to guarantee their scrupulous fni•
fillmeat —there will be such a demand for the
tickets now on band that In all probability not •
single one will be left for sale weeks before the
time of drawing. There never was ic z falrer or
more honorably conducted enterprise before the
public, and it has, as it deserves, the entire con
fidence of oar people. It is one of those schemes
in which the purchasers of tickets feel the most
positive assurance that the drawing will be fair,
for It will be controlled by the most prominent
and distinguished citizens of the city and State,
and (hose who draw gifts will be certain to get
tae money themoment thetr tickets are presented.

One prisoner asseria, in a serious' maw
ner, that One night, shortly after mid
night., he was tying on hls bunk in his
cell, wide awake. Presently he heard a
light *tea coming up the stairs,- and
along the corridor to MO coll. Ile look•
ed up, and on the foot of his beilist a
female figure; the opparition staid brit a
moment, then disappeared. This oc
curred one night list week.. A prisoner
who was continedin thefaillast fall says
that very frequently the ghost appeared
in his cell, and that one night he throw
his pillow at it. At another ..Onse he
waswalking through the jail, and be
beard the ghost walk past him,. and that
he kiclead at it, and that his foot seemed
to comeln contact with some heavy
body, but be could see nothing, although
this was In broad day light. Another
inmate says that it came to his cell' one
night and jerked the bed clothing off of
his bed. Thinking that some one was
playing a trick on him, be got up and,
although the gas was burning in the
jail, he could see no one in front of his
cell, yet ho could hear a chain rattling '
furiously right before his cell door. 'At
another time, last fall, when all the cells
were filled, one man was committed to
jail for some minor offense, and be was
permitted to sleep outside of the cells on
a cot.. Next morning he told the Sher
iff, in a very serious mailuer, that the
jail was undoubtedly haunted. That
durang the night, a large, most hideous
and wicked looking black cat, with eyes
like big balls of lire, came up to his cot,
and made an unearthly yawl. lie raised
up and threw his boots at it, when it
spurred up its back, and converted it
self into a wild boar. It so frightened
him, that he called loudly for the Sheriff
to come to his relief, when the thing
disappeared, and was not seen again.
Au old lady now living in Uniontown,
and who was a member of SheriffSang
ston's family, about thirty years ago,
nays the prisoners confined in the old
Jail, always contended that &ghost made
nightly visits to the jail, rattling a chain
and slamming the cell doors. During
Sheriff Walker's term of office, the pris
°nem sometimes declared that a ghost
would come to the jail, pull the clothing
from their beds, and otherwise torment
them. It is a my.tery, and is creating
a great deal of excitement among the
prisoners. One colored man confined
in the jail, will not sleep by himself, and
begged a white prisoner to permit him
to sleep on the floor in his cell. The
white man consented, and they both oc
cupy the same cell at night. A great
many skeptics in town have expressed
themselves willing to go to the jail and
discover what is creating all this uproar,
but so far they have not asked Sheriff
lilessmore to allow them to do so, al
though any responsible persons may
stay in the jail over night, and if they
can,, discover the ghost. But up to this
writing, no one seems to have the cour
age to do so. Some say they don't care
about being locked up in the jail all
night; others, that the jail is such a drea
ry looking place, they don't care about
visiting it at all, on any occasion. So
we presume the ghost will not be molest
ed in its nightly visits to our jail.—Un

The justice of the verdict rendered by the
public years ago in favor of the Mexican ifustang
Liniment wart be apparent to all who have used
that famous preparation or seen it used. Its
healing tnanenee is trresistable. The most ob
stinate forms of neuralgia or rheumatic disease
are totally cured by it, and that In an inconoetva
ble short space of time. External Injuries or
sores, whether of man or beast, as well as all
equine or bosun maladies fur which a liniment
may be used, are speedily remedied by its use.
Remember It is not merely a palliative bat an
eradicant of disease.
Buil Forfeited.—lt will be remem
bered that some weeks since Babe Mont
gomery, whoseachievements aro so well
known throughout Washington county,
was arrested at Pittsburgh, on the charge
of attempting to shoot Robert Edwards,
in a saloon in Pittsburgh. "Babe was
held In two thousand dollars bail for his
appearance for trial at the next court.
Mr. T. Schild entered the necessary se
curity fur his appearance upon receiving
an indemnifying bond, which has been
entered in the Prothonotary's office at
this place. The sequel is given in the
Pittsburgh Dispatch of Thursday last.
When the hail was given District Attor
ney Bayne entertained suspicions that
"Babe" Intended making his escape.
and at the earliest moment he called the
attention of Judge Sterrett, of the Crim
inal Court, to the fact. The Judge int
mediateiy instructed the Grand Jury
then in session to find an indictment
against Montgomery, in order that he
might be arrested, brought before the
Court, and required to give a larger
hail. The officers however failed to find
him, anti when the case came up for tri
al in default of his appearance, the bail
was declared forfeited and it was subse
quently paid in full by Mr. Schild. At
the time the Court ordered the Grand
Jury to find an indictment against
Montgomery, it was considered by some
an unusual proceeding, but from what
can be learned of the case the District
Attorney was doubtless right in his sum.
piciens. It is stated on tolerably good
authority that Montgomery fully inten
ded to evade justice when ho procured
bail. He is said to be worth an estate of
some value, and Mr. Schild will, in all
probability, ho reimbursed for the mon
ey ho paid. Montgomery is reported to
have told certain parties before ho left
there;that ho was willing to pay that
amount out of his estate to escape the
clutches of Judge Sterrett. Ho would
go, he said, out into the world, he did
not know nor care particularly where;
but would in future try to mend his
ways, and if heaver came again it would
be as a different man from what he has
been. Warrants aro still out for him as
a fugitive from justice, and it may be
that be will yet be arrested.— Washing

went up town, the boatleaving without

on board. The boat so:landed to at Van
port, and the maw procured a horse and
wagon and started to Rochester after the
pilots; but in the integlat the pilots re
turned by river in a skiff. They created
quite an excitement by signaling the pi
lots and mate with the whistle, and quite
a number of men and boys gathered on
the river bank to see what was wrong.
