He settled at Simon Kenton's station, near Washing- ton, Mason co., Ky., in 1786, only two years after it was built, and remained in it 4 years ; then settled and lived outside of the station until 1794, when he removed across the Ohio river, purchased 1,000 acres of land, and laid out Aberdeen, the "Gretna Green" of Ky., opposite Mays- ville.

Nov. 23 -- Burning of the Drennon House, at Covington ; several guests badly burned ; one (L. S. Waugh, of Carlisle) dies from his injuries.

Nov. 26-Re-interment at Frankfort, of

the remains of Thornton Lafferty and two others. (S. Thos. Hunt's body was re- moved by his father, Wm. Hunt, to Mays- ville, shortly after he was shot.) [See ante, pp. 145-6]. It is thus described in the Yeoman :

" The funcral of the Burbridge victims on Saturday last was the largest and most interesting ever witnessed in this city. At 312 P. M., an escort of 250 men-con- sisting of two military companies from Lexington, the corps of cadets from the Kentucky Military Institute, and the Val- ley Rifles of Frankfort-were formed in front of the Capital Hotel. A beautiful funeral car, adorned with evergreens and white flowers-upon which were borne the three coffins containing the remains-stood in the midst of these soldiers. All the streets were crowded with citizens on foot and in vehicles ; and when the procession moved to the cemetery the city was almost entirely deserted. At the cemetery, Elder Jos. D. Pickett, of Lexington, offered an earnest and eloquent prayer ; after which, three volleys of musketry were fired over the graves, and the procession returned to the city.

"This demonstration had no semblance of a political character. It was not de- signed to inflame the passions of any per- son or party. It was a simple act of jus- tice to the memory of three innocent men- whose lives were taken without trial, and without the authority of any Christian law or precedent! It was due to the state of Kentucky and to the government of the United States that some expression-tes- tifying a belief in their innocence, and a horror at the savage manner of their death - should be made by the people. We are glad to announce that it has been well and truly done."

Nov. 30-Curious correspondence (7 let- ters) between the committees of the two Synods of Ky. (Northern and Southern) in reference to " Some plan by which the en- tire Presbyterian church in Ky. can be united in the hearty support of Centre College."

Dec. 4-A young man, Role Tyrec, taken from his father's house, in the upper end of Montgomery co., by 4 or 5 men, shot dead and buried. The alleged murderers were followed into Lewis co., and Benj. Franklin killed and two others wounded and taken to jail at Mountsterling. Four of the pursuing party were arrested for the murder of Franklin; two were acquitted by the examining court, the others not ready for trial ; a man named Mays was bailed, and Murrell Tyree, not being able to procure bail, placed in charge of an officer and guard. Dec. 14, a party of 30 or more armed and disguised men wrested him from the guard and hung him.

Dec. 7-John H. Surratt, whose mother was hung on a false charge as one of the participants in the assassination of Pres- ident Lincoln, declares, in a public lecture at Rockville, Maryland. that there was "no intention to kill the President, but

only to kidnap and carry him off as a pris- oner into the Confederacy."

Dec. 13-Senator Thos. C. McCreery, of Ky., endeavors to introduce into the U. S. senate a resolution providing for the re- moval and re-interment of the 17,000 sol- diers buried on part of the Arlington estate opposite Washington city [directed to be buried there in a feeling of unworthy spite- work], and the negro cabins on another part-in order that it may be given up to the daughter of George Washington Parke Custis, who is now the widow of Gen. Rob- ert E. Lee ; " who owns, but does not oc- cupy, the home of her fathers." His speech advocating it was eloquent and touching ; but it provoked the wordy in- dignation of senators, who possessed less of heart and of justice than of partisan prejudice. The senate refused to receive the resolution, after he had asked leave to withdraw it, by a vote of 59 to 4.

Dec. 15-On July 1, 1869, there were in bond in the 7th ( Lexington) district 3,138,- 091 gallons of whisky ; Oct. 1, 1870, 15 months after, the amount had been reduced to 768,825 gallons.

Dec. - Benj. Coffey, of Adair co., a commission merchant at Lebanon, Marion co., commits suicide on the railroad be- tween Cincinnati and Louisville-for the express purpose, it is charged, of securing to his family $40,000 for which he had re- cently insured his life.

Dec. 26-John R. Alexander, of Paris, skated a quarter of a mile in 4834 seconds, beating two young men in a buggy drawn by a fast trotting horse. A young man in Covington skated from opposite 9th street, on Licking river, up to a point opposite the long tunnel on the Ky. Central rail- road, 1012 miles, and back, in 2 hours.

Dec. 28-The thermometer, in northern Ky., 10º below zero.

A few iniles off, near Watkinsville, they attacked some negroes and wounded 3, but the ne- groes were armed, killed one and wounded another of the attacking party, driving them off. A publie meeting at Georgetown denounced the outrages, sympathized with the negroes, and called upon the state au- thorities to arrest and punish the perpe- trators.

Jan. 4-Legislature ir ets in adjourned session. .. 26-Instructs Ky. :. nators in congress and requests representatives to secure the passage of an act providing pen-

Jan. 5 -- Gov. Stevenson's message says total state debt (exclusive of school bonds) on Oct. 10, 1870, was $1,424,394 ; of which $68,394 is past due and awaiting presenta- tion for payment-interest thereon having ceased; and $309,300 is the balance due for military bonds due in 1895. To meet this, the U. S. government still owes, on advances made by Ky. during the war, $1,193,761; and the state has, in sinking fund resources, $2,539,297. The total re- ceipts of revenue, in year ending Oct. 10, 1870, were $924,602, and total expendi- tures $1,082,639; deficit $85,889, besides exhausting balance in the treasury Oet. 10, 1869, $72,148. This was caused by pay- ment of $172,243, in part of extraordinary appropriations, for which no provision was made at the time. The balance of those extraordinary appropriations, not yet paid, is $193,201. To meet these, he recom- mends "a slight increased rate of taxa- tion," rather than continued temporary loans from the sinking fund.

Jan. 7-Gov. Stevenson, deeming it un- constitutional, returned to the house, with his veto, a bill relieving Benj. Evans, of Garrard co., of all disabilities as a minor, and investing him with all the civil rights and privileges of a person 21 years of age. The house unanimously (71 voting) sus- tained the veto. Three other local bills also, passed at the close of the last session, were vetoed, and the vetoes sustained unanimously.

Jan. 11-A communication to the senate from Samuel B. Churchill, secretary of state, shows the amount of interest paid by the state from Oct. 11, 1869, to Oct. 10, 1870, $187,839.

Jan. 12-Legislature elects Jno. Martin, jr., public binder-Martin 67, Edmund P. Noble 58. [John C. Noble was elected by the last legislature, but subsequently re- signed, owing to his disabilities under the XVth Amendment to the U. S. constitu- tion : the governor appointed his son, E. P. Noble, to fill the vacancy until this meeting of the legislature.]

Jan. 19-The ten-per-cent. conventional interest bill defeated in the house, which body, by 47 to 44, passed a substitute sub- mitting the question to a vote of the peo- ple. The senate refused to concur; but passed a bill, by 15 to 12, which also passed the house, March 9, by 41 to 27. The house, by 26 to 41, refused to make the rate 8 per cent. [See p. 210.]

barns, stables, haystacks, &c., by a band [ of U. S. district attorney, Col. Geo. C. of incendiaries (supposed to be negroes), near the Richmond pike, southeast of Lex- ington ; and, in Lexington, the passenger depot of the Ky. Central railroad.

Jan. 22-Kuklux outrages and insults at Athens, Fayette co., and in other neigh- borhoods in central Ky. Their conduct boldly condemned by the press.

Jan. 25-The Cincinnati Southern rail- way bill-authorizing the trustees thereof, Miles Greenwood, Richard M. Bishop, Wm. Hooper, Philip Heidelbach, and E. Alex. Ferguson, [all citizens of Cincinnati,] to construct and maintain a line of railway from Cincinnati, Ohio, across the state of Ky. in the direction of Chattanooga, Ten- nessee-was rejected, yeas 43, nays 44. Jan. 26-By 48 to 43, the house reconsid- ered the vote, and passed the bill, by yeas 46, nays 45. The senate, on Feb. 8, re- jected it, by yeas 12, nays 23. [This bill is for the same purpose as that rejected by the legislature last year. The city of Cin- cinnati has authorized the issue of $10,- 000,000 of bonds to build a grand trunk railroad to Chattanooga, Tenn., near the Alabama state line.]

Jan. 25-Mile. Christine Nillsson, the Swedish prima donna, gives a concert in Louisville.

Jan. 26-Assault on the U. S. mail agent (a negro named Wm. H. Gibson) on board the train of the Lexington and Louisville railroad, at North Benson depot, Shelby co., by a drunken man, who turned out to be a Republican, and was one of a party of 4; he had first been disarmed by his own party." The agent was not injured bodily, but badly frightened. The matter was investigated, by order of Gov. Steven- son, and the result reported, Jan. 31, in a message to the legislature.# The post- master general ordered a guard of 10 white U. S. soldiers to travel back and forth, every day, in the mail car-who appeared at the door with muskets, whenever the train stopped. March 2d, U. S. marshal Eli H. Murray,f then in attendance at a & Republican caucus at Frankfort, tele- graphed "to Gen. Terry, commander, or Col. Absalom H. Markland, [U. S. special mail agent], Louisville," that " trouble is apprehended, it is suggested to double the guard on the mail trains to-morrow ;" but the latter, t March 3d, telegraphed to the postmaster general that "to prevent vio- lence and bloodshed, he had withdrawn the mails from the Louisville and Lexing- ton railroad route." For about one month no mail was allowed to be received or sent by that route, notwithstanding the legis- lature was in session at Frankfort, and much important business was thereby ob- structed. The negro mail agent was ap- pointed upon the recommendation of ex- U. S. attorney general James Speed, and

Wharton.f The general government made it the occasion of sending troops into Ky., and President Grant the occasion, also, of a special message to congress, March 23, "recommending additional legislation, as his power was not sufficient for the present emergencies."

Jan. 27-Speech of J. Proctor Knott, of Ky., in the U. S. house of representatives, on the resolution to extend the time to construct a railroad from St. Croix river to the west end of Lake Superior and to Bay- field-since popularly known as his " Du- luth speech," which immortalizes that town by its keen ridicule, broad humor, and in- imitable bathos. No speech in this day and generation, has been so universally published, read, and enjoyed.

Jan. 27-Harsh and ungenerous denun- ciation, by several newspapers, and by many citizens of Jessamine co., of Thos. T. Cogar, representative from that county, because of his vote against the Cincinnati Southern railroad bill on Jan. 25th and 26th. Jan. 30th, Mr. C. tendered his res- ignation to the house, saying he had been instructed to vote for the bill with 5 Ky. directors, which amendment he voted for, but that failing, he was not willing to vote for the bill so unrestricted. The house sympathized with him in his persecution, and many of the strongest advocates of the bill, admiring his independence and con- sistency, persuaded him to withdraw his resignation. He was the most aged mem- ber of the house, except one.

Feb. 1-The house where Henry Clay was born, on April 12, 1777, destroyed by fire; it was near the old Slash church, in Hanover co., Va., about five miles from Ashland.

Thorp. who was in congress two years earlier, 1815-17, is still living in New York city, aged 86; and Samuel Thatcher, of Bangor, Maine, who was a representative from Massachusetts in 1802-05, survives, aged nearly 95.

Feb. 2-Judge Geo. Robertson, while on the bench of the court of appeals at Frank- fort, stricken with paralysis.

Feb. 2-There were raised in Ky., in 1869, 106,720,948 pounds of tobacco, and in 1870, 98,754,320 pounds. Christian is the largest tobacco producing county, and Montgomery the smallest.

Of corn, in 1869, were raised 38,183,404, and in 1870, 47,122,586 bushels.

The total value of property in Ky., in 1868. as assessed for taxation, was $406,- 275,778, and in 1870, $409,209,061.

Feb. 3-The legislature, by a unanimous vote, assumes the support by the state of Mrs. Olivia Stewart, a confirmed and hope- less lunatic for over 35 years, of which 30 years had been spent in the Eastern Lu-

Ste- venson. The commission found $4,262 due him on Aug. 30, 1844, and $5,557 on March 1. 1847, and allowed him interest; total paid him $21,826. [Slow justice ! and per- severingly sought for over 25 years !]

Feb. 7-The report of the commission- ers for the improvement of the Big Sandy river-Geo. N. Brown, Jas. A. Barrett, Jay H. Northup, Nelson Hamilton, and Wm. J. May-and that of their civil en- gineer, Col. J. R. Straughan-show the mode of expending the state appropria- tion of $75,000, on about 165 miles of that `river, and the Tug fork up to the mouth of Wolf creek (above Warfield,) and the Louisa or West fork above Pikeville. In the falls of Tug, a chute was cut 50 feet wide in a solid rock, with a slope so as to admit the passage of boats; during the lowest water, last season, this chute con- tained 18 inches of water. Six steamboats now run in Big Sandy, the greater portion of the year. The exports have more than doubled in the last 5 years. The lands have greatly enhanced in value. From the mouth at Catlettsburg to Louisa, 2734 miles, the fall is 1.02 feet per mile ; thence, on the West fork to Paint creek, 3934 miles, 1.33 feet per mile ; and from Louisa to Wolf creek, on the Tug fork, 351g miles, 1.64 fect per mile. The estimated cost of 7 Jocks and dams, on the main stream and West fork, is $354,200, and of 5 on the Tug fork $214,900. Exports from the Big Sandy valley, for ycar ending July 1, 1870, $1,219,000. The Peach Orchard coal, the cannel coal, and the block-coal (now best known at Ashland and used in the raw state for smelting iron ore), are among the finest in the world, and could be brought out in immense quantities-if 5 locks and dams were built.

In some of these, the state paid one-half the stock, in others much more than half. The Maysville and Lexington road, 64 miles, cost $426,400, or $6,66213 per mile -which included an unusual number of fine bridges. This is the road which President Jackson immortalized, by his celebrated veto in 1830 of the "Mays- ville road bill," granting congressional aid in its construction ; and is one of the finest on the continent : Paid by
