Twenty-six Coward a. * Buford, who recently assassina­ ted Judge Elliot, iii the streets of iFrankfort. Is one of the most reckless and daring men in Keutucky. He does not care for auybody or anything, nor 4s he afraid of anything. One of his late desperate acts was lo draw a double-barreled shot gun on the Sherifl and a posse who came to levy on some of his property. When the men ar­ rived at the gate, he walked to the door and pointed the gun at the first man. and told them that he would kill the first man that entered the gate. Ha then Invited several of them into dinner, saying that as friends he was glad to see them, but as officers they could not come on his place. When dinner was finished he told them they must leave BOW ; he had extended the hospitalities of his farm, and he was done with them. Not one of those twenty-six men had the pluck to disc­ s'bey or <!Weg:ird what Tom Buford said, thus who wing tfiat he was regard­ ed as a dangprons man by his neigh­ bors. They did not levy on the land or offer to do so after his threat, but retired gracefully aud in order. Reduced Price. Twenty-live cents will now buy a fifty-cent bottle of Piso's Core for Coiraptiofl. Thus the best cough medicine is the chepest. Sold by all Drug­ gists, ' FRED.
