A Fauuily of Murderert. ''he Conviction of Grove Kennedy for manAlaughter, and a verdict of 21 years in the Penitentlary, announced from Rock Castle, Ky., mark the end of one of Kentucky's celebrated criminal oases. In February, 1877, Kennedy be caune Involved in a lawsuit withl his uncle, E. 1). Kennedy, which engen dered a bitter feeling. After the ad journinent of the Court at l.aucaster one day, he took his s':ation in the vcsti bulo, and as the old nan caine out lev eled his pistol and shot him three times through the head. On lbi way to the jail he escape.! fron the guard, his wilfe standing between hn and their guns. and calling on tho ollisers to shoot her, but not her husband. lie was finally recaptured and tried In December, 18;7, but there was no Verdtilet. The next June he was tried again, convicieJ, and Sentencd to imprisoninent for lifo. The sentence wias reversed by the Court of Appeals. Tle case was then changed to the Rock Castle Circuit, wheru a. concliusion has just been reached. The Kennedy family is well connected anti laiious for Its lighLing qualities. E. ). Kennedy, murdered by Grove killed two men; Orove killed two, Grove's brother, John 11., killed two; another brother killed one; his brother-in-ilaw killed a negro and was pardoned by Gov. Blackburn ; another brother-in-law attackett Sam ;Coil n, uld In the fight both were killed; Andy Kennedy and a half-brother, lleu'y Yeaky, were both killed in personal enco..nters; an illegitilmate son of E. D. Kennedy also kiiliet his.man. Con vietions followed several of these mur ders but pardons by the Uove+rnors were secured in nearly all cases. It is not thought that Grove Kennedy will serve out his term.

AORICULTUR R. how 'o MAKE DtAIN.--'he distance between drains must be determined by the nature of the soll, their depth and the utnount of fall. A loose, porous soil will permit water to reach the ('raius for a long distattee, while a tough, compact clay Is almost impervi Ous to water atnd It qyuires the drains to be made much ttearet. In aa black, loose soll, (1rains at the depth of (tIr lect are st-filletnt at a distaunc- of tell r: ds apart, unt it' the laud Is hard pan or a still clay, to draln it thoroughly the (I;stane apart should be from tour to six rods. liut few persuns in this part of the cottntry realize the great. advaIItage that deep draius have over shallow onee. In Iy extetsive ac (qtalntance in this and adjoining conn tries among drainers, I know or but few that drain to a depth averaging over one and a half to three feet. Farmers p: y taxes on their land all the way dowI (and on wet lands it often almo+nts to a rent), but they never get any agrieultural benellt Irum it any d-eper than they drain, but they do get the beuellt of It that deep, even if It is elgh t. feet; In fact., an oi chard or vine yard shotlid nta. be drained less tiatn that depth. The time is p,robably not far distant whenl such shillow drains will be taken up and put down again at a proper d- pt I. 'er-ous often say that it (oz-t too mtruch t 1 drain sodeep, when the fIact is the cost is less. For in stance, it would cost but, very little more to dig two dratinis to the depth of 'otur feet t11nl it will to dig thtree to the depth of two and it 11111 feet, andl(] the two deep drains will drain fully as inmuich hn id as the three shallow, aml will draiu it mt:uch better ind save tihe expense (f a third line of tile. But the depth of drains is not always a iatter of choice, a-i very often th outlet Is not Fut fnl.-le'tt, and I have very often notleed that persons are sotnettnes ex tremely contrary aboutt giving their neighbors above them an outlet, and very often Fpen1d m1 ore tihe aud money in lawing abuttt it than would do the whole work, besides creating a bad feeling. In mnaking an improvemnent, of this kind, that is to last for all time to Coie, it is Iteli better to secure at good outlet In the lirst place, If it. does cost :tomttethring more, espeelally if tihel land is ilit a l you have but little fall; but in all cases it, is best. to have a good out 1< i- o that, the water will fatli from sIx to twelve liebsx wheni it leaves the tile.

AMEs o, nK..-' The 'Winter.-'l-he widter, of 1879.80 seems destined to take amemo rable place in the annals mete orology. Although its extraordinary thermometric ranges have yet to be fully nade up, it bids fair to exhibit the most marked record of sunshine and warmth east of the Mississippi and south of the forty-fifth patallel. The historian has been at pains to chronicle remarkably cold winters, as that 01 1812, which as ear'y as November 18 com pelled the famous retreat of Napoleon's army from Moscow and turned the tide of European airairs. But little notice has been.taken of the remarkably warm winters, which probably exert no less decisive an Influence on national health and wealth, and no -sclet.ti1le work could yield a more practical and mag tilctemt service to the world thani an investigation showing the causes of such seasons. In looking for the expla nation of the present mild weather it is important to note that the highest tem peratures In December were reported by the Signal Service from the South Atlantic States. This lact furnishes one clew to the solution of the mystery. Atlantic observations taken a year ago revealed the fict that the temperature of that ocean in high latitudes was tin nsually high, and it would seen from recent examination that its equatorial stirfaco is now exceptionally warm. Thie average te:nperature of the water throughout December last, as reported by the Signal Service from six of its South Atlantic stations, show that the mean temperature of the ocean from Key West to Norfolk was then 7. 0 degrees higher than in the sane peril od of 187. With such or even less in crease of its heat the evaporation from its tepid extratropical bosom must be very great. It Is obvious enough that the stores of heat contained in this ex e!essive evaporation, whent wafted in upon the continent and drawn into the Mississippi Valley, must exerta power ful influence in tempering the winter weather east ol the great river. But tie abnormal heat of the seas washing our southeastern coasts is but o1e factor in the solution of our mild winter prob lom. A i old seaman has said, "'he that watches his barometer watches his ship;'' antI dloubtless to the barometric conditions prevailing over the country we incst look for the fuller explanation of lie phenouienon iu qtestion. Glanc Ing at tihe most recent suminery of the Goverment weather reports, it Is at once seen that over the base of the Rocky mountains a '"low-pressure' cowlitlion has prevailed, inducing i general movement of the atmosphere from the '"iigh-pressure" zones ex tending along the Gulf and Soith At lantic coasts. This "low barometer' range was the marked feature of the autumnal weather, and there. has been no r'ish of heavy aerial currents from the far north o: northwest, still leas from the Paefiflc coast,sufiicient to fill up or efface tihe vast interior depres sion, whiich, with few lnt'rmissions, has prevailed since October set in. The notlhtwestward flow of the warm, humid air currents from the overht ated oceun to the south-east of the United States, set ip anti n:untaned by the indraught of the low pressire in the interior, is apparently the true solution of the re markable winter of 1879-80.
