Editor Outlook: I have been intending to write to you for over eight months but was delayed on account of my eyes. In April I was painting an iron water tank with red lead paint. The rust and paint got in my eyes and for two months I was almost blind, I could not read until a month ago. I am still under the doctor's care, but my eyes are improving fine, so I thougth I would send you the New Year's issue of the Oregonian, also a slop I cut out about a large tree in this letter. So you can see and read that Oregon has, which will explain it better than I can write it. I also wnat to say that I am going to write you something about a goose berry bush that I measured myself that was 30 feet high. Now, this is not fish story. I am also sending you one of brother Walter's pictures of the big spruce log that is 11 feet at the futt end, and after cutting off 216 feet the last log at the top was 8 feet. Not a limb on it up to that height. You will also find enclosed $3.00 for the Outlook. I read about the illness of Joseph Woodhead. Glad he is improving. Please let Joshua Woodhead have the papters to look ove when you get through with them. I woudl like very much to meet my old friends once more, but I will have to be satisfied with reading the Outlook. Give my best regards to one and all inquiring friends. Remember me to your wife and family. Some time later I will buy and get some pictures of our neighborhood. Brother Walter is not feeling too well but is better than he was a year ago. He also sends his best regards. Please let me know if you get the papter all O.K. Respectively yours. Robert Falconer P.S. Tell Jake Riggle I would like to visit Blind Buck once more.

1852: Jan. 9: Act to provide for the registration of births, deaths, and marriages in Ky. -- Louis KOSSUTH, the Hungarian chief, calls, with Gen. Lewis CASS, upon Henry CLAY, while the latter lay sick in his room at Washington city. Mr. CLAY listened patiently to his comments on the condition of Hungary and the situation of France, which KOSSUTH believed would provoke civil war and perhaps a general revolution; and to avoid which, or control it for the greatest good, he hoped for the intervention of the United States in the affairs of Europe. Mr. Clay replied that no greater calamity could befall this government that this doctrine of intervention. The vital principle of this country, he said, rested upon its republican character, as seen in the capacity of the people for self-government, and in its practice of confining its actions to its own duties. Our example was on of Christian progress; and the United States, as the only living Republic and example of man's capability for self-government, was bound to encourage progress and prosperity on this continent. All this would be endangered and destroyed by foreign wars, and with them all hopes of free institutions. Warming with the importance of his subject, as he proceeded, he stood erect and with much emotion and touching emphasis, said, "A dying man, I oppose your doctrine of intervention." Grasping his hand, as he bade him farewell, he said, "God bless you and your family! God bless your country! May she yet be free!" Jan. 19 : Heavy snow, blocking u trains on the railroad from Louisville to Lexington. During the night (Monday), Ohio river closes with ice for the second time -- the only winter, within the memory of old inhabitants, when this has occurred.

At New York, the East River to Brooklyn frozen hard, and hundreds crossed over, but at 10 A.M., the 20th, the tide rose, breaking up the ice, and 200 to 300 persons were carried away on floating cakes; after an hour or most painful excitement and alarm, all were rescued. At New Orleans, weather the coldest ever known. At Nashville, several degrees below zero. At Pittsburgh, on 18th, snow 16 inches deep.

May 10: Steamship Eclipse reaches Louisville from New Orleans, in 4 days 18 hours running time -- the quickest trip ever made, having lost 10 hours in repairing her machinery.

Telegraph dispatches from the eastern cities state that, from every steeple, the bells are proclaiming the sad intelligence that the spirit of Mr. Clay is gone; the flags of every nation covered with crape, and business is partially suspended; both houses of congress adjourn without reading the journal. July 5: David MERIWETHER (democrat) appointed by Gov. POWELL to occupy the place in the U.S. senate made vacant by the death of Henry CLAY.

The mill was owned by George Parsons, of Falmouth, who owned half the stock, and George Booher and Harry Crestfield, who owned one-fourth each. The loss is estimated at about $16,000 which included about 14,000 pounds of flour; 2,000 bushels of wheat and two car loads of coal. We understand that the company had recenlty applied for about $12,000 in insurnance but the policies had not been received. It is believed, however, that the insurance was in effect from the time of the application, which is the usual rule. - Cynthiana Log Cabin.

NESBITT, Aug. 6: Terrible riot in Louisville, on election day; then designated, and still most painfully remembered, as "Bloody Monday." Fighting and disturbances between individuals or squads, in various deplorable scenes of violence, bloodshed, and houseburning, principally in the first and eighth wards. Between 7 and 1 o'clock at night, 12 houses were set fire to and burned, on the north side of Main, east of Eleventh, two adjoining on Eleventh, and two on south side Main opposite. Patrick QUINN, the owner of most of them, was shot, and his body partially consumed by the flames. Numerous shots were fired by foreigners from windows in some of those buildings, which killed or wounded Americans in the streets; this fact, with the exaggerated report that arms and powder were concealed there, excited to phrenzy (sic) a mob of Americans (another name for the Know Nothing party members) already crazed with similar excitement, shooting and bloodshed on both sides, at other points; several persons who were concealed in buildings, or fled to them for refuge from the mob, were burned to death; several were shot as they attempted to escape from the flames; AMBRUSTER'S large brick brewery and his dwelling, at the head of Jefferson, were burned; also, two Irish cooper-shops on Main above Woodland garden; frame grocery, corner Madison and Shelby; many houses were riddled or gutted. The mob which ranged through the streets and set fire to the houses was composed of Americans, part of them with a cannon at their head; the foreigners fought from their houses, and lost life and property together. About 22 were killed or died of wounds, about three-fourths of them foreigners, one fourth Americans; many more were wounded that recovered. Mayor BARBEE, Marshal KIDD, and a portion of the police, and the personal efforts of Hon. Wm. P. THOMASSON, Capt. L. H. ROUSSEAU, Geo. D. PRENTICE, Col. Wm. PRESTON (the anti-Know Nothing candidate for congress), Joseph BURTON, and others, at different times and places, stopped the effusion of blood, and saved the new Shelby street Catholic church and other valuable property from the rapacity and violence of the mob. Bad blood on both sides, aggravated and intensified for several days previous by distorted representations of preparations for serious work, culminated in a most terrible and disgraceful riot. For several days after fears of a renewal of the desperate conflict and work of destruction hung like a funeral pall over the city. A card from Rt. Rev. Bishop Martin J. SPALDING, and the steady efforts of many good citizens, gradually restored a feeling of quiet and security. Aug. 18: Death of ex-Gov. Thos. METCALFE, in Nicholas co., by cholera.

A note from Mr. Cutting called upon Mr. Breckinridge to "retract the assertion (B. had charged C. with saying what was false,) or to make the explanation due from one gentleman to another." This was understood to be a challenge., and Breckinridge named rifles, 60 paces. Col. MONROE, the friend of Cutting, claimed that Cutting was the challenged party, and insisted upon pistols, 10 paces. This involved a dispute as to which was the challenged party, and led to a declaration by Cutting that his first note (several had passed) was NOT a challenge. Linn BOYD, Thos. H.

April 29: Over 8,000 people, in a public meeting at Louisville, in resolutions read by Bland BALLARD, chairman of the committee on resolutions (John H. HARNEY, Dr. Theodore S. BELL, Wm. D.

H. G. BUTLER, as in opposition to all the evidence in the case, contrary to our ideas of public justice, and subversive of the fundamental principles of personal security, guaranteed by the constitution of the state." In the street, a mob burned he effigies of John J. Crittenden and Nat. Wolfe, of Geo. D. PRENTICE, editor of the Journal, (who had testified in court as to the character and manners of Ward,) of Matt. F. WARD himself, and of the Hardin county jury which had acquitted him. It then surged to the elegant mansion of Robert J. WARD (father of Matt. F. Ward), which was stones, the windows destroyed, the beautiful glass conservatory, full of the rarest plants and flowers, demolished, and the house set on fire in front; the firemen soon arrested the flames, despite the resistance of part of the mob. It then surged to the Journal office and to the residence of Nat. Wolfe; but the determined efforts of a few leading citizens succeeded in checking its fury before much damage was done. The mayor had announced to the crowd in the court house that the persons against whom popular feeling was directed, had left the city with their families, and their houses and property were under the protection of the city authorities. Nobie BUTLER, brother of the deceased, had issued a card to the people of Louisville, appealing to them in strong terms to stay the thought and hand of violence, and to act calmly and prudently. April 28: Great fire at Frankfort, consuming every house on Main Street, from the Capital Hotel to the Mansion House, 17 of brick, and several of frame; loss between $100,000 and $200,000.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 28 Apr 1922 Vol. 15 No. 47 Pg. 1 Col. 1 OLD ACADEMY PROPERTY SOLD UNDER HAMMER (Long article about the old academy building and its history.) The Board of Education of the Falmouth School District sold last Saturday at public auction, the old academy school lot and building. the sale was conducted by A. E. Foster & Sons of Covington, in a highly satisfactory manner to the school board. The plot of ground was divided into ten lots, six of which were 48x100 feet, and four 48x150 feet. The ten lots averaged $1,291 each, or a total of $12,910. An immense crowd attended the sale, the most of whom were attracted by the $50 prize which was given away. Mr. Foster acted as auctioneer, and proved to be one of he best ever heard in this city. The bidding was spirited from the beginning, and not a lot in the plot went begging for bidders, as each of the lots is a desirable building site. The lots went to the following: Cecil Lea, 1 corner lot Methodist Church, 2 front lots J. M. Mason, 1 front lot Sol Goldberg, 2 front lots J. B. Woolery, 1 east lot Clarence Wilson, 1 east lot J. E. Fossett, 1 west lot F. M. Shoemaker, 1 west lot D. W. Beckett bid in the brick school building which stands on the ground at $610. He will raze the building and use the material for the erection of a new house. The $50 in gold was given away in $5 prizes, after the sale of each lot. The prize winners were: J. W. Ballinger, Carl Stump, Dugan Piercefield, William Wellman, Dudley Peddicord, A. T. Schafer, Mrs. J. Galloway, Bernard Fields. The stewards of the Falmouth Methodist Church bought lots No. 2 and 3 for the church. It is proposed by the congregation to erect a new edifice on this site, facing on Fourth Street. Back in the very early part of the 19th century the State Legislature passed a law giving to the organized counties at that time public land to be used for the establishment of schools. Pendleton County was given 1300 acres of land, but the record we have does not state where that land was located, but it does state that the land was sold for $310.50, and two lots in the town of Falmouth was purchased with the money and a one-story brick schoolhouse with four windows on each side was erected. The two lots were purchased of Reuben Turner. On Saturday, April 2, 1814, a contract to erect the building was let to Jacob Turner. The Trustees at that time were Alexander Monroe, Sr., Samuel Lockwood, Stephen Thrasher, James King, Press G. Kennett, Henry Childers, James Nailor and John Skirvin. James Wilson was requested to superintend the erection of the building. The Board of Trustees resurrected Prof. Andrew Foster, and his salary was fixed at $280 per annum, and he tool the subscription to the school as a guarantee. The Board of Trustees fixed the price of tuition as follows: For orthography, writing and arithmetic, $8 per annum; grammar, $16.00; geography with the use of globes and maps $16.00; mathematics, $20 per annum. In 1847 the Board of Trustees at that time purchased five more lots for a total of $62, which addition to the grounds made it the present size. The school was maintained by private subscription. This building still stands on the academy school grounds and is the old part in the rear. The house was added to from time to time to accommodate the increase in children. ST. ANDREW'S LODGE NO. 18 CHARTERED IN FALMOUTH We find a little interesting local Masonic history in looking over an old record book of the Pendleton Academy, a private school established in Falmouth in 1813. The record shows that four men, Alexander Monroe, Samuel Lockwood, Stephen Thrasher and Jas. King, appointed themselves a committee to establish a school in Falmouth. The first meeting was held on July 12, 1813, and plans were formed to build a brick schoolhouse the following year. On April 14, 1814, when the contract was let to erect the one-story brick schoolhouse, the trustees, being Masons, submitted the following proposition to the Masonic Lodge of Falmouth: "On motion of James King in behalf of sundry members of St. Andrew's Lodge No. 18, F.&A. M. it is ordered that they be permitted to build and have access to a room in the second story of the Seminary by incurring the additional expense of raising the house two stories high, and pay all additional expense, and have access to the same without let or hindrance, except in school hours, provided that no detriment shall be done or suffered thereby. Provide the school shall have the use of the second story except in lodge hours." There is no record that St. Andrew's lodge accepted this offer. We would like to know how Cynthiana became the possessor of this Masonic charter. Falmouth Outlook Friday 28 Apr 1922 Vol. 15 No. 47 Pg. 1 Col. 3 DEATHS MRS.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 28 Apr 1922 Vol. 15 No. 47 Pg. 7 Col. 2 The Snake that Never Existed In the beginning this story we wish to frankly state that the subject never existed as herein described but the other characters referred to did and were personally known to the writer. There are also many other persons living today near the scenes of their activities who can bear witness to the facts herein mentioned. All the parties that directly figured in this story have long ago passed to their reward and for the sake of invigorating interest we will name them but with the greatest respect and admiration. The scenes of the story are located in and around Foster, in Bracken County and it happened between 1885 and 1887 before the C. & O. Railroad was constructed. The writer doubts if any person over 50 years of age residing within 15 miles of the little village but can recall the incidents that make the worth reading, if for no other reason than to refreshing the memories of the events that were so interesting at the time and of bygone days. Thomas Connelly, a highly respected citizen and a well-to-do farmer, residing at the outskirts of this little village, owned a large orchard that was on an elevated part of the farm overlooking the Ohio River and valley. It was a very productive tract of land notwithstanding its ruggedness. In this orchard grew many blackberries and many varieties of choice fruit. During the berry and fruit season many people visited the orchard, some coming quite a distance to pick berries and they would take much of his choice fruit on their departure. Mrs. Connelly being of a very generous turn of mind did not object, but they indulged in one bad habit. They left his gates oven, broke down his fences and he was therefore annoyed very much by his cattle getting out in his neighbors crops. Posters and other methods of warning were repeated, but to no avail. No relief was in sight. There was but one remedy left, and he did not feel disposed to prosecute any one for that. Now what we are going to tell here we are not sure was the product or the ingenuity of Mr. Connelly's mind, but regardless of its origin it actually came to pass. The report was current that Lizzzie Preston, a neighbor lady, while picking berries on a recent occasion near this orchard was the melancholy spectator of a huge black snake that stuck its head up over the bushes in front of her and lapped its tongue in her face and in her description of it she stated its head was as large as a quart cup. However, it was later learned that this story purported from one whose veracity was not generally known to be much above par and the story soon lost its influence. A few days after this report, County Sheriff Truax, coming down the pike leading into Foster and which led near the orchard, reported that he became very much frightened at the sight of a monstrous snake crossing the road in front of him; that both ends of it were hidden in the weeds on opposite sides of the road; that his horse became frightened beyond control at its appearance. This report carried some weight with it and had its influence upon the public from such a reliable source as the Sheriff. It was soon lost thought of when a Mr. Craig, taking the report a joke, followed up the story with one more ridiculous. His story was to the effect that one morning very early while he was attending the steamboat coal fleet that was located a short distance down the village wharf , he was frightened beyond consciousness at appearance of the same reptile, which came down the hillside from the orchard to get a drink out of the river; that is laid itself out across two coal barges and took a drink, turned and went back up the hill to its home; that as its tail was tuned it knocked off in the river eight tons of coal. The story was so ridiculous that much comment was indulged in by citizens. Some doubted, others believed. But the doubting Thomases had their minds changed a few days later when some citizens visiting the Zoo at Cincinnati found a large skin that some monstrous reptile there had shed and in some way some one had secretly secured it and brought it to Foster. They took it to the orchard and there between two small bushes neatly placed it near a path frequently traveled. It is easy for the reader to imagine what happened on the path of the person who found it for with a throbbing heart and his blood running cold he brought it to the little village. Its appearance brought to mind all the past stories that people had doubted, for here was the impeachable evidence that a monstrous reptile must surely exist somewhere in a cave in that orchard. The question of where all the sheep, young calves, pigs, etc. had gone was no longer a mystery to the public. The shredded skin was stretched on a long bench on the village hotel porch, where it was not only the attraction but the topic of conversation for many months. The citizens experienced no trouble in getting their children in of night off the streets and the citizens who did not have snakes in their boots saw them in their dreams for many months that followed. A reward was offered for the capture of the monstrous reptile. A man by the name of Glespie residing in on the hills of Kinkaid almost eight miles south of Foster heard of the reward. He became much interested and he and his two oldest sons spent several days on this farm with a large rope seeking this snake, carrying a rope with a lasso noose to throw around its neck should they see it. After several days' search in vain they abandoned the hunt and returned to his farm. Someone probably told him it was a joke. For a long time, though, Mr. Connelly's fences and gates were intact and the blackberry and apple crops came and went unmolested, but this huge reptile never existed as was thought. A large snake was seen by Lizzie Preston, and as no others saw it, it never grew any less in proportion, but it increased until it became too large to exist in Kentucky. This is a story of a reptile, the largest that ever existed in Bracken County, if not in the state. Dempsy +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Items of interest to: Doug Harper Biloxi, MS

Hart, of near town. This letter was written by John Fewels on July 23, 1829, who resided at Catawba, this county. He wrote this letter the sam day he committed suicide by hanging himself in his barn. The letter reads: TO THE WORLD AT LARGE Dear fellow mortals that I leave behind - This is my last will and Levi Wellman should take care of the widow Fewels, small garden and receive a part of it for his trouble, and also cut timothy hay. And that some good friend should go with her to John Whitehead's into Harrison County and receive 34 dollars and pay her debts in Falmouth as far as it will go. Then I wish her to make a sale and sell the property such as she can't keep, and pay all she owes, and that Joseph Hitch and Philip Bush, of Falmouth, should consult the best pan for her to follow for her support. I can't stand it any longer, and I freely forgive Michael Wellman and his wife, and Levi Wellman and all my foes throughout the world. I hereby forgive. I leave my loving wife and my poor orphan children in the hands o God, and hope He will be merciful to them and my good neighbors. My troubles are great and more than I can bear, and my weakness so great that I can not support my family, and I can't stay with them and see them suffer. I wish Martin P. Marshall to be merciful to the poor widow and orphans. So I am at peace with the world, and I yield myself to God and the Lord have mercy upon me. (Signed) JOHN FEWELS N. B. I hope that Thomas Ratcliff in the State of Maryland will be merciful to his poor sister. This is done this 23rd day of July, 1829. N. B.
