A MEMORABLE EVENT.

On July 2d, at the re idenee of Simon Kenton, one-half mile east of Surry, occurred a pleasant affair long to be remembered by the participants. The occasion was the birth*d*y of said Simon, and a surprise was perpetrated upon him. It also was intendeu as a kind of Family Reunion in honor of Mr. Edmund Kenton, of Arizona, who is now here visiting relatives and friends. In the morning the Kenton bro’s wore deec* ed by designing persons out to the Thompson oil and gas well, and upon returning found the premises in the possession of a most determined mob of abeut 150 persons of all sexes. The two .descendants of the famous Indian fighter, seeing that resistance was ent rely hopeless came forward and with remarkable coolness gave themselves up. At first it was feared by the leaders of the mob that Simon, who was bootless and coatless, wo’d upon first alarm take to his heels, in which event they knew he, being exceptionally fleet of foot, must certainly escape. But happily the smell of cake and roast chieaen so entirely upset his equalibrium that he fell an easy prey. After the capture a council was held to determine in what manner the prisoners should be put to death. It was finally decided that death should be inflicted by the stuffing process. When informed that they mus: die in this way they seemed rather to rejoice, ami each exclaimed in the language of the lamented Hale,. “[ regret that I have but one life to lay down in this manner.” A-ccordingly the process of exe" cution immediately begu an. 4at this writing (h p. m.) the doomed men are still alive and beariug up with remarkable fortitude. At times they are heard to murmur, “There is an aching void this world can never fill.” Should any change occur in their condition your correspondent will notify you at once. The mob as before stated consisted of about 150 persons, 60 of whom were the direct descendants of the Kenton family, the eldst being Mrs. Nancy Smith, of Barkley township, aged 73 years. Tin ie were present six of the eight living children of Mr. and Mrs. .John C. Kenton (deceased) viz: Edmund Kenton, Simon Kenton, Mrs. Addison Parkison, Mrs. Jos. V. Parkison, Willi-m Kenton and Jasper Kenton, together with 24 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren. A sumptuous dinner, with music, game and song and genial conversation whiled away the merry hours.
