A Son shot by his Father The Louis.
vile Dime of the 2sth uit. gives the follow.
ing account Ct a most unnatural and inhu-
man iced. It says.
On Sunday evening last a man by the
name Of Rider, living on the Salt River
road, q miles below this city, attempted to
kill his own son, about 10 years old, by
shooting him. The contents Of the gun
passed through the right arm of the son,
mangltng it so severely as to require its
immediate amputation.-The young man
lies I'M a critical situation. He is much
respected by his acquaintances. for his in
dustrious habits and amiable disposition.
On Sunday evening the son had refused
to give his father some money, which the
latter wished to spend in an improper man.
ner, when he seized a gun, pointed il
through a window at his con, who had Jusi
left the house, and shot him:
The old man is represented as of a most
dangerous character, who would not shrink
from the commission of any deed, however
atrocious. It is d little strange that mt
measures were taken to arrest the monster
and bring him to justice It is supposed
that he is now in this city. Would it moi
be well for our police TO be on the look
out for the perpetrator of lhfs lnhuman
deed?

KENTUcKf mARBtE.-We were 8greeably
surprised, a few days since, during a visit TO
the rooms Of the Kentucky Historical Society,
in looking 1T a pair Of mantels made Of blue
fossilifefous limestone, The quarries Of which
are near this city: We had seen, before this,
some small pieces from the upper strata Of the
depoaite which were very beautiful. but are
not to be compared with that in the mantels.
These marbles are composed Of myriads Of
fossil remains, crystalized in the most perfect
and beautiful manner, variegated with vitre-
Gus veins, and green and yellow earth. The
remains Of thousands Of animals are perfectly
open to the eye of the geologist, jmparting at
once a beauty to the marble and an ~lntetest
we never felt before. The frieze Of the man
tel in the upper room Of the Historical Society
is almost entirely composed Of testaceous ami
male, and it lie one Of the most beautiful frie-
yes we ever saw ii a mantel. We should
like to stand by the side Of John Buckland
and hear him read the antediluVian history Of
these marbles. They would be TO him what
