Murder in Covington.

The Cincinnati Nonpariel says that on
Monday night an afray took place at the
Jenny Liud Exchangein Covington. between
Thomas Creighton jr., Frederick Lemaire
and Alexander Daniels. the proprietor Of the
Exchange, an elderly man, about some friv-
olous matter. Daniels was knocked by a
colt in tbe hands Of Lemaire and then re-
treated 70 the bar room, where he was at
tackled again by the same person, and while
attempting to gain his feet was shot thro
tho neck by Creighton, and instantly killed.
Creighton was indicted for arson few
mouths since, and failing to appear, his bail
was forfeited. He returned home few day'
since, and again has laid himself amenable
to the law, fot the highest crime stated. The
iCoyington officers are in search Of him. A
young man named Willett is also impIica.
ted in the afffay. Aninquest was held and
a verdict rendered in accordance with the
facts.
Lemaire did not escape, owing to the Sc
we're wounds which he received in the affray
and is lying in very critical condition.

Bloody Doipgs Al cairo.

"Mose," the Cairo Qll.) correspondent Of
the Evansville Journal, furnishes that paper
with the following:
Last night large number Of hands labor
ing on the levee raised row in grocery,
owned by one Mr.. Satchwell. They demol-
ished the bar, poured out the liquors and
forced the proprietor TO leave the house,
Then general melee ensued among them
selves. This morning two men were found
nearly dead on the bar.room floor, one Of
them shot and the other stabbed, both having
weltered in their blood during the night
By this time ooh. NJ they are both dead.
An unsual excitement prevails in the place,
and half the people are armed in anticipa-
ton of further brois. Thus three men have
been killedtin fights during the last thirty
six hours. Pretty well done, you will say
for Cairo. M
