A Man Shot.

Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock, the
steward of the New st. Paul, lying at the
levce along side of the Nominee, had dis
pute with deck hand belonging to the lat
ter, which ended in Il threat OF the deck
hand to smash his mouth" The steward
ran up to the Texas of the New st. Paul,
and came back with revolver. BY this
time the man with whom he had disputed
had gone about his business, and his place
was supplied by another deck hand who
knew nothing of what had happened, he
was sitting on the ground quietly smoking
his pipe The steward asked if he was the
rascal who threatened to whip
him, and getting such reply as a deck
hand would naturally make, blazcd away at
his victim with the pistol he held in his
hand. The ball entered near the mouth,
pas Led oblquely backward, and lodged IN
the neck near the angle of tho jaw. HIS
life is despairel OF by his physician.
The hume of the man shot is William
Monton; he was quiet, peaceah!e fellow,
who has been in the employ OF some OF the
Upper River boats for years, His murderer
is called Harden Mariatta. lie is in Jail

Palmer, advertising agent, Philadelphia
who wishes us to advertise Perham's grand
humbug scheme of 100000 in gifts, an,
he will send us $500 in tickets. Palmer
must be getting rather reduced to assist
such scamp in tleccing the public we
caution our readers against all those gift
schemes: they are got up by sharks whs
will fleece them out Of their last dollar anC
than laugh at their cupidity. Palmer re.
quests lis to return him the circular if no

his account and never have heard wore

GENTLEMEN The defendant Matt. +
Ward, has been arraigned, and has entered
a plea Of not guilty, throwing himself upor
God and bis country for trial. You are te
try him according to your oaths upon tiit
indictment. Ii you find him guilty, you will
say so, and no more. II you find him not
guilty, YOU viii say so, and no more Ir
! case the killing shall be proved to have been
under the influence Of passion, you can find
i the defendant guilty Of manslaughter, and
will say 50, StoaN ii be prored thai the act

What jury surrounded by the weeping
| friends, the aged father and mother, the
wife, brothers and sister Of the accused,
with crowded auditory whose feelings We're
with the prisoner, could resist the tribute OF
sympathy, or fail to have their feelings and
prejndices operated upon by such an address,
and from onetoo whom they were taught TO
regard as the personitication OF law , In
the first place ne informs them that Ward
entered a plea OF g not guilty" Next that
they are to try him according to their
oaths upon the Indictment Then if they
find him guilty they are to say SO and
nothing more. If the killing was done un-
der the influence Of passion, they are to find
him guilty Of mans laughter Lastly, should
lit be proven that the act was done in self
defence they were to find him not guilty.
The verdict rendered according to the above
points was a clear admission that the jury
did not consider the murder as committed
under the influence Of passion, therefore it
was deliberate. The conclusion of the
whole matter is, that among chivarous
kentuckians. blow given is Justification
for deliberate murder While we rejoice
at the bitter anguish spared the family of the
murderer, We cannot but deplore the tenden-
cy of so gross a violation of n-handed
Justice upon our country. With an in
stance yet fresh in the public mind of law
itrumphng over learning, position. family
influence and wealth, we had hoped that
in this case It's majesty and dignity would
have been respected.

A meeting Of the merchants and Others
interested was recently held at Chicago to
protest against the detention of their goods
by the Great Western (Canada) Railroad
Thousands Of tons, it appears, are detained
to the great detriment of those who are
depending upon them for their spring sales
In Justification the company plead igno-
rance of the vast quantities which their adj
vcrtisements would naturally bring to theil
road, and further state that they are get
ting . engines and 230o cars additiona
built.

The Cashmere Goat.

The editor of the Farmer and Planter
says this goat which has recently been in.
troduced into the United States from Tur-
key, by DIR. Davis, Of S. Carolina is of larger
size than our common goat, it as easily kept
and by his experiment is proved to be admi'
rably adapted to our climate. Its great ex
ccllence is, that instead of coat Of hair, j
has fleece Of fine, silky appearance from
four to six inches long in one years growth
birated Cashmere shaWHls from Uh,na arc
made. Besides its beautiful and silky appear
ance. textures made from the fleece of this
goat outwcar all known substances. Stocks
made of it have been worn six winters with
out material injury. They can be shorn an
nually, and the average weight of each fleece
is about four pounds, sometimes weighing as
much as seven pounds, and the price is ST.
so. to 50 per pound, being equal in value to
the united tieeces OF about sixteen Marino
sheep annually. DR. rDavis considers these so
we'll adapted to the climate and SO valuable,
that he reiues to sell full blooded ewes at all,
but sells the bucks from 500 to 5000 each.
He is very liberal and has given several to
friends.
