HORRIBLE MURDER NEAR LEXINGTON, KY.
We were informed yesterday evening, by
passengers on the cars from Lexington, of a
tragedy that occurred in the county of Fay
cite, on Saturday night, which almost trans
cends belief, it is of so horrible nat ure
Mr.. Frazer, farmer of the county,h been
absent with stock at New York for some
months, and on Saturday telegraphed his fam
lily that he would reach home that evening.
His neighbor and partner, Mr. Castleman,
awaited his arrival at the depot,a conveyed
him to his residence. Leaving the house
Mr.. G. was startled about an hour afterwards
by the report of gun. He Immediately
went to Frazer's, and there discovered him
dead, the house darkened, Mrs. F. above
stairs, Grigg, the overseer below, and
daughter aged IL, with her mother. They
account for the death of the man, by the
accidental discharge of shot gun, which
he had in his hand, preparing to shoot rat.
Suspicious were aroused. and the overseer
and Mrs. Frazer were both arrested.
The body Of the deceased was terribly
bruised q hole shot in his head, another
through his body, his throat very nearly cut,
and three ribs broken, effects not reasonably
caused by accident. There appears to be no
doubt in the minds of those advised of the
facts as to the criminali;y of Mrs. Frazer
and Grigg. Previous to this time the neigh
bors had suspected improper intimacies be
tween the two, and it is supposed that il
was for the purpose of getting Frazer out of
the way, so as to render marriage feasible,
that the awful deed was accomplished.
There are various circumstances connected
with the affair which 60 to criminate the

CLEVELAND AND TOLEDO RAnRoAD.-The

going west on the 5th contained IL cars.

ion of the road, we believe, is just about pay.

New PRINTING PREss.-Mr Stephen Brown,
of Syracuse, has invented an ingenious press
for printing four different colorS simultane-
ously. The Syracuse Journal says that the
linking apparatus and the principles of the
machine are so arranged that four different
colorS can be printed a one impression. at
the rate of about five hundred impressions
an hour. And not only can different lines
be printed in various tints, but so perfect is
the invention, that one letter may be print
ed in two, three or four colors; or printed
in one color and shaded by another, all with
the same impression. 1t will be found in
valuable to printers, if it prove what it is
represented.

corpuent German lady, resident in st. Pc

the Salt Lake, not less than sixty missionaries
were commissioned to 60 forth to all parts of
the world and preach Mormonism. These
missions are the active sources which keep up
the perpetual stream of Mormon emigration
to Utah. In this way the additions to the
population of the territory have not been less
than 5000 per annum. They sustain an emf
grafton fund to pay the outfit and passage of
converts from foreign lands, which last year
amounted to $4,000.

without monument. All grave yards in all

and the clown, the prince and the peasant, are
all alike undistingushed The waves roll

minstresy of the ocean is sung to their honor.
Over their remains the same storm beats, and
the same sun shines: and there, unmarked, the
weak and the powerful, the pumed and un.
honored, will sleep on, until awakened by the
same trump when the sea will give up its dead.
