ExCITEMENT.-For some days man by the name of Thomasson has been on trial in Georgetown Ky, for the murder of his brother. Thomasson, it is alleged, shot and killed him deliberately, but excuses himself for so doing by asserting that he intended to shoot over his head to scare him. A dispatch from George town says the jury, afteran absence of six hours, being unable to agree, were discharged, eleven being for conviction and one for acquittal. The dispatch adds:
 "Upon the jury leaving the courthouse, a large crowd followed after him with cries of tar and feather him!' He made his escape through the back door of ?ratt's Hotel. It is thought that there will be violence done to- night.

Murder CT! look on this child.' Truly this seemed enough to move the stones of our streets to mu- tiny and rage"
