4 few days since we published an ac-
coun, of 4 murder committed near George
town. Ky., in which man named Thorn
asson sho, his own brother. IL seems
from tho reports .ha. 3! the trial the jury
could not agree, which caused great e1-
citemsn,. We clip the following from
the Louisville Times.
THE trial is over. Great excitement.
The jury could not agree. Were out SIX
hours-eleven for conviction aud one for
-acquittal. Upon the juror leaving the
cour, house, large crowd followed after
him with cries of tar and feather him.
He made his escape through the back door
of Paris ho,ol. L, is though, that there
will he violence cono tonight.

during the trial in the Cours House, from

tirying that she never in her life had seen
her husband carrying weapons. much less

The Cars Reply TO the Austrian Note.

The reply OF the Gar TO the Austrian
note has boen officially notified by Austria
to the representatives of the Western Pow
ers. The substance of the reply is as
follows:
THE ST. Petersburg Cabna, Processes
TO 90 astOnished that Austria sloula have
recommended he acceptance OF such con-
dillons Without deH,andiDg concessions from
the W estern Powers. As Russia consid-
ers the evacuation of the princi palI,ies u
sacrifice, she hopes to find corresponding
inclination to yis!d on the part OF the
Powers.
The St. Petersburg Cabinet finds it
strange that Austria should join in condi-
lions which are foreign 10 its interests, If
not absolutely contrary to the sans. By
increasing The strength Of the Western
Powers at The expense Of Russia. the bal
ance Of power in Europe would be disturb
cd, and Austria and Germany would be too
weak to maintain their position ngains,
the maritime Powers.
'sThs emperor Nicholas will keep his
word. and Withdraw his forces to tho left
bank Of The Pru.h, but when within his
own frontiers lie will defend himself TO the
last against any aud every attack
Although Austria does not consider this
rejection OF the conditions proposed by her
as casus belIi. she still looks on The guar
an tees demanded by the Western Powers
as the only basis for durable peace. nnd
will. therefore, nj the same time that she
maintains her armed neutrality, neglect
no opportunity of urging Russia to accept
them.
The Prussion Representative in the
Germanic Diet, which resumed It's sittings
on the 14:h ult :, was TO inform the Diet
that Prussia, never having bound herself
by the guarantees demanded by the Yves
teen Powers, will in future re main strictly
neutral.
