A HANGING CASE IN KENTUcKY.-In De-
cember last, Charles Cushing was murdered
in Lexington, by William Wright; the offence
that provoked the fatal shot being slight
insult to the assailant's wife. On the 18th
inst, the prisoner, who had lain in prison
from that time, was brought out for trial, and
was convicted of murder in the first degree
Gushing kept a confectionery, which the wife
of the prisoner entered in the dusk of the
evening, in presence of several witnesses, for
n purchase. Cushing mistook her for another
person, placed his hand on her shoulder, say
ing, allow are you, pretty" In an instant
he discovered his mistake and appologized,
but the lady left in rage, and soon after her
husband and she returned to the shop,- when
the unfortunate young man was shot down
in his tracks!
When the jury had returned, after only
twenty minutes absence, and had announced
their fatal decree, a most distressing scene
was witnessed by the crowd. The prisoner
entirely overcome, let his head fall upon his
breast while his wife, his sister and his
mother, gave vent to their anguish in heart
rending screams. His wife threw herself upon
his neck, and exclaimed passionately, "Oh,
why did do this why did do this!' and,
"Oh, how could those men find him guilty,
when they have families! Oh, will die"
The screams gradually subsidized into sobs of
grief and anguish, while the moumGul, har-
rowing scene afflicted judge, jury, bar, and
spectators.

A FACT WORTH KNOWING

1t should be borne in mind that we have
pursued a course entirely different from the
usual mode in bringing our medicines to the
notice of physicians. The recipes of Sta6ler's
Anodync Cherry Eapeetordnt and Diarrhga
Cordial have been made known confdcntiallH
to upwards of five hundred medical men,
every one of whom recommend them as high
ly efficient remedies. The Expectorant has
been pronounced by them to be an excellent
remedy in all cases of Coughs, Colds, Group,
Bronchitis, Asthma and diseases of the Lungs
and Throat generally. The Diarrhea Cordial
has also received their unqualified praise as a
remedy for diseases of the bowels Both in
children and adults; and the many cures that
these good medicines" have effected, prove
the physicians opinion well founded They
should be kept in every family, ready for in
slant use when occasion may require See
advertisement in another column, and descrip-
tive pamphlets, to be had gratis of the agents.
Price of each, only 90 cents, or six bottles for
$3.50. [july 7.
