BLOODY TRAGEDY IN COLUMBUS ON
THE FoURTH.-We gather the following
from the Columbus (O.) Capital City
Fact: Among the celebrations of the
day was one at Stewart's Grove, south
of this city, by the German Military
Company, the Turner'S and the Glee
Club, at which there were two or three
thousand persons present, principally
Germans.
Between FIVE and six O'Clock in the
evening, the people commenced return
ing to the city from the different points
where the day had been celebrated.-
The German procession left Stewards
Grove and proceeded up High street,
carrying the American flag and the
Turner red flag. having stars on it,
When they arrived in front of the Unit
ed States Hotel. collision occurred be-
tween them and other citizens; stones
were thrown, and some of the Germans
fred at the other party twenty five or
thirty shots. The result was that one
man, Mr.. Henry Foster, was mortally
wounded by being shot through the
lungs; and two others, John White and
John Flowers, very seriously injured
by stone bruises.
Foster was a citizen of Columbus,
single man, and blacksmith.
During the evening, great excitement
prevailed. Several citizens volunteered
to aid the police in making arrests. At
19 o'cloak at night, some 33 persons
had been placed under the care of the
Sheriff to await their examination.
The Fact says: There are various
contradictory reports in circulation as
to the origin of the difficulty. In the
present excited state Of the public mind,
it is quite impossible to arrive at the
truth. We cannot therefore express an
opinion. One thing we regret exceed
ingly-that our German fellow-citizens,
whatever the provocation, should have
resorted to the use Of fire arms. This
course is wholly indefensible. We
trust that our city will not be again
called upon to mourn over such another
bloody tragedy.

somewhat by the cutworm, aow looks

In Bourbon county the harvesting is
progressing. The yield is said to be re-
markably fine, both in quantity and
quality.
In Grant the farmers are about done

In Kenton the farmers have COM

sually large.-Loxisvilis Courier.
HARvEsr.-Most Of the farmers IN the
immediate vicinity Of Richmond have
commenced harvesting their wheat. and
so far as we have had an opportunity Of
Judging they are satisfied with the yield.
True, it may not be so abundant as in
some very favorable seasons, yet the
quality is fine and producers expect to
obtain good prices. Richmond Wing.

one week out ofthc fi(ty-two, and it was not
in our heart to say ney to them. We hope
our patrons will be equally indulgenl and
excuse the omission.
We have also to apologize TO our read

to bear with lib for this time. The present
