0verseer Killed BY a Negro,


A sad tragedy lately occurred on the
farm of Mr.. John wager, few miles
from Dover, in Lafayette County, Ky, a
young man named Winslow, recently
from Virginia, having been killed by one
of Yager's negroes. The Lexington Ex-
press gives the following account of the
affair -
"The facts detailed to us are substan-
tally as follows: The negro having fail
ed to build fire as required, Winslow
called to him. The other servants told
the boy that Winslow was calling him.
when he replied, Let him call and he

time so informed Mr.. Miller. When

call, neither Winslow nor the negro wa.

found Winslow lying on his face, with 9
dreadful cut on the side of his head. ran.
gIng just above the ear. Before the
young man could be carried into tbe
house he was dead. The young man was
a son of Mr.. Henry Winslow of Saline
County, Missouri. The negro has not
yet been caught. He is heavy-set man
about 26 years o :, and weighs about 17C
pounds. His skin is smooth, and ha.
but little beard. 1t is supposed he ha.
gone either in the direction of Warrens
burg or Harrisonville, and viii probabl,

The negro has just been arrested. anl

Death of a Miser. an Heir Wanted.

The well-known miser, John Henry
man, citizen of this place, died very
suddenly on Friday night of last week.
The deceased was a German, who by
some means had amasSed a handsome
fortune, which we have heard variously
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000,
but unfortunately for the public as well
as himself, he belonged TO the lowest
grade of misers. Of his history, place
of nativity, or friends, nothing is known,
and any allusion to these matters, even by
his most intimate friends; always exas-
perated him. He leaves, so far as at
present is known, no one to inherit his
estate, which will, in all probability es-
cheat to the State. No will has yet been
discovered, and it is not likely he left any.
The manner of life and parsimonious
habits of the deceased are almost incred-
ible. For the last sixteen years he has
constantly worn the same blue, linsey-
woolsey wamus and pantaloons, carefully
run or darned all over with strong thread
so as to prevent the possibility of wear
ing out, except on some important occa-
sions, such as land sales or something OF
that nature, when they gave place to a
suit of black velvet that he often boosted

nor did he like to take him into the cars, to the
