TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN KENTUCKY.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN KENTUCKY.
The Cincinnati Commercial Of Monday
says;
As the Lexington and Covington train were
passing q couple Of miles this side Of Win.
chester. Kentucky, on Saturday, the body Of
q man was discovered lying near the road,
and still little farther on another body ".
ing in q similar condition was seen. The
parties were Col. James Price, Of Clark coun.
ty, Kentucky, an old and esteemed citizen,
and his son, fine and promising young man.
Both were found weltering in their blood,
the father having received the contents of a
double barreled gun, loaded with buck shot.
in the abdomen and lower part Of his body,
while the son had been shot through the bod v
by q bulle: from a revolver. Both were
breathing when found, and it is yet hoped
that the old gentleman may survive, although
no hope is entertained Of the recovery of the
son. The particulars Of this sangunary af-
fair. as we have been able to learn them, are
as follows:
The lady Of Colonel Price, under the name
Of "Molly Broom" is a contributor Of the
Ohio Farmer. and in a recent communication
to tina: journal she gave a description of a
family residing in her neighberhood, from the
Encouragement Of whose head much domes.
tbs affection and disastrous consequences had
arisen. Unfortunately a neighbor named
Gray took the matter as intended for himself,
and fe y days since, meeting Col. Price he
demanded If be considered himself response.
BILE for what his wife wrote. The Colonel,
who was unconscious Of what he alluded to,
replied in rather jocular manner that he
was not, and the parties separated upon ap.
parently friendly terms On Saturday morn.
ing Col. Price was riding on horseback at the
spot above designated, HE son, similarly
mounted, being some distance behind, when
he was intercepted by Gray, who carried a
double .barreed gun which he discharged full
at the Colonel, who fell from his horse, to all
appearance dead The son at this moment
Mastering to the spot, Gray drew revolver
and again fired, with such fatal effect that
the con also fell After thus disposing of his
victims, who were to all appearance dead,
Gray made off, and at the present writing we
are not advised whether he has been arrest
ed. The foregoing was CLEANED from the
Colonel himself, who rallied sufficiently to
relate the particulars of the murderous at.
tack, as well as it's probable cause.

THE PENITENT'S PRAYER.

BY J. GIERLow.
No more, o God my souls offences see;
Now turn from these, but turn thee not from me,
Yet farther pureness to thy servant grant;
Another heart, or change in this, I want.
Create another, or the change create,
For now my vile corruption is so great,
1t seems new creation to restore
Its fallen state to what 1t was before.
Renew my spirit, raging In my breast;
And all its passions in their course arrest;
Or turn their motions, widely gone astray,
And fix their footsteps in thy righteous way.
When this is granted, when again I'm whole,
o! meier withdraw thy presence from my SOUL
There let 1t shine, so let me be restored
To present joy which conscious hopes afford.
There let 1t sweetly shine, and DER my breast
DitIuse the dawning of eternal rest;
Then shall the wicked this compassion see,
And learn thy worship and thy works from me.
