Feui and Daring Murder.

Our citizens were startled Oh Sunday
morning last by the intelligence that a hor-
rible murder had been committed Oh the
previous night in our streets, and that The
body Of the murdered man hal bcen found
in the river, at the lower end Of town. A
large crowd Of people soon assembled at the
designated spot. where the body Of man
identified as John Burket, was found, bear
ing every indication Of having been brutally
murdered. 4 bout 10 O'Clock 4. y. a C0rO-
ner's Jury was empanneed by Acting Coro-
ner Ferris, ard an inquest held over the
body Of tho deceased, which was removed to
"a vacant building On Front street, aad the
Jury retired 10 ~anborn's Hall to receive
such testimony as might be procured throw
lnli light on the mysterious deed.
The testimony oi n large numbered wit

,imony OF those present al the time OF this
occurrence proves that Henry 'rhir>scn. one

nearly half an hour. IL was also testified
by ncighbors residing few blocks distant,
on SanborD street, that about this time al

Ia the saloon. Other witnesses, among
them hs washerwoman, to whom he carried
the shllt in question on the following morn

In accordance with these and other facts

Our County Fair, it will be borne in mind,
commences next Wednesday at West Point.
and will continue three days. The occasion
is one in which the people Of the county have
an interest, and it would be well II all prop
erly appreciated that interest. The expert
ence OF score or two OF years have demon
strated the growing Importance and increas-
ing benefits Of these Agricultural Festivals
Of the country. And the interest which is
now manifested in Agricultural Fairs, and
the character Of those exhibitions furnish a
fair criterion by which to estimate the intel
ligence Of the people, and the progress and
condition Of Agriculture in community.
Through the efforts of number of our
enterprising farmers, Lee county is begin
ming to assume very fair position in the
Agricultural world, but in order to maintain
that position amongst her sister counties Of
the West, it is necessary that more uni
versal interest should be aroused. At pres
Ont, but small proportion Of the people Of
the county are members Of the Agricultural
Society, or contribute to it's support. This
ought not to be so. No one who remembers
the condition of things in our county at the
time the Society was organized, and looks
upon our present advance, can fail to recog-
nize that very great and beneficial change
has been produced by the efforts of that So
,iety. Then let all unite in rendering well
merited praise to the Society for its past
efforts, and in aiding its future operations
BY personal efforts, influence and means.
And, in order to get fair start, let oil ut
END the Fair next Wednesday, being as
,ured Of hearty welcome, comfortable
quarters, and ample supplies of provisions
turing its continuance.

Ncw York Markets.

We have collected the following from the
N. Y. Independent Of the 10th, which is
about as careful and correct journal with
respect to the state and tendencies Of the N.
Y. market as falls under our eye:
PRopucK.-Prces falling under the COM
bined influence Of a tight money market, nu-
merous failures among produce dealers, re-
stricted demand for expectation, and album
dant supply. The present prices arc likely
to be the best we shall have, and producers
nre advised to sell for first fair offer.
Day Goops. - Business active. Stocks,
Notwithstanding the cry Of over Importation,
bid fair to be short before the close of the
season. French goods selling freely. Mil.
inery and dress goods in fair activity
Woolens in good supply, and market active.
All these articles are well sustained in price.
SO Of cottons. Domestic goods, not much
doing, but prices sustained. Credit not
much disturbed in dry goods circles.
INVESTMENTS. The tendency is to inves. in
bonds and mortgages, even at seven per cent.
interest, on account of the greater safety.
MONEY MARKgr.-Demand pressing, and
rates Of discount heavy. Some days no notes
could be sold a, less than from ls to &c per
cent. The week closed at IL to Is for best
paper. The few call leans making are ut I
per cent. Money is coming in steadily. The
panic has run aground, and is thought to
have been very foolish one. Everything is
more cheerful.
DEATH or Rev. JAMES B. FINLxy.-The
Rev. james B. Finley, universally known
throughout the eGtire West as one Of the dis.
tipguished pioneer preachers Of the Metho.
dist church, died at Eaton, Ohio, last week
of paralysis, a. the advanced age of seventy.
seven years.
In addition to preaching upon various cir
cults 10 the West, Mr.. Finley was at differ
ent periods of his life presiding elder of the
Chilicothe, Lebanon and Dayton districts, a
Missionary to the Wyandotte Indians and
Chaplain of the Ohio Penitentiary. lie was
also writer Of some note, and amongst
other productions of his pen we remember Of
having perused with much interest sPrison
Life,,' which contained an account Of his ex.
perience and observations in connection with
his position in the Peni.entiary.
