ANOTHER BLOODY TRAGEDY IN CINCINNATI,
Another startling tragedy has been enacted in
our city. Blood has again been shed, the con-
sequence of which will probably prove fatal.
A man named James Mclaughlin, who re-
sides near the corner of Bank and Freeman
streets, early Saturday morning last came
homo drunk and commenced abusing child
and threatening its life, when his wife inter-
fered, and thereby became herself the object
of his demoniac and unnatural fury. Her
screa ms aroused the neighbors, who ran to the
house, and one of them, named Henry Greene,
interfe, ed, and requested tho fiend to desist.
McLaus him drew pistol, and ordered Greene
to leave the house. Groene, however, knocked
it from his hand. Finding himself foiled in
his effort to shoot, he seized cleaver and
struck him over the head several times, ipjur-
ing him so severely that it is very doubtful i
he RECEIVERS.
A brother of Mclaughlin, who was presen
during the affray, was arrested and held to bal
in the sum of one thousand dollars, for his ap
pearauce on Tuesday next. Not finding secu
rites, he was committed to Jail. The princi
pal offender escaped, but tho Police are on th'
alert, and We have no doubt of his speedy
| oo,tura.

HAMILTON COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY,"
The Board of Managers of tho Hamilton County
Agricultural Society publish a circular, in
which they state their reasons for increasing
the price for members tickets. The chief one
of which is, that the Society is now laboring
under debt of some 50, 900, with interest accru-
ing. In view of the fact that most other
societies in our neighboring counties and
States charge from So to SIS for mcmbers'
tickets, they were induced to believe that a
liberal view would be taken of their position,
and that the citizens of our county would come
forward and lend their aid in removing the
Society from debt and assist in bcautifying the
grounds, &c. Inasmuch as general dissatis-
faction is expressed in regard to the increased
price Of members tickets, the Board have re-
considered the vote and reduced family or
members tickets to one dollar. The Ninth
Annual Fair will commence on Tuesday, the
18th inst,

EDITORS PENNY Press Permit me, as Vice
President of the late Board of Underwriters,
and as Chairman of tho meeting alluded tO in
your issue Of the ID, to correct the statement
as to its proceedings. The late Board Of Un-
derwriters was dissolved because its form of
organization was defective. A new organiza-
ton was agreed upon, and committee ap-
pointed to recommend to some subsequent
meeting form of organization more suitable
to the insurance interest of our city. The
form of organization, or who are to compose it,
is q matter yet to be determined. No such
idea as excluding foreign agencies from the
benefits Of membership was thought of.
