Co. The negro man was runaway and the dogs
were in pursuit of him aud Mr.. Becknel had
Joined in the chase and on his coming up with the
negro, he attempted to stop him, they clinehed,
both had knives, but Mr.. Becknel drew his knife
with seabbard on it, and the villanous negro
plunged his knife into the side Of Mr.. Becknel,
causing death in short time After the rencon-
tire, MI. Ayceck came up and made an attack on
the negro with his loaded whip, bnt the whip soon
gave way, and Mr. A. saw demonstrations in the
negros countenanee to attack him, SO he told him

been troublesome on the place, and il not killed in

Of a strong halter. Mr.. Becknel was apoor man

THE HOMICIDE OF T. HINE SLAUGHTER. We
have already announced the sad fate of +. Hine
Slaughter, who was shot at Bardstown, on Saur-
day last, by Daniel Talbot Jr., the son Of the Mr..
Talbot who killed by Slaughter about one
year ago. We have seen letter from respon-
sible source at Rardstown, which details the cir
eumstances connected with the dreadful occur
ence. Slaughter was walking up street before
the affair occurred, and stepped into AIr. Smiths
store to avoid a meeting with Pen Talbot, who is a
brother of the young man who did the shooting.
When Slaughter entered the store he CON
fronted by Daniel Talbot, Jr Not word passed
between them. Young Talbot drew pistol and
fired upon Slaughter, the bah taking effect in
slaughter's left eye and killing him instantly. The
young man carefully put up his weapon, stood
over and looked upon the dying form Of his vie
tim, and, passing out Of the store, walked home
with as little concern il nothing Of a serious
nature had occurred. Talbot was arrested subse
quenhy, and is in Jail awaiting an examination.

parties that the game is blocked it will not reach
a head; that our banks are not going to be called
on for coin. So unless they have good, secure and
strongly built vaults, they may as well put their
gold in bank, and it Is hoped that none Of our
banks will receive special deposits Of gold. If
tney should, they will have the Iynx.eYed Board Of
Currency after them to know what is what, and
which is which.

Interesting to Druggists.

The. following section Of the new Penal
Code, passed by the Legislature last win
ter, is of great importance to those who
deal in drugs of any kind which are used
as poison-:-
mo spothecary, druggist or any other
person shall sell or dispose of by retail,
any morphia, strychDine, arsenic, prussic
acid or corrosive sublimate, except upon
the prescription Of a physician, or on the
personal application of some respectable
inhabtapt, of full age, of the town or
place in which such sale shall be made.
10 all cases Of such sale the word poison
shall be carefully and legibly marked or
placed upon the label, package, bottle or
other vessel or thing 10 which such poison
is contained; aud when sold or disposed
of otherwise than under the prescription
OF physician, the apothecary, druggist
or other person selling or disposiDg Of
the same, shall note in register, kept
for that purpose, the name and residence
of the person to whom such sale was
made, quantity sold and the date of such
sale.
"Auy person ofeniins herein shall be
guilty of misdemeauor, and, on convic-
toO, be sentenced to pay fine not ex-
ocedi0g ffty dollars"

The Half Vote.

In answer to many inquiries as to how
the half vote is given. which frequently J
occurs in the proceedings of the Political
NatioDal Convention, the following ex-
panation will prove satisfactory: The
whole number of votes is equal to the
number in the Electoral College-tbat
is, equal to the united Sentorial and Rep
resentatiye men ber-hip of Congress-
the Convention is made up With two del
egates from each Congressional District
and six delegates from the State at large,
In casting vote of Congressional dis'
triot, if the delegates from such district
agree, each is entitled to half vote
which is equivalent to whole one, and
so of the delegation from the State at
large, which represents two votes. For
example. il the tSo delog ates representing
this district in the Convention, disagree
on propo 'ition, one being for aud the
other against it, each will cast his vote
which counts half: II the four dele
gates at large from this State are equally
divided, each two have one separate and
full vote, but if three are one way and
one another, the vote will be cast one
and half, and half.
