Murder of DR.. w. J. Keitt.

On Sunday morning last, our communi-
ty was thrown into state of great excite
ment by the announcement Of the death
of Dr. w. J. keitt, our Senator in the
State Legislature. He had been living by
himself, Oh his plantation, about three
miles from Ocala, and has beer n III health
for some time past. Early in the morning,
one Of his servants, who had waited on
him during his illness, came into town and
stated that, as he went into his masters
room to build fire, he found him lying on
the floor dead At first it was supposed
that he had died suddenly from an affection
of the heart; but, on visiting his house,
his body was found bathed in blood, and
his throat cut from ear to ear An inquest
was soon held, and it was found that he
had been most brutally murdered by one
or more Of his own negroes. The most
positive evidence was obtained against one
Of the negroes, and disposition was man
ifested to hang him at once but, with the
view of obtaining proof against others who
are supposed to be implicated, he was
brought to jail, with three others on whom
suspicion rests The matter is undergoing
further investigation as we go to press, and
we are therefore unable to give the result
DR.. Keitt was native of South Carroll
ma, and a brother of the Hon. L. NJ Keitt,
representative of that State. The deeeas-
ed moved to this State about six years ago,

face showing the marks Of unusual inteli-

little Pinky went away
And who is little Pinky?' asked the

patton Of . story
well, you sect be something of a
tcll-and if ye'd move farther on to the
shade Of the old oak yonder, it'll mahap
be pleasanter for the young miss, for the
sun be hot
The lady and gentleman followed the
brown and weather-beate man to the cool
shadow of the oak, and finding a seat for
the young lady on convenient root that
came squarely up from the ground, the min
er began With his customary preface:
You see, Pinky was the son Of Jesse
Pinkam, young man, and regular good
one, as the saying gees. | recon Pinkam
was the only man Of US as ever said the
Lords Prayer, or any other prayer. He
were nice young fc!loB, that's a fact

anything that was what we call 'pious.
Sundays, sir, used to be the regular-well

well, sir, you see, Jesse he got married
to regular lady like-girl, sir, and it turn

'em-that is, Pinkam, his wife, and OLD
mother-jine us in our merry making on {
Sabbath, but sometimes the young man and
Bessy-that's his wife sir-would walk five
miles to hear parson preach. We was al
down upon Jesse, sir-you see the rea
thing was, he made US ashamed of ourselves
| by his goodness, and | was worse than the
rest, trying my best all the time to pick uE
a quarrel with him. Well, sir, one Satur
day night what did we see but notice
stuck up on this very tree, that there'd be
be parson from Frankstown on the NOR
row, to preach to us We didn't like the
news, and we could tell pretty we'll where
the move came from, cause you see we
knew Jesse was Pious. So we determined
the greater part of US, that we wouldn't
have no psalm-singing-no canting pray
ing-no reading out of the Bible.
Well, the minister came and found {
Babel. We all got together, and we raved
and laughed, and pitched quoits, and made
such noise that the parson had to give i
up. He tried agin and agin, and came
right among us-he was plucky, | tell ye
but we hooted in his ears, and threw mud
on his bettermost clothes, and SO he was
fairly driven of-'cause you see we hat
