calling for a Union" meeting. We have
not been favored with & sight of the docu

that DR.. j. G. Young is so successful While Other

been his application to his unprecedented prac.
tce, that he is perfect master Of his profession,
and can insure all relief from their troubles and
while others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered,
his course is onward and upward. placing him at

been bis increase Of business that be has been

want Of scientific medical treatment, and they
fear to apply to physician, because they have
been deceived, or their friends have BEEN by
some Of the charlatans who infest the community
and who publish themselves as good physicians
professors, etc. To all such we unhesitatingly
recommend DR.. j. G. Young. as physician in
whom all can place confidence. He is man Of
eminent and profound study, good surgeon an
honorable man, and one who can sympathse with
persons in atiliction. His standing asa physician
and gentleman are both guaranteed the first, by
his medical works, which are an honor to their
anthor. and the extensive and highly ucccssfu
course Of practice with which he has been honor

SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN KENTUCKY.--We learn
| from the Louisville papers that Il bloody tragedy
! occurred in Jefferson county on the night of the
LIST inst, the particulars Of which are thus stated
1t appears that three brothers named William
Hill, Jesse Hill and Russell Hill, who reside FIVE
miles out on the Nashville railroad were attacked
at their residences this morning about O'Clock.
by gang of rowdies, headed by Jim Walker and
jeff Rodgers. William Hill was asleep in the bed
with his wife when the fatal wound was inflicted,
and so close was the gun placed to the bed that the
powder burned the hand of his wife. Jesse Hill
VINO resided in the same house. was also shot in the
neck and back, causing immediate death. The
party then went to the house of Russell Hill, some
two and half miles from the place where the
other two were murdered, and while their hands
were still wet with the blood of their other VIC
TINS, and there, without provocaton, shot Russell
dead in his own house. 1t will be remembered
that these same parties, not long since, had diff
Guilty at Sulphur Well, in which the Walkers were
concerned. Late last night Chief Ray arrested
man charged with being connected with the affair
but we were unable to learn his name. The police
are on the alert for the balance of the party con
nected with this bloody affair, and will probably
capture them to,day.
The Journal states that these brothers BELONGED
to the same family that had feud in Garrard county
eight years ago with the Evans family in which the
latter were almost eXterminated It seems to have
been regular vendetta.
