FRANKFORT, KY, April IL !
By the hand ofian assassin great grief
has been brought upon our country. The
Chief Magistrate of the nation, the Pres
itlent of the United States, Abraham Lin
coin, has fallen victim to rebellious
hate under the vengeful blow of an as
sassin. He has fallen at time when his
great qualities of humanity were so hap
Sily invoked for the healing of our ma
tional woes, with no stain of vindictive
motives upon his soul, with a great heart
of genuine sympathies and broad human
tiles. His untimely fall has bowed a
nations head in mourning.
Oh Wednesday, the 18th inst, at the
hour of I2 o'clock, in the hour of his
funeral, let every church bell be tolled
throughout the Commonwealth, and on
that day let all: business be suspended
and all business houses be closed and the
public offices closed and draped in mourn
ing.
u The citizens of Kentucky are. invoked
to pay that homage to the national grief
which such great calamity inspires.
