A HORRIBLE MrRDEE-We have heard the
particulars, from a gentleman of Martin county
who was present in the town at the time OF the
occurrence, of most tragcal affair which oc-
CURED in the village of Hsrrisonville, Davies
county, on the l4th inst.
! Is seems that young man named Gather had
| becomeenamored of young lady named Mary
! j arnall, and that some misunderstanding had
taken place between them after short court
ship. On the morning of the day named, Gather
took his Henry rifle and went into the main road
| leading into the village, up which Miss Yarnall
was walking toward hin. When they had nearly
met each other Gather fired upon the young lad v
the ball passing through her heart, killing her
instantly.
| Gather Immediately ran to a house near By,
stating to the occupants that be had killed M iss
Y :, and raving as though in the widest delirlum

he had never before exhibited any indications OF
insanity. He was arrested and taken before a
| Magistrate, who acquitted him. But there was
such an excitement among the people on account
of the atrocious crime that Gather was a second
| time arrested, and held 10 answer in the Circuit
Court. This is probably one of the most tragical
affairs that ever occurred in Daviess county
