The OK GEN. GRANT. 1.-The great
OK, General Grant among the entries
of fat cattle in our State Fair, and 10y
far the most noticeable animal on the
ground, was born in Avon, Livingston
Co., n. Y, ten years ago, being then the
property of Mr.. Mccchcr, of that place.
He was drawn by his present owner,
Mr.. Carlos Pierce, Of Stanstead, T.. O.,
at the Sanitary Fair at New York, six
years ago. He was Kept on a farm for
two years, till the war being at its most
critical period, Mr.. Pierce offered the OK
as a prize to the Union General who
should first enter Richmond, before the
Presidential election in November of
that year, 1864. But Richmond was not
taken within the time, and on Mr.. Lin
coins reelection, the OK was presented
to him by Mr.. Pierce. President Lin
coin accepted the present, and i'll urn
presented the OK to the Soldiers and
Sailors Sanitary Fair at Boston, as his
contribution. He was exhibited for two
weeks, the proceeds amounting to 1878,
which amount was credited to Mr.. Lin
coin as his donation to the Fair. He was
then ratified for, and drawn by Mr..
Thacher, of RoXbury, Mass, who kept
and exhibited him as the white ele-
plant" for eight months. He was then
sold by auction in Boston, and was re-
purchased by Mr.. Pierce, for $3.50, to
keep him from the hands of the butchers
He afterwards permitted him to be eN-
hibited for the benefit of the Sanitary
Fairs at Chicago, Baltimore, and Phila-
delphia, realizing for the objects of those
Fairs, the handsome sum of $4,000
Since then he has been kept on Mr..
Pierce's farm in Stanstead, leaving it
only for exhibition at several Agricul-
tural Fairs in Canada and the States.
He is a very handsome animal, in the
way of Bovine beauty; of light cream
and weighs four thousand pounds. He
is the heaviest OK of which there is any
authentic record, in any country. We
are indebted for these facts to the cOur-
tesy of his owner.-Free Press.

A general uproar followed the reading OF thu

come serious. The Lord Mayor retired from
the chair, and, with other gentlemen on the
platform, left the hall. The Torres then rush :
ed upon the platform, and held AZ for a short
time. They addressed the audience IN an ex .

The report which was circulated At DaIs-
ware, (Ont.l Canada on FRIDAY last, thar a
young girl, twelve years of age, the daughter
OF Henry Jones, was missing and supposed TO
have been murdered, turns out to be true. Al
ter two days searching, by large parry Of
men and women. her mangled remains were at
last discovered about five o'clock on Sunday
evening in hole by the side of a tree which
mad recently fallen, covered up with leaves
and rubbish, and a log placed on top Of her.
On examining the body the injuries seem to
shocking spectacle. a club or some heavy
weapon having evidently been used. From
facts winch have come TO light there Is no
doubt that her uncle, Thomas Jones, and has
daughter, girl fourteen years of age, are the
perpetrators of the dreadful crime. On thu
finding OF the body the most intense excite
ment prevailed, and the feeling OF the whole
neighborhood runs so high that the greatest
precautions have 10 be taken 10 keep the pris-
oners from being lynched.
The inquest was held nj the Town Hall. Dal-

crowded that the floor Of the hall gave IN, and
the whole OF the jury and about seventy five
other persons were precIpltated into the base

sons were badly bruised, but IL is hoped none
very seriously injured
They resumed the examination in the drill
shed, and the jury returned q verdict of swlli-
full murder" against Thomas Jones and HE
daughter, Elizabeth Jones. The evidence is
very clear against the prisoners. Jones son. q
child ten years old, saw them strike the fatal
blow, and another son, seventeen years OF age,
acknowledged his father told him that they
had committed the deed and buried the body
