that their work was determined, delberat,
and cold-hearted.
They then went through the door opposit,
the bed into Miss Betsy's room. Here
/ their hearts must have failed them, for theJ
left their work unfinished. There were
seven frightful gashes over her head and face
The first blow evidently stilled her. and she
laid tincdnscious while they piled the bloody

dropped the hatchet III tie yard. 1t was
found soon after the tragedy was discovered,
but every negro on the place denied having
ever seen it before. Rolla and Mr.. Harper
recognized it Immediately upon their ar
rival.
Miss Betsy's wounds were dressed, and
she returned to consciousness yesterday
morning. She appears perfectly rational in
all except one thing. She is unaware that
anything had happened Upon being asked
who had been IN the house dnring the night,
she replied nobody. Who struck her; nobody.
Who killed Jake; nobody. She was conscious
Of everything except the terrible deed which
had been SO fatal to her. Ply scians say she
may live for eight or ten days yet, but that
she is so old and feeble that she can hardly
recover. Her skull is broken and crushed in
upon the brain in several places. 1t was r,,-
mored in Lexington last night that she had
died, but it is unlikely.
The whole Bluegrass region was in ter
rible state of excitement yesterday. About
Midway and in Lexington people quit work,
SO greatly was the whole community appall-
ed by the horror of the thing. 1t is hoped
that there will be no lynching or Ku-Kluy-
but the people are excited, and there is no
telling what may come Of it at all.

the shrewdest detectives in the country, and
the matter will be sifted to the bottom. It is

the murder, aside from its cruelty, will at

NEWSPAPER WoRK.---A recent writer very
pointedly and truthfuIly remarks that jour
nalism is the only profession which is denied
the privilege Of privacy. The Lawyer, Doc
tor and Preacher do their work in private,
and no weighty responsibility attaches to
them on account of it; But the journalist is
a mark for the public eye, and his every
movement is as open, as the course Of the sun.
The work Of the press is continuous, as well
as constantly public. There Is no rest for
the weary. Space Is .fso more annfhilated BY
telegraph than time by Journalism. The
evening and morning are. not merely the first
day but all the seven. Night IS annihilated
as to all its qualities of repose. Every min
lite Of every hour Of the twenty four is oc-
eilpied by some workers doing some work
that shows itself in the newspapersW the
day and afternoon. Repetition is as impos-
sible as rest. Facts are ever new. Com
ments must be as fresh as facts, and the eii-
ton is the remofseIess giant that eats up all
the seconds. The making Of d newspaper is
perpetual motion iii thousand fields. In
such work, demanding ceaseless effort, per-
nitting no pause, exacting eternal and ever
varying exercises, II il impossible for wheat
to be mixed with ctiaff, for accuracy not to
be impaired by mistake, for injustice occa-
sionalIy MOTTO be done. Boston r cord.

ABOUT. the most ludicroHs Incident that we
remember occurred the other day iii an ordi-
narily solemn village in the COW counties.
A Werthy matron who had been absent look
ing after a vagrant COW, returned home, and
pushing against the door found it obstructed
by some heavy substance, which, upon ex-
animation, proved to be her husband He
had been slaughtered By some rowing joker,
who had wrougt upon him with a pick
handle. To one Of his ears was pinned a
scrap of greasy paper, upon which was
scrawled the following sentiments in pencil
tracks: 1.-The inqulosed body is that ov old

part Of the story is that the lady did not wait
to summon the Coroner. but took charge OF
the remains herself; and in dragging them
towards the bed she. exploded in her face a
shotgun, which had been cunningly CON
triYed to discharge by a string connected
with the body Thus was she punished for

A MAN Dies from file Effects of
HE ~ Fright. ,is.

v K D. 4l.rF
In yesterdays issue were given the particr
ulars Of what was reported to be the death Of
d man from the effects of fall. A man
named Mcdonald, wagonmaler at Shep-
herdsyille, and who lived on the opposite
side of Salt river. started to walk across the
bridge at that point which is ysfy high,
with a rocky bottom beneath In crossing
the bridge he stumbled and tell between the
ties but, fortunately. managed to grasp the
ties with his hands and there hung dangling,
with one hundred feet of sheer fall beneath,
him. He was utterly unable to regain the
top Of the bridge, and he hung on with y
death grasp until his cries brought assistance
from the end Of the bridge. They lifted him
from his perilous position and led hfifi OF
the bridge. Upon reaching The brfdg6 he sat
down for few moments, and scanned GONE
what overcome hy the terrible danger
through which he had passed. When asked
| If he was hurt, he replied that his leg was
hurt little, and that lie would go home and
put some liniment OH it. He got up, wafked
few steps, and then fell to the groiniE and
expired. It was at first reported that he died
from the effects of injuries to his breast, re-
ceived in the fall, but which, it seems, was
not the ease. The nlysicia,,s. who carefullv

SPEAKISG Of the best time to sell wheat, an
exchange says: This is one of the most diff
ficult questions that farmeris called upon
to settle for himself, and he is about as likely
to decide wrong as right. AS most of ones
knowledge, worth anything practically, is
gained by experience, we have taken the
trouble to look over our files for the last
twelve. years and see the average price of
wheat during the several months of the year;
during all those years. The conclusion that
we have arrived at, after comparing the ruling
prices during term of years is that, unless
farmer is in circumstances to hold his wheat
over fill May or June, the sooner he sells it
after harvest the better For the last twelve
years the highest prices have ruled during
the months Of May, June and July, and the
next best during September and the first half
Of October. while the lowest prices have
been obtained during the months of NoveIn-
Der, December, Januray and February.
