Death of Uncle John Harper.

| From the Kentucky Yeoman August %
John Harper, Sr, Familiarity known as
"Uncle john Harper" the well known thor
oughbred-stock raiser aud distinguished turf
man, died al his residence in Woodford CO.,
last Wednesday morning, at 10 o'clock, and
was buried on Thursday afternoon in the
family burial ground on the farm where he
resided In accordance with hisrequest, made
known during his illness, which was protracI-
ed, he was buried without rel sious ceremony
or Other fornaity. There were. however,
present at his iniermeni forty or fifty of his
ueighbors, who assembled to pay res1ect 10
the memory of their old friend. The deceased
was in his 18th or 18th year, and had for the
last two years been quite feeble in health,
though he did not relinquish his attendance
on the turf, or his attention TO his race horses,
until compelled TO take to his bed n his last
illness.
He was of plain frugal family OF Pennsyl
vania Dutch origin, though long settled in
Kentucky in the locality in which he died,
near Spring Station, in Woodford county,
twelve miles east from this city. He was one
of FIVE children, only one of whom, Brother,
every married. Another brother, Adam, was
killed in 1864, by band of guerrllas who
visited his house for plumber. His brother
Jacob and sister Elizabeth were, on the | ith
of September, 1871, murdered in their beds by
ers and maiden sister had anassed large
property by frugaliLy in farming aud rearing
race horses. This they held in common, aud
all of it became the property of John Harper,
rs the survivor.
We learn that he leaves, by will, the home
stead, including six hundred acres of the finest
blue grass land in Kentucky, together with
all his race rises (includng Longfellow, to
his nephew, known as "Liule Frank Harper"
The deceased has for more than thirty years
been identified with the turfof Kentucky being
remarkable for his good Judgment, well as
his skill in the collection and training of
racers Though familiar to Kentucky turf
men for so many years il was not until he
took Longfelow to the East in 1871 that he
achieved National reputation as turfman
Since the retirement Of Lougielow he has re-
manned at home, prosecuting his business, and
was rarely seen away from home except when
attending the races at Lexington.

The DEAD ALvE.--A singular case Of mis-
taken identity is recorded by Philadelphia
paper. 1t seems that two or three months ago
the body OF drowned man was found in the
Delaware and taken to the Morgue for identi-
icaiion. About that time one Anthony Muir
ply, who resided in Alaska street. was missing
from his home. Some of his relatives visited
the Morgue and identified the body there as
that of Murphy. The body was removed to
the house on Alaska street, and Mrs. Murphy
declared that it was her husband, Arrange
menis were made tor the funeral, and the man
was buried as Anthony Murphy. Thursday
evening while the family was quietly sitting
in the house, Anthony Murphy walked in. He
was in good health, and was at once recogniz-
ed by Mrs. Murphy. Explanations ensued
and the general rejoicing can be better imagin-
ed than described

The Cincinnati Commercial has not taken
sides in the Beecher matter, but now comes 10
the conclusion that "Mr. Beecher's letters are
the most powerful eliminating evidence against
him yet produced. The correspondents and
the New York editors may write down Tilton
and Mouton; they will be unable to build up
faith in Beecher's innocence in The face of
evidence he has himself furnished.
The latest news from the frontier indicate a
lively little Indian war This will be glorious
