years old, attempted to chas-
tise his son Martin. youth

father seized boot as the most convenient

most ungovernable temper, flew at his
father in violent passion, with an open
pocket-knfe in his hand, and
before he could be prevented, had severed
two of the principal arteries in the old gen
tleman's arm. Death ensued in less than
an hour, and the young parrcide escaped
before he could be arrested. Coleman

intelligence is occasionally received in a
roundabout way.
The cavalry, which rendered excellent
service in securing the hills for the indicted

after John Aikman. who was eventually
captured, the cavarymen had rough ex-
perience, being water-bound several days

Considerable difficulty has been found in

Last Thursday night the prisoners at the
Jackson Jail made an unsuccessful attempt
to escape by burning the doors with a hot
poker. There are fifteen men now in the
Jail.
The infantry will probably remain in
Breathitt week or SO longer, and peace
will no doubt prevail.
