WILLIAM AUSTIN, the convicted muir
derer Of his aunt in Garrard county, who
is in isil at Richmond, till the Governor
finds the time 10 say whether he shall be
hung or not, has, according to the Register,
been caught in plot TO murder the jailer
and make his escape. A letter to his
brother, which be tried to smuggle to him,
fell into the iailer's hands and disclosed the
business. lie and two Of his fellow pris.
oners were to saw out Of their cells, and
with the pistols that he begged his broth
er 10 send him, they were to march forth 10
liberty. II Austin receives the justice due
him, though, his release from Jail will only
be to slrangle to death on the gallows.
OLp MoSEY.-Mr. A. G. Robinson, who
by the will Of his father, Mr.. Jacob Robin
son, il made executor Of his estate without
security, has found among his papers,
number of odd looking pieces OF paper,
which over hundred years ago, passed
for money in the then young State Of Vir
ginia. One ofthem is for 500, and promis-
e. that it will be exchanged at the Treasu-
ry at the rate Of one for forty Spanish Mill
ed dollars. II is signed by John Lyme and
John Hopkins The others are for six
Spanish Milled dollars, and one is for one
sixth Of such dollar. The paper is Of the
coarsest kind, and looks much like the ma
nilla wrapping paper Of the present day.
Mr. Robinson supposes that they came
from the estate Of his grandfather, the late
james Robinson, who moved from Virginia
TO Kentucky at an early day, and settled
on the old Wilmot farm in Garrard, which
has become 80 notorious az the scene Of the
fearful tragedy enacted there recently.
A DIsGRACEFUL ROW, which We learn was
started by Wood Little refusing to pay the
entrance fee to the races at Spring Hill
Park, Crab Orchard, occurred there Satur-
day. The gste.keeper, Mr.. A. NJ. Hiatt,
succeeded in getting his money, but was
subsequently abused by Little to such
degree that he resented il with his cane,
giving him stunning lick on the head.
They were separated by bystanders, and in a
few minutes he and JOSH ones, who was acting
as marshal Of the grounds, came TO blows.
Little, it is said, also got the worst Of this
encounter, which would probably have
been the last Of his life, had Jones' pistol
gone of when he snapped il close to his
head. Subsequently a man named Gran.
Allen also waded into Little, and for the
third time he came out second best. FL
nally by order Of Judge Burch, Mr.. viii |
Saunders succeeded in landing Little in
Jail, though not withouta severe struggle. !
Little acknowledged himself to blame for
all the trouble, and lays II TO liquor, an ex-
euse that should never palliate an ofense.
THE Election yesterday was decidedly !
quiet one here. The opposition realized
early in the day that their efforts would be
vain, aud that their labor would be all they

contest, which they continued only for ap.
