?BBgggBgyB?-L- I *m CTBSgSBB?.' .1 WM B Col. Tom Bitot*. Who kilted Judges I$lliQtt,in Kentucky because the latter had ohob deqldea against DuCord's sister in a law suit, talks of his deed as something for which he was not responsible. "Oh, it was fate," be.says, "and couldn't have been any other way. My sister had been wronged, cruelly wronged, and I had to avenge her. Why, .the last time I visited her grave t oould hardly get away, I felt so bad about the wrongs that had been done to her. I loved my sister, and I promised her on her deathbed to meet her in heaven, and I cannot forgot it. I expect to meet her in heaven. 1 have only done what fate ordered. It is a sad thing, but 1 couldn't help it, and didn't want to help it. I can't tell what will be -the result, but am willing to await the verdict of a higher power than any of this world.", A change of venue to Owen County has been granted, and the trial will come off in July, , , . . AN ATROCIOUS MuRusB.-oXoiYnville, ^*7 20. Authentic news has reached here tnat on tli'e 10th instant two young white men, named W. Ferguson and 11.

It has been found by mtdfroscoplo examination that a tired razor from long stropping by the same hand and in the same direction, has the ultimate fibres of its surface or edge all arranged ia one direotion, like the edge of a piece of out velvet; but after a month's rest these fibres rearranged themselves heterogeneously, crossiiff* each other and presenting a saw-like edge, each fibre supporting its fellow, and hence cutting the beard instead of being forced down flat without vuiung, as wnen laid ojr.
