Some weeks since, at a fair in Mercer coun ty, one man sneaked np behind another, and, without any warning, drew a pistol and shot hiin dead and the judge before whom ho was examined decided that he was justifiable in the act. The case is thus related by the Hurrodsburg Transcript: i On Thursday of last week at the Fair grounds near Salvisa, in this county, Absa lom Jenkins was shot and instantly k.lled by Robert McAfee, jr., in a crowd of some five or six thousand persons. The' exam ining trial was commenced on Saturday mnniinff. but the parties not being in read iness, was coutinued until the following Wednesday, the whole of which day, with a part or Thursday, was occupied in the of witnesses. ! The Court was composed originally of Tudirc Chinn, of tlio t'ouuty v-ouri, ..u u. J. Driskeii, a ' r but the case IPs vntw 7 alone. : ; ; The testimony mtrooucea in nciuin o. .w Commonwealth served to establish the fol lowing facts: that the defendant and the j .a k.rl hnth heen unon tho irround utt" " v. r for several hours bclore tne occurreuw-. the homicide, tuero rjeing m however, that any words had passed be tween them, although they had passed each other repeatedly, and each was ev.dci.Uy or ti.. nrliprs oresencc: that at the time the killing occurred, tne aB"" in friendly conversation with S. S. Mcat ridire and Ben. M. Kirby, in relation to a matter of business, evidently nnconcious or the close proximity of the defendant; that the latter approached the deceased from behi id,and placing a pistol close to the back of his head, fired and killed him i...ntt. ' " 1 The defence relied mainly upon prooi that threats of personal viol nee had been h the deceased atfainst tlie defend- . intrtvlnced a lanre number of wit- mtin this fact, and also to show that the manner of the deceased on the day of the homicide, while passing the dcf.-wlaut m f mound", was tucii a to induce the belief that he was anxious to bring on a AtcliisoN. A Missouri paper states that Davy R. Atchison, who three years ago " was thn mightiest man of the border, and whose fierce tramp made the prainei tremble," has abandoned " the stormy field of politics entirely, and is now living in perfect retirement upon one of the most ex tensive and best-improved farms in the State, enjoying that easo and dispensing that unostentatious hospitality so grateful to his cultivated taste and generous nature, Death or a Rcffian. A notorious In IQr A correspondent of the Chicago Free Press, reflecting on tho sad fato of the m'uaiiiff aeronaut, has sheen "induced to compute the time he would be Iu Killing to tho earth; his mean velocity, as well as the momentum with which ho would strike tho earth, nis elevation was thought to bo about three miles when ho was last seen, and assuming this to bo tho distance which he fell, it would only require 31) seconds for him to reach the earth, at a mean ve locity of 495 feet per second. Assunio his weight to bo 160 pounds, ho would strike the earth with a momentum equal to 100,- 800 pounds, or a littlo more thun 80 tons, a power sufficient to scatter his body, bone, and muscle into atoms so minute as scarcely to bo perceptible, if not to bury him deep iuto the earth."

Thcso : wheels are now extensively manufactured In ' England, and are said to possess several advantages over those hitherto used. They ' aro stated to be less expensive than iron tired wheels, and to be cnpuble of travel--ing as many as twclvo thousand miles, . whereas an Iron-tired wheel U said to be worn away after traveling four thousand miles. A n Improvement consists In forming" lhe" per!phe7 of the wheels of a dish liko figure, In which the India rubber lies, with : a projection in the center, dipping far down into tho wheel, so that as the pressure in closes so does security in proportion, and tho rubber presents a curved figure to the road, similar to a new half-round tire.
