Boyd, McGibben, Ward and Frazer - ascended the pulpit and stood directly beneath an umbrella made of flowers and ribbons. Rev. Dr. Barlett, of Lexington, then came forward and pronounced the words that made Fred and Eugenia man and wife. The minister's voice, one of magnificent tone and volume clearly accented he sincerity of the event ad ceremony, full of divine instruction, beautiful sentiments, and wise admonitions, was impressive and eloquent, concluding the services with a prayer and benediction that God's gracious face may smile upon those who had plighted their vows, and bring the joys of a Christian life to them. The wedding party then left the church and went to the home of the bride's parents on Locust street where they were tendered a magnificent reception. The bride is a daughter of Capt. N. W.

Lail, of Paris was shot and killed near Albuquerque, New Mexico, by a man named Preston. The killing was the result of a dispute over a claim of land. The following is taken from an account of the affair given by a correspondent of San Pedro to the Albuquerque Democrat. "During the past few days a dispute had been going on as to the possession of a triangular piece of land, with a frontage of fifteen feet, between Leon Lail, a cousin of George Lail, Ex-Mayor of your city and George Preston a Hebrew Peddler, who was perambulated to this country for three years past. "Yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock, the parties met on the disputed ground and after hard words Lail raised his hand as if to strike or push Preston, when the latter drew a double-action 38 calibre pistol, and without any warning, fired, the ball entering the upper cavity of the heart, death resulting in about 30 minutes. "A coroner's jury was at once impaneled, and the evidence given before Judge Barton is substantially as above narrated. "All witnesses agree that Lail was unarmed and no just cause is given for the murder. "The coroner's jury brought in a verdict that Leon Lail came to his death by a pistol shot in the hands of John Preston and the latter was held without bail to await the action of the grand jury. "The old portion of the camp has had some trouble by reason of lot jumping and the removal of stakes, but the holders of lots on the new town site are peaceably enjoying their possessions and all claims are respected. "Old timers who have lived in and visited many mining camps, concede this is the quietest and most orderly they know of and this awful death has saddened the hearts of many who will long have a kindly remembrance of Lee Lail."

Veach, Publisher Pg. 1 Col. 2 Death of Gen. W. T. Withers Gen. William Temple Withers, one of Kentucky's most worthy men, died near Lexington, ion Sunday last at 12:30 a.m. aged 64 years, leaving a large family consisting of a wife and ten children, eight daughters and two sons. An only brother, J. S. Withers, cashier of the National Bank of this city, and an only sister, Mrs. Jennie Smith, of New York, also survive him. Gen. Withers was of Virginia parentage, but was born in this couty, Jan. 8 1825. He was educated at Bacon College, Harrodsburg, where he graduated in 1846 and was to have delivered the valedictory address of his class, but before the closing exercises of his term, he had volunteered for the Mexican War, and joined the Mercer County company lettered "C" of the Second Kentucky Regiment, commanded by Col. McKee and Lt. ; Col. Clay. At first made orderly sergeant, he rose to the rank of Lieutenant: for a time served as Aide-de-camp with Genearls T. Marshal and W. O. Butler, but when the fighting began, returned to his regiment, was with it till wounded at the bloody battle of Buena Vista, where Col. McKee and Lt. Col. Clay were killed. A Mexican musket ball struck him in the left hip and passed squarely through the body coming out exactly opposite the point of entrance in his right hip. These Mexican musket balls were very large; they were of iron or copper round and being over three-fourths of an inch in diameter. The ball itself would make a hideous wound, but in this case struck a chain that carried the young Lieutenant's sword and carried a portion of it through the wound making a hideous jagged hole. The desperately wounded man was carried off the field, no one supposing for an instant that he would live beyond a few hours. But a surgical examination showed that the ball had missed the spinal column and the lower intestines. How such a thing was possible is almost beyond conception. But the vigorous young officer soon recovered. The wound healed and not until about seven years ago did he supper any special inconvenience from it. Then the wound broke out afresh; the supposition being that a piece of medal had been left in the wound,, which became encysted as the wound healed. For some reason not known, this encysted protection must have given way and suppuration was set up. At the time of General Withers' life was despaired of. Dr. Boyd of Jackson, MS came to Lexington and nursed the invalid back on convalescence. In Harrison County, when only 24 years old, Gen. Withers made a canvass for member of the constitutional convention, and although opposed by such able men as Gen. Desha and Capt. Newell, he demonstrated his ability and force of character. Many of his most ardent admirers, and friends told him he could not defeat the old war horses, but that he could be elected to the legislature without opposition. He didn't care for a seat in the Legislature, but did desire a higher fields for his ambition. Under all the circumstances the General, though defeated, made a most creditable contest. He never afterwards sought position. When a young man, Gen. Withers was married to the daughter of Gov. Sharkey of Mississippi. His home as that of his father was in Jackson. His father, Wm. Withers, was murdered in Jackson during the war by some Federal soldiers. When the war broke out, Gen. Withers espoused the cause of the South, entering the artillery service and raising to the rank of Brigadier General. He was a trusted officer who always did his duty of a soldier. Before the war Gen. Withers was a wealthy man, but the fierce tide that swept over the South bereft him of all except the naked lands of his plantations. To recover was apparently hopeless. Coming to Kentucky, he met his brother, Jas. S. Withers, of this city, who said to him: "You fought for the cause which I believed was right, and have lost all, I have stayed home and have made some money; I have ten thousand dollars in gold which I want you to take and if you ever pay me it is all right, if not, all right." Such timely assistance may have been the foundation on which Gen. Withers built his splendid fortune, but his pluck and indomitable courage would have won under any circumstances. Gen. Withers funeral took place Tuesday at 2 p.m. from his late residence at "Fairlawn," the following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers: Mr. W. S. McChesney, Mrs. Jas. W. Woolfolk, Judge Jerry Morton, Judge J. Q. Wrd, Prof. A. Fairhurst, Prof. H. H. White, Mr. Jno. Allen and Major H. C. McDowell. Matrimonial In Lexington, Tuesday, at Phoenix Hotel by Eld.
