A most shocking occurrence took on the 17th ultimo below Louisville on the Ohio river.  Two citizens of Bourbon County by the name of Stone and Mr. David Cobb of Lexington Kentucky were descending the river with about eighty negroes.  A few of them rose and killed their masters and a Mr. Gray, a passenger, returning home to the State of Mississippi.  In all, five persons were murdered.  Fifty-six of the negroes remained with the boat on the Indiana shore and those concerned in the murder, to the number of 18 or 20, fled into the country.  A part of them had been taken. – Nat.

Paris, Ky., Dec 18th – Patrick Hunt, who, the 27th of last February killed James Abnee because he testified against Mrs. Hunt, who was on trial for murdering her brother-in-law
Was hanged this morning. The condemned man preserved a stolid indifference and met his death with much nerve. On the scaffold he protested his innocence. The execution was one of the neatest in the state. [Submitted by Linda Dietz; March 2010]
