A Tragedy. The Cincinnati Enquirer relates an event that lately transpired near Osborne, on the railroad between Dayton and Springfield, on Thursday evening last. About three years since, a young farmer, named Ricketts, left his family to seek his fortune in California. Seven months ago a man by the name of Wm, T. Gaylord call work ied upon Mrs. Ricketts and informed her that husband died a short time since in Cali- ofiifested much distress atthe announcement. fornia, of chronic diarrhoea. The wife man Lraylorcl staid in the neighborhood, and, after a time, proposed to marry the widow. She refused at first, but finally consented. He took her letters from the post office, and destroyed those that came from Ricketts. After marriage, he proposed to sell the farm, which was a valuable one, and remove to iKanzas. She consented, and it was adver- tised in the Dayton and Cincinnati papers, Ricketts happened to see this, in a paoer ia asgSan Francisco. Surprised, and enraged, he once started .for home. Arrived in the neighborhood he learned these facts. He armed himself, and went to his old home at l0 o'clock in the evening. His wife seeing h;m) screamed, and fainted. Gavlord came 01lt of a r00m when RiUs seized him, and stabbed him in the side. He then cut wife on the neck and shoulder, and left, and has not since been heard of. Gavlor.l was alive Rt lhe last reporls. The Rev. London Farrill, a colored man, , was followed to the grave, m Lexington, Ky., a few days since by nearly 2.000 per- sons.
