We have tried the old-lashioned long
winded credit system long enough. and
have firmly made up our minds to adopt
the old maxim that ga nimble sixpence
is better than slow shilling, and shall
hereafter conhne our business to this
maxim, and are determined that we will
sell as low as can be purchased at Chicago
or elsewhere, for cash. We are aware
that "puDng' is now the order of the
day, and think ii unnecessary TO say more,
but if you will give us call and examine
our stock, we shall not grumble if you do
not purchase, for without our customers
are satisfied we are giving them good bar
gains, we do not wish to sell.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.-In the last Vcksburg
Wing we find the particulars of singularly
fatal tragedy in Tehua, Holmes county, Miss.
Itseems that a difficulty had existed for some
time between two persons named Newman and
Sanford, both citizens of lIolmas. On the day
on which the tragedy was enacted, Newman
called at the residence of Sanford with a view
Of effecting a reconciliation of their difficult
ties. The parties oonversed for some time,
and their difference was supposed by Sanford
to have been amicably adius ed. The parties
shook hands and were about to separate, when
Saniord's side being turned towards him, New
man raised large double barrelled gun, load
ed with buck shot, and forced the whole load
into the abdomen Of his adversary. Sanford
staggard back against the wall where his gun
was hanging on rack, and though almost in
his last grasp, he succeeded in dwelling his gun
and lodging the load in the abdomen of New.
man, literally tearing out the enlrails. In a
few seconds after the second shot, both parties
fell dead, side by side.

This movement occurred where there was less pros

sons. The wood shed attached TO dwelling at the
base of the hill on the south of the avalanche
was carried away, and the house had narrow es'

The amount of earth brought down by this slide
is not surpassed by the quantity Which descended on

A portion of the bill on the north Of the aval.n-

no further danger. Meantime persons living in the
vicinity of danger should be induced TO vacae the
premises. BY this would not alarm the neigh

P. S.-l2 M.-We have just returned from The

The hill at this hnle presents peculiarly nteres-
ting appearance. Besides the mass that has found
a resting place on the level below there is huge pile
or mound separated from the hill and resting Al about
fifty feet FRI m it, leavGpa chasm of much depth be-

the summit n re are two large holes through which
a powerful sream flowed during the night and spent
its force not until this morning The aperuros are
two or three ie in diameter, and some adventurous
ones who have climbed within few feet of them
say they penetrate far into the bosom of the hill.
The remainder of the hill is now merely "hons
back" and although the summit is not less than 260
or 300 feet above the original level of the adjacent
plain, no distant day, we think will be levelled so
as 10 form an easy decvity down to Washington
