The Quincy Murder and Suicide.

| Inc DalunlOre Sun puDll5hcs the 1onOw
ing article, which appears to identify the
parties of the tragedy at Quincy, Mass.
which We recorded, and known there as John
Green and George Sand. The day of disap-
pcaranco from Iancsvillc, which VIC suppose
from the extract to be Monday, the 14th ol
October accords with their appearance in
Now York, says the Commercial, on Their
way 10 the East, which, according to the
memorandum found in their room, was a.
bout the 22d of October.
1--WE were yesterday called on by gentle
man, who informed us that he fully rccog-
nizes the parties to this mystery, as having
been John Grievc and his wife Hannah
the first the son Of Mr.. Peter Gricvc, of
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and tho latter the daughter
Of Mr.. John Banks, of tho same place. He
states that they were noted for their roman
tic freaks, and that the wife has been known
TO attend lectures, dressed in male attire,
where no ono but males we're admitted, and
that they made a practice of going out in
boat in the Muskingum river she atlred
as a male, for the purpose of sailing, bath
ing, &c. The following, published in the
Sun of the 2lih of October last, is the last
that had been heard Of the parties at Zsncs.
vile -
DEATH BY DRowNINo.-The GAINESVILLE
Gazette records the death Of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Grieve. They were in the habit of
rowing and sailing up the Nuskingum after
moons, taking their evening meal along.
They also took books, and read as they aoat-
ed upon tie waters, until twilight. Monday
night they did not return. Tuesday their
boat was found bottom side up and the
shawl and basket of Mrs Greye. Their
bodies had not been found.
1t was also stated, in more detailed ac-
rounts published at the tiue Of their disap-
pearancc, that she was dressed in male attire,
and our informant further states that the de-
scrpton Of the parties published in the Sun
on Tuesday and yesterday is precisely that
Of the missing John Gtieve and biz wife,
even to the wreath on his arm, in the centre
of which i, is said was the figure Of female,
which he had often seen.
Mrs. Grieve was young anil very intelli-
gent; wrote both prose and poetry with con-
siderable merit, but was of q marked ro-
mantle disposition, so much so that when
generally supposed to be drowned those
who knew them best believed that i, was
but another romantic freak, and that they
would again be heard from. Greve was a
loot maker, and had also acted as an engi-
ueer on the Mississippi, which corresponds
with the statements made BY the parties TO
tho tragedy prior to their disappearance
from Quincy, where the man bad been work
ing at boot making. They were both of re-
spectacle and wealthy families, and were
well provided for before their mysterious dis
appearance.
Our informant also states that, If the man
should prove TO be John Grieve, other marks
will be found on his right arm, he having
commenced TO print his name on it in India
ink, but, after getting as far as John Grie,''
ceased the operation. If this is found to be
the case, it will settle the point as 10 his iden-
,ity."

The Poor Mans Death-Bed.


Tread soltly.-bow the head
In rcvcrcnt silence bow
No passing bell doth toll,
Yet an immortal soul
Is passing now.
Stranger how great so Ger,
With lowly reverence bow
There's one in that poor shed,
One by that wrelched bed,
Greater than thou.
Beneath that paupcr's rest,
Lol Death doth keep his state;
Enicr-no crowds attend
Enlcr-no guards defend
The palace gate.
That pavement damp and cold,
No whispering courtiers tread;
One silent woman stands,
Chatting with pale. thin hands,
a dying head.
No busy murmurs sound:
An inian, wall alone;
y sob supprossed-aeain
That short, deep gasp-and then
The parting groan
Oh, change Oh, wondrous change I
Burst arc the prison bars!
This moment thcrc-so low
lis mortal pangs-and now
Beyond the stars
Oh change stupendous change
There lies the sensclcss clod
The soul from bondage breaks,
The new immortal wakes
Wakes with his God

NEW YEARS DAY, 1851

| a II the commencement of New Year,
L n. the undersigned take the appropriate oc.
ca sion to tender their Acknowledgements for
the constantly increasing patronage which
has attended their business in Fayetie, and
at the Same time beg leave to lay before their
friends and the public, the principle on which
their Mercantile operations will be conducted
for the present year.
We are well assured that a Mercantile busi-
ness upon a general system Of credit, cannot
be conducted with advantage TO buyer or sci.
Ter, and that such system debars a town
from successful competition with those whose
Merchants pursue more prompt and vigor.
Gus course nor do we believe that the pres
ent monetary condition of the country re-
quires general credit in the sale of Goods
any more than in tie sale Of Agricultural Pro.
dWCe.
We, therefore, for ourselves, adopt what
we conceive to be more sound and healthy
system, one which we think will commend it.
self to the favorable consideration Of our old
friends and the public, and unde, which we
hope to see our business increase--not by
lessening that of our neighbors, but--by en-
increase in the commercial importance Of the
county seat of Howard County.
From and after this date, our business will
be conducted on a strictly cash basis. We,
therefore, respectfully invite the attention of
the public TO our neLo grade Of prices, " hich
are reduced to the LOWEST NET CASH STAND.
ARD; and with unsurpassed facilities for pur-
chasing goods, and doing business advantage
ously, we assure our friends that every prom
Use will be rgidly performed aud that WE
WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD, ON any
terms.
Making then, the VERY LOWEST CASH PEI

the other, the standard to which Ill goods sold
by US shall invariably conform, we have no
objection 10 a legitimate use Of credit in the

ness, upon the following principles:
We will open accounts with punctual and
nnqnestionsby responsible purchasers, on
such length oftime and equitable terms as we
may mutually agree; but all goods sold on
open account without special arrangement,
Will be deemed payable on demand
On oil accounts which remain unpaid over
six months, (without special contrac) four
per cent per annum interest will be charged
from the commencement CT the account until
the end Of the year.
OF A few goods which have remsinod in
store year or more, are offered for sale at,
and in some instances undsr cost, as we shall
send all unsold goods of this class to auction
before receiving our spring supplies.
Our stock Of goods is unusually good and
complete in every department, for this season
Of the year; and we desire TO be rapidly max
ing room for an extensive spring importation
by quick sales.
An examination of our stock and prices, is
very respectfully solicited, by
