a HEAVY DAYS BusNEss.-The fourth day Of
January falling on Sunday, made Saturday rather a
brisk day in financial matters in this city. The
amount maturing on the LIST and 4th was unusually
heavy, and, we are gratifed to say, was met with
unusual promptitude. The payments falling due on
that day were probably larger than have ever been
known here on any single day, and speaks well for
our city that there was scarcelya protest. We be-
leve there was not solitary instance of piece of
commercial paper being dishonored, and the only
cases Of protest were some promissory notes fol
insignificant sums.
We congratulate our entire community on this
sound and healthy condition of affairs-t argues well
for the future-[ Vicksburg Wing, 9th inst.

the Immaculate Conception Church, on Christmas,
during divine service, and took seat. When the
contribution plate was passed. she suddenly seized it
from the hands Of the collector and emptied its con-

was taken out, and by threats Of imprisonment was
finally induced to shrink and shake the money
out Of her clothing upon the floor.
