An Omission,

In our hastily written sketch of the last week
giving an account of the various improvements
which are now IN progress or contemplation
among us, we inadvertently omitted the names.
of some of our citizens whose lberality and en-
terrrise are addings so much to the prosperity
Of our Village.
Mr.. II. S. Kerr has recently made a very ex.
tensive addition to his we'll known Est nblish-
ment OH Granite Range. The addition is a fine
brick structure, one hundred feet in length. and
extends in the rear Of the main edifice, afford
very complete stock, which the proprietor has
just received. Nr. Kerr has long been esta b..
llshed among us, and is well known to ou. bu-
siness community and to the citizens of our Dis
trict generally as one Of our most enterprizing
merchants. He is liberal cotton buyer, and
keeps always on hand a fine supply of choice
groceries. which he sells on the most accommo.
dating terms. His supply of groceries at pre-
sent is unusually fine and presents strong in.
ducements to the purchaser.
The private residences ofour Village present
many objects Of attraction to the eye of a
stranger, with their surroundings of fine shrub
berry and beautiful flower gardens. Some o
these are of recent construction, and others are
now receiving the renovating touch ofthe ar
tist. The beautiful aud tasteful residence o.

and convenience-durability and finish-whicf

A Remarkable Case.

James Stephens wa, convicted in New York
on Saturday. Of the murder of hi. wife by Dol.
son. The Herald SAYS:
The lending points in the Stephens case, 60
admirably set forth in the charge of Mr Jus

remains were exhumed by order of the author.

hypothesis that she came to her d. ath by poi

order that he might possess the more comely
person OF her niece. He attempted at 6rst TO

Well all this might have been, and yet the
