These enterprising gentlemen have been

Of their store, and we have every reason TO
believe that their new stock of goods fully
corresponds to the improved looks of the
room. They desire to call especial atten-
ton to their fine assortment of imported
Irish Linens. Mr. Reilly himself is native
Of one Of the largest manufacturing towns
in Ireland, and has had rare opportunities
tor becoming thoroughly acquainted with

P~ Two young men in Mobile, having
had some personal difficulty, agreed that
each should take certain quantity of poi
son. One procured bottle of lsudanum
and divided the portion each was to swai-
low as his share But the challenged party
played "possum." and only put the bottle
to his lips, the other, in good faith, swallow
ing his part. Luckily, however, there was
only strength enough in the drug to give
him profound nap. They were arrested
for this novel mode of duelIing, and the
fellow who gave the challenge and drank
the poison was fined $50 by the magistrate.
The other escaped with reprimand.
