DOINGS OF A MILLIONAIRE,

DOINGS OF A MILLIONAIRE,
Everybody who lives in New Jersey
will recollect Billy Gibbons the million
aire. He was an eccentric man, and
numerous stories, are told of his freaks.
Here is one of them.
1t seems that Billy, while in coun-
try village in which he owned some
property, stepped into BARRIERS shop
to get shaved. The shop was full of
customers and the old gentleman quiet
ly waited for his turn.
4 customer who was under the bar
ber's hands when the old gentleman
came in, asked the ''knight of the ra-
zor" in an undertone, if he knew who
that was? On receiving negative re-
reply, he informed him in whisper, it
was cold Billy Gibbons, the richest
man in the State
Cad" said the barber, I'm charge
him for his shave"
Accordingly, after the old man had
had that operation performed he was
somewhat surprised, upon asking the
price to be told, seventy five cents
"Seyenty-Gve cents ?'' said he quiet
ly, isn't that rather high price p
Its my price, said he Of the lather
brush, independently, land as this is
the only barber shop in the place, them
as comes in must pay what l ask.
10 the old man this was evidently a
knock down argument, for he drew
three quarters Of dollar from hi
pocket, paid them over and left the
barber shop.
A short time after, he was in close
conversation with the landlord of a
tavern hard by, and topic Of CONVERSE
ton ''barber shops"
why is it p said he, there's only
one barber shop in town, there seems to
be nearly enough for two"
"Well, there used to be, said the
landlord. tin last winter when this
new man came up from the city and
opened new shop, and as every thing
in it was fresh and new, folks sort of
deserted Bill Harrington's shop, which
had been going for nigh forty years"
But didn't this Bill do good work {?
didn't he shave well, and-cheap %
"Well, as for that, " said the landlord
Bill did his work well enough and
cheap enough, but his shop wasn't on
the main street like the new one, and
didn't have so many pictures and hand
some curtains and folks got in the way
of thinking the new chap was more
scientific and brought more city fash
ions with him though to tell the truth.
said the landlord, stroking chin sown
with beard resembling screen wire; 81
never want lighter touch or keener
razor, than Bill Harrington's.'
"Cith fashions ell !" growled the old
man. $50 the new mans city fashions
shut up the other BARRIERS shop"
''Well, not exactly" said the land
Iord. though things never did seem
to go well with Bill after the new shop
opened ; first one of his children died
with fever, then his wife was sick a
long time, and Bill had a big bill to
pay at the Doctors then as a last mis-
fortune his shop was burned down one
night, tools, brushes, furniture and all,
and no insurance.
We'll, said the old man, pettishly,
why don't he start again.
Start again, said the communion
tive landlord, why bless your soul he
hasn't got anything TO start with.

AN OLD TINE FlArsoAr DOUBLE mapfa.
from the New Albany Ledger yulv 10

From the New Albany LEDGER July I'll
BY private letter written by lZfs David South
wick to friend In this city we learn that horrible
double murder was committed on q aatbOat at Mound
City, III, on Sunday night last, whereby two
were murdered in cold blood by an acGuaintance
named Rufus Adams0n, elso resident OF this CITY,
From all we can CLEAN from the letter 1t seems that
AdamsOn came on board the natboat on the night in
question and stabbed Southwick in the neck killing
him. while he was asleep. The monster then turned
upon Hodge, who was knocked In the head and his
body thrown overheard. After the commission of
the crime AdamsOn threatened Mrs. SOuthwick with
instant death If she gave the alarm and jumping
into a skiff made his escape. What could have been
the motive OF the murderer, unless 1t was for the
purpose OF robbery we are as yet unable to learn,
the information given by the letter Is quite BRIEF
The victims and perpetrator OF this terrible
tragedy are well known In this city. S0uthwick was
striker on the river but devoted great deal OF his
time to fishing. He, with his family were living in
fiatbOat at the time OF the murder and we presume
he was catching fish for the Cairo market. Asa
with his family at Cairo for some time past AS he
was seen painting on the Belle Lee and other boats
at Mound City few weeks ago. 1t Is supposed that
he was boarding on the natboat with Southwick's
family for convenience, both being well acquainted
in fact, they were raised together In this city. Adj
amsOn also boarded with SOuthwick, he having been
engaged at some kind Of work at Mound City. His
worthy citizen. His boy Rufus is wild and said to
be desperately wicked at heart. During the war he
was a private in the Sixty-sxth Indiana regiment,
and served good part OF his term In the guard
house. For the past few years he has been work
ing about the rolling mills here and on steamboats,
as laborer He Is about twenty years Of age, short
and heavy set.

ton on the body, and on opening The chest the

the evidence presented the case was submitted to
the jury, who rendered the following verdict-'That
Ann Ca laher, the deceased, to her death from
compression Of the brain the result OF violence at the

Reading your correspondence on the above subject

sufficient to prevent the employment Of incompetent
clerks. BY making the drug store keeper depend on

cover an illegitimate whiskey business the public
would be less frequently startled by acts OF careless
