leading iobbers have spurts of activity. but
there is no prevalent animation such As
should mark the height oft busy season.
Country buyers are canvassing the market,
but all of them take hold cautiously. and
most are disposed to wait a little in the
hope of lower prices. Those who believed
that the result of impeachment would turn
the market downward have been impa-
tiently expecting the conclusion of the
trial, while others are drifting along list
lessly to see what will turn up.
The business of the week in brown sheet
ings and shirtings has been somewhat
larger in the aggregate than last week, but
much less active than was expected, and
considering the advanced stage of the
season it is still comparatively dull. The
stock of brown cottons of most descriptions
is slowly accumulating in first hands but
with the continued high prices of the raw
staple there appears to be no disposition
on the part of manufacturers to press their
goods for sale at any concession from pre-
sent asking rates; while buyers are ex-
tremely cautious, and limit purchases to
quantities required to supply the imme-
diate wants OF trade, in the hope Of an
early decline. Indian Head, Appleton A,
Laurel ID, Massachusetts and Newmarket
RR standards are each quoted by agents at
l9 cents.
The demand for bleached sheetings and
shirtings is still chiefly restricted to few
leading makes of the best quality. In me.
dunn and low grades there is but little do
ing. Prices are without quotable change,
but purchases of considerable lots might
probably be made Of goods not fayorahly
known at some concession from quoted
rates. Our quotations are mostly subject
to a trade discount of one to five per cent,
according to terms of sale. New York
Mills bring % cents; Manville zoos are
sold close to production at % cents VAN
suttas sell at % cents for A, % cents for
9-S, and 80 cents for "a.
The demand for good styles of prints has
been more active than for almost any other
class of goods on the market; tasteful eff
fects are readily distributed at firm prices,
and new patterns of chintz colorings, pro-
dnCed by few of the most popular printers,
have been taken freely at an advance.
Merrimack are quoted by agents at 144c for

A GILES COUNTY SENSATION
What Was Found iu the Trunk Of q
Gay Widow at LynnVIIIe-Mystery
and Crime

What Was Found in the Trunk Of Il
and Crime
Lynnville, a little settlement" and
railway station on the Nashville and De-
catur railroad, sixiy-three miles from this
city, has been thrown into fever of ex-
ctement by a most remarkable discovery
in the house of a widow woman, Mrs.
Frances Strickland, who resides at that
place. A day or two since, the body of an
infant, badly decomposed, and with both
legs severed below its knees, was found
slowed away in her trunk, and had appa-
renny been there considerable length OF
time, the guilty mother not having the
courage to undertake its removal and bu-
rial.
She was placed under arrest, along with
grocer named VIM. Brickean, during the
war soldier of the Sd Tennessee Con
federate) Infantry, who was alleged to be
the father Of the apparently murdered
child About two years ago, james StricS-
land. her husband, was found dead in the
stable near his house, with his throat cut
from ear to ear, and no clue has ever been
obtained as to who his murderer could have
been. Strong suspicion now rests on Brick
can, as letters are said to have passed be-
tween the guilty pair previous to the cruel
death of Mr.. Strickland.
A batch of letters have been discovered,
some Of them being appointments for
meetings ofMrs. S. and her paramOur, and
Others advising her to resort to medicine to
bring about an abortion. At a CorOners
inquest, at which Justices Wagstati and
Shields OBLIGATED, a verdict was rendered
to the effect that the infant was born of the
body of Frances Strickland; that at the
time of its birth it was a living child that
wine of ergot had been used by the mother,
and that this failing to have the desired
effect, violence had been resorted TO.
Mrs. s. asserts that the child was alive
when born, and that Brickean was present
at its birth. She also alleges that he picked
it up, and that when he returned it TO her
the child was dead. 1t is supposed he
crushed it with his hands.
The affair has created a good deal OF ex-
citement, and acknowledgements are looked
for

This melancholy event, which had been

SET his signet upon his brow aud bleached

ABAD STORY FROM UP THE RIVER

Attempted Rape On Cincinnati
woman at GAINESVILLE HOteI-A
Nashville Coal Dealer I'm Trouble.
A bad story came down from GAINESVILLE
yesterday, which we give as a matter of
news, aud as we heard it, hoping there
may be some extenuating circumstances in
the case. A Cincinnati woman, known as
Miss Harrison, who has been for sometime
travelling in this State, selling patterns, ar
rived in Clarksville, few nights since and
put up at the Henry House, where she was
assigned a room. About IL o'clock of the
night Of her arrival, G.. B. WoOdcock, Of
the firm of q. b. Woodcock q Co., coal
dealers, 81 South Cherry street. Nashville,
came into the Office of the hotel, and sent
up note to Miss H., making infamous
proposals, to which she Indignantly replied
and Immediately sent for her trunk, in
which was a pistol.
Woodcock, nothing daunted, soon fol
lowed the trunk and entering the room,
was met by the indignant woman, who drew
her pistol upon him and attempted to fire,
but the weapon only snapped and the in
truder at once assaulted her and attempted
to violate her person. In this, however,
he proved unsuccessful, and was compelled
20 leave the house.
Miss Harrison, il is said, had never be-
fore seen WoodcoCk, though she was in
Nashville about a month. She now sues
him for $4,000 damages, and yesterday at
tachcd a coal-boat ia the Cumberland be
longing to him, and believed to contain
some 5000 bushels of coal. She has en-
/ gagged an attorney al GAINESVILLE, and will
also engage a Nashville lawyer to prose
| cute her suit

The Races To-Day.

The spring meeting Of the Nashville
Blood Horse Association opens to-day, and
we are gralifed to be able to state with
most dattering prospects for brilliant and
successful meeting; such an one, indeed,
a. has not been witnessed in Nashville for
many years. This is the more pleasing for
the reason that we had feared that it would
be otherwise. The horses now at the track
are here to run, and the weather proving
propitious, there cannot be a doubt that
this week will be notable one in Tennes-
see racing.
The entries for the Green Stake have
been published in our advertising colu INNS
Tor some days, and of the six nominations,
at least three will start.
For the second race, Association Purse.
two hundred and fifty dollars, mile heats,
the following entries have been made and
all will start:
1. E. A. Smiths Nell Gwynn by imp. Bonnie
Scotland.
2 ST Wideners OoItawah, by imp. Albion
3. +. Bssicks' Maggie Hunter by Australian.
4. p. Mitcnells Pat ClebUne. by HiaWatha.
The well known reputation of these
horses renders comment unnecessary. In
the pool selling last night, all had their
friends, and it was difiicdlt up to a late
hour TO say which one Of the distinguished
animals, it, indeed, any had been esiab-
lished.
We invite the ladies especially to &C
knowledge the Association by their pres
pncp to-day and everV 6av durino the
meeting. Ample and complete arrange
ments have been made to secure their com
fort, and we feel that their exertions to
hiring about asuCcessful result at least de-
serves such reward. In addition to the
many chiyalous gentlemen whose names ap-
pear upon the rolls az members of the As
ISOLATION, a committeeof FIVE Of their most
gallant brethren have been appointed, all
Of whom will place themselves at the COM
maud of the ladies'

Express CHANGE.-The Southern Ex-
press in this city has been merged into the
Adams, and the united offices placed under
the management of Capt. Thatcher, who is
well known in this community as entirely
competent to the task of carrying on the
business to the satisfaction of all interested.
The only regret we feel is the retiring of
A. K. Holt, who has been so long identi-
with the Express interests of Nashville
that we had come to look upon him as in
dispensable in this branch of the business
of the city. In leaving the office of the
Express Company, he cannot, of course,
remain idle, and in whatever business he
may engage his talent and experience will
make it a success. But while expressing
this regret from long and intimate associa-
ton with Mr.. Holt, we are sure that the
business of the company could not he
placed in better hands than those Of Capt.
Thatcher.
