L E. Rawson h a lately received and is
constantly making additions to his stock of
Watches of all kinds, and has now on hand
fine assortment of the celebrated Waltham
and Elgin Watches, which cannot be exceled
for durability and accuracy in time-keeping.-
These watches will always be sold at the lowest
possible prices, and all are fully warranted. For
persons who require strong, well made watch
nothing can excel watches made on the Amer
lean plan, as the peculiartes of construction rem
der them strong and less liable to get out of Or
der than most foreign watches. The Elgin watch
es have valuable patented improvement, which
/ in case of breaking the handspring, renders dam
! age to the train impossible. These American
watches are all made in regular sizes, so that
persons buying, can have cases of any thickness
or weight desired, and exchanges in either cases
or movements can be made at any time. E. E.
Rawson has also supply of cheap foreign watch
es which will be sold at the lowest figures. Also.
Jewelry and Fancy Goods of all kinds E. E.
Rawson is sole agent for the celebrated Lanca-
shire Lens Spectacles, also the Lazarus & Morris
perfected spectacles, which are sold at manufac-
turers' prices. These lenses are much superior
to the spectacles commonly Aawked about the
country and by their use, tend to preserve, rath-
er than injure the sight, and by his long expert
ence in fitting lenses to the eye, Rawson believes
that he can suit most persons much better thar
most of the so called opticians who travel the
country selling specs, because they are too lazy
to work, and find it natural and easy to tell lies.
These specs are always exchanged if after wear
ing short time they are found not to perfectly
ft the eye. %

Suicide or Murder Information was re-
ceiyed in the city yesterday that AIr. George
Rowsey an old citizen Of MeNairy, was
found near his residence on the 10Th instant
with his throat cut from ear to ear. No par
ticulars have been received - Memphis BuL-
letiR, 18Th.
From what we learn, Mr. Rowsey was
most foully murdered. It seems that he
went out short distance in order to hunt
up some mules Not returning, friends
went in search, and they. found the old
mans body in pond of water, bis throat
cut from ear to ear, his pockets rihed, and
other signs which indicated horrible deed
of blood for the sake Of robbery. Our in
formant tells US that strong suspicion rests
on a certain person who is known to the
authorizes. As yet, we have heard Of no
arrests. Deceased is said to have been a
most excellent citizen, and leaves. a family
to mourn bis loss.

A young man named Skyles seized the

with a club. Enraged at this, Skyles felied
Walker to the earth, when John Milton,
friend of the latter, seized an axe and buried
it in Skyles shoulder, whereupon John Crow

array. The following is the reso'u.ion
agreed to by the committee in executive
session
ResolUed That the Senate do not approve
of the Introduction Of brevet appointments
to the rank Of General or Lieutenant Gene
raj, and do respectfully return to the Presi-
dent of the United States the nomination of
Lieutenant General VIM T. Sherman to be
General Of the army by brevet, and this
without prejudice to the eminent services
