NEGRO SHoT.--Last night at about

NEGRO SHoT.--Last night at about
twelve o'clock a negro man by the
name Of scott Bailey, and another one
whose name We are unable to obtain,
were making night hideous with
their drunken bowling, when Sheriff
Bedwell and his deputy happened
along, and attempted to arrest them.
1t seems that after pursuing Bailey
70 the corner of Market and Second
Ntrects, that the Sheriff there ordered
{ him to halt, which he did, and max
ing tome threatening demonstrations
the Sheriff shot him in the breast the
Ball glancing on his ribs and going
around and lodging neal tho back
bone. The negro then fled with Bed
well pursuing, disdharging two more
shots at him, one lodging in the back
and lower part of his thigh and tho
other, grazing the small of his Back.
We are not sufficiently informed of
all the circumstances, to give an
Opinion whether or not tho officer
was justified in shooting Bailey. We
u are told that his wounds are not like
" to prove fatal. The other man was
arrested without difficulty.

The live stock trade at present, per-
haps owing to the unfavorably wet
weather, is extremely stagnant, and
but few buyers in the market. Fat
hogs Of which there are but few in
the country, arc nominally worth 8
to 7clive weight, cattle ofwhich large
numbers in this vicinity have recent
ly been sold to Chicago and New
York buyers, are worth 6 to u ow-
ing to quality for May delivery. Sheep
are dull and low, worth say 2 to 2Ac.
The prospects for a good trade
here this spring seems to be rather
flattering, and our merchants will all
be prepared for it shortly with fully
their usual stocks.
The retail trade has suffered some
what during the past week on ac-
count of the ice breaking up in the
river, but it is all out now, and r. w.
Champion & Co., are running their
two ferries without delay.
