Good business suits sold at from ten to
twenty dollars, coat, vest aud pants
and as n consequence OF such cheap
rates, everybody rushed to bny All
along c street, each OF the clothing
stores entered with spirit into the sell
irs ~iurore, and disposed Of clothing OF
nil kinds at ruiuously low rates. A
perfect string Of meu were coming down
from Virginia TO Gold Hill last evening,
Zach with II new suit Of clothes on his
back and another under bis arm. How
long this grand clothing tournament
will continue, is simply n question Of
who can hold out the longest, but the
most prominent of the legitimate parties
concerned swear that they will carry it
on until the firm which i~nauguratct this
nuhealthy raid shall burst up in disgust
and chang their Banner on the outer
wall" or show Il fing OF truce. Mean
