BUSINESS SALES FOR TIE MONTH
OF NOVEMBER.
Returns to the Revenue ASSESSOR.

We give below the business returns
of the merchants Of our city. showing
commercial transactions during the
month of November. The total
amount aggregates $917,411. against
$924,781 for the month of October.
1t will be borne in mind that during
November, and also up to the present
time, tho money market has been ex-
traordinarily tight, and that the river
was at so low a stage as TO permit
only the smallest boats TO ply. TAX
ing all the circumstances into consid-
Grafton, we have enjoyed an excellent
trade. 1t will be remembered, also,
that a very large business is transacted
every month that is not reported. as
the merchants Qiquor dealers ex-
cepted) only make reports for sales
over $500 Those who sell liquors
make returns of all sales over $50, 600
per year. The following figures are
copied from the Assessors books:

horrible murder was committed at
Antioch Church. in Daviess County,

some young men were "cutting up "
and misbehaving themselves, when a
gentleman named Virgins repFoved
them for INDUCING in such nngehtle-
manly conduct. One of the young
men, named Albert Tanner, aged
about nineteen years, drew a knife,
