Mr.. William Bullock, of the firm of Bull
lock Brothers, was shot dead on Saturday in
Lockport N. Y, by Arthur T. Pierce. Five
shots were fred at Bullock, two of which took
effect. The breaking of promises to and be-
trayal of Pierce's sister are said to have been
the causes Of the shooting. Pierce has borne
an excellent character. He is now IN jail.
The tornado which swept with such force
over East St. Louis Wednesday last passed
through the eastern part Of Green county, Hi.
nois, and did great amount of damage. It
struck the little town of Fayette with full
force, destroying the principal buildings as
eell at smaller ones. A,steam mill, a semi
nary and church were among tho buildings
blown down, and were completely demolished.
No lives reported lest.
There was severe rain and thunderstorm
on Saturday at Mobile, lasting five or six
hours. A colored woman was killed by light
ming, and the eastern and western sections of
tie city were completely overhowed, bridges
washed away and stores flooded The heavy
loss to the merchants by the OVERLOOKING is
due in great part to the new track of the New
Orleans, Mobile and Chattanooga Railroad.
The loss by the overflow, in bridges and mcr-
ehandsc, is rot less than $4,000.

the obstruction to the sidewalk and street.
They, it seems, have been receiving an immense
stock Of fall goods, comprising fannels, domes-
ties, boots and shoes, blankets, white and col
ored yarns, and no end OF groceries-such es the
best of teas, coffee spices, syrups and all other
things in that line.

CAL firstly, their supply of dress goods is superb
They have merinoes of the richest grades,
French and English poplins, black and fancy
colored alpaccas, and all the other and beautiful

The fact is, that Prescott is the best hat, glove
