the management for the elegant
manner in which the whole enter

but were very favorably impressed.

such a notice as we think due, and

man, in the right place. Mess.

An Officer Shot.

On Sunday evening last, 18th inst.
Aaron Dawson, cold, devil in the
Mail Office, made a descent there
from to the store Of j. Stadeker,
and took possession of sundry arti-
Giles. He was detected in the very
act, and was arrested by Robt. Viii
liams, Constable, and by Justice
Wood was ordered to Jail till Mon
day morning. When near the Jail,
Aaron, who knew Williams to be
unarmed, broke from his grasp,
and, drawing pistol, fired four
shots at him, the first taking effect
in his left side, and passing through
that lung. Aaron was arrested
shortly after. by Capt. Turk and
Col Bowers, who found him busily
reloading his pistol. Williams is
better, to day, (Friday,) but his re-
cOvery is said 10 he beyond hope.
On charge of burglary, Aaron
was fined $500, aud remanded to
prison.

A BRISK DAY.-It is almost too
late to speak of it, but last Saturday
was a very brisk and busting day
in our town. The principal streets
were crowded with cottOa wagons
in the forenoon, and in the after
noon left the busy mart of trade
well filled with groceries and sup
plies, showing that there had been
very general interchange of SEN
timeuts and exchange of commodi-
ties between the tiller of the sol!
and the merchant, to the mutual
benefit of both. Much greenbacks
must have changed hands last Sat

peat, thoroughly, we can certify to its purity

Being the pure, native juice of the grape. it is
far superior TO Claret, and equally as cheap.
In conversation with Mr.. Tucker, he re-

to make fortune off his wines. but he thought
if he could introduce it more generally into
public use, and get men to drink pure wines
instead of the impure alcoholic wines and
liquors with which the public was dosed " ad
he would have done some good in

Tucker fully in this view of the matter, and
