the well-known cotton firm Of Winches-
ter & Wolcott, stating that Mr.. A. s.
Wolcott the junior member Of the firm,
was thrown from his carriage in New
York, night before last, and killed. Mr.
Wolcott was known to almost every BUSH
ness man in the city as a strictly con-
scientious, upright and energetic bust
ness man, and after years of labor had
just began to accumulate competency,

A Divorce wanted.

To-day in the Second Circuit Cours
an application for divorce was filed by
Mollie Whitfield against her husband,
Charles Whitfield, who is resident Of
Upton county. The petitioner alleges
that they were married in January, 1870.
and soon afterwards the said Charles
Whitfield commenced abusing her,which
was continued until April, 1873, when
be beat her about the head aud face with
his fists and kicked her savagely. She
was compelled to leave him, fearing that
her life was in danger. Petitioner also
charges Charles with Inconsistency, and
locates the persons and places with ac-
curacy. In conclusion she prays that
the existing bonds Of matrimony be for
ever dissolved, and that she be restored
to al the rights Of a femme sole. the
wrongs Of femme covert not being de-
sirable under the circumstances

Alex Cash, arrested last night for lar

the Recorder. George Hartman, JEFF
ferson street brick presser, who does
nothing for an honest living, was sent
to jail this morning by Judge Winters
upon charge of larceny it having been
proven that George appropriated to his
own use several hats that were not his
property; his bail was fixed at $4,000
s. Bridgefeld was arrested for trespass
this morning, and j. Hodges, an hon
est (?) son of Africa, who tried to get
from the Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad Company the money due a
laborer upon forged order, was locked
up for attempting to obtain money
under false pretenses. Mikea Cannon,
a notorious vag. who fills himself with
beer taken from empty kegs in alley
ways and in front of saloons, was sent
up and fine of $25 imposed. Henry
Hawkins, for July drunk, paid So, and
Lew Porter, for trespass, paid $25. Jas.

As in Atlanta, Ga, so in Memphis
does the thing work AS follows: AT
last the hot season is upon us. June's
last breeze has swept through her aeeey
hair, and her cheeks are aaame with
July's hot breath. Delicious Spring,
with her dewy eyes aud her fresh pink
face, lies adead, garlanded with her own
yiolets; aud bold.faced Summer, swelter-
ing and dust-begrimmed, has come hur-
rying from the South.
An Eastern journal, under the head
o! Applied Sciences, states that tur-
keys and other fowls can be rendered
unusually tender II glass Of rum be

We doubt il this remedy was applied to
the old "roosters Of Memphis that
they would become tender. Indeed,
they have been pouring it in by the gal

The surface of that huge frog pond

until Monday next, when the Selma rail

guarantees that the county subscription

late revelations as to the calculations of

dence in the ability OF the members Of

what were the attractions back Of that
