Another Snscide.

Bernard Anderson, well-to-do farmer,
residing near Union, Kenton County, Ken
lucky, about fifteen miles back of Coving-
ton suicided yesterday morning.
For some time he had experienced con-
siderable family troubles, which seemed
could never be settled by him. Early yes
terday he sat down by his wife, talked to
her about their mutual misunderstanding,
and loaded his gun.
He then went out of the room, and in
few minutes the report of shot was heard.
His wife soon found him in an adjoining
room weltering in his blood. Anderson
died short time afterwards. He leaves a
widow and one child. Family trouble is
the only cause assigned.

been coined. The only coinage of any con-
siderable amount was from November to
February last, made at the instance OF San
Francisco merchants, who represented that
it would be a great convenience to themsit
the mints would receive bullion deposits
for coming the dollar to meet the Chinese
New Year settlements
Instead, however, of going to China, most
OF 1t was shipped East and put in circula-
ton, and has become source OF great an
noyance and loss to persons holding them.
There are now ahoat throughout the coun-
try about three and half million trade dol
lars, which came into circulation at their
face value, but not being legal tenders, are,
in fact, worth only their value as bullion,
which is about 81 lilo cents, but merchants
and bankers nowhere in the country give
more than 90 cents for it. Inquiries also
continue to come in about the Mexican
dollars, some contending that an old stat
ute, unrepealed, makes it legal tender. This
is incorrect, as Section 1854 of Revised
Statutes saws: "No foreign gold or silver
shall be legal tender in the payment ol
debts"

The WHOLESALE TRADE-SPRING Pros
pECTs.-Our wholesale merchants are selling
goods in small lots, but the trade has not yet
opcned briskly. On all hands there are evil
dences OF spring seen and felt, except where
it is most needed. The demand for season.
able articles is by no means as large as the
supply, or as great as has been the case in
seasons past. However,, there has been no
great expectations Of big trade much be-
fore March 18th or April 1st, and merchants
are patiently waiting the approach Of the
season, when, In the ordnary course Of
events, a revival of trade may be confidently
anticipated.
In expectancy OF q continuance OF that
patronage heretofore very literally be-
slowed upon Richmond, the wholesale deal
ers in this city, Of every branch OF trade,
have laid in large and Well-assorted stocks,
and are prepared to furnish the retail trade
of Virginia, the Carolinas, Eastern Tennes-
see, and other sections Of the South with as
great q variety Of goods and delivered as
cheap as can be purchased at any OF the
large commercial marts Of the North and
East The liberality, courtesy, and fair
dealing which has always characterized the
actions OF the members Of the commercial
body OF this city is well known, and this,
together with the fact that they will this
season have an unusually well-selected sas-
sortment OF goods at bottom prices, should
not only bring to Richmond all the trade
heretofore enjoyed by it, but also largely
increased traffic. Patriotic Virginians will
aid in building up Richmond, especially
when it can be done to the mutual advantage
OF all parties concerned.
