THE price of raw cotton has advanced
fifty per cent within O few months, and
the price of wool twenty per cent. since
May first. This change did not come
unexpected to US, and this is why we
laid in so large stock of Carpets, CASH
meres, Sheetings ETC., early in the
Spring. The rise has already effected
prices of all cottons and woolens, espeo-
tally the heavy goods, but being SO we'll
supplied we continue to offer at the low
est prices goods ever reached, everything
we carry, with the exception OF a few
staples. As soon as present stocks are
exhausted consumers must pay consider
able more than now, as 6 great many
goods wonld cost US more to buy than
the price We ask for them.

Il passing along by Villas and Barnes
establishment, ore day this week, we
noticed 2 pile of bags about as large as
moderately sized hay stack, and on en-
quiry learned that it was an invoice of
coffee, just received from the importers
at New York. This firm buy direct of
first hands in New York, thus saving
several profits, the benefit of which they
give their customers. We judge their
sales must be immense from the size of
this pile of coffee, and Jet they tell US
this will last them but a few weeks. The
secret Of their large sale, is the low price
at which they sell and the goad quality
of their goods.

Decision of the United states Circuit
Court In the Case OF Steacy VS.. At
kins. Involving a Million or
More Dollars. for the
Defendant.

LITTLE Rock, April 17.-In the United
States circuit court to day was decided the
case of Steacy ct al Is Atkins ct al, involv-
ing million or more dollars. The decision
was averse to Steacy. The case grew out of
the construction of the Little Rock and Fort
Smith railway. The company contracted
with Warren Fisher, of Boston, to construct
the roa /. Fisher was to receive in payment
all the stock, bonds and lands, becoming viz
tually the owner. He sub contracted with
Pierce, Steacy d Yarton to do the work.
After they had expended large amount in
construction Fisher failed, and Steacy ct al.
sued the company and received judgment
for one million dollars. The company being
insolvent he sued Atkins and others for the
amount of stock held by them. The certi6-
Gates held by Atkins had been issued to
Fisher fully paid up, and were purchased
by the former in good faith as such. Steacy
claimed as Fisher had failed to build the
road under his contract the stock was in fact
unpaid. Judge Dllon's opinion declares the
defendant not liable and the bill dismissed.
The court also holds the counties not liable
on the facts. Steacy will appeal to the
United States supreme court.

An Alleged Rapist Hanged by "A Mob.
BALTIMORE, April 17.-When the train
which left Washington with James Carroll,
the negro accused of outraging Mrs Thomas,
at Licksville, Maryland, reached Washing
ton Junction to day, fifteen or twenty masked
men boarded 1t, and, after desperate strug-
gle, succeeded in overcoming the policemen.
The prisoner was dragged from the train and
a rope thrown over his head, and ne was then
pulled across a field to the nearest tree and
