HARDAwAY q AsHER.-Being in
Vicksburg lew days since, We called upon
our former towns nan, Gus Asher, who
showed Us through the extensive drug es-
enlistment of which he is one of The pro-
prietors. We had intended writing up
the house. but finding the following in the
Herald, 50 convenient AM L. the point, We
appropriate it for the benefit of our readers
who may wish to purchase drugs, window
glass. etc, at wholesale:
The many large wholesale Dry Goods
and Grocery establishments of This city
must convince strangers that this city i a.
good a market to purchase in as any city
South, and country merchants VIII find II
t. their interest to buy their goods here.
One OF the features of this city Is the
wholesale Drug house of Hardaway x
Asher. We had the pleasure of being
shown through their establishment, and
were surprised TO find so large stock and
complete arrangements This always was
the leading drug house, in the state, and
these gentlemen have now made their con-
tracts with the largest manufacturers in
this country. 50 that they are enabled 10
sell goods ut New Orleans prices. The es-
adjustment CONSISTS of thres stories. The
lowest cellar is filed up 10 the ceiling
with al kinds of glassware. from the
smallest homeopathic vIals to the large>
bottles used, which the BUY direct from
the glass-works in Pittsburg. The upper
cellar Is stocked with PtiuJs, OIs Var
ui>hes and Window Glass. The Liquor

Leaving the TWO cellars. we were shown
through their store on Washington street,

Gals AMI Fancy Good department. There
we found cases OF Quiuiue, Morphine, OPP
um. aud a large assortment Of the leading
Chemicals from tie celebrated chemical
works OF Powers ~ Weighrmap, of Phila-
drIphia. Their shelves are filled with the
leading Pa;ent Me licineS, and their drug
are bought through brokers in New orA
from first hands, thereby saving the pr"ti
usually made by jobberS, ami enabling
them to sell drugs at the lowest markt

Dunn attempted to tear down an unoccu-
pied log house on the land of L. j. Mix adjoining
his own. Parties crossing Dunn's premises to
reach the house annoyed him. He aile to demolish
the building, and it arterward burned.
Some months later Dunn's wife accused him in
presence of Nathaniel Point of burning it. Dunn
was arrested and tried for arson in Summit County
Common Pleas. but discharged for want Of
evidence although his swore that Dunn sent
him home for matches on the day he tried to rear
down tine building. Dunn accused Whipple of in
stigating his and of aiding Mrs. Dunn in OBJ
tanning divorce from him. which she did in June
last alleging extreme cruelty. The decree gave her
possession of the farm, containing about eighty
of land and il adjoins Whipples she nursod
