General Artemas Ward was comma nder-in-chief of the New England army that whipped the British at Bunker Hill one hun dred and seven years ago-June 17, 1775. General Prescott was in immediate command, assisted by Putnam and Warren. In two hours the Americans gained . substantial victory. Of the 5000 British troops engaged in the fight, 1,054 were killed or wound ed--a fearful loss-aud if the am- intuition of the provincials had not failed, probably Gen. Cages army would have been completely wiped out. The American loss was 450, killed and wounded. The battle of Bunker Hill opened the eyes of the British Govern. ment to the fact that the c0lonists knew how to fight. Of this they were more thoroughly convinced as the war went on. The 107,h of this victory WAS celebrated in various parts of the United States last Saturday.

The Nevada papers think that State is upon the threshold of a great problem that will present itself for solution. This belief is based upon the general suppo- sition that the Comstock lode will no longer pay for workisg, and will bs abandoned. Then come the questions of the effect on the state, and what the people will do. The Reno Gazette puts the affair in its true light. It says that Nevada has lived the life of a drunkard for twenty years, and now that the stimu- lsnt is about to be withdrawn,

If the telegraphic repurt of the conduct of the Mexican Ganeral Reyes toward the rangers under Captain Ross, who had followed some Apache Indians across the frontier and into Mexico, be true, he has acted without authority, undoubtedly. Whether he acted in accordance with international law or not, he is certainly a dis grace to his profession, and, evil dently, has very me"ger ideas on the subject of international c0mi- ty. If the facts of the case be as reported, it is to be hoped that our government will insist upon the punishment of this feI- lOw.-L A. Herald.

Conducted ON Live, Progressive
Business Principles.


On the corner of Main and River
streets, the visitor to Russellville will
see handsome double, two-story house
which is occupied by j. l.. Sllinn, Esq,
the oldest merchant in the town. By
dint of close attention to business, econ
omy, industry, perseverance, and up
right dealing Mr.. Shinn has risen
from small beginning to the proud dis
junction of being one of the leading
merchants of Western Arkansas. He
has made it rule from the start to keep
none but the best class of goods suited
to tie market and demands of his trade,
and he still adheres thereto; and to-day
the extensive store rooms, with their
vast lines of counters and shelving, are
filled with as finely assorted stock as
could be found in many a larger place.
Next week, Mr.. Shinn will be in re-
eeipt of the finest line of ladies' dress
goods, notions, hosiery, trimmings, etc.,
ever brought to this market, while his
new stock of gents clothing, furnish
ing goods, hats, boots, Will be unsur-
passed and indispensable. This mag
nihcent stock was specially selected and
bought to accommodate the custom of the
''oldest house, and it is safe to assert
the people will show their appreciation
by examining the goods and prices be-
fore purchasing elsewhere. The line of
groceries and genene:al plantation sup
| plies carried by this house is very ex-
tensiye and complete, and is no small
feature of the establishment. A call at
this house within the next ten days or
two weeks will convince the most skep-
/ teal that this is no fancy sketch, but a
REALITY, and that Mr.. Shinn is deter
mined the people will not be compelled
TO send to the large cities for fine goods,
but they can buy such here. also the
staples. Mr.. Shinn means business this
season, and he will make it special
work to demonstrate to the people OF
this and adjoining counties that goods
can be purchased in Russellville as
cheap as mt any other place, freight al.
