 We regret to learn that Mt. J. T Busick of New Boston, Tex. was seriously wounded in the breast about ten days since. It seems that few words were passed be. tween him and a young 1tctor, when the latter stepphd out and got pistol and shot him. Mir Buswick is bothcr of Mrs. Alex Vaughn of this place who is now at her brothers side. MT. Vaughn has been down twice and reports MT. B. as improving.
 Tuesday afternoon obout 6 O. clock, Fate Hilson, colorcd, cut Milas Gammill in the neck and al 50 stabbed him In the side, while Mir. G. was putting Ma out of his saloon for using bad language. The cuts were not deep ones, the knife being very dull, and MT. Gammill was not seriously hurt. The would be murderer was promply jailed, and failing to give bond, will remain there till circuit court, when he will be tried for his serious crime. He should be made an example of, and the pen alty put to the extent of the law.
 Mir. Brad Scott and wife are still in New Orleans. Mir Scott has pur. chased, in person, for the firm ol WOodbery, Portis x Terry, which will arrive next week, several car loads Sugar, Coffee, Molases, Rice Confectioneries, and in fact every thing usually kept in a first class grocery store. Mir. Scott is known to be 0he of the closes, buyers in the country, and taking advantage of the recent decline ir groceries, it is reasonable to sup pose that this popular firm will b, prepared in a fcw days to offel their customers rare bargains il groceries.
