friends here. To-day special was re-
ceivsd by the Courier of this city stat
ing that D. w. HoHkins, the murderer,
had committed suicide Immediately
after shooting the lady. Everyone was

SOCIAL EVENTS.

three weeks hardly a night has passed
without one party or ball being given,

three or four entertainments and thea

The liquidation ball, although one OF
the greatest social events OF the season,
brought down the wrath of one OF our
