Dry Goods. The dry goods trade thronghont the country is at present ip a state of collapse. Almoat every tancy fabric in the market is offered at aprice much Jess than its cost. Some quite desirable goods are seld at a loss of from 25 to 50 percent. A few staple goods of both for- eignand domestic manufacture are wanted at a profit, but the instances are ‘yery rare Mer- chants and manuiacturers are pressing sales with an apparent determination te clear out all spring and summer stock as rapidly as pos— sible, and at the best prices possible. Jobbers are daily marking down their goods to meet the falling market. In ordinary times, they wonid make large purcbases at auction; but in the presert condition ot things low prices are no temptation whatever. They frighten buyers ratherthan tempt them. From the in- terior of the country, in all directions, trade is reported dull and stocks heavy. rown sheetings and shirtings have been dull allthe week. Prices are weak, except for a few standard makes, which for the mo- ment are steady. Bleached goods are sold only in very small lots. Prices are still tend- ing downward. No large transaction could be made exceptata considerable concession im price. Prints are wanted if the styles are right, butall others are neglected and lower. The market appears to be overstocked. Drills are inactive, both torexport and home con- sumption. Stripes and ticks are slowly tend- ing downward. Denims are weak and neg- lected. Printing cioths are not wanted either for the spring or fall trade. Cotton bags sell slowly, even at reduced prices. Corset jeans are in moderate demand tor immediate distri- bution. Ginghams sell slowly, but prices are pretty firm. Printed lawnsin best styles are new wanted in emall lots; others are a drug. Cloths are not yet wanted for the fall trade, and prices are nominal. Cassimeres of best summer styles are in very limited demand for city and best interior trade, while others can- not be sold at scarcely any price. Carpetsare steady 1m price and pretty active. Muslin de laines, flannels. and most other woolen fabrics are almostentirely neglected. The week closes dull, and merchants are now posting off their salesmen with samples in all directions, hoping to make sales in the interior, and thereby re- duce stock.—N. Y. Independen “A MURDER Every Day."—The N. ¥. -Sun” sounds an alarm over the introduction among us of the noiseless air-gun, which, ina murderer’s hand, is capable of doing 'ts work, in the dark, without detection,—as witness the recent murder by that means in Brookiyn The editor says “In this city and Brooklyn there is an aver- age of nearly one murder évery day, although every person who commits that crime must Know that the lawful penalty is almoct sure to follow. But what would be the conse- quence ifrobbery and revenge were assured that murder could be accomplished without danger of punishment to ine murderer! It seems proyidential that all the time and inge- Dhity which have been expended in attempts to produce weapons for that purpose, have failed _to discover a safe instrument of mur- der. Weapons haye been made which ap- proaches this object, bat none has been suc. cessful. The sand-bludgeon, which, some yeurs ago wAs so extensively used for murder- ous purposes in Europe, and to some extent in this country, is a yery dangerons weapon, A blow upon the head with this instrument pro- duces ajmost instant death, and yet no contu- sion or other external marks of violence is seen. The air-gun, although not invented tor the use of the assassin, is also a fearfal wea- pon, as the recent murder in Brooxlyn, by such agency. clearly proves. If this inven- tion was brought to perfection, so as to di charges bullet without any report, the con: quence would be alarming. Fortunately it is not perfect. Although it emits comparatively little sound when bemmg discharged, that little is sufficient to gnard against its extensive use. Hundreds of contrivances have been made for the purpose of taking life and bafiling detec- ion, and probably efforts to that end are still made.” ALEXANDRIA 1TEMS.—The Ga day says Yesterday evening, Mr. W. J. Entwisle, of the firm of J. W.J. Entwisle, went down into the cellar of their store, on King street, in company witha colored man, for the purpose of getting ont a box, when, stepping upon the boards that covered a well, they gave way, and Mr. E. was precipitated o the well Fortunately, he alighted upon «a beam, a fe w feet from the surface of ihe ground, and wag soon rescued by means of a rope letdown to him. the colored man giving the alarm The beneficial effects of the opening of the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Rail- road to Leesburg are already felt. Large quantities of grain and other commodities from thatrich section of country are beginning to pour into our market, and the receipts by the road show & daily increase. Mr. Johr Moore, a Justiceof the Peace of this county, yesterday presented 1o the Coun- ty Court a petition to General Schotield, praying that officer to appoint four additional county constables for this ceunty, alleging that the present force is insufficient and inet- tective. The receipts of flour at this place are stead- ily increasing, and begin again to compare with the receipts of former days, when Alex. andria was a considerable flour market, A CURIOUS SNAKE CAs A physician re. siding at Greenfield, Obio, writes a lows to the Cincinnati Gazette:—‘A few days since Iwas called into see a young man by the name of James ©. Santee, who is clerking for Heraingsfield & Bro., clothing merchants of tpat place. He has been suffering for some Ume past with a severe pain in the region of the stomach, want of appetite, dimness of vision and giddiness. After examining him I administered a brisk purgative, and in a short time he passed a living snake, seventeen anda half inches in length and about three-fourths ofen inch in diameter at the largest part of the dy. He saysin June, 1564, he remembers, while drinking from a brook, he swallowed something unusual, but paid no attention to it atthe time. Since then he has been more or less troubled with it.

The boat is about thirty feet long, and weighs forty pounds. It is mugh ligbter than wood, and so far as the applica- tion of this material to the construction of shell-boats is concerned it would seem to jus- tify the prediction that paper will entirely take the place of wood in future.

Dr Baird said be had no objection to the de- fence proceeding to examime their witnesses, providing 'bey would allow the prosecution te bring in their evidence referred to, when prepared. Mr. Taylor thought the shortest way was for the prosecution to say they had tound evyi- dence which would justity them in abundon- ing the case. Their best plan was to enter a nolis prosequi.

In tei my wife was taken sick and expecied to die, and sent for this lawyer to make her will, knowing him to be a friend of mine. While she was in bed be came and listed her up, and kissed ber. All this time he expressed a world of friendship forme and fympaiby forher. After her recovery he came again, One evening he came under the guise of business, when the family with whom she boarded (relatives of hers) were absent; when he starred to leave, she started to the doer to bid him good night: he threw hisarms around her, and endeavored, by A mesns in his power, to have criminal intercourse with her; she remonstrating, and praying him to de- sist, which he finally did, but not until after shamefully insulting and exposing her: she was still weak from the result of her sickness; he then wert away, and she sank to the floor with shame and exhaustion, fearing to make any alarm, as he had been there so trequently before, and false opinion might be formed. Sbe was feartul also of the consequenees if 1 should know it. He afterward called again, and expressed so much sorrow for his conduct. that she did not make any exposure. After that he continued to call, and endeavored by all means in bis power to seduce her, and even made a similar forcible effortagain. She, oppressed with a feeling of shame and guilt tor having permitted him to kiss her, and for not having exposed the former interview, did not dare to make an exposure. This was re- peated a number of limes, she resisting and preventing the full accomplishment of his pur- poses,and he making efforts at all times to overcome her by exciting her passions. At last, upon threats of exposure to me, he desisted for atime. After my return from the army I nad eccasion to visit Washington about four Months since, and while l was absent he went to my honse and solicited my wife again, beseeching her tkat she would submit fally. To this she made an indignant refusal, but was still not relieved of his importunities, he taking every, opportunity to annoy her, but he never tully accomplished his purpose. All this time I, as a husband, felt that there was something wrong in regard to my wife, because she seldom smiled, and seemed broken-hearted during all these three years. Only a week ago last Monday he met me in the street and asked me when I was going away again, which he had done at previous times, and therefore 1 noticed it. His guilty manner awoke the first suspicion in my mind as to my wife’s virtue. Upon that, after my return to New York, { wrote to a friend askinn him if be had ever seen any improprieties between Mr. Hiscock and my wife.
