N Goods than they have heretofore brought
to this Market. They were selected with
much care and for style and quality are not
to be beat in ''Tnnicum.' They would say
to one and all upon "the honor of a merchant"
1--WE mean our honor and not our nelghbors)
that our stock throughout will average lower
than any which has been sold al any time
mot even excepting any time during the
reign of the Persian king.) Eighteen months
experience has convinced ourselves and we
trust it has others that small profits and rea-
dy pay is thetrue policy, for by applying the
common rules of Arithmetic you will find
that in the short space of year and half
not less than FIFTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS has been saved by those who
purchase Goods in this place. An enormous
Tax, which amount, if the people were COM
PEELED to pay in any other way would pro-
duce revolution in Portage County that
would require more volunteers to quell than
to conquer the whole of Mexico. We take
this opportunity of making "Iou bo,0'' and
thanking the community at large for their
liberal patronage thus far. And if you will
favor US with call we will spare no pains to
plan and let you go away with large, sa>
mount of Goods for small amount of money.
We shall purchase Wool aud most kinds Of
Produce at the highest market price for which
we shall pay cash and Goods.

THIS MAMMOTH MENAGERrE Of all that is

"HIS MAMMOTH MENAGERIE Of all that is
L Beautiful and Wild in animated nature,
Is more extensive than any ever collected on

nearly EVERY EXISTING MEMBER of the brute

: The WILD TENANTS OF THE FOREST, from
the huge and docile elephant, the majestic
lion of unexplored Africa, the fierce tiger of
the Bengal jungles, the beautiful leopard, the
playful but ferocious bear, the gentle gazelle,
the useful and patient camel, the curlously
striped zebra, the grave robbing hyeha, the
stealthy panther, the savage wolf, the Gun"
ming fox, down through all the lesser grades
are here beheld with safety, true to their ma
ture at times, but perfectly subject to the
control of man, THE LORD OF CREATION.
Fowls OF THE AIR and REPTILES, the most
beautiful, rare, varied and dangerous of their
species are also comprised in this valuable
combination; description is powerless and
space too limited to admit it. Suffice it to
say that the preprietors are of the Oldest
standing and highest celebrity, and devoted
years of toll and expense to the present coll
lection which is pronounced in Europe and
America, perfectly unparalleled.
RAYMOND g. WARING would state that at
tremendous expense they have retained the
services Of the celebrated, brave and powerful
HERR DRIESBACH, who is n native of
Germany, and stands at the head of all tam
ers of wild beasts. He has been styled by
critics the LION TAMER! as he has exposed
his life before this, In tanning the largest and
most terrible lion ever caught. This lion is
at present in possession of Raymond and
Waring, and has repeatedly saved the life Of
the intrepid Drisbach when exercising til
gers, leopards and other beasts In the per-
forming CAGE!
DRIEsBAcH is the wonder of the world as
q controller of beasts, his PET TIGERS feats,
together with those ofthe Lions and Leop-
ards, have been beheld by millions. Dries
bach actually Drives Lions Harnessed to his
Gar, thus showing the supreme divinity of
man above the natures of the brules!
The moral and useful purposes which an
exhibition like this can serve, are perceived
by all, and acknowledged by all moralists and
thinking minds; the exhibition serves to En-
tertain and Instruct all in the wondrous works
of the Supreme Being, and is particularly i'm,
pressive on the mind of youth. The whole
menagerie is entirely unexceptionable.

able Geological Caravan will enter town on

GA young man who had just returned
from college, and who possessed more vi
ridity than brains, called at the house of a.
neighbor one evening to pay visit to his
dulcina. While setting and conversing
with her, in such language that none but
he who has attended one of those high
institutions Of learning could use, the
candle became quite dim, when the student
requested her to hand him the snuffers, in
the following language:
"Most charming beautiful and accom-.
plished lady, in the undeserved and unmer.
tied condescension of your infinite goodness,
will you be SO kind and condescending as to
extend to your most obsequious, devoted
and very humble servant that pair of fignip.
otent digits exasperate excrescence Of the
noctrul cylindrical luminary, that by the
refalgent of its resplendent brilliancy it
may dazzle visions of our octular optics
more potently."
After the sentence was finished, the
lady swooned and the student sloped.

FROZEN CHIMES ADIEU.


I'll 20, We sunless hills, without sigh;
MY floating bark shall hail beaming SUM-
I'll take my home beneath a mildor SKY
Nor care 10 think where first my race begun
Above my quiet bones, when life is done,
The dawey mould shall weave carpet green; s
Around me SILVER streams shall ceasless run;
My resting place shall be a LOVELY scene.
When Times expiring throe engulPhs this globe
terrene.
The works Of man must perish: but thy shore
Is everlasting; on its bosom leap
The rock rent surges, and the mighty roar
Oftempests mingles with the broken deep.
Iknow the storms that nightly Ger rue sweep,
Are but the rustic of thy giant wings;
And with the frost that chills to wakeless sleep,
Win live among the few eternal things
That shall not share tho fate that dissolution
brings. fr
Farewell forever, then; the dreary crest
Of thy dark hills on man has never smiled;
Nor has the ruling whirlwind ever blest
Lone wanderers of thy forsaken wild.
And thou eanst not with tempest nurse thy child
For he of late, has gone estrangod from thee;
And, o, ye cliffs. that ages long have piled
Above the bosom of the wrecking sea,
Your sun, ,defying domes, ye are no homo for me
