with great care and fixed determination TO
please the people with the best of goods and la
test styles and lowest prices We are bound to
sell, and can afford TO for cash or ready paw,
much lower than goods have heretofore been
bought in Lancaster.
We are well aware that trade in this place has
formerly been conducted under serious impede
ments, viz; the want of such goods as are called
for, especially by farmers, and many who find it
most convenient to trade in Lancaster, after ask
ing in vain again and again for such articles as
they need, have been induced, or rather compel
ed to go to adjoining town for their goods and this
we do know, we can afford TO sell as cheap as our
neighbors at Snake or Beetown We are well
aware if we do this, we can increase Our own
business and accommodate others, and if we do
not, we cannot expect liberal share Of public
patronage. Will you Gomez

10 The Cincinnati Commercial relates

20 The Cincinnati Commercial relates
a romantic yarn as having occurred in that
region lately. The wife of young man
living within about eight miles of Madison,
Indiana, had for some time suspected him
of infdelty with a young lady, a member of
reputable family in the neighborhood.
Lately the young lady disappeared, and on
the day following the husband also disap-
peared. Suspecting the truth, the deserted
wife assumed male disguise, got wind of the
runaways at Madison, and came to Cincin-
natl il pursuit of them. The result is not
known. - as

The inquiry into the state of the national

ter,n;nation to double her artillery force,

co,onrisine large portion of the popuia-

France is more tranquil; but spirited and
angry discussions continue IN the Chamber
of Deputies, on the exciting topics which
now agitate the French nation.
The overland mail received before the
departure of the Britannia, brought salts
factory intelligence relative to the disturban-
ces in India.
No additional failures of consequence had
taken place.
In England, there were slight indications
of Improvement manifested towards the
close of the preceding month; and, up to
the time the Britannia sailed, this view was
remarkably confirmed. Trade has taken
an earnest step towards the recovery of its
long lost strength, and the re-establishment
of confidence among capitalists and in COM
mercial circles. The money market con-
tinues to improve. Messrs. j. Evans. Sons
& Co., of Liverpool, connected largely in
the iron trade, have suspended, liabilities
