SHORT DREssEs.-The OSUego Journal OF Sat
urdsy SAYS: Quite an excitement was produced
ut the steamboat landing, day before yesterday,
at the appearance Of couple Of ladies with the
short Turkish dress They were travelling IN

drabbling dresses which sweep the streets and
steps wherever ladies' move As matter OF per-
