Why TUCKER CAN SELL WATCHES
AND JEW ELRY CHEAPER


Why TUCKER CAN SELL WATCHES
AND JEWELRY CHEAPER
THANANY OTHER HOUSE,
IN THE CITY:
1st. have leased the whole building
that occupy, and the rents | receive for
the parts leased out reduce my rent TO ii
very small sum.
Cd. have no partner to divide profits
with, and am therefore enabled 10 sell
cheaper than if had.
Sd. attend to my own sales, in con-
sequence of which have no clerk to pay,
and this is handsome saving per month.
4th. have not the expenses to pay of
man in Europe to select my goods, but
receive them through orders from one of
the largest importers in New York; and
the proof that | get them right is that |
am able to sell cheaper than any other
house in the trade in the city.
most respectfully invite the pnblie to
call and Judge for themselves.

will just say to my patrons for their
especial benefit, some of whom have been
frequently decoyed by the near limitations
of tables, chairs Sc, Gas well as my system
of tickets, by house in close proximity
to the Fountain Head, (and been so often
taken in, } that with little more attention
they can avoid the like occurrence for the
future, by just noticing the numbers on
the candy windows, Al, 40, and Is and 80,
on the doors.
The FOUNTAIN HEAD was first estab-
lished on Jackson street, and destroyed
by fire in September 1850, reopened in
CLAW street, the same month, then again
consumed by the same devastating eie-
ment on the memorable 4th OF May, 1851, {,
and was again opened where it now
stands, in June following, and was the first
public refreshment saloon ever started
upon the coast of the Pacific, without in
toxicating liquors, not even glass ofbeer
has ever been sold upon the premises,
neither shall be. My friends advised me
to introduce the sale Of liquors into my
business, as they thought it would add
much to my profits; my reply was, have
hands to labor and produce what will sus-
tain life, but not to deal ont that which
will destroy it. The Fountain Head, AS
usual, is open from s O'Clock in the morn
ing, till 10 O'Clock at night; 80 that gen.
tlemen who are unable to obtain seats at
regular meal hours, may get refreshments
between times, when the crowd is not so
great. dec 4tf VI. l.. WlNN.

MATTERS IN WAsHINGToa. We do not
see by the reports from Washington ve'y
distinct signs of the war that was anticipat-
ed before the assembage of Congress, and
the probability now is that the Democratic
party will be once more united BY Mr.. Cal
houn's cohesive principle" and thus, by
free distribution of the spoils, manage, for
a few months longer, to give evidence OF
unanimity of feeling and action. No busI-
hess of Importance will be transacted in
Congress before the first of June, and the
interval will be filled up by "buncomb"
speeches and champagne supPers, which'Oy
the way. is the height ofa great many men,
ber's ambition.
The New York Hards left the caucus
which nominated the speaker after the Com
promise resolutions first introduced were
tabled. tits understood that all of them
but one were pledged to Mr.. Disney, and il
they had remained Mr.. Disney would in all
probability been elected.
AS we stated on Friday, Dr.. Olds had
given up all hopes of an election and with
drew his name. He still has an eye, how
ever, on the Senate, and may be expected
10 make desperate struggle to defeat bis
old enemy, Sam Medary, who it will be re-
membered PrdGouuced him dead for "want
of honest prnciple5."

Who is JOHN w. FoRNEK!-He is the
Clerk of the House of Representatives just
reelected by the Locofoco party.
A feature in the history of this man, who
has received the confidence of this Admin :
istraton, may be interesting.
The famous Forrest Trial isremembefed
by our readers, in which Mrs. FORREST f.
hally procured divorce from her husband
the well-known Actor.
In 1850 FoRREsT was searching out evil
dence to prove his wife guilty of inidelity'
and knowing his man, applied for aid to tn is
miserable FoRNEY, who soon laid plan to
accomplish the desired object.
FoRNEY wrote letter to GEO. ROBERTS,
an editor in New Orleans, stating that FOR
REST was about to apply to the Legislature
for Divorce, and the fact that FORREST
was willing to speud half his fortune
which is immense--if he could be relieved
from the bonds of matrmony, and asking
RoBERTs to procure such an admission from
a certain well-known play ActOr--who had
been guilty of writing the foolish 'Consuelo'
note to Mrs. FoRREsT-or to prove "inti-
mate relations TO have existed between the
author OF this note and Mrs F.
The way in which this admission was to
be procured, is easily detected from the tol-
lowing extract from FoRNEy's letter.
What Forrest now desires to clinch tt
nail, is, to obtain, in some way, an admis-
sion from -. | named you to him as
safe, steady, and intelligent friend, and ne
never win forget whatever you may do ior
him in this, to him, most vital matter:
He suggests that you might institute intimate
relations toik j., and then induce him, ether an
gour presence or in company, TO admit as
thing TO beproad Of, his connection 'olh MrS
+. lie is fond of a glass and possibly ."
conuiuidl mood, might be communicative.
The last clause contains the pith OF this
matter, and is but another way OF saying
that if the supposed witness could be "made
drunk" the needed admission would be
spoken.
The above bit of history will explain the
otherwise unimportant announcement made
by telegraph from Washington yesterday
to-wit:
Mr.. Edwin Forrest arrived to-day,to shar'
in the triumph OF his friend Forney, wht
lent him such effective assistance in his di
vorce trial.
The New York Express says:
The re-nominat ion Of Mr.. Forney vii
surprise some people, after his famous For
rest letter has been made SO well known
but the fair presumption is, that they VIII
voted for him approve that letter, and woul
have resorted to just such tricks in order t.
destroy female character.

WoLvEs.--The Wolves Of Maine seem to
be numerous and remarkably fierce, the pre-
sent season. A correspondent of the Ma
chias Union says that the accommodation
stage and passengers from Rockland were
few days since driven back from the
woods near Indian river and detained over
night by large detachment Of wolves-
The Brunswick Telegraph relates that on
Friday last Col. Campbell of that town was
chased by pack Of wolves while in the
woods not half mile from his house. Four
Of them came within twenty feet of him,
whereupon he turned at bay armed with an
axe; and his adversaries, after some recon-
noitering and few low growls Of dsapPro-
baton, concluded to forego their anticipat-
cd breakfast and beat reluctant retfebt.

LATER FROM TAxAs- We have Calves

We learn that the health Of Indianola and
Lavuca is completely restored. The streets
of Lavaca are thronged with wagons--Cot-
ton is coming in rapidly, aud merchandise is
quickly going out. At Indiabola business
has revived, and now presents its usual ami
nation, corresponding to the season. Gen.
Houston made speech in Austin on the
