Importations Of manufactured tobacco are
growing less and less with US every year. Our
city manufacturers, with the advantages of the
excellent leaf raised in the State, are able to
compete with the celebrated Virginia brands,
or any other, both as regards quality and price.
We have heretofore noticed several houses en-
gagged in this business, and to the list will now
| add that of D. KIRKHAM s. BROTHERS, corner
of Elm and Commercial streets. These enter
prising young gentlemen are worthy the atten-
| ton Of the pnbic. Their brands are manufac-
tured from the best material in the market
We were particularly pleased with the g Know

teemed by connoisseurs as remarkably fine.
l MISUNDERSTANDING THE LoDGERs.-A
welldressed, young appearing lady, accompan-
| led by small child, arrived at the Union Depot
by the Hudson Railroad train on Tuesday about
noon, and made inquiries for the Mansion House,
where she said her husband was to meet her.

sion House. She had not been long there when,
on the arrival of another train from Albany,
she was joined by the Is husband and the two
n were glad to meet each other, as husband and

Selves at proper time in the evening they retired
On the arrival of the 10t o'clock, P. M train
two gentlemen alighted from the cars, and, as
luck would have it, one of them approached the
same porter who at noon had kindly directed
; the lady to the Mansion House, and inquired it,
during the day, he had seen lady about so tall,
| and dressed SO and SO, and having in her arms
small child--if he had seen lady Of that
description on any of the trains during the day.
The porter remembered at once the story of the
. lady who expected to meet her husband at the
J Mansion House, and recalling her size, dress,
| etc, he told the inquiring gentleman that he
bad seen such lady as he described, and that
he would find his wife at the Mansion House.
, In this "Jack'' told the truth, as the sequel

Proceeding to the Mansion House, the two
gentlemen made known their business to the
gentlemanly proprietors. The story was one Of
domestic unhappines, fruitless efforts Of friends

husband by the wife, and now of conjugal inf
