advertisements.
Houses, too, are advertised for rent. From
the large number of them the seekers can
make desirable selections. And if people do
not want to rent just now, they can purchase
eligible sites for dwelling houses, and consult

mention that Calf Brother advertise beau

tea sets, Offering them, as they say, (and they
are truthful well enterprising manufac-
turers,) at low prices. They also have many
pretty wedding presents.

do, briefly invite attention to the columns of
the Star, where our readers, of all classes and
conditions, will find something to interest them

tensely panied when they reflect upon the
cause which has deprived them Of cherished
relatives and friends, and lost to those cities
