A short time since we chronicled the fact
that a new wholesale dry goods house was be-
ing opened in this city, under the above name
and style From what we have since learn
ed IN relation to the gentlemen composing this
firm, it is evident that company combining
superior facilities or elements of success, would
be difficult to find. The Messrs. Bransford are
from Louisville, KY, where long and profit
able experience has taught them thoroughly
the cart of merchandising" Aessrs. McWhir-
ter and Saufey have been long and favorably
known in this city IS possessing business tact
and talents of a superior order. The former
is an experienced buyer and effects most Of the
purchases for the new house, and with the lat
ter, is au excellent salesman. OF Mr.. Kiunsrd
we know nothing personally, but are Informed
that he is one of the most efficient men 10 the
frn.
Already the goods for the fall trade have
begun 70 arrive. A hasty glance even at those
now being opened shows that they have been
selected with care and Judgment. In quality,
quantity, aud variety, the new house, it seems,
intend to be surpassed by none. Besides q
vast and varied assortment of staple goods, our
friends of this firm have gone extensively into
the fancy goods line, and expect TO successfully
compete with the other large cities not far
removed from the great importing empOriums

This addition to the wholesale business

wish this new house a full measure of success,
aud have no doubt that il will succeed beyond
the expectations of the members of the firm.
FATAL CAsUAuTY.-We regret SO learn that
a little son of Mr.. Spain, residing, we believe,
in Edgefeld, was fatally injured yesterday
morning by the kick of horse.
LEVERS LAsT.-The fertile brain Of this cele-
DRAFTED Irish author has again been taxed for
the amusement of the reading public. His
Fast production "The Martins of Gro Martini"
from the press of Harper & Bros, will I'M
doubtedly become as popular as his many pre-
vious publications. 1t is well written story
of Irish social life, Of what should be, rather
than what it is,-while it partially touches the
political phase of that oppressed, but merry !
land. No one tires of reading Charles Levers |
writings. For sale by W. T. Berry & Co.
A PAIR OF SHoEs.-And such pair, reader, |
we reckon you never sawl They may be seen |
at the store of Robertson & Dasbiell, on Col |
lege street. 1t must have taken the hides of |
drove of cattle TO have furnished all the leath |
er consumed in their manufacture We know /
of nothing they will fit unless it be the foot
