AChoice srock of Goods

Our friends, A. J. Duncan & Co., determined TO
give the trade the advantage of everything to
be found in the Eastern markets, have availed them
selves Of the latest home manufactures and foreign
importations to keep up their assortment. They
have recently made large accessons to their stock,
and are daily receiving " something nice in the
way of late and improved styles of ladies' dress
goods, appropriate to the later summer and early
fall months, besides goods Of other descriptions.
The new styles of silks muslin robes, &c, are very
handsome. Retail dealers whose stocks need re-.
plenshing, should make haste to get a share of
these goods, which are in much demand aud going
off rapidly. Duucan's energy and industry have
seldom been put to better advantage than in his
recent trip East all will say who see what he has
done for his house while absent.

We are panied to record the decease of this truly
estimabe gentleman, which occurred at his resi-
dence in this city, on yesterday morning, at halls
past O'clock Prot PORTER had not been i'll for
many days, and the intelligence of his death was
received by many with equal surprise and regret.
he was possessed ola robust constitution, and SEEM
ed but few days since, be passed our streets in
the daily round of his professional duties destined
10 long and useful life. But he attacked about
twelve days since with bilious fever, which pro-
crossed steadily and rapidly to fatal termination,
in defiance of skillul treatment, and the assduou5
attentions of large and devoted circle of friends.
HE apparently secure lease on life has been unex.
pectedly dissolved, and his removal has left void
in the community and in his profession which will
be painfully felt.
DR.. PORTER was quiet, unassuming, unobtru.
sive gentleman. His intercourse with the world
was marked by gentle amenity Of department
which won him warm friends in every circle to
which extensive medical practice called him. He
enthusiastically attached to his profession, and
his whole time was engrossed ia rendering himself
proficient in the important branch to which he
particularly devoted, and in obeying the calls of
general practice Since the establishment of the
Medical Department of our University, ''Dr. P has
filled with credit the chair of Anatomy in the
school, and that institution has Suffered in his
death, great loss The announcement of his death
will be received with general sorrow by the many
who have attended his lectures, and learned to ad
mire him in the social circle.
We presume his remains will be buried to day
