ITO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS
l. Having made our purchases for spring upor
more favorable terms than anticipated, it gives Il,
pleasure to announce to the trade that we arc
now receiving q stock of Boots, Shoes, Leather
and findings unsurpassed in extent or quality by
any of our previous purchases, and which we beg
leave TO exhibit to our customers at their earliest
convenience. We have made q change in oul
firm recently, by which all connected with oul
establishment are partners, and, therefore, more
particularly interested ia its prosperity. We will
be governed by the same principles which char
a~cterized the business of the late firm and which
proved so acceptable to their patrons. Strict ad-
herence to one price, small profits and upright
fair dealing, or none. We will offer no " bait v
TO get new trade or retain what we have, but will
sell more goods for less money, lin the course of q
year, and give better satisfaction than any house
that practices upon the JOCKEY system, or makes
high sounding promises to sell goods at five per
cent less than every body. We continue to man
ufacture a large portion Of the work we offer
which We will warrant equal to any in quality
and will furnish extra sizes to order.
Eastern work is made expressly for as and will
oe warranted to purchasers.
The ~extentof our business and our facilities fol
obtaining goods from first hands, warrant usir
repeating that we can sell goods in our line upon
equal terms with any Jobbing House, EAST Of
WEST, and that We fear no regular competition
from any quarter. We respectfully invite an ex-
animation of our stock and prices, assuring all Of
our determination to sell (not the first or SECOND
bill only, } but always at the lowest possible prices
consistent with q living profit, and warrant oul
goods as we represent them.
We tender our hearty thanks to the patrons o.
the late firm for the courtesies and kindness re.
ceiyed at their hands, and trust by strict attention
to business and unremitting efforts to please, the
new firm will merit and receive q continuance o.
their fayors. ap24tf

BUYING AND SELLING CoAL.-ln
the city of London coal is sent to con.
sumers in sacks containing two hun.
bred lbs each. These are loaded on
large carts, drawn by enormous hor-
ses, with scales to each cart, and if de.
sired by the purchaser the sack is
weighed by the driver. When the
honesty of the coal merchant and the
integrity Of the driver is well estab.
lished, the weighing Of the sack is sell
dom required. And in the purchase
of a cart load of sacks, some three or
four of them are taken promiscuously

Geographic dispatches in yesterdays paper,
mentioned the appointment Of a select COM
mittee to investigate certain charges of cor
ruption. The disclosures were made in the
following manner. Mr.. Kelsey Of New York,
made question Of privilege, and read letter
to the New York Times from Washington,
charging members of Congress and lobby
agents with gross corruption, generally, and
particularly in relation to the Minnesota Land
Bill,-saying that evidence could be produced
to carry conviction to every mind, that the
criminals should be driven from the high
places which they dishonored. Mr. Kelsey
concluded by offering the following preamble
and resolution.
Whereas certain statements have been pub
lished, charging members of the House with
entering into a corrupt combination for the
purpose Of passing and preventing the pas
sage of certain measures now before Congress;
therefore.
Res0lUed, That committee Of five members
be appointed by the Speaker, with power to
send for persons and papers to investigate
said charges and that the committee report
the evidence to be taken, and what action, in
their Judgment, Is necessary on the part OF
the House, without unnecessary delay.

INDEPENDENT.-While most OF the larger
cities Of the West are suffering great inconve-
nience and want, for many Of the essential
necessaries of life-in consequence of cold
weather and frozen rivers-the ''Pocket City,
is rejoicing in an abundance of everything
except business--the latter article bcinga lit

wood those very genial and convenient gener-
ators ofcaloric, are abundant and cheap The
former at from to 10 cents per bushcl, and
the latter at from two to three dollars per
cord. We have ice enough in the river fer all
practical purposes, besides a large supply pack

corn and -four enough on our wharf to feed
five times our population through half dozen
Arctic winters. The luxuries of life. com
monty so-called-such as some people use to
hurry themselves through life with, are also
plenty and have been in good request during
the holiday season-but yet the doctors COM

of our less favored neighbors can share with US
at only the advance Of cost and carriage, can

the more sensible course ofpacking up their
traps and emigrating to this point immediate
ly-and taking up their abode in this land oil

The Children taken from the Nunnery.


Mr.. Crawford the father of the children
taken from the Nunnery at Vincennes,
makes the following statement Of the
case under oath: That in May, 1856, he re-
turned to Cleveland, Ohio after temporary
absence on business, for the purpose of re-
moving his family to Logansport Indiana,
where ne intended to locate. and found that
his wife in his absence had become an
abandoned character and was then living IN
upon adulltTy, with drunken doctor OF that
city. My wife at that time delivered to me
my three children, in the presence of 4 num-
Der of persons half naked, and told lie take
them and keep them as she did no. in
tend to live with any more and that she
did not want TO have any thing to do with
the children, | received The three children
and on the 18th of une following | placed
them in the Orphan Asylum in this place, un
der the care ofthe TT Rev. Bishop ST. Paais,
and requested him not to let any stranger
have access to them, as feared ny wife might
change her mind and wish to get possession Of
them again. My wife continued to live with
the doctor above alluded to, until the middle
of December last, when she left hun aud came
to L0gansport where l now reside | prompt
" advised Bishop St. palais Of the fact and
charged him that if She presented herself at
the Asylum, not to let her see the children OF
! have any intercourse with them, and to use
all h means in his power to prevent II rom
getting possession of them, which feared she
desired. All that has been done in the
premises by the Bishop, meets with my cor
dial and hearty appreciation, and l am only
sorry that | have been the ne ans of causing
/ him 50 much trouble.

Iz- Gov Clark the late Republican Gov
ernor of New York, became very tender heart
ed Just on the eve Of his term of office, and
exercised the pardoning power by wholesale.
The police editor of the New York Tribune,
says: 1--WE had expected to be able to say.
that no one act Of Gov, Clark ever became his
official life half so much as his leaving it.
That consolation has been denied us. Almost
the last act Of his life, as Governor Of the
State, was to set tree nineteen convicts to help
Us make merry during the no l.day season.
Nineteen of his friends, duly convicted OF
manslaughter, rape burglary, forgery, robbie
nv, and almost every other crime on the cal
ender are released at a time Of year when
labor is at q discount, ana when the tcmpta-
ton to plumber is unusually strong-aII of
whom, upon an average had not served out
more than one fourth Of their time The
editor cautions the Governor to keep close
watch over his store, lest some of his Sing
Sing friends may venforget the motto Of the
craft. honor among thieves"
The Tribune was an ardent advocate Of
Gov Clark 5 election, but soon found out that
he was IA weak concern" and dropped him in
the hour of direst need. The Governor evil
