take any Norfolk papers i'll his neigh
borhood, but he had Just little while
ago, bought the Day Book for cent. and
after reading the news, &c. he had read
my advertisement, which offered some
inducements foi articles that he was in
want Of Well, to make a long story
short, I sold our friend Sl18 worth of
my goods, and got cash for them, that
same day, and now stand ready for as
many more such customers as your little

NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH.-Twenty-
five workmen arrived here few days
ago from Brooklyn, New York, and are
now engaged in raising the scaffold pre-
paratory to plastering the Church. The
contract was given to Mr.. P Foley of
Brooklyn, and We told that after the plas-
tering is finished it will compare with
any in the Union. No more work will
be done to the steeple until next spring
Many ofour readers are not aware of the
enormous height this steeple will be after
it is completed; but they may form some
idea of its height when we inform them
that Mr.. James M. Tabb the contractor
for the wood work told us, that when it
is completed, it will be sixty-fve feet
higher than the Free Mason Street Bap-
fist Church steeple.

UNION CAR WORMS, PORTSMOUTH,
We paid this establishment visit yes
terday, and was very much pleased with
what we saw.
The main object of interest was the
first class passe niger car, intended for the
Norfolk & Petersburg Railroad, which is
now in the hands of the Painter-Mr
Theophilus Johnston--and will very s'nn
be completed. This Car is beyond ques-
ton, one of the handsomest we ever saw
and we have seen not few-and re-
fleets great credit upon the workmen en-
gagged on it, and is an honor to the estab-
lishment from which it emenates. 1t is
sixty feet in length and ten wide-beau-
tifully ornamented and containing every
convenience for the accommodation of
passengers. The floor is covered with
the finest Brussels, and the Ladies Sa-
loon is furnished with large and splen-
did mirror, marble shelf, water stand, &c.
The inside and outside painting are we'll
executed and highly polished; and the
car. taken as whole, is certainly gor-
geous affair, and is really worth visit to
see.
The worknsn employed at these
works have, also, second class passen-
ger car for the same Road underway, and
are busily' employed upon 1t.
