Reader. do Jon wish q suit of clothes which

style? Go to T. H. CLExo's Merchant Tailor's
establishment, next door south of MessFs. w. T..
c. s. Duncan's dry goods and grocery store.
near the post Office, and leave your measure. or
make a selection from bis large stock Of ready
made goods. Mr. CLEMo has just received .
very large stock of cloths, cassimeres, satins,
linens. and other summer goods, and has several
OF tie best werkmen in the country constantly
engaged in making them up. He has now entire
charge of the cutting department. With ten
years experience in an extensive establishment.
be seems peculiarly qualified for that branch Of
his business.
Mr. {. is nov engaged in manufacturing clothes
fo- summer Eear. having just received from New
York the latest spring fashions. His summer
coats, specimens of which he was showing US q
few days age, will be all the rage soon. His
satin vests, in quality of material or finish
in making. cannot be excclled in New York
Heretofore, our people wanting a fine suit Of
clothes have felt that they could not suit them
selves short of St. Louis. Now, instead Of Sc
iecting from that market, they can select the
cloths, and have them made to it, and that with
out waiting several weeks after leaving order,
has been too much the case in the past in other
establishments, owing to the want of sufficient
number of workmen to dispatch ordeSs. Or, if
they choose, they can select from a very large
stock already on hand,

INGLE BARKER, at the Hardware Empo-
rum, sign of the Big Tea Kettle. has been
adding to his former extensive stock OF
wares, and has now, probably, one OF the
most extensive wholesale and retail estab-
lishments in all this region. To enumer-
ate even the leading items would fill more
space than we can devote to the subject
this week. His stock of agricultural instru-
ments, particularly his plows, harrows and
cultivators, are in great demand at this
time. He has recently added heavy
stock of pine lumber, doors, sash, plate
glass of all sizes, and a general variety of
glass ware for table use.
We had purposed writing a notice at
length, of this establishment, this week.
but being compelled to leave the Office for
a couple of days, we must delay it until
another week, when we shall again visit
the establishment, and extend the notice.
In the mean time, let every body go there
to purchase their hardware.

This company have given two or three
delightful concerts in this city this week.
The first was on Tuesday evening. II
embraced some choice collections of mu-
sic, such as " The Sword of Bunker Hill, .
" Come where my love lies dreaming "a
1.-The Blind Boy" &c, Mrs. Durant has
sweet alto voice, and we were much
pleased with Mr.. Hayward-particularly
in his execution of pathetic pieces. He
seems to throw his whole soul into the
sentiment, and every feature expresses
emotion. Mr.. Durant is the best humor-
istwe have ever seen. We advise all
who have the dyspepsia to go and hear
him. He has a fund of genial humor
and bright sayings that seem fresh and
new. The Veriest misanthrope would
have to laugh in spite of himself. His
face speaks volum es at times, when he ap-
pears to have lost the use of language en-
tirely.
The company, with eommendable lber-
ality, gavea concert Wednesday night for
the benefit of the sufferers by the late out
break in the Southern part of the Terrific
~. One of the wounded men was pres
ent on Tuesday evening, and gave brief
account of the affair, and the object of the
second concert, and although the second
piece had been announced to the audi
ence, they changed the order, and sung
the Marseilles Hymn in inimitable style
and with great enthusiasm. It's effect was
electrical, and the audience gave most
rapturous applause. Their ballads are
full of home sentiments and win a res
ponse from every lover Of the beautiful,
The humorous pieces were all sung with
effect, and we think Mr.. Durant's Wilkins
and his Diraab would bring down any
house. We hope all who have an oppor-
tunity, will go and hear them.

" Secretary STANTON passed through
this city on Saturday last on his way to
bis family and home, two miles this side
OfLecompton. He was in excellent health
and spirits, and was welcomed back to the
Territory by many of our citizens who
heard of his arrival, and fastened to greet
him and exchange kindly salutations. Mr..
! 5. has pursued course in our Kansas
politics which has won for him the esteem
Ofall linen. He came here from the South,
considerably prejudiced against our peo-
pie but the bold and glazing frauds, and
the crimes of the extremists of the pro-
slavery party awakened him to true state
Of facts. From that time all his energies
were directed to the redress of those
wrongs, aud, with commendable zeal, he
labored IN that behalf. He opposed the
Lecompton Constitution because it was
achild of fraud. He opposes it still for
the same reason, and will record his vote
against it, as also against the bribe, on the
I'd day of August next.
We hope MIR. STANTON will embrace an
early occasion to visit Lawrence, and ad-
dress the citizens upon the topics of the
DAY. The country has been so long
iashed by sensation speeches, it would be
afeheft to hear speech from gentleman
Of decided ability, who possesses clear
mead, and fully comprehends the wants of
'ne country, and whose every word and
gesture does not betray the den,agogue.

Lazrsnee Rook.BinderE.

Do the public understand the fact that
we have one of the best book binders in
Lawrence that there is in the western
country? Mr.. DoDswoRTH learned his
trade in London, and has followed the
business in Hits branches for many years,
in New York, Philadelphia, st. Louis, &c.
His work cannot be excelled in any
country, and his prices are the same as
those of ST. Louis. Is it not, then, clearly
the duty of our merchants, bankers, and
all classes of business men, to extend to
him their patronage? His is probably
the only blank book mandatory, or
bindery, west of st. Louis, unless there is
one at Jefferson City. Our people are
too much inclined to send away for their
work, mistakenly apprehensive that they
can get better work. or at lower prices,
elsewhere.
We feel anxious that Mr. DoDswoRTH
should be sustained in Lawrence. The
business men of Leavenworth, who have
extended to him an extensive patronage,
are urging him to locate there. This he
has almost half decided to do, and viii,
unless our own citizens show a greater
interest in retaining his establishment
here. True, it seems small business at
first glance, but it has been instrumental
in retaining over two thousand dollars
the last year in Lawrence, which, other
wise. would have found its way to St
Louis. With the increase Of population,
and the greater wants of the country, il
would grow into an extensive establish.
ment, giving employment TO a large mum.
Der of persons, and distributing thousands
of dollars among US. which, without it
would seek other channels of circulation

is the way to make towns prosper.
