Has now in store the largest and most varied as
sortmcnt Of SPRING AND SUMME HATS
ever offered in this market, and shall continue to
make additions in the way of new styles as the
season advances and one thing he woald assure
his customers, that when he offers a nep style,
they may depend on its entire originality, as he
does not offer an old style resurrected under a new
name. The superior quality and finish of the
Hats he now offers, renders it unnecessary for him
to do more than submit them to the inspection of
the most fastidiouS taste. He confidently asserts
that he has never before offered so great a variety
of st les, which will be offered at prices that can
not fail to suit the purchaser.

about eighty years since he held the same

TALE OF THE FRONTIER.
BY EMERSON BENNETT.

In the spring Of 1874, while General
wayue, in command of the northwestern
army, was occupying Fort Greenville,
which he had constructed the preceding
winter. the news was brought to him, that
Q party Of Potawattomies had surprised
and destroyed the block house Of q small
settlement not far distant, and massacred
all the inmates except g girl, whom they
had taken prisoner, and were then suppos-
ed to be conducting her to their village.
This female, Miss Eggleston, was the
daughter of an officer Of some note, who
was friend of General Wayne, and he
determined to save her if it was in his
power. = At this time he had some one or
two little bands Of heroic scouts attached
to his division, and he knew if o rescue
could be effected at all the men to en-.
trust with that important. enterprise could
be found amongst them, and them on
ly.
Now in happened that q small party OF
these scouts was at that moment in the
Fort, having come in the night previous
with important information, and were pre-
pairing to set off Immediately. Sending
for one of the most daring Of these Robert
Mcclellan by name, who, though not their
regular appointed leader, sometimes acted
in that capacity when his commander was
absent, the General briefly informed him
what had taken place, and asked him if he
thought there was q hope of Miss Eggles-
ton being rescued. 2aE@ q .ai '''se.lr'y.
