since, we met, at the Railroad depot, an
old acquaintance, who, five years ago, was
wealthy, the idol of his parents and sisters,
popular in literary and social circles, and
known among young men Of his class as "a
good fellow" He was intelligent, warm.
hearted, high-souled and spent his money
freely. Now, he is poor, common drunk
ard, with bleared eyes and trembling nerves,
an outcust, of friends and fortune quite
disowned," and no longer considered ga
good fellow" by the sponges and vampires
who rioted upon his substance, and helped to
make him the moral wreck he is. We know
some good fellows' at the present time
in this neigbborhood, who are rapidly fol.
lowing in the footsteps Of our fallen friend,
and who like him, may one day realize the
fact that they ore no longer" good fellows"
in the estimation Of the summer friends who
now fswn and make merry with them be-
cause they " foot the bills" How many
scores of " good fellows" with fine intel.
lects, generous hearts, and open purses,
have gone down to the grave Of the drunk.

CHANGES There is now q decided change
in the mind OF the public as to the advantage
of wearing "chenp" clothing. A few yenrs
ago class of establishments sprung up,
whose sole aim was making clothing to sell
at q very Tom price. This, Of course, was at
first attractive to many, but the wearer OF
such stuff soon found that what was appar-
emily cheap was in the end very much the
reverse. Buyers now begin to appreciate
really good article, and as q reasonable re-
suit the so-calIed "cheap" clothing is AVOID
ed, and reasonable price paid for reliable
article. CHARLES GREENFIELDER, No. 8,
Phoenix Block, has built up large busine 8
in we'll made ard first class clothing for men
and boys, by introducing it just when the
public here tired of cheap trash. His cstab
lishmeLt is so we'll known throughout the
county as being of the first order that any
thing we nigh; say concerning it would be
supelhuous.

STILL MORE ASTOUNDING The world Of
newspaper enterprise has its revolutions,
and the change from the style OF modest
outlays to the present one of giving inordi-
nate sums to secure extraordinary attrac
tions, is not the least remarkable of such
phenomena. Bayurd Taylor. one of the
most piquant and entertaining writer's of
the age, has been secured, we see, by the
New York Mercury, and is about to pen
series of his inimitabe travel sketches, eX-
clusively for that journal. On dit, that
Taytor has written to his friend, Charles
Dickens, to engage him as companion
artist in this new field of exertion. Heaven
only knows what prices are paid to such
men for a monopoly of their literary scrvi-
ces. The sum must be enormous. The
Mercury, however, approaching, as it olrea-
DIV does, we learn, to an edition of quarter
of o million, can well affora it. ViUe Ie cash
