We are happy to state, has inaugurated an
entirely new era in the state of the weather.
What before was season that couldn't be |
called spring, but an incongruous mix-up
4 of all sorts of weather, Is now as pleasant
,nd refreshing as the sun after storm,

opening really elegant assortment of
ready-made clothing, dry goods, groceries,
and all other articles usually kept in
country store AS they have the reputa-
ton of being honest, open-handed and
accommodating gentlemen, it is needless
to say aught in their behalf; and if you
want anything in their line, you have only
to call and examine their price-list to be
satisfied of their good intention to sell
cheaper than the cheapest. The tailoring
business in its various branches is also
carried on, in connection with the store.

general favor with those who are pugilis-
tically iuclined.-Emerson Bennett S

this sprightly little magazine is rapidly
winning golden opinions.-A report by
some means became current in this place
4 last week, to the effect that Robbins, the
locofoco candidate fer Mayor of Philadel-
phia had been elected. As a consequence
the locos were very jubifant for time

to either the state of the 'fggers' or Of
the weather, they wilted, and it was found
altogether unnecessary to have a bonfire
or other demonstration Read chapter
