the handsome and courteous Bell presiding over the

opine that the advent of Capt. Newt. Corbitts new

few days, will be attended with great demonstra-
ton. Old Glib, old Millet Seed Egan, Billy Nc
Clurc, Blackman, and Jim Carter are a committee

committee of three, on Fire eraesers Bell, of the

boast Of many establishments for home-manulctu

mincnt among them, we think is the establishment
Of w. r. Bringhurst & Son. The senior of this
firm has been here for more than thirty years and
has not ouly been a practical home-manuacturcr,
all the time, but has labored zealously by other
means, 10 foster and encourage home interest and
home labor. The firm have been busy the past
winter getting up their stock for the Spring and
Summer sales, and have now on hand a large sup
ply of Carriages Rockaways, Barouches, Buggics,
Sulkies &c. that they prepared to sell rs low as
equally good work can be got anywhere else, and
brought here. There is certain kind of work that
they say they can't dos, ,nd to compete with, but
with good cork they will. We should certainly
think that any one wanting carriage or buggy,
would find decided advantage in buying home
made article from reliable home man. who is
known as a pratical manufacturer. Besides this
consideration, every ought, so far as Ike can, aid
and encourage home manufactures, for In their de-
velopement lies our hope of growth and prosperity
asa city. We ask all those, who may wish 10 par
chase anything in their line, to give W. r. Bring
hurst & Son acall and examine their stock.

rz~ We are glad to see that the work of grading
First and College streets, preparatory to macadams-
ing them, has been going on for week, ten days.
This work has been demanded both by public con-
venieuce and private interests for years past and
the tax-pay !rs living on the two streets have COM
planned loudly that it was not done, but the work
involved such heavy cost that the Board of Alder
men never felt authorised TO undertake it, The
late amendment to the city charter authorising the
board to borrow money, enables them now TO put
the work under contract.
First street is to be graded and mctaled we be-
lieve, from Strawberry Alley to Marion street, on
the North and from Union street TO Broad (gal-
lows hollow on the South the intervening section
from Strawberry Alley to Union street bengaready

throughout its entire extent from Frcnt street out to

167- In our notice ofthe difficulty between Pry-
or and Potter we gave the facts of the case they
had then transpired, and our comment upon them
did some injustice TO Mr.. Pryor. perhaps in the fact
that we blamed him for not accepting any terms
proposed by Mr.. Potter, after he had challenged
him. 1t appears from the published correspond
ence that Pryor's friend declined Potters proposals
to fight with bowie-knives, without consulting his
principal; but Pryor when informed of what had
trauspired, although approving his seconds sent-
ments in the matter, yet wished 10 accept Poters
terms, and so wrote him. but could get no friend
TO bear the note. lie then wrote to Potter asking
him to name time and place, when and where he
would appear on the street in some retired locality,
but when on. his way to deliver this note, Pryors
friend learned that Potter had been arrested, and
put under bonds to keep the peace and be- ofcourse
then had to drop the matter.
Even at this late day we believe it due to Mr..
Pryor. after what We have said about the affair, to
make this correction since it shows that he did not
shrink himself from any consequences of his chal-
lenge. While we say this for Mr.. Pryor we still
think his second was bound after the challenge, to
accept any proposed mode of fighting, or leave the
responsibility Of refusal TO his principal.
