We perceive. by our Leavenworth exchanges
that Messrs. L. Levenson d Co., of that city, are
about to open very extensive new establishment
on Main street, which tits predicted will surpass
anything of the kind this side of New York.
Messrs. L. d Co. are very extensive manufactur-
ers of clothing. having house in New York, es-
tablished many years since, and have such am
pie facilities that they always sure to lead the
market in whatever places they establish branch
es. We are assured that the establishment
in Leavenworth will contain q stock of not less
than 100000 in clothing, hats and caps and fur
nishing goods, and will be devoted erelusiUely to
the jobbing trade. We presume our merchants
win be gratifed at the prospect of being able to
buy goods in this line at New York prices-and
such we are assured will be the case. Read the

Look Here-Read This and Remember 1t /,

We published the following -giving the arri-
walls and departures of the different mails coming
to Emporia, and the hours at which they were
closed at this office-two weeks ago. Since then
We have been asked at least fifty times, at what
time the mails for different points arrive and de-
part. We republish it, and would recommend
that the people cut it out and paste 1t in their
hats, OF some convenient place in their bust
ness houses or residences. The Eastern mail
closes little after nine o'clock p. m, and letters
handed in by nine will certainly be sent; after
that time it is doubtful. 1t is very inconvenient
and troublesome to send letters after the mails
are made up and the pouches locked. There is
ample time for our citizens to have their letters in
by nine Some have doubtless thought we closed
the mail too early; but We are satisfied that
should we postpone it until ten, it would make no
difference as letters would then continue to come
in until eleven. POSTMASTER.
