Tho Great Wardrobe.

Among the numerous establishments
of Detroit that are deserving of spe-
cial notice, is that of A BuRNHAM &
Co, dealers in gentlemcn's clothing
and furnishing goods. Their store is
situated in a central part of the city,
on Jegerson avenue, near its intersec-
ton with Woodward avenue, and is
one of the largest in the West. 1t is
filled with desirable styles of fashion
able goods, comprising everything that
is necessary to replenish a fall and
winter stock. They have on hand, and
are constantly receiving, q great vari-
ETY. of ready-made clothing, such as
pants, vests, dress and business coats.
also everything in the line of furnish
ing goods-shirts, drawers, ties, hose,
suspenders. and so on-suitable to all
tastes and to the wants of all classes
of customers, which they sell atwhole-
sale or retail, at prices that can scarce
ly fail to suit. There are few who
visit the The Great Wardrobe" that
do not find there the very article they
are in search of. Is is worth ones
while, though he should not desire TO
purchase single article Of clothing,
to step into this establishment Just to
see with what facility one may be fit
ted out with fashionable and com
plete suit, and to notice how many ar
ticle there are belonging to a gentle
mans wardrobe, which, though he
never possessed, are now considered
indispensable to every well dressed cit
izen. Though one may have fallen
among thieves, and been suddenly
stripped of every article of attire, he
has but to find his way to Burnham &
Co.'S, where he can be re-elothed and
fitted in short order. Messrs. b. &
Co., have had long experience and
much success in their business. They
are enterprising and liberal citizens,
and are honorable and high-mined
dealers. We cordially recommend all
who are in want of these goods to GO
to the Great Wardrobe" in Detroit

Death of judge Davenport.

ELIJAH N. DAVENPORT, well known
and esteemed citizen of this county,
and one of the pioneers of Saginaw
Valley, died at his residence in Sagi-
nav township, on the 18th inst, aged
63 years.
Judge Davenport removed from
Cold Spring, Duchess County, N. Y,
to Genesee County, Michigan, in 1882,
in 1885 he transferred his residence
to this county. His home, the major
part of the time being in Saginaw City,
whore he kept a hotel in 1886 and for
some time thereafter. A few years
ago he removed from there to his farm,
opposite this city, where he has since
resided.
The Judge was a man of sterling
integrity, strong, practical sense, and
under plain exterior carried as warm
heart as ever pulsated. In his opin-
ions he was firm almost to obstinacy,
evincing neither variableness nor
shadow of turning, but he was by no
means arbitrary or proscriptive in re-
gard TO the views of others. His hos
pitality was old-fashioned, unostenta-
tious and cordial. His latch string
was always out and his guests well
come. During his residence in the
county he has held many public posi-
tons, and was at one time Associate
Judge of the Circuit Court. Ho was
respected member Of the Masonic
Fraternity, the pioneer in establishing
a Lodge of that order in Saginaw Val
ley. He leaves a large family to
mourn his loss, and circle of friends
and acquaintance, embracing, espec-
ally all the older residents, by whom he
was universally esteemed as a just
and upright man, a kind neighbor and
a good citizen.

Flour AND FEED BURINEss.-Very
few Of our business men, and still less
proportion Of our citizens generally,
appreciate the extent of the Flour and
Feed business in this city. 1t is not
possible to estimate exactly its amount,
but we have the following facts as a
guide. Every Grocery House in town
sells moro or less Of all kinds of mill
stuff and grain, but Derby, Schupp &
Barrie, Rosenbury & Co, Sanborn and
Bliss, Jaynes & Co, are the principal
dealers; aside from these the May
flower Mills sold week before last,
nearly $4,000 worth Of Flour and
Feed for home consumption. This is
at the rate of $4,000 as the annual
business of one concern. How much
each Of the other establishments in
creases it, and how much greater the
trade will be when winter sets in and
lumbermen begin to lay in their sup
plies we have no very definite idea.

GRAPEs.-Messrs Hough and Fox
successors to Il. A. Hough, old stand,
Genesec Street. have made arrange
ments to receive an unlimited supply
of Kelly Island Grapes, which they
can afford to sell to customers at the
most advantageous figures. No fruit
is finer, healthier, or more desirable
for family use, and the immense guam
titles sold in this market attest the
soundness Of our people on tho grape
question. That those sold by Messrs
II. & f. are of the best quality and
most delicious flavor we know, because
wo have tried them.

PRoPHETIc.--Marks, who in his
business notice last year adopted the
significant motto Railways ahead" is
true to his profession this season in
building as well as merchandising,
having completed the first new three
story brick block in the city in 1868,
and a splendid building it is, too, an
ornament to the city and credit to
its go-ahead proprietor. Burt and
Buckhout on Water Street, were a
little ahead with their two story blocks
but Hoyt, Little, Hess, and the other
three or four story builders are none
of thom up to the Mark.

LUMBER OPERATIoSs-There seems
to be a general disposition among lum-

in getting out logs, and if the season
is reasonably favorable an immense
supply may be counted on for another
year.

BRICK BLocKs.-The Brick buildings

Saginaw this year foot up thus:
One large three story Hotel, l00x120

Public Hall. 40xS5
Livery Stable. two stories, 6Oxl20
Warehouse. 40x60
Twenty ground rooms for stores and
business purposes.
An addition to the Bancroft House
capable Of accommodating 200 guests.
And several smaller tenements.
Want Of material and labor has
greatly retarded operations in the
building line, and prevented the cree
ton Of several blocks designed in the
early part of the season. AS it is
there is fair showing of brick work,
and as for wooden buildings of all
descriptions, for residences, mechanical
and business purposes, tenant houses
&C., it would require one of the newly
invented Patent Adders to keep any
sort Of track Of them.

Army Correspondence.
Fairfax Court House, Var J

DEAR HERALD Since l last wrote you
the 14th has been out on picket to Centrevllle,
and was gone five days. While there, they
expected to have an engagement with Stuart's
cavalry. which was said to be in that vicinity,
for which purpose supply of ammunition was
sent oct. and the men all ordered into the
forts. The enemy, however, did not show
himself in that quarter that day. On Sunday,
the 28th. it was discovered that that noted
sebel chief, Stuart, was within our lines with
large force of cavalry, and intended making
dash into this place. Our cavalry pickets
stationed at Wolf Run shoals, 10 miles south
from here, were driven in to Fairfax Station,
and stated that the enemy's cavalry had made
their appearance in that quarter, and were
pushing on to THIS pace. accordingly pre-
parations Hsm,made to give them reception.
One regiment was relieved from picket by the
18th, and had been in only short time, when
on Sunday, about o'clock p. M, it was or
dered to be ready at moments notice
About o'clock in the evening, we were or
dered forward at double-quick. We expected
to march to the Station, but went IN another
direction towards Alexandria, and halted about
half mile beyond the Court House. The 10th
was sent to the Station.
Our force consisted of four thousand infan-
try, battery of artillery and squad of cav
airy The battery was drawn up in line be-
hind breastworks, supported by the 18th and
part of the 18th, and the remainder of the 18th
| and the 14th were sent out by companies to
watch the various roads, videttes being sent
out ahead in every direction. We had been
| in these positions but short time when the
enemy's cavalry made their appearance, driv-
| ing in the pickets and coming Unexpectedly
| upon two companies of the 18th, upon whom
they charged. The two companies fired vol
| ley at them, killing two horses, and captured
another horse and two prisoners. None OF our
boys were harmed. The squad that charged
| fell back to where larger force was station
| ed in the woods and built fires. Gen. Slough
ton sent flag of truce there, stating that ne
| would like an interview with Gen. Stuart; who
replied that be would correspond in the morn
| ing. Gen Stoughton desiring an Immediate
interview, ordered few shellS to be thrown
among them, which made them ''skedaddle,' y
| and they were not seen OF heard Of again thai
| night
This same force of cavalry was at Drains
vile the next day. Gen. Stuart was In com.
mand himself. Hts intention was, doubtless
| to surprise us, but he found the Vermont boys
awake. Gen. Stoughton had so disposed U;
| that we should have cut the enemy TO pieces i
| he had come up. StGart has found out wha
| we have got here, and that the Vermonters arr
ready for him.
The health of our regiment is quite good
aud the weather is comfortable. The boys o
the l4th are all in good spirits, and ready fo
any emergency.
| Yours, etc,
i G. w
