LOCAL. MATTERS,

ice GooDKxoUou HonsE SnoS.-We are glad
to be able to Assure our readera thst this new nnd
Important invention. which has been 80 thorough
ly erGo1aed by the Eastern press, and gained such
aEopulazity wherever introduced, can now be had
in any desirable quantity, in this city. Maj. VIM.
]. Cullen, who has spent several years in business
that gayo him IN Intimate knowledge OF the uses
aud abuses Of horees, is making arrangements for
establishing an extensive horse-shoe:ur shop, in
this city, on plan entirely different from anything
now in the West. The advantage Of tho new shoe
lies not only In the manuer Of applying it to the
foot, but In the form and m.keAo{ the shoe, which
Is both convex and concave. This shoe has seven
cotks or supports instead Of three, presenting an
equal bearing all around tho wall, or shell Of
the foot, thus preventing the formation OF corus
and numerous diseases Of the hoofs, legs and
shoulderR, induced by Pnequal bearing. The Gov
eminent has ordered seyeral hundred tons Of this
patent ehoc. for use In tho army. Maj Cullen will
be pleased to any parties interested in adopt
Ing this shoe, either horse-shoess capitalists, at
Jerry Kottfngham's Fast Freight Line Office, No,
Z fremont House Block, Dearborn street, where
he will fully and freely exhibit tho numerous ad-
yanfages OF the Goodenough horae-shoe, which
from present Indications viii -soon supercede all
otheIs.-
NEW YEAR CA1Is.-From present indications.
the custom Of renewing old acqnatntances and
forming new soclal ties, will be moro fully car
Hed out In this city, on the coming New Years
Day, than ever before. As first Impressions arc
lastfug," and as man is generally Judged, to n
great extent, by hls FeTsone}, it becomes those
who would make an imprcseton' to dress them
selves in manner bcatttng the occasion. There
is no retail houne in the city where they will find
q more extensiys stock Of every article In the
clothing line, than at Belongs, Nos. 100 and 103
Randolph street, opposite the Matteson House.
His goods are Of the very latest styles, substau-
italy made from the very bost materials. Those
wanting any article Of clothing will consult their
own interests BY examining the stock and prices
at Belongs. before purchasing elsewhere.
Jrsr TIE PLAcE-The exact place for nil who
want that which is good at reasonable prices Is
Stanton's, 1a5 Lake street. His stock OF wines Ia
perhaps the most extensive In the whole Western
country, and the choicest brands are found in rich
profnslon in his ample ecl1ars. Hebas one quail
~ OF his own selection and Importation which Is
equal to anything that has ever been seen In the
States. Dried fruits, preserves, ales, b1andics,
cheese, fish and foreign fruits Of all kinds may DO
procured from him, with the certainty that no In
ferior grades arc sold at his establishment.
