that A. M. Adams & Co., do. One Of the
firm is East every four or five weeks and if
there is any new styles of cloths, cassimers
or vestings they are the first to have it,
and of the best quality. Persons in want
of the best article of clothing and at fair
prices had better call and examine their
endless variety of cassimeres and vestings.
Their facilities for cutting and making
fashionable garments are unequaled in the

CORRESPONDENCE NTED."-SOme two
or three months ago an advertisement APP
peared in paper printed less than a hun.
dred miles from our Office, asking CORES
pondence, with view to matrimony. A
fictitious name was appended to the ad.
vertisement, and Pennington, Va, given as
the point to which letters were to be adj
dressed. A young lady in this city de-
termined to reply to the call-for iun o.
course. A neat and flowery letter Wa
mailed to the gentleman, and an answer
duly received. The answer contained s
long account of the gents standing in thu
community where he resided, his age, circum
stances, ETC., winding up with a request
for q photograph of his correspondent
The lady was somewhat amused with hi
epistle and wrote him second letter, in
forming him that his photograph must b.
received before hers was sent. In day
or two a second letter was received
by the lady, which contained a photo
graph Of Ter correspondent and the
name of the individual. 1t 80
happened that the young Miss had become
acquainted with the correspondent when he
was .oldier in camp on Wheeling Island
and had not any too good an opinion of bis
character. But, to keep up the joke, she
answered the letter, excusing herself from
sending photograph on the ground that
the picture galleries were too crowded
at that time, and asked for references as to
his standing in the community. In the
next letter the young man gave the names
of Gov. Peirpoint, Gov. Boreman, Auditor
Crane, and number of other notables.-
The lady now thought to let her correspon
dent know that she was acquainted with
him, but that he should not become &C.
quainted with her. In the photograph he
appeared in the same clothes he wore when
on the Island, including "buf" vest
Mentioning his business THAT of a grocer)
and the fact that he had been rejected by
a lady acquaintance of hers, she added land
you still wear that buff vest you were to
be married in" Concluding the letter with
an appropriate rhyme Or two, it was sealed
and mailed. An answer was received last
week, in which our Pennington friend ask
ed that the matter should 60 no further, and
that he could never rest until he had learn
ed bis correspondents name. In his last he
SAYS II am sold acknowledge the corn
keep it a secret, and l shall never again ask
