SPLENDID STocK-To those who have All
eye for beautiful goods in the Fancy and Sta
Pile Dry Goods line, We would suggest that
visit to WILEY's, Kennedy Block, will crafty
them exceedingly. Mr.. Wiley is thorough
merchant and his long experience in trade en-
ahles him to make selections that are superior
to the indiscrimnate purchases often exhibited
at retail in the western country. Knowing
what to buy and how to buy it, is about the sum
total of mercantile qualification-the goods
will always sell themselves if the selections are
carefully made and the prices of purchase are
at the foot of the market. From an examina
ton of the Wiley stock we are satisfied that
his fine stock of Prints, Delaines, Poplins, AL
paccas, Lusters, Mozambques, Silks, Lawns
Brilliants, Cloaks, Circles, Shavls, Hoops, Bal.
morals, Hats for ladies and children, Linen
Goods, Notions. Foreign and Domestic Cloths
Embroideries, Lace Goods, &C., &c, cannot
be excelled west Of Chicago The prices are
very reasonable and the attention of the sales
men is faultless. When we state that our
amiable young friend Edwards is an Average of
the corps of attendants all our lady readers will
assure themselves that they can have the free.
dom of Wiley's store, look over all his goods
make as much 'trouble" as they wish and then
not be scolded ifthey do not choose to purchase.

THE DEFEAT OF BANKS. "A mercantile
house, in Bnsloo, furnishes the following
extract from letter Of their correspondent
in New Orleans:
The disaster to our arms in the Red Rv-
er has proved a very serious one, in which
we have lost some 1000 in killed and
wounded, 200 army wagons with stores.
&c, l9 pieces of artillery with caissons,
ammunition, &c, even the personal fleets OF
staff officers. We have the entire gunboat
tlo,illa above the rapids, with the water of
the river turned into Bayou Pierre, so that
the boats are useless. General Banks has
been forced TO retreat go miles, after suffer,
ing great loss, and the enemy are now be.
toee,, the guaboats and the army.

Wise PreCRusiOn.

Scarcely day passes Or an exchange paper
reaches us, but We notice the benefits resulting
from little foresight in the way of Property
or Life Insurance. Men in business suppose
themselves wealthy, their families are COM
Portable and all is going on swimmngly their
policy runs out, fire sweeps all they have
into ashes, and they all wake up poor, and are
compelled to commence lie just where they
began twenty years ago. This often happens.
So, too, with life: Its uncertainty is one of
the daily remarks of orators and writer's, con.
hrmed too by the observation of any one who
can see beyond his nose. Mechanics and bust.
ness men who are beginning life with loved
family, whose whole future is dependant upon
the success Of the husband and father, do not
usually consider how small an amount annually
will secure their household idols from the pos.
sibility of want. Life policy in the Wiscon-
sin Mutual, one of the most reliable institu.
tons in the Union, will relieve your home and
all its inmates from any apprehension of dis
disease Or Of travel This company is doing an
immense business in all the Northwestern
States, and we personally know scores of in.
stances where widows and children have been
actually kept from dependence on Charity, by
the prudent foresight and liberal hearts of Their
male protectors. Ills mans duty thus to
provide for wife and children.
The Wis. Mutual is employing the best bust.
ness talent in the west to present it's claims tn
the Public. Among others whom it la. cap
tured, is our young townsman d. D. FRASER,
whose card is in this issue of the TINES. We
have known d. d. many years and we are
pleased to commend him to all with whom he
has business relations. Those who may have
ideas of insuring their lives, can place the con-
hdencc in his statements which the whole Board
