CoBB, ANDREWS & CO.-We are happy to
learn that the name of the long established
and very popular boOkselliDg firm of J. B.
Cobb & Co., has been changed to that of
Cobb, Andrews & Co.
The newly admitted partner, Mr.. Theo-
dOre A. Andrews, has long been connected
with the house, andSwon by his gentleman
ly bearing and strict business habits, the
confidence and esteem of all who have had
business relations or dealings with that
enterprising establishment. while the act
of admitting him into the firm shows the
value set upon his faculty" by his EN-
ployers. We are confident that, such is the
good will given and enjoyed on all hands
by Mr.. Andrews, that the business of tho
house of Cobb, Andrews q Co, must
hereafter be greatly extended.
The STEAM YACHT ocTAvIA.-The New
York Heraza of Friday, says:
The new and beautiful steam yacht 0cta-
via-named after the owners lady-has
been fitting at AllisOn's yard, Jersey City,
for ocean as well as coast aud sound service.
Mr.. Allison Is finishing her cabins with
curled maple, rosewood, holly, satin
wood and other hard woods capable of
taking polish. The mirrors and uphols-
tery work generally, will be in the highest
possible taste and excellence. The 0ctavia
was built at Cleveland, Ohio, for Mr.. Ken
nard, Superintendent Of the Atlantic and
Great Western Railroad Company, by
Mess5rs Peck & Masters.
Although purely American notion, being
constructed entirely of American material,
and her seams sealed as if with some pure
ly American hermetic solution, she will
sail under British colors. Mr.. Kennard,
however, before going to Europe, intends
her to pass the coming summer in American
waters, where she will doubtless prove an
attractive and agreeable feature il our forth
coming regatt S aad yachting cruises. The
0ctavia is estimated to be worth $3.50, 900.
