PROFITABLE INyEsrxENr.-No investment
has paid better during the past ten years
than purchasing clothing at Sam Perry's,
opposite the Post Office. Thousands try i.
every year. II works like charm upon the
person while it only slightly affects the
pocket. He has the largest and best stock
in the city.
Our AGAIS.-We arc glad to announce

his legs again and able to stir about. We
ore undc obligations for . cali yesterday,

ciple Ii they know an incumbent to be q
competent, pains taking man, they will con
tinue him IN his present position rather thar
oust him to make experiments. So, be il
known, that if any changes are wrought il
: the city Offices tomorrow night it will b'
simply because the aldermen are Of th,
opinion that they can improve upon the in
cumbent, and secure more thorough ad
ministration Of the city government. Their
is no room for fault finding in that direc
ton.
Observation-Disclosures never appeare'
to so good advantage as she did last even
ing, blazing all over with gas-light and can
! die. Nearly every window in the busines
portion Of the city was perfectly ablaze, an
many private residences were thorough
y decked with floods Of light. It was the frs
time that even any thing Of the kind occur
}. red here on so grand scale, and the sigh
I was perfectly enhancing; but unfortunate

y py scene, q heavy rain came no which caus
y ed all hands to secure . shelter.
y We expect to see one more illuminatio
