CITY NOTICES.

BUSINESS INCREASE IN HOWARD STREET.-Howar d
street still seems to be of the most thriving
of commerce in city. One of the indications
of this fact is that several merchants have transferred
their stores from eastery directions. Among
these we mention Mr.. VIM g. Furong, who has asSoci-
ated himself with his brother Mex. C. Furlong and
has commenced the new firm under very favorable
auspices at No. 70 North Howard street. Notwth-
standing such influx of new from other parts
of the city, the long established stores of this street
are not suffering in patronage and steadily enlarge
their business Among these, Mr.. n. H. Slime, north
west corner of Howard and Lexington street. has
greatly increased his assortment of clothing, and
piece and furnishing goods and yet the demand upon
his popular establishment is fully up to his supply
Again, Messrs. Hammitt & Dodson, produce dealers.
No 1i3 North Howard, of long established reputa-
ton, enjoy largely extended country and city trade
although in their immediate neighborhood there
spring up daily new competitors who also attract
good patronage.
THE OYSTER AND GAME SEAsoN.-We have in our
city quite number of caterers of well established
reputation for taste and skill. Among these, Mr.
T. H. 0Connor, the proprietor of the "Shamburg
House." Nos. % and 81 S. Liberty street, understands
how to make this and other markets tributary in
delicaces of all seasons for his guests and last week
he acquired an unequalled renown by the excellent
display he made at the japanese ball. in the Con-
cordia Buildings of which he had the culinary man
agement

XNTHAT SAW, HEARD AND BELIEy

TWAS a cold and bitter evening
The snowfiakes quickly fell,
And the chimes were gaily pealing
Of the fremans fire bell:
The racket of day was declining,
One by one it died away
As a voice from calling
Singing no. no. oh, hey
What! stop this bitter evening,
cannot, answered mol
Than the flakes of the falling snow,
Its true my coat from Dobbin's
bought to keep me warm,
have had il a week or so only
And now it is tattered and torn.
/ thought would stop and listen,
To what comrade had to say,
Said he see you are muSing
As you tread your weary way,
Now tell me OF your sorrows
May be I'll give you some plan,
To send you home smiling,
happier, a better man.
l told him the coat from Dobbins
| bought was all cheat
Not good for the sun of the summer
Or the cold of the winters sleet
Said he, Friend, that's easily ended;
There is some folks or gents down town
Whose art in the making of coats, pants and vests
Has become of the greatest renown.
cannot remember their names just now;
Just wait you moment or
Is it Jones, is it johnson, or Jenkins?
Yes. No, that isn't it. No! mol
Oh yes now have it, am sure,
And will tell you in moment or so.
It's at Marble Hall. No. 40 w. Baltimore street;
Their names are SMITH Bros & Co.
Now whenever you want Coat, Pants or Vest,
Or any Clothing that's got up in style,
To make you look like priest preacher or beauy,
Or just as if you'd struck lie,
Buy your Goods at the Great SMITH BROTHERS.;

In summer they will make you feel pleasant,
In winter they will make you feel warm.

Not of money fraction so small;

Chapter ".
3" will, )" said Satan. with a grin;
I'm very fond of jokes"
And soon. with pride: the smiling change
v as IN the purse of Stokes.
Bill bought very handsome suit,
But when he came to pay,
The money was not forthcoming,
And the deuH UdS to pay.
At length Bill found some other change,
Rejoicing at the sell,
He started off for home again,
r. Instead of going to-moonshine
He went back home among his friends
But none knew Mr. Stokes;
Who had so strangely disappeared
With all his comic jokes.
But Satan still was in the purse
And begged to be let go,
His business suffered by the curse
And absence from below.
Say, Bill, II you will let me out,
/ II grant an ther year,
And you may live in earthly peace
Without an earthly fear
"All right" says Bill, and let him go,
Old Satan rayed and swore,
And CRASHED his teeth with rage as he
Vacated Williams door.
Bill lived his time out very well,
And often made n call
To keep his costume in the styles
Of famous MARBLE HALL.
At length the time allotted came
And Satan Smacked his lips,
To think how he would cook bad Bill
Among his dryest chips.
So up he came TO earth again,
And searched through every street.
But did not recognize his friend,
Though often they did meet.
Continued next week.
