Jones, CIothter.

Any one who can search his memory back a
few years, will recolect the great disadvantages
that purchaser laboted under from the gene
raj leose system of pricing goods. Nov there
has been great change, and business men
have generally adopted system of labelling
their goods With the price in black and white.
One OF the pioneers in this movement was the
establishment known as Jones 0ne-Price Ready
made Clothing House, No. 604 Market street
There the customer can depend on dndiug every
thing in the best style and make, and with the
lowest cash pr1Ce marked upon each article.

One of the most attractive sports of winter
next to snow-balling, is sleigh-rdng. Wnat is
more pleasant than 20 have a fine sleigh we'll
filled with young folks, and with pair Of fast
horses driving along the smooth road to the
naturalization of the bells, and with the speed
OF the wind But TO enjoy it to the full, one
must have ono OF those elegant aud heavy but

Of all gifts that are made during the HOLIDAYS
or indeed at any time of the year, there is
none that is so universally acceptable to all
as a good book. From the little child, whose
bright eyes dance at the beautifully colored
pictures in its toy books, to whose untutored
gaze the bright and highly colored engravings,
illustrating !strange and weird fairy tales TO
the learned man as he looks over the labored
and highly wrought treatise upon some favorite
scientific subject-all are pleased with the gift
OF book. 1t is at all times received with plea
sure, and is one of the privileged articles that all
are allowed to receive without censure. What
is more pleasing SouUen2r than beautiful
little pocket Bible or prayer book, or an ele-
CANT edition OF some one of the poets
The Messrs j.. B. LippincOtt & CO.-whose
e,
Market street, Is one of the institutions ef our
city-have, perhaps one OF the largest assort-
mente OF rare and valuable books to be seen in
the country. On their shelves and counters can
be seen books of all kinds and styles. They have
made special preparations for Christmas. We no.
ticed few OF the most elegant the otner day.

complete in ITSELF The first contains the poetry
written from the time of CHANGER to Dryden,
second from Swift to Burns, and the third from
Wordsworth to Tennyson. A brief memoir s
prefXed TO the writings of each author.
Besides the Gem there are also most ele.
gantly bound anuuas and git books. Perhaps

these, Theodore Tilton's, True Church, )" Roses
and Holly" Gems of Literature" "Pen and
Pencil Pictures" (from the poets), "Maude
Muller,n and many others of the same kind, all
