A NEw ExcITEMENT.-Ths passer-by on
Main Street, cannot help noticing at No. SO,
a perfect rush of customers for the Jewelry Of
all kinds displayed in that establishment.
Nessrs. Pohl, Randall & Co., the proprietors,
have large assortment Of Jewslry on hand.
which they work of Oh plan which appears
to meet with great favor from their patrons.
This is doubtless the cause of the crowded
state Of their store. From their circular, we
quote their plan of sale:
ave give you an envelope from among
well mixed number, for which you pay TWEEN
ty-6ve cents, and find enclosed an advertise
ment or certificate containing the name Of
some one article in the sale, which you can
buy for one dollar, if that article suits you,
and if it does not, you need not take it. but
have Photograph, which is worth at least
the money expended. We will sell you one
envelope for twenty-five cents; five for one
dollar; thirty Or five dollars seventy for ten
dollars, and one hundred for fifteen dollars" +

TnE ROBBERY IN PORTSMOUTH,. 1T seems
that the police officers In Portsmouth got on
the wrong trail when they arrested Metz and
his former clerk for robbing his own store
The two had an examination last evening be-
fore Mayor Collins, and were honorably dis
charged As yet the real thieves have not
been caught.
1t seems we did auintentional injustice in
our article of yesterday, in stating that the
employee" Of Metz were implicated. None
of them were arrested. We learn that the
assignment recently made by Metz had been
compromised before the robbery, and thatst
goods had again passed into bis possession.

who evidently makes good use Of her bright

street etiquette, which we cordially commend
to the careful consideration of the many pro-
spective Chester6elds in this city:
l.. Gentlemen walking should keep their
han Is in their pockets. It shows their gait
aud figure to advantage, keeps the hands
warm aud out of other peoples pockets.
2. 10 the afternoon congregate in front
Of the hotels and Saloons at the street
corners. Then upon ladies passing, set up an
equine cachination translated horse laugh.l
This will give them sn exalted opinion OF
your taste aud refinement.
9. Keep the centre of the sidewalk. By
this means others in meeting you will not
know which side to pass; when they attempt
it step in the same direction with them.--
This shows an agreeable variety in a prone
made. -- - :
4. Ii you see person on the opposite side
Of the street whom you wish to interrupt, cry
IS loud as possible to. him, ''Hol Jones'" OF
course Jones will show to passengers that you
take great interest in the fate Of jones'.

and with your eyes in an opposite direction.
You may meet somebody" and give them an
opportunity to study astronomy by day
