one ttst counts over the vanous little knick- |
knacks, at Messrs. Weyl & Rosenheim's, how
ever, we can lind all ready at our hand Their |
stock of millinery and straw goods is vefy Hne |
and rich. They have materials of eyerv kind In |
profusIon, and their stock Is vs.il worth inspec-
ton by any one VINO ltses 10 see beautiful goods,
iacss' Frepee pewers, ribbons, ETC., and all OF
Inc very latest styles.
Lewis Ladomus a. Co., Dealers in Dl0-
nAOnds and Jewelry, .iI
at No. S02 Chestnut street, owing TO the decline
in gold, have made great reduction in the
pr ces of their large and well-assorted stock OF
Dis monds, watches, iewelry, silverware, etc.
This decline in specie is OF vast importance at
this particular time, when all thoughts are
fixed upon the approaching holidays, with great
expectations OF receiving and giving; Tor brother
can now buy the watch he has been coDtem-
Llating; mother shall have that set OF elegant
silverware which was admired so much through
the large show windows OF Ladomus & Co.;
and sister shall have that locket and chain
so anxiously longed for; while father will be
content to dive often into the recesses OF his
pocket-book Tor the wherewithsl necessary to
purchase these Christmas presents.
The selection of Ladomus Il is one of the
best In the city. Their stock is not surpassed,
their terms are not overraed; and 1t will we'll pay
person contemplating the purchase ofjewelry
to make careful examination OF their stock.

G. w. Pitcher, Bookseller.
There are some places that, like Charles Dick
ens' old curiosity Shop are decidedly difficult to
describe. We remember once upon time
going to the Academy of Natural Sciences and
when We got home undertook to describe what
we saw there, but we gave up in despair,
because there we're so many beginnings that we
never could select one TO commence at. IL
would be almost as difficult task to describe
the many beautiful things that are to be seen at
Mr.. q. W. Pitchers, at No. 808 Chestnut street.
Many time have we stepped in to look over
their stock OF handsome engravings and large
photographs, and always have found them anx-
ious to oblige to the utmost of their power.
Perhaps there is hardly person who pre-
tends 10 any taste that has not seen and ad-
mred their beautiful and artistic phot chromos.
There is one, in particular, that comes 10 our
memory as we write this article. 1t is called
"a Picnic in the Woods" 4 more exquisite
imitation OF oil painting, or a more natural
effect, could hardly be produced. IL repre-
sents several little chickens 4 few days old,
who have run away from their mother hen, and
are enjoying themselves in the woods. The
effect s lovely, and the picture is, as it deserves
to be, very popular one.
Besides this picture Pitcher has a number Of
oil paintings, which he calls his "gems.n They
are generally very pretty and tasty, and reflect
credit on the getter-up. II we were 70 descant
upon his frames, rustic and gilt, black walnut,
etc. etc., or his albums and his little knIck
| knacks OF all kinds, that by their Cheapness
| and beauty are so tempting, we could ill
| volume. We would only say, in conclusion, to
| the reader, to 90 and see for himself, at G. W.
| Pitchers, No. sos Chestnut street.
j. w. Scott s. Co., Mems Furnishing g
| t.a .-p Goods. a..' ~ -.
| J.W. LScott & Co., shirt manufacturers and
| dealers IN gentlemen's furnishing goods, have
| on hand a large stock in their Ine and at
| ness is at No. 8l4 Chesnut street, where you are
sure to be satisfied with the article you pur-
chase. Present your friends with dozen linen
collars from this establishment.
| James s. Earle 81 Sons, Dealers In Paint
tngs, Prints, Etc.
II the handsome establishment of James $.
Earle & Sons, at No 8l6 Cnesnut street, will be
| found an ample collection OF artistic gems, from
| which the most recherche taste can select some
thing in the way Of Christmas gift. The gale
ries of the Messrs. Earle present, indeed, wide
and varied range to the connoisseur of art, en-
bracing everything from costly hrst-class paint
| ings in oil down to small prints and llthographs.
| But perhaps the most attractive articles in the
collection are the terra-cotta statuetes from the
designs of Rogers for the sale of which the
| Messrs Earle are the sole agents in this city.
There is freshness and vitality about these
charming little groups which cannot but recon-
mend them TO the most fasudious taste. Most
of them as the public is we'll aware, are based
upon incidents Of the late civil war. Mr.. Rogers
possesses the happy faculty of seizlng upon the
most romantic and, at the same time the most
touching situations, for his designs. He struck
chord in the great heart of the people, which
has responded in manner too plain to be
mistaken. The verdict of success has been EN-
phatically stamped upon all the productions OF
his fertile art. When every household in the
land had one of its members absent in the field,
1t could not be otherwise, especially as the
designs in themselves possessed so much in
lrinsic merit Among the most noticeable mill
tary sketches are Taking the OATH" "Uncle
Ned's School," '"The Bush whackers," "The
Home Guard,n "The Wounded Scout "The
Returned Volunteer" "The Last Shot," "The
Union Refugees" "rhe Picket Guard, I" "sharI
Shooting" and ''The Camp Fire.n All these
designs are wrought out with high degree o
merit and many of them are uneXcelled fol
delcacy of outline and artistic grouping. L
would indeed be strange If most acceptable
gilt for the coming holidays could not be foun(
in one or more of them. .....T
Charles Stokes s. Co., ClOthIers, lI
are located under the CONTINENTAL as ever,
body knows. And there the ragged and thread
bare friend of your heart can be made happy b
a discreet and comparatively small outlay. |
is even rumored that Stokes has discovered
method by which to sew buttons on in wa
that prevents them from dropping off.
