MARKET STREET,

Grigg, Van Gunten s. Co, ClOthlcrs.
There is an old, true saying, that the best time
is always the present time, when we would carry
out a good resolve. So, if we would dcslte
neat-fltng and stylish suit of clothes, we should
make q straight wake TO Grigg, Van GunJen
Co.'s Clothing Warehouse, at No. 73l Market
street. They are now selling out their large
and beautiful stock of winter clothing al greatly
reduced rates.
Truman g. shaw, Dealers In Cutlery.
The inventive genus of man is producing
daily works that we wonder we're never made
before. 1t appears that when the advancement
ot the race requires any improvement or a new
invention, some inventive genius is ready TO
start forward and bring forth the necessary
machine. We were led to these thoughts as we
passed Messrs. Truman II Shaw's hardware
store, No. S35 Market street. There can be seen
all varieties of housekeeping hardware. Their
stock of porcelain hardware, comprising locks,
drawer and closet knobs, key-hole escutcheonss,
hnger-plates, and porcelain plates for doors, is
unsurpassed. They have all kinds of knives
clcavers, meat-saws, sausage machines, spring.
balances, etc. etc. All these are of the best
make. There is one thing that is well worthy
OF special attention. We refer to the Russ
patert scissors and knife sh arpener, which is
so handy TO have in the work-basket or pocket
On il one can always keep a pair of scissors
in good working order. Truman e. shaw are
the agents for these machines and sell them
wholesale and retail. 1t would be difiicult
task to enumerate the many useful articles to
be found there.
Few articles have taken more sudden and
stronger hold on the public fancy than the cele-
brated stove patented, manufactured, and sold
by Mr.. John s. Clark, No. 1908 Market street.
All housekeepers who have tried this new cook
stoves are delighted with it's operation. From
the testimony Of the many families who have
used this Inimitable stove, we are enabled to say
that, for all kinds of baking and cooking pur-
poses IT Is unsurpassed; that 1t is more durable
and convenient than any other in use; its price
is more moderate; and it consumes but one ton
of coal in six months. No complaints have ever
been made of its not working Satisfactorily 1t
would be well for housekeepers to pay Mr..
Clark's place visit before buying else where.
II. ID. 81 w. III. Pennell, Dealers In
In this cold weather, ard more especially in
the cold nights, the public are naturally inte-
rested IL. the question of warm bed-clothing.
About the cheapest articles of the kind we have
seen are those for sale by Messrs. r. ID. & W.
II. Pennell, No. 1921 Market street. We have
seen extra large size blankets slightly damaged
by water, tor So per pair, and the largest extra
size tor only SO per PAIR. These prices are
lower than ever before the war. They have
also large and fine assortment OF muslins,
cloths, and dress goods for sale on very reason
able terms. fresh stock of goods is always
kept supplied.
v. e. Archambau1t, Dealer I'm Dry Goods,
and Carpetings.
Victor E. Archambault, who keeps the dry
goods store at the NJ Il. corner of Eleventh and
Market streets, is too we'll and faVorably known
to our citizens for us to attempt to bring him
any more into public notice. Mr.. Archambault
has always on hand splendid assortment of
tapestry, Ingram and Brussels carpets, druggets,
oii-cloths, and window shades of all kinds. He
has also an elegant assortment of Marselles
quilts, table linen, tlannels and dry goods of all
kinds at the most reasonable prices, and of the
very best make.

other good things. Then the stores put forth
their best effolts TO please both the eye and the
palate of the young and the old folks. Perhaps
1t is almost superfiuous to say to those who
have been in this city for any length Of time,
that there is such place as Stephen F. Whit
mans, at No. 1910 Market street. Everybody
knows him who is gifted with sweet tooth,
and every one who has an eye for beauty cannot
but be pleased with the many elegant and taste
fui designs that are so profusely displayed In
his store.
There is one especial feature to which in this
connection we could call attention. 1t is to the
large stock of the most elegant and fanciiul
boxes which Mr.. Whitman has imported directly
from Paris and Vienna. These boxes are per.
feet little bVou1, and would be an ornament to
any drawing ng-room or lady's boudoir. They are
made with the greatest care, and the artistic
talent displayed in their getting up is creditable
TO the maker. They also have a new and rare
assortment OF CONNECTIONS and bonbons, which
cannot but be most suitable and acceptable to
all as holiday presents for the coming season.
AS we stand in their superb store and
look around upon the vast piles of good
things, candies, cakes, fruits ETC., we can
imagine how many little hearts they will
gladden. during the coming holidays, and car
almost see in imagination the little hands draw
ing forth the sweet treasures, and holding them
up for inspection, with bright eyesithat are
dancing for JOY. There are very few persons
who have not got lurking liking for swee
things. For our part we confess to the soft i'm
peachment, and to our liking the mountains o
sweetness that are so conspicuously displayed
in the establishment of Mr.. Whitman, are JUS
the thing to tickle the palate and please to-
eye. Go 10 Whitmans for your goodies TO
Christmas,
