III q tOss OIL Sa1cS.
Who has not heard OF the fabulous Salaman-
der, that wonderful animal that enjoyed white
not hery bed as much as we would enjoy a good
feather bed in winter? 1hat animal has been
taken as the emblem of the safes that are so well
and tavorably known. The minds of inventors
have been taxed TO the utmost to render the
saies invulnerable against the attacks of the So
called devouring clement, and wonderful has
been their success. At MessIs. Marvin Il

that have stood the brunt OF furnaces seven times

Crittenden's Commercial College.
To young man Just commencing life, no
more suitable and useful present could be
offered than scholarship in a good commercial
college, price S25. Henry Clay once SAID that
an apprenticeship in a counting-house was a
useful experience to a man in any situation in
life, whether he adopted profession or entered
into business, or entered the political arena
The commercial college, which Is an institution
oil only lew years growth, is becoming more

The Fidelity Insurance, Trust, and Safe
Deposit Company.
We once read of a poor old "bummern who
used to take particular comfort, whenever he
heard the fire. bells ring, that it could not be his
house that was burning. But the insurance sys-
TEN has been carried to such perfection, that
the property owner is always easy in his mind
when he knows that, even If the hand of the
ncendiary is lifted against his house, that the
insurance company will step in like the Good
Samaritan, and help him through his difficulty,
II he has been ProVldent enough to take time by
the forelock and secure an insurance upon 1t in
some good company. Speaking of insurance
naturally brings us TO another way in which the
household goods can be rendered secure from
loss. We refer to the great and popular Fidelity
Trust and Safe Deposit Company OF this city,
which has been established, with a capital of
S500,O00, in Chestnut street, above Fourth No
one need feel alarm from ncendiaries and
thieves, when he can for mere trihe, have
his goods, whether specie or bonds, cared for so
we'll.
JAS. II. Campbell s. Co., Dealers In Dry
Goods.
Dry goods and dress goods are coming down
So reads the poor bachelor, as he thinks sor.
roWiully OF his lonely lot-lonely because he
cannot afford to pay the dress bills of his wife
that ought to be. How their hearts (if they
have any must beat in eladness by the good
tidings-"dress goods are down." Well, so it is;
and although consumers are rejoicing exceed
ingly thereat yet the poor storekeepers, VINO
bought their goods at high price, are looking
rather blue at the melancholy fact. However,
whatever is, is best, aud they are making the
most of it, No one calling in at MessIs. Jas.
r. Campbell IL Co.'s store, No. 1877 Chesnut
street, would ever imagine, from the pleasant
and amiable manners of the propretors and
their attendants, that there ever could be such
thing as fall in the price OF their goods.
But ii We would just price some OF Gnose elegant
goods that adorn their counters and shelves, we
would be instantly aware of the fact of the
great decline in prices.
Their stock which is always fresh and season.
able, comprises silks of all kinds, YeVets, silk
pOplins, wool corded, and plaid popllns, cloak
ings of all kinds and grades, and a splendid
variety of white, black, and colored reps and
alpacas. In short, TO describe all they have got,
would be to give description of all the goods
known to the trade. 1t is a curious thing to
the uninitiaied to see such names as ''Biarritz,"
"Epingline," 'Tamisse," ETC., and one naturally
falls 10 wondering where such names come from.
They have also constantly on hand large and
select assortment of blankets OF the best quality,
and for sale at the lowest rates. One can very
easily make a good selection CT dress or other
goods at this place, that would be eminently
acceptable as Christmas gift.
