Mr.. ounN has also received large supply OF
neat and commoiious news slips envelopes. These
come in cartoons, and are Of different sizes; they
are eespecially adapted for the purpose OF keeping
old newspapers that are useful for reference. a

with interest, and will repay perusal
A MoHsTKR OF THE DEEP.-We have seen one OF
these huge specimens Of the hard-shelled inhabi-
tants OF the deep, that no doubt gave to the an
clients their ideas Of the craken. The present
visitor has apparently enjoyed life on the ocean
wave for some time, but he was suddenly deprived
Of his home on the rolling deep by some toilers by
the sea, who trapped their victim near Cape Ro-
main. He is at present in the custody OF MIR.

mortals at the witching hour Of II A. N.
FEHaxxBAon is the pioneer Of Restaurateurs,
and We know that his productions are never at a
discount; his turtle acquisition will only add to
his reputation, and increase the number of his
guests. -. .5s,s-. - -.

THE LATE RAnss.lThe fall of water during the
last week was, perhaps the heaviest that has been
experienced In our city formany years, and caused
on the part Of number of citizens, especially
those in authority dread Of serious injury to
dwellings,, gardens, drains, &c. With the severe
gale which also visited us on Saturday, their appre-
hensions almost became certainty, and thethought
that disasters from the terrible wind and rain upon
our people at season Of dullness and stagnation
like the present, would indeed be sorrowful ad-
dition to the poverty and want that now aficts 30
large PORTION of our population. But we were
reIoioed in hearing yesterday the Mayor remark
that he had ridden through the parts Of the city
4 where he supposed the most damage would have
been effected, and, after an examination, was hsp-
py to say, with surprise, that but little injury had
been done, and that the city generally was intact
This is certainly q great cause for thankfulness,
that after such q period Of lenthened storms We
should receive 80 little harm, and good reason to
make Us more determined to build up our old city
and make us as proud as ever Of her appearance.
A PATENT Rat TRAP.-We had the pleasure yes
terday Of examining new style Of rat trap, re-
