the Captain with AN eye to this great
need. If our word is not sufficient, we
beg for proof an examination by all in
tereSted.
We are pleased to know too that this
firm has fallen into ranks under the ,t'no

DR.. T.. GoCIN-0ur old and esteemed
friend is about to enlarge his sphere of use
fitness, by devotng large portion Of his
time, energy and talents, to the Drug busi-
ness, (for which he is peculiarly fitted, by
long practical experience,) having pur-
chased the stock Of Drugs, &C., formerly
kept by Dr. Pope, Agent. 1t is the Doc
tors intention to impor, direct from France,
the purest articles in this line that can be
obtained, and the many peculiar advanta-
ges he has in doing so will render his store
particularly attractive. The French store.
which has now deserved reputation, will

presided over by Mr.. Jimmy" the finest
French confections, &C., will constantly be
on hand. We wish the Dr.. abundant. sue
cess in this new branch Of business, as we'll

PARDON, LAssEs.-We beg pardon la
dies for inserting the following, but an
ugly, old, curmudgeon Of. bachelor says
if we do not give2i it local place, where

admiration for the ladies, and CORES
pondingly low opinioprof bachelors, par
ticularly to3one who insists on theinser-
ton of these new words to an old tune:
If laddie meets lasSie walking in
the street ); if the lassic wears "tiiter"
shows an ankle neat if the wind, in
rudely blowing, lifts her skirts too high,
and the laddie sees that ankle, need las
sic cry? Every lassie wears q "titer"
and ''hinderpest," and a metal 'palpi,
tator" on her snowy breast. - .....

item, is now, little while before going
to press, giving promise of a change, but
whether for better or worse it is not pos
sible to determine. The midness of, the
atmosphere might perhaps indicate the
opening of spring, but for our late expe'
rience. The excessive rains and contin'
ued cold have seriously retarded farm
operations, and will throw corn planting
mostly into April-nearly one month
behind. The peach crop will still be
good if not further injured. f. -.
SHooTING.-An unfortunate shooting hap

fcnsiye in their walk, but on this occasion
suffered themselves to be overcome by
drink, and while deprived of their better
sense, shot at and wounded an old freed
man, named Pratt. We sincerely sympa
thize with all parties, and hope that a warn
ing may be taken by all who indulge in thu
practice of drinking .....
