The House or II. n. Bostwick.

The completest Dress Goods and Notion
House in Iowa is the establishment Of II. n.
Bostwick. Other houses have good goods,
and low rates, but We doubt if there is an.
other house in all this Hawkeye country,
that, from the cheapest and commonest MAJ
terial to tile richest and costliest fabrics,
from the most superb silks and satins to
twelve .and-one half. cents dinner napkin, is
go fully provided with stock to meet and
supply all possible demands OF the feminine
creation as Bostwick's. His purpose is to
supply the ladies Of keokuk and Southern
Iowa with a. complete an assortment OF Dry
Goods and Dress Goods, and of as fine qual-
ity as can be found in Chicago, or New York
at such rates as shall make it profitable for
them to buy goods Of him here at home, in
stead of sending abroad for them. This has
been his purpose since starting in business
here, and he has carried out his programme
He has kept as choice goods As were ever
brought to the West. His patronage has
justified his enterprise and enabled him to
sell at the lowest prices. Go to his house,
look through his immense stock Of Dress
Goods and Notions, Of Linen and Wooden
Goods, and examine the Chicago, st. Louis,
| or New York market yates, and you will be
convinced that all the Inducements are iii
favor of your purchasing from Bostwick. The
| people don't seem to know how remarkably
cheap goods are. 10 you know that in the
palmiest days of gold and hard specie cur-
rency large classes OF goods were not SO cheap
| ss now? Mr.. Bostwck has been in mercan-
tile business for years, and he tells US that of
Wooden goods, Gae Merinoes, choice Linens,
etc, he is selling at lower rates than he ever
sold before.
The appointments of Mr. Bostwck's store
are excellent. The departments are metho-
Ideally arranged. Mr.. Sumner presides
over the Notion Department. Our popular
young friend, Mr.. Harry Bostwick, has for
his specially the Dress Goods departments,
where he does the honors to the satisfaction
of all the patrons of the establishment. We
cannot commence an enumeration of the va
rious kinds and styles of goods kept at this
house. Of dress goods, from those costing
few cents to those for several dollars q
yard of his superb stock of linens !; of his
wooden goods Of his splendid shawls,
II American and imported; of his full notion
department, of all this and more, We can.
not speak here. We refer to bis double col
nmu advertisement on our fourth page.
His stock Of Ladies' cloaks is just arriv.
ing. He invites the ladies TO call and see
them.
BIZ referring to advertisement cur readers
will observe that 1.-THE Great Miltonisn Tab
leaux of Paradise Lost is to be exhibited
shortly in Keokuk. We don't assume to
know anything Of this production ourselves,
bat the press speak highly of it. C. H.
Sturgeon, it is said, wrote the following no.
tice OF it in the London Aornino Chronicle
while the work was on exhibition there:
Entering into the spirit Of Millions i'm.
mortal production, the artist appears TO have
caught his genius, and has added an express
sion 70 those bright conceptions which, ex-
cept the writing OF inspiration, are without
an equal, and portray the power Of An intel.
lect OF the highest order. Bot for that poem
our deductions from the sacred narrative Of
creation-of our FIRST proeenitors-of their
primeval state and fall-of the reign Of bliss
and woe-of the. arch tempters insidiousn es,
might not have harmonixed With these stu
pendous realities which arc recorded in the
Mosaic description. The lustratior, ii with
prcpriety We may use the word, that this ex-
hibitien unfolds, portr,ys the truths ia eform
OF solemn and imposing grandeur, and alike
displays the Great Creators might, nAiesty
and power" s
