For tho Lancaster Gazette.

Mr.. EDIroA!--T There is most
freak of fashion showing
itself in our town, and / would be
the last person to notice it, were it
not, thataibe public good requires
that it should be slightly touched,
and censured, to.wit:
The keeping open of dry goods
stores until IL o'clock at night
The spirit of rivalry among our
fine stores does not pay them for
this nonsensical practice. From
morning carly to late at night the
poor "weary and wan" clerks must
stand, walk, talk, shew, and exhibit
wares, and to whom and for what
purpose? To founcy set Of giddy
youngsters, boys and girls, who
like owls, sleep of days and flap
about at night. This may all do
for the billiard room, the saloon for
whiskey, lager, ice-crcam, or the
schottisch waltz room, the evening
party ofwhatever kind or quality.
Appropriateness, after the night
is spent, at the mourner's bench OF
the "devi's revival" tiny bodies
Of modern McFlimsy girls and By
ronic boys, may sleep away their
senses, "ad libitum while sturdy
men and women fresh from rest,
can toll from early day to comfor.
table quitting time-and enjoy the
sweet reward Of q clear conscience.
But for the general good this most
cruel practice will not do.
Merchant nroprietors, how think
you, that your clerk feels on these
occasions ? he, plodding and plod,
ding, speaking and working, until
the Song of the Shirt by Hood
with its "stitch, stitch, with fingers
weary and numb" is out-stripped
by his weary effort. His dear wife
and pratt!ing babes deprived of Q
husbands and fathers sociality
must drop 10 sleep, without'a seal
ing kiss, or night blessing, from
him, who is to them.
Humanity shudders at the spec
tacle, and pcrchance, the Goddess
of pure and undefilcd RELIGION
whilst peering over the parapets o
Heaven, wecps over the abomina
tion.
Then, merchant proprietors, re
form this practico-sell until
o'clock, u. NJ, and not later. You
effort will be blessed and commu
nifty benefited. This rule wa
once made and observed, when
was clerk here, and the good re
suits accruant from it are yet re
membered by your old fellow citi
zens and particularly by
SENEX.

Saws a Copperhead exchange

Says a Copperhead exchange:
(" General Hays, of Cincinnati,
agrees to run on the Republican
ticket for Governor. BE made his
hands red in the great massacre,
and is thought TO be available in
consequences. " OF course It cannot
be said of Thurman that he ever
caused harm to befal a rebel dur
ing tho "great massacre, and hence
his availability on the Copperhead
ticket. There is, however, one
candidate on tho Thurman ticket
whose hands are red, to.wit: with
the blood of thrce Union soldiers
whom he helped to massacre" in
his drug store in Bucyrus, and
hence his availability as Demo
cratic candidate for Treaeurer. Oh

ty will 90 for him because he fought

ST.. LOUIS, Juno IL

ST. LOUIS, Juno IL.
Omaha dispatches say that late
Denver papers are full of accountS
of Indian deprcdations and mur-
ders. They also contain dispatches
from General Sherman to Gov
Hunt, in which. the General says
ho has not troops enough to pro-
tect all exposed points, and the
people for the present must fight
the Indians themselves. He also
advises Gov. Hunt to send 300
men Immediately to scour the coun-
try, then send them to Fort Sedg-
wick, where he will have them
mustered into the service for two
months. Gen. Augur will sCour
the South Platte to Laporto and
cross to Snyders. Another party
will scour the Lodge hole, and
another to Laramie. Gen. Custar
is expected to strike the Chcycnnes
that were stampeded last month by
General Hancock.
Wagon trains, stages and ranch
men must collect aud protect them,

General Sherman says the great
bulk of the Sioux Indians are no
within 500 miles of Sedgwick, anC
that the depredations lately com
mitted were by small scattered
bands who having been successful
in stealing horses may combine ant
do something worse.
