The GlEArrE.-On Friday morning
We heard the little urchius who throng
our streets shouting Here's your Gil
rafe." We were surprised. of course,
and were not'satisfed until, on inquiry,
we learned that our townsman, Thomas
j. Dougherty, had not only got Giraffe,
but a regular Elephantine load of New
Goods, which he had opened out in the
building formerly occupied by Eagan &
Dougherty, and was selling them at
prices which astonished the public. Mr..
DOugherty is emphatically the enemy of
high prices, and from the prices at which
he sells dry goods, etc., we judge that he
will rout the enemy, horse, foot and dra-
goons. 1t
