A FIRsT-CLAss NoTIoN HoUsE.-We
spent an hour very pleasantly yesterday
morning in visiting the extensive whole
sale house of Messrs. Harris, Carpenter s.
Co., on Town, between Third and Fourth
streets. In company with one of the gem
tlemen comprising the firm, we examined
each department of the immense establish
ment, and were astonished to find so large,
varied and complete an assortment OF
everythingin the line of fancy and white
goods, notions &C., &c. We do not think
that any house west of the Alleghenies can
boast more complete selection or exhibit
finer quality of goods. The retail dealer
of the city and country can find in this
house anything he wishes to sell In the lines
of stationery, perfumery, cutlery or the
thousand and one articles belonging prop
erly to the departments of notions and
fancy goods, and, in addition, can rest as
sured of meeting only that Kind of treat
ment that gentlemen occupying the first
position in mercantile life can bestow.
yMessrs. Harris, Carpenter s. Co. are i'm
porting direct large class of goods espec-
7
this community, and are prepared to offer
unusual inducements to buyers, whose at
tention is specially directed to their stock.
Their rooms are located in the Carpenter
and Harris 6 Sigler buildings on Town
street, are easy of access, beautifully fur
nished, splendidly stocked, and invite the
attention of all dealers in the city and
T@krx h.
trade the firm is already commanding, they
have abundant facilities for extending bus
iness, and patrons may be perfectly assured
that entire satisfaction will be rendered
in all cases.
HAD HIS REvENeE.--There is nothing so
sweet to man as revenge. Some men will
bite their noses off to be revenged on their
foes. One of this kind was in town yes
store and purchased a small sack of flour,
for which he paid dollar and a half, and
put it in his wagon. Having invested all
his surplus change in benzine, and as he
wanted meat, he demanded the grocers
should trust him for what meat he wanted.
Being informed that they didn't do that
kind of business, he determined on re-
venge, and, going to his wagon, he took
the sack of flour he had bought, and dashed
it on the sidewalk, scattering it in every
direction, swearing he wouldn't have flour
from such mean cusses. Then he felt bet
ter, and went off for a drink. wa-E
DINITRo-NAPTHoL.-B this rather hard
name is meant the recently discovered
color derived from Naphthaline, one of th e.
most brilliant and solid yellow dyes known
in the arts. 1t dyes wood and silk without
the aid of mordants, in tints that vary
from citron yellow TO golden yellow, very
different from those o: picrie acid, which
have greenish hue. Two pounds of the
soda or lime compound are sufficient to
impart an intense yellow to four hundred
pounds of wool, such is the strength Of its
coloring power. ..,,.5.- Id. ..,s-r.,

SANIrARY-In hot weather it is almost
impossible to prevent sinks becoming foul,
unless some chemical preparation is used.
One pound of copperas dissolved in four
gallons of water, poured over sink three
or four times, will completely destroy the
offensive odor. AS a disinfecting agent,
to scatter around premises affected with
any unpleasant odor, nothing is better
than mixture of four parts of dry ground
plaster of Paris to one part of fine charcoal
bv weight. All sorts of glass vessels and
other utensils may be efectualiy purified
from offensive smells by rinsing them with

Our Democratic friends pooh, pooh!
at the mention Of this new Copper
head organization, as having an ex-
istence only in the diseased imagin-
atoms Of frightened Republicans
In 1860 we heard these same chaps
ridicule the idea of the Democratic
party going to war, in case majori-
ty of the American people preferred
Abraham Lincoln for President, to
Douglas, or Breckenridge. If it
seems to be an astounding fact, that
an organization Of bloody handed
midnight assassins should exist all
over this great, free, christian, civil
lied country, only consider for a
a moment. that during the past six
years, these same men lnaugur-
