classification in all departments.
We invite special attention 10 the sdver-
tisement of Messrs. Evans, Fife & Porter,
on the Public Square. They have on
hand the largest stock of dry goods aud
notions ever offered to this trade. Their
large house is completely packed from
cellar to garnet. Upon entering the estsb.
lishment, you find yourself surrounded by
the heaps of jeans, bed ticking, prints, fan
nels, etc, which occupy the first floor. The
second is stored with ladies' dress goods,
felt skirts, hoop skirts, shawls in endless
variety, piece goods, and an extensive as
sortment of notions. Back of this room,
on the same floor, is found an elegant line
of new and fashionable cloaks, in fact,
their mammoth stock is replete with every
thing the trade may need. In addition TO
this, their spacious basement is filled with
package goods in duplicate, from which
they can replenish their stock and keep it
at its present standard. Call and examine
their goods before purchasing elsewhere.

In calling attention to the advertised
statement of Messrs. Hobson g. Cahill,
agents for the Liverpool, London and
Globe Insurance Company in this city, we
need hardly remind the public that these
gentlemen pay all losses promptly, and
that ii is q sincere pleasure to transact
business with them; and we call the atten-
ton Of all mercantile and other business
men to fact they can not fail to sppreci-
ate-that the losses sustained by parties ia
the late fire in the Hicks block were
promptly paid within ten days after proof
was made without the abatement of one
cent, which is a matter Of very great con-
sideration in taking insurance on mer-
chandlze or any other property. This
company is fast becoming great favorite
with our people, and we hope it may long
continue to merit liberal patronage.

lhe Grand Depository Again.
S.rolling down North Market street we
again entered this commodious depart.
ment, wishing to walk through and exs
anime thiugs more closely than when we
had buggy drive through it some time
since. We were at once struck with the
perfect order with which the business was
conducted. Every thing was like clock
work. The large transfer wagons were
driven in loaded with wheat, which was
weighed upon the scales Of Is, 600 pounds
capacity, and in few minutes had disap-
pesred, and was found slowed away in the
large "rat proof grsnaries. The whole
operations we're like the movement Of
machinery, and the diligence and industry
Of those engaged presented a sight that was
truly gratifying.
1t is truly gratifying to see the energy
and business tao. brought to bear in an es-
Enlistment that must ultimately tend to
benefit every interest of our city. May We
not hope that others will take note Of it's
success aud let progress be their watch
word.
The amount of grain already stored
there is immense. Just think Of
@ bed Of wheat six hundred feet long,
thirty-fve feet wide, and four feet deep |
And stiil it is coming in from every direc.
lion. We learn there was about % 600 |
bushels of wheat ready to beshipped from
Southern kentucky to Louisville, which
was turned into our city by this enterpri9-
ing firm on Saturday last. All who have
not seen this mammoth depository, and ex-
amiued into its operations, should do so,
as We are satisfied it will redouud greatly
20 the advantage Of our whole city and its
business.
