enterprises of the day is PARKER &

offers. greater opportunity for the
purchase of the;thousand and one use

other.
1t is a well understood fact, that
certain classes of goods pay the dealer
a very large percentage of profit {:
This appears almost necessary, es-
pecially in Fancy Goods, Jewelry,
Silver Plated Ware, &c, of which a
dealer does not sell sufficient of any
one article to make il an object of
trade, and is obliged to purchase in
small quantities; and when the goods
are sold by three or four different class

very large profit, the price becomes
double the original cost of manufac-
ture before reaching the hands of the
people.

FnExrVERMILLIoN INsrrrurE-z
We regret to learn that on Saturday
last, the East Boarding House, con-
nected with Vermillien Institute. at
Hayesville, was burned to the ground.
The fire originated in a students room.
It was a fine structure, and the loss is
heavy. No insurance. We are assu-
red, however, that this will not inter
fere with the working of the Institute
which is in a f1ourishing condition,
under the management of its present
able Faculty.
Mr.. Thomas Seton, occupied and
was keeping the Boarding House, at
the time of the fire, and his furniture
and household goods were burned.
They were insured.

Terrible, Tragedy at Ironton.

A young man named Presley Bark,
err, was shot in Ironton, on Tuesday
last, by q girl named Elizabeth Nc
Quigg,2 whom it is claimed he had
wronged. The ball passed through
his breast and he died in about twelve
minutes. The shooting took place on
the street, Just after dark. The girls
brother, John McQuigg, was 9Th her
at the same time, and the dying man
said the shooting was done by him.
Two shots were fired. The girl i'm
med atefy went to the proper officers
and gave herself up, and was still
grasping in her hand the revolver,
from which two shots had been fired.
Her brother was arrested and the two
were lodged in Jail. Young Barker
was to have been married on Thurs
day. His remains were brought down
the steamer Telegraph, on Thurs
day evening, for burial here. The de-
ceased was not yet % years of age,
and the son of John Barker, n former
resident of this place. This is but an
other of the many fearful tragedies
startle communities, prompted
by lost honor, by despair and revenge.
The sympathies ofthe public, we learn,
are enlisted in a great measure in be-
half of the unfortunate girl-Ports-
Times.

tesy. 1t is not every man, however.
who can his cap,h gracefully,
yet the art is worth acquiring, for the
salute, when elegantly performed, al
ways makes a favorable impression on
society and especially on the ladies.
Hands and fortunes have been won,
ere now, by hat and hand ~po!iteness.
Some gentlemen imagine that merely
touching the brims of their hats is
sufficient expression of their respect
for the ruling sex. They are mis-
taken. The ladies are very exacting
on this point. The beaver must be
fairly lifted from the head to satisfy
them and a slight flourish of the anne
accompanied by, an OBJ isant move
ment of the head and spinal column,
renders the art, in their opinion, doub-
ly charming. Elaborate attempts at
the exploit are made quite often on
our streets, but it must be confessed
most of them are failures. Our
exquisites overdo the thing. There is
4 golden mean in the management of
the hat which they unfortunately miss
their ambition overleaps il.

WANT OF COURAGE Sidney Smith
in his work on moral philosophy.
speaks in this wise of what men lose
for the want of a little brass, as it is
termed: "A great deal of talent is
lost to the world for the want of a lit
tie courage. Every day sends to the
grave a number of obscure men who
have only remained in obscurity be-
cause their timidity has prevented
them from making a first effort, and
who, if they could only have been in
duced to begin, would in all probabili-
ty have gone great lengths in the ca
reer of fame. The fact is, that in order
to do anything in this world worth do
ing, we must not stand shivering on
the bank, thinking of the cold and
danger, but jump in and scramble
through as we'll as we can. 1t will
not do to be perpetually calculating
risks and adjusting the chances"

CANED.-After the exercises of the
Union High School had closed, at the
Town Hall, on Thursday evening last
the Superintendent Prof. s. NJ Bar,
Der, was confronted by a member OF
the school, named Hobcrt Potter.
The circumstances were these: the
Professor, having devoted many years
of toll in the instruction of the youth
of Ashland, it was thought right to
manifest a proper appreciation of his
services by making him a donation
worthy of the occasion.
BY contributions, the scholars had
made up a sufficient sum to purchase
a handsome Rose wood Cane, with Il
neatly carved Gold head. valued at
sos. Master Potter, was delegated
by the School to make the p~resenta-
ton, which wa7 handsomely done ;and
so well had the secret been kept, that
the Professor was completely taken
by surprise, and could scarcely give
%utterahce to his feelings.
The present was accepted in a few
pertinent remarks, in which he thank
ed the scholars for the compliment,
and said he felt grateful for this tok-
en- of their regard, and would careful
ly preserve it in memory of their gen.
and trusted it might
aid him to pass down the cur
rent of life, and guide him over
many of its rough and rugged ways.
This was a just tribute to a sue
,essful and jealous teacher; and COM
from the youth of our schools, as
1 Free. will-offering," cannot but
make a deep and lasting impression
lpon the mind of its recipient.
The performances of the evening,
we're quite interesting, and evince a
advance in our schools.
