of the members of the press, to when nun
ber Of ladies, distinguished in the literature o
the day, were invited on an equal footing witt
the gentlemen, paying their subscription tt
the entertainment and participating in the sen
timents and speech-making. Miss Alice Cary
the poetess, replied to toast as follows j
You know, my friends through whose good grace!
We mt ct around this board to-day;
It has been said that mIu embraces
Woman; but, with your leave, say,
This rather holds II special cases
Than in general way.
We women have been coaxed and vaunted,
Fawned on and fattered every way:
But the htgh-hopored place we wanted
Is ours IN scber truth to-day;
For with the equal seat is granted
The equal right to pay!
Pardon the mention Of the shilling
You see twas thrown 30 in my way,)
And think not that speak as chilling
Your courtssies. or courship, pray;
For each Of US. our Barkis willing,
Would name the happy da!
e. ,,;; ;, n,ove your praise no fable.
Wa "a ,b,le for that good end we pray
T a. Gohtninc harnessed to the Ssole'
Tramnle old ocean into spray
1v;tb naws hat women sit at table
Above the salt to-day!

A Gard from Mr.. Geo. II. Gruber

TTNO MY FRIENDS: 1t is with extreme regret
Il that announce to my friends and patrons
that circumstances beyond my control compelled
me to discontinue my business at the old stand of
N. M. PORTER CO., No. 236 King street. In
making this announcement, beg to tender my
sincere thanks for their liberal patronage and
support and trust that in my new position they
VIII extend the same liberanty. My limited capt.
tai, together with losses of the past three years
impaired my credit to such an extent that It was
difficult to keep up supply Of goods without
paying exorbitant prices, and was fast losing my
health, business and friends. In this extremity, +
appealed to Messrs. WIN. S. CORWIN I: CO., and
tho liberality which characterizes that firm was
at once extended to me, and am now enabled to
offer better Inducements; Their extensive capital
and experience permits them to offer finer class
Of goods at about the prices had to pay, particu-
arly in Teas. Champagnes, Clarets.' l}randies, TO-
The combined efforts Of myself and former part
ner, Mr.. JAS. 8. MARTIN, will be to please you,
and We respectfully solicit continuance OF your
patronage and We pledge ourselves to give our
personal and prompt attention to such. Again
thanking you for past favors and indulgences. I
remain yoRr obedient servant,

THE ELECTIONS

Pennsylvania gave Grant 2s,s9s
majority, and Ohio 41,e17, last year.
These are very heavy majorities for the
Democrats to overcome, and the news
received up to the present writing con.
saina nothing of any consequence
towards overcoming them. Looking at
the election as an independent journal, In
the State of Virginia, which State is not
In the Union but hopes to get in shortly,
we are rather pleased with the result
We are pleased, because we are "down I"
and the victory of the Republicans will
make them in good humor and We shall
probably have but little trouble to get
into the Union. Ofcourse this is sell
rsh, but these are selfish times and we
have seen but precious little from the
Northern Democracy ever to have been
self-sacriGcing for. AS we have to treat
with the Republicans for our admission
into the Union we prefer for them to be
in first rate humor, and theis success in
the present elections will ensure that
result.
