an application to vacate an attachment granted

the alleged denial by the defendant that he had any
moneys in other brokers' hands.

ure the purchase Of the elegant ware
house property situated on the corner
of Commerce and Water, streets,
lately known as the Elephant House,

Turnkey, w. J. ELY and Il. II. Pur-
year. These gentlemen propose con-
Quoting a general commission brsl-
ness in this house, under the firm
name of TURNKEY, Ely Il Co., and we
bespeak for them a liberal patronage.
Mr.: Turnkey has for several years
been prominently before tho public
in this line Of business, and is too ia
vorably known to need good word
from us here; but Of the younger and
less known members of the firm, we
feel we cannot say less than that they
are men in every way worthy the
confidence and patronage of the pub
lie. Mr.: Ely has for two years been
identified with the bllsiiiess as book
keeper, and Mr.. Purycar for three or
four years as receiving clerk, &C.
the last two of which, we believe,
was spent In the house Of Smith 4
Hutchings. So, in this new house,
all are practical men, and are bound
10 succeed, we think.

COULTER, MOORE & Co.-These
gentlemen, as our friends all know,
are engaged in the hardware house
furnishing goods line, and are agents
for the sale OF the various kinds of
labor--saving agricultural machinery.
We dropped in upon them the other
day, and found they had a good as
sortmert ofgoods and wares on hand.
These gentlemen have connected
with their firm Mr.. Ed. Turnkey, the
oldest hardware merchant in our
place; Mr.. Turnkey is not an old
man by any means, but veteran in
the hardware business. These gen
tlenien make their regular spring and
fall purchases, and in the interval,
order such goods as their trade de-
mands, thereby keeping up full stocks
throughout the year; and being all
cash buyers; and cash sellers, they
rely more upon the amount of goods
they sell for their profit than Upon
any fixed per cent.
Mr.. Rob't S. Moore is a member of
this firm, also, with Mr.. Browning,
OF Todd county, Ky, as salesman.
We advise our friends, when in search
of goods in the hardware, queens
ware, house-furnishing fine, or in
quest of agricultural implements or
machinery, to give this firm a call.

to learn from Mr.. West that the pros.
poets of the Academy for the ensuing
year are very fine. He thinks they
are far better than at any time since
he has had charge Of the school. Ev-
erything indicates a large increase OF
patronage. The community should,
as they do, rejoice in the prosperity
of the Academy, and do everything
in their power to promote its inter-
ests. Mr.. West has spared neither
money nor trouble to make the school
what it should be; and for thorough
ness and finish of cduca ton, it is
equal to any in theland The teach
ers employed are of the very first Or
der, and their abilities and social ac-
complishments have given the school
a very high character. Parents feel,
when they place their daughters I'M
der such refining influences, that they
cannot but become accomplished Ia
dies, Whilstbeing thoroughly taught;
they ut the same time acquire that
elegance of manner that fits them for
the best society. We heartily COM
mend the school to public patronage.
