tishment To friends and Toes. For two days
and nights Library Hall, one Of the largest

ty, and thousands went away unable to get
admission. The central figure Of the con
yention was MRS: Ny. A. Livermore-known
foriher rsanitary, labprs during the wsr-7wlo

irrepressiDle, answering this sobjecton, crit
icising that, and sparing neither friends nor
foes, and omitting no Opportunity to cxhort
her hearers to subscribe fox ,elhe Revolu-
tioti." Both she and Mrs. Stanton were

THE POULTRY SHOW
of the Northwestern Poultry Association has
been held the past few days, in the old
wholesale rooms of Field n Letter, on Lake
street. One hundred and forty-seven entries
were made, and great variety. Of the choic-
est breeds, foreign and domestic, were ex-
hibited., The constant growing of the cocks,
from the deepest bass to the shrillest treb-
BILE, made harmonious discord. y tF' 4
SPRING TRADE, ...,,t.t
I Our merchants are busy preparing for the
spring trade. The course OF Western trade
has changed materially within the last ten
years. Formerly, the Western country nler-
chant went East twice year TO buy goads,
and purchased Six months stock at q time.
And as he couldnot fofesee the demands OF
trade for q long time ahead, he either bought
too little, and was therefore unable to meet
the wants Of his customers, or he boughttoo
much, and had a deprecated stock to carry

and prosperous merchants now buy lighter
stocks, especially OF changeable, goodsO and
rcplenish often, and thus keep a full assort-
ment, without being obliged to carry heavy
stocks, and rnnlthe Tisk of having aflarge
