COUNTRY MERCHANTS AND HoUsEKEEPERs PAY
PARTICULAR ATTENTIoS.-As an act Of justice,
which we consider to be due to the above indi-
viduals, we must without further preamble direct
their most special attention to the magnificent
bargains in mosquito netting, corsets and Irish
linens, which Messrs. Kern X Fellman, Baronne
street. opposite the National Theater, are offering,
through advertisement, which will be found in
a column of this mornings CRESCENT. This firm,
having command of an extensive capital, are en-
abled TO control facilities in purchasing, and
being at all times represented in New York and
Europe, are never without opportunities for pro-
curing dry goods at great sacrifices. The articles
which they are now disposing of at such extremely
low figures were recently bought at a sale of
seized goods in New York, and are marked ma
terally below their int rinsc value. Call, examine
and satisfy yourselves.

the immortal beau, was so remarkably scrupulous
in regard to the fit of his boots that only one
manufacturer could be found in all England whose
capacity was adequate to please the fastidious
dandy. Just imagine if H. Weber had ex-
listed at that period, what an enviable reputation
he would have enjoyed among such distinguished
characters for even in our present age, where far
less extravaganza is manifested, no youth ICON
siders himself du fat " without a specimen of
this workmans skill to cut figure 10.

Mr.. W. d. Levitt, No. l66 Grayier street, is con.

These mills are widely celebrated, and are built
under patent granted by the United States to
Henry Shaw and W. D. Levitt. To operate them
requires from eight to ten horse power, and their
price is affixed at figures which bring them easily
within the reach Of those who may desire to
purchase.

ODDS AND ENDS.

A good wife should be like three things, which
three things she should not be like.
wife domestic good and pure,
Like snail should keep within her door;
But not like snail in silver track,
Place all her wealth upon her back.
A wife should be like echo true,
Not speak, but when she's spoken to;
But not like echo, still be heard
Contending for the final word.
Like town clock a wife should be,
Keep time and regularity:
But not like clock, harangue so clear
That all the town her will may hear
Remember
That every one that fatters thee,
is no friend in misery;
Words are easy like the wind,
Faithful friends are hard to find.
Now Now is the constant syllable ticking
from the clock of Time. Now" is the watch
word of the wise. Now is on the banner of the
prudent. Never put of till tomorrow what can
be done to-day"
They hunger in frost that will not work in heat.

Coz, WETHERILL Sc Co.'S PHILADEL-
PH1A ADVERTISING AGENCY.-The bust
ness of advertising, like every other
feature of modern journalism, has as
sumed immense proportions within
the past five or ten years, and now
almost every large city in the Union
has it's advertising agency. While
most ofthe concerns have been unre-
liable, there are some that have attained
national reputation for straightfor-
wardness and energy in their dealings.
Such has been especially the case with
the firm of Coe, Wetherill & Co., of this
city, whose ability, energy, and ster-
ling integrity are reaping just reward
in the increasing amount and impor-
lance Of their business transactions.
They have always secured and retain
ed the goodwill and esteem of their
numerous customers. Between the
firm and the public press of the United
States generally there exists mutual
feeling OF interest and confidence. Pub
fishers in all the States find it for their
interest to appoint Messrs. Coe, Weth-
Grill & Co. their agents, because by so
doing the amount of their advertising
business is greatly increased and facili-
tated, and they run no risk; for in
stead of dealing with firms with
whose standing they are unacquainted,
they deal with single house, for whose
honor and responsibility, not only our
selves, but almost the entire newspaper
press of the country, are vouchers.-

BIBLE SOCIETY ANNIVERsARY.-T
committee appointed at the recent meet
ing OF the Board of Managers OF tho
Wheeling and Ohio County Bible Soci-
ETY., for the purpose of making arrange
ments to celebrate the coming anniver-
sary, have nearly concluded their la
bors, and now announce the meeting
for Sunday evening next, April 18th.
Several speakers from distance are
expected, and these, with some of our
own clergy, will deliver addresses on
the importance of the great work for
which the Society was organized. The
anniversary will be held in st. Mat
thew's Episcopal Church. Short and in
teresting letters will be read from Rev.
DIR. Taylor, of New York; Hon.
James NJ. Hoyt, of Cleveland; Rev.
DR.. Nelson, of Lane Seminary; Fl.
+Thane Miller, of Cincinnati, and Rev.
Mr.. Scovel of Pittsburgh. Owing to
other engagements these gentle men
will not be able to meet the
audience in person, but will appeal
to our people through the Com
mittee. Rev. J. 81. w. Stucken-
Gerg, of Pittsburgh, has accepted the in
vitation to deliver one of the addresses,
and also Rev. w. NJ. Mullenix and Rev.
D. ". Fisher, of our own city. It is
also yexpected that Rev. David Greer
will be in Wheeling and take some
part in the exercises.
AS is usual, all the clergymen of the
city will participate, and as general
thing the churches, with the exception
of st. Matthews, will be closed.

SILvER.-We are informed that a
short time since an opening was dis
covered in the ground near Cranberry
Summit, which on being enlarged and
cleared up proved to be the entrance of
an old mine, i'll which were discovered
several old English tools; on one of the
timber supports Of the roof of the mine
was found inscribed "1SOS." A further
investigation led to the discovery that
this was silver mine, which had ut
one time been worked. Specimens
have been sent to Philadelphia for as
say. but we have not'learned the proba-
