 This being moving day with New Workers, everybody is busy, and everything in the shape of carts, wagons and barrows are in great demand. This is the drayman's har- vest and many of them charge exorbitant prices. Lucky is the man who is the owner of his house and is not compelled to move the lst of May.

The natty little jockey hat still finds favor with majority of the young ladies, while the elder ones are partial to the bon net, the spring style of which is larger than has been worn for two or three seasons. The gents have made very little change in the style of their attire, the English walking coat being as popular as ever. Scotch Cheyiots are used'almost exclusively for suits. As the season advances will be able to give yVu a more thorough account of how New Workers dress.

 esteemed both as lawyer and as gentle man. He it was who sent such terror int
 the ranks of the garroters in the winters Q , '57 and '5s, sentencing one of them to State ], prison for term of 40 years.
 The Legislature of this State has adjourned

Thi g bill was strongly opposed by many of ou U capitalists, without success, and now the are exerting themselves to the utmost to in ,s duce the Governor to veto it.
