Fashion Notes.

Low-NECKED dresses have gone en-
tirely out of fashion, and low Innings
to summer dresses have also been la
booed.
LARGE hoop earrings of tortoise shell,
jet or gold are all the rage the larger
they are the more stylish they are con.
sidered
A NEW style of earring is in the shape
of tambourine, the bells of which
jingle pleasantly at every movement of
the wearer's head.
CARD parties and luncheon parties, to
the latter of which a few gentlemen are
admitted, are now the most fashionable
entertainments given.
THE Philadelphia style arrangement
ring is of plain gold. Many of our city
young men probably wish, when they
became engaged, that they were natives
of the Quaker City.
THE latest style at dinner party is
to have fan placed at each lady's plate,
on which is printed the bill of fare, and
on the side of which is small looking
glass so that she is able to survey her
self and keep cool.
CASHMERE dresses, colored and black,
are worn this spring over silk dresses,
and are deliberately embroidered or
braided and edged with lace. The
sack is cut up at the sides and back,
and with very long sleeves, also trimmed
with lace.
A NEW style of diamond earring is
made long, with a small diamond close
to the ear, and large diamond en-
closed in several small hoops, the inner
one of silver and black enamel. An
other style is solid bar of gold, in
which are placed several large diamonds
in row.
The new style of round hats for this
season are very beautiful and decidedly
new they are made with quite wide
rim in front and turned up at the back,
with a small, lew crown. The large
flats of leghorn and chips will also be
very fashionable this season.

CHICAGO, Nav 3, 1S7l.-The last half of
April was moist. chilly and unpleasant, and
the first few days of May wet and cold; but
il cleared up with bright sunshine on the
9th inst, with a promise of good planting
weather for the future Still, notwithstand-

trade has generally been dull. There was a
larger trade in March and the first part of
April tlan ever before, and some houses
have so exceeded their former sales, that,
should there be no revival till early autumn,
they would still be ahead of all former sea-
sons and of all competitors in their line.

Scanland, while he was driving him out on

Quilted and discharged by order of the
Grand Jury last week, and has gone back to
his old place as clerk in the Post Office, very
much to the disgust of the press and other
advocates of law and order, who insist that
he ought to have first been tried by petit
jury. Scanland had threatened to kill
Leonard, and had treated his wife, Leonard's
sister, shamefully. Very few men would
allow themselves to be turned out of their
own houses, peaceably, by man who had
threatened to kill them.
