In calling attention to the advertisement
of Furman & Co., few days ago, We
simply referred to the fact that they had
received their stock of goods for the Spring
trade. The magnitude and extent of this
stock has TO be seen to be appreciated. It
Is BY far the largest that this firm have ever
exhibited in this market, and is an indica-
ton that the business Of the approaching
season promises well, as no other jObbing
firm ia the city know more about the wants
of the people in the matter Of dTygOOds
than the enteTprising members Of this firm.
Their mammoth establishment, as above
intimated, is packed from cellar to the last
story. The cellar is used as an entry and
duplicate room. in which there is scarcely
a passage way. The first floor is
devoted 10 staples, such as prints, sheet
inos and piece goods Of all kinds, and
embraces an assortment which would
reflect credit upon the largest East
ern house. The second floor. or third
story is filed up With hosiery, white goods,
linen goods, gloves, notions, ribbons, neck
ties, buttons, etc, etc, together with long
line Of dress goods, which for extent and
variety, has never been eXcelled in this
market, and 10 which We would dIEecJ the
especial attention Of the trade. The fourth
story contains ladies' and misses trimmed
hats and bonnets, pefumeries,. soaps, car
pet bags, baskets, collars, stationery, jewelry,
clecks, pocket-bOOks and wallets, umbrel-
las, etc, etc. All these goods, we may re-
mark, were purchased before the late ad-
vance, and selected in person by Mr.. FU,-
man, who has long since been regarded as
one oRthe best buyers in the South. All
the gentlemen connectedwith this house are
experienced statesmen, good judges Of staples
and fancies, and are ever ready and willing
to attend to the wants of customers.

articles.
The sale Of valuable tax-free lots on
Vauxhall street to-day, at II A. NJ, by the
Clerk and Master, is worthy Of the special
attention of capitalists and others. See ad
yertisement in another column.
TRUE ECoNoMY.-The country is at pre-
sent flooded with cheap and inferior goods
Of every description, which are heralded to
the public in flaming advertisements, and
which find a market among those who have
vet 10 learn that "true economy consists
In buying first class article from an eStab-
hsbed and first class house. For example,
pianos of various makers are offered at
about one-half the price Of those of really
first class manufacture. Among the latter
none are more deserving Of the encOnigm
Greatly first class" than those manufactured
by MeSsrs. Vim. knabe * Co, Of Balti-
more. firm which dates over a third Of a
century, and whose pianos, for eZcelency
of workmanship, durability and sweetness
of tone, stand absolutely unrivalled, and
containing many valuable patented improve
ments to be found in no other instruments,
made by the very best workmen, and Of
strictly first class and seasoned material.
The so-caEa sci cap piano may present
fair external appearance, but Is made OF
inferior and often entirely unseasOned ma
terial, and soon becomes a wreck which de-
hes the art of the tuner. We make special
mention of the piano, at the most
forcible illustrations of our remarks, which
can be applied to almost every article we
use in our families.
