CLOTHING ESTABLISHMENT

II Is fact that nothing helps mans appearance
Ike { new suit Of clothes. The old maxim that a
new hat viii carry Of an Old coat" or make the
bid coat passable is superseded entirely by the
act that new coat will carry on an old man. or
make the aged individual appear as young and
blooming as lad OF sixteen. And then nothing
adds more to mans comfort than good fitting
suit OF clothes. Our clothing establishments are
very fortunate in securing the services Of accom-
plished cutters, men who have an artistic eve and

The CHoLERA.-It is uncertain whether the
announcement that the cholera, after ravaging
in the eastern provinces OF Russia, has assumed
a malignant form in Moscow, and that few
sporadic cases have appeared at st. Petersburg
presages an extension of this dread disease over
western Europe and the United States. In ls6g
the cholera appeared in a small portion of Rus
sia; in 1870 1T extended to Moscow and in 1871 il
visited ali portions of European Russia which
had previously been exempt Ia 1871 it also
extended beyond the confines of Russia, appear
ing in Poland, Sweden, Constantinople and one
English port, and in October, 1871, it was
brought across the atlantic in an emigrant ship
to Halifax, Nova Scotia, but was FORTUNATELY
soon stamped out. American cities may again
be fortunate enough to escape its ravages, but a.
the disease may be brought to our shores at any

OF its manifold obstacles, deserves well of the
perity of France.
