R,pzysA That we report to the Pres,

more detailed and accurate reports, and
who shall present the same to the
Convention when it shall meet, and

LIBERAL REPUBLICAN MEETING.-We
were informed yesterday that meeting
OF the Liberal Republicans Of this city
will be called in a day or two to con-
slider the propriety of sending delega-
ton to the Cincinnati Convention. We
were not informed as TO who the leaders
Of the movement are, or whether they
intended to ask other portions OF the
State to be represented here. If there
is any foundation for the rumor, we
wonder the call has not appeared in the
ItsHigsncer before this, that paper
being VIGOROUSLY anti-Graut in its tenn

TURN Our, LADrEs.-Passjng along
Main street, our attention was attracted
by the crowds Of ladies thronging in
the dry goods house Of Messrs. En-
sheimer & Blum. Wondering what
was going on, we entered this establish,
ment and found ourself in place resem
bling very much bee hive. Here we no
ticed how much cheap goods are appre
ciated, but we were less surprised when
we learned the low prices Of those
beautiful dress goods, silks, japanese
suitings, shswls, and the like. Ascend
ing to the second floor, we found those
beautiful ready made suits for ladies
and children in inexhaustibe variety
and did not wonder why the ladies were
so anxious in making selections when
a suit made Of the best material and in
the latest fashion is sold here at about
the cost OF the material alone. But we
cannot stop to enumerate all the great
bargains offered by this house, but we
simply ask you to call on Messrs.
Emsheimer d Blum while out shopping
to-day.

CLEANING UP.-We are glad to see
that the notice given By the Health
officer and Street Commissioner. mott
tying our citizens to clean up their
premises is being very generally com.
piled with. "An ounce Of prevention
is worth a pound of cure says the
adage, and it is only by remarkable
cleanliness that we can hope to escape
epidemic disease during the coming
summer. Itisgratifying to observe that
the Street Commissioner. while he
gives notice, accepts it for himself, and
has a force Of men cleaning the streets in
a thorough and efficient manner. This
is as it should be.

Well bet Cog button against the

Nor AccRPrED.-Last night Thomas
OBrieu, member OF the Second Branch
Of Council from the Third ward, offered
his resignation as q member of that
body, which was promptly laid on the
table. Mr.. o Brien having removed his
family temporarily to the country, it was
thought BY some that he had thereby
lost his residence in the city, and he
therefore felt it his duty to offer his
resignation. The Second Branch acted
vieely in refusing to accept it, as Mr..
OBrien still transacts business in the
city, and has his family in
the country temporarily, proposing to
move them to the city again in the fall.
Mr.. O'Brien is too good and efficient =
member Of Council to be permitted to
retire without for better reasons.

SECRETARY OF AMERICAN S. s. UNION,
TO Mason AND HAMLIN.-In the numer-
Gus Sunday School Conventions and
Institutes which / attend, / generally
find some profitable reed instrument,
good or bad, old or new. The Mason
and Hamlin are the sweetest.toned, the
most manageable, and, even when bear
ing the mark Of age, the most reliable,
and least likely toget out Of order. The
advantages Of the automatic swell are
not approached by the swell arrange
ments OF any other make ofinstruments.
Having used the Mason and Hamlin
instruments in my home for over fifteen
wears, ! should consider it great
calamity to be without one.

The Directors of the Andes Nail

lug at Town Hall on Saturday the 2otb
of April. The meeting was called TO
order, and presided over BY Preslde' I
Clark. The members Of the Board
being all present, the question OF pro
ceeding Immediately to the erection OF
the necessary buildings, was tt ken up
but after considerable consult 'tion
over the matter, it was found that q
very strong feeling existed in favor o.
putting up first a smelling furnace, but
the directors, did not feel like taking
the responsibility Of 80 important a steE
without first consulting the stockhold
ers. And another important question
was sprung, namely, the importance o
increasing the capital stock to 100000
hence the propriety ofcalllng the stock
holders together to consult on these
matters. So q meeting OF the stock
holders was called for next Saturday
at the Town Hall at three o'clock P

holders and all others who desire Il
