MisceJLnm eOMS.

having been solicited by numerous friends Of
Staunton and vicinity to open frst-class
House-FtlrnisIping Establishment
in the city, have concluded to follow their incli-
nation to please the people, and have therefore
leased the splendid store room of James A. Pr
per, on New street, near Virginia Hotel, and are
now opening very superior assortment Of
CARPETS, MATING, WALL PAPERS,
CURTAINS, sc.
They propose to keep on hand everything in this
line in abundant quantities and varieties, SO as
to be able to meet any demand, however large or
small. They will keep for sale, also, Mirrors,
from the costliest to the cheapest Gilt Mould
ings, &C., and will carry on the
UPROLSTERING AND PAPER HANG ING
business, having employed for this purpose, Mr..
GEORGE W. HEwETT, one of the most finished and
superior workmen in the United States. They
will, also, do all kinds of Furniture Repairing,
such as re seating sofas, chairs, &c.
Having been induced to enter into this new
business from the expressed wish of many of Ga
briel Hirsh's old friends and customers, and the
conviction that the increasing demands of our
growing population require it, they expect to be
literally encouraged.
Their charges will be moderate and just. They
want nothing for what they do not give the
equivalent, and the reputation Of the head of the
concern for fair dealing, will justify the public
in their expectations to have frst-class House
of this kind, where the wants of our people in
this respect can be supplied. june 12-tf

WOODEN PAVEMENT OUT WEST.

And now ST. Louis has voted wooden
pavements failure-if not nuisance.
The Mayor of that city, in message to
the Common Council, embodies the re-
suits of twelve years trial of this kind
of pavement. He says the fact is clear
ly shown that wooden pavements are
not suited to streets used by heavy traf-
fic, and it is expensive under any cir
cumstances. He says that the average
wear of such pavement is six years.
and the cost of repairing 10 one dollar
and half per linsal foot. In Phila lei
phia the wooden pavement averages on
ly three or four years, and is voted to
be comparatively worthless. In Pitts
burg investigations are in progress that
are likely to result in similar verdict.
New York has long since found out that
it Is the most costly and worthless of all
kinds of pavement, and the people Of
Elizabeth will not be long in coming tc
the same conclusion.

The Brooklyn Eagle has seen fit to
make an attack on the Third regiment.
1t says the men of the Third were "a
disorderly lot of individuals at Cape
May-resembling Fallstaff's ragged ar
N.Y." This will surprise the people Of
New Jersey, who regard the Third as
one of the best uniformed and disciplin-
ed regiments in the country. No men
ever behaved better than the Third did
at Cape May, and the venom of the
Brooklyn Eagle cannot be easily ac-
counted for. Somebody in Brooklyn
must be jealous of the crack regi-
ment.

ONE of the soldiers who got off the
train Monday afternoon asked one of
our citizen where he could get drink.
The citizen, with wink, told him to
follow and he would show him where
he could get good drink. The soldier
gratefully followed until the two reach
ed the south end of the depot, when
the citizen quietly pointed TO the lump
located there. The soldier in words
more explicit than polite, informed him
that he "didn't drink that id stuff, "
and walked off in search of something
more suited to his taste, --- Vineland

For the past week. there has be,

For the past week, there has been q
scarcity of peaches in the Elizabeth
markets, owing to the fact that q
bridge has broken down somewhere in
Delaware. In consequence peach-grow-
ers have lost thousands of dollars, and
many of them have been ruined, tinan-
cially. Delaware must be slow state,
or the bridge would have have been re
paired long since. 1t it stated, how
ever, that everything is in order for a
large delivery Of peaches by tomorrow.
Since the above was in type we learn
that twenty-five car loads of peaches
passed through the city this morning.
