alone can the State be saved from the
ruin and desolation which must result

OHlo CITY.-The work OF construc-
ton having actually commenced
and being vigorously pushed forward
on the new Steel Works and also the
Ohio City Iron and Nail Works, it does
not surprise us to learn that real estate
is moving upward in value in Martins
Ferry. and yet our former townsman,
William Clark, Esq, with his COM
mendable liberality, has laid out por-
ton OF his Avondale Home in town
lots, eligible to the works above re,
ferred to, and affordipg inducements for
imme diate improvement rarely pre-
scented. His advertisement, in another
column, will further explain. 1t is de-
sirable that all who want homes OF their
own, especially rolling-mill operatives,
that they attend the sale, on Saturday
morning next, and secure building lot
at their ovn price. The lots will be
sold at auction, to the highest bidder,
and in order that this splendid property
may not get into the hands of epecu-
lators, 90 early and get the first choice.

In At tue great suit manutaCtOry hnu
dry goods house Of /. Blum & Bro,
No. 1874 Main street, on yesterday, and
were greatly astonished at what we saw
in the way of beautiful dress goods that
are being sold here at less than the
same goods can be landed for in New
York, and the great amount Of work
that this firm is doing in the way Of man.
ufacturing suits or ladies' under gar
ments.
When the season opened this firm
ployed but four dressmakers with their
sewing machines. Now they have
twenty-four working girls, and the busy
hum OF the sewing machines makes the
work room seem a perfect bee hive,
filled with industrious occupants. And
the rapidity with which they make
ladies suit is almost marvellous. Each
one of the workwomen have their al
loted part. Here hem, there gusset,
yonder skirt, and in another place the
braiding. With a touch that seems like
magic the valuable and costly fabric is
put together. and what few
hours before was on the shelves
for eale has passed into 8
beautiful garh to adorn some
lovely female form. The demand for
ready made suits is increasing daily,
our ladies are learning that the work
is made in better style and with more
exactness to the requirements OF fashion
at such establishments as this OF | Blum
& Bro, and at far less cost than it can
be done at their own residences, and
the result is that the lady OF wealth
and fashion, equally with the lady of
lesser means. are leaving orders for
their dresses.
This great store is divided into apart.
ments or sections. On the first floor is
the salesroom, where can be purchased
some of the most elegant goods ever
imported, and at prices so low as to
bring the finest fabrics within the reach
of all. An examination Of the dress
goods, shawls, laces, collars, muslins
&c, will satisfy any of our readers Of
the truth OF what we here assert, that
the best quality OF goods can be pur-
chased at ]. Blum & Bros, at lower
prices than the same quality can be
bought for in New York.
Tbesecond story is devoted to measur'
ing, for fitting and display Of suits,
Llama point laces, handsome summer
shawls, and goods Of like kind. And
the display is very beautiful too. This
room is visited daily by great numbers
Of ladies, who 60 to chat and see the
newest fashions.
The third story is the work room,
and it lie, as we have said, very bee
hive, where the buz, hum and rattle OF
the sewing machines, going faster than
the tongues Of those having them in
charge, is heard all day; the cutting
table where the talented lady who has
the matter in charge, forms the many
varieties Of goods entrusted to her into
fashionable and handsome garments in
o brief a time az to seem like magic.
But we cannot be expected to tell all
about this establishment in one brief
newspaper article. Let our lady read
ers call at the store Of I. Blum & Bro,
Themselves, and they will be astonished
at the beauty and cheapness OF goods,
and the yspidity, satisfactory snd
handsome manner in which suits are
manufactured.
