BEAUTIES OF SUsPENsIoN.--An incident
that occurred in Cincinnati the other day. ii!
illustrates the beauties of suspension as a par
manent policy. A poor man called at prl-
vate banking Office, and presented his check
for $300,his balance. The banker Instantly
paid it, in that free and easy manner which
has been established 10 that city that is he
wrote the word Good and his name across
the face The poor man objected that that
would do him no good that he was 10 urgent
need Of the money which made the banker
smile with great amusemen. The Toor man
turned sadly away, but before he had closed
the door, the banker beokoned him back
He guessed he could let him have the mon
ey at premium of two per cent When 1t
is considered that it was the deposi.or's own
money that he was thus offering to sell him
at two per cent. premium, one is moved to
lift ones hat in token Of respecS to the hnan-
cial genius of Cincinnati.

The Springfield (11.) Journal undertakes
to describe some member of Congress from
life, and here is the picture ::
A gentleman Of very moderate means Is,
elected to Congress. He remains there for
few years, and what are the results? An
elegant mansion in Washington, splendid
turnout, lveried servant looking like an
African zouave a fashionable family, and
great wealth. Take the lamp of old Diogo-
nese and look in on .his man, and he will
be found to be STEPPED to the lips in corr
porate roitenpess, and the miserable glided
tool of rapacious monepolies. All may be
summed up in few words: he had talents,
power, and position : he was valued, and &C
cepted the price Of his appraisal.

THEY MUST HAVE IT.
Gabriel Hirsh g CO.,

Stanton and vicinity to open 6rst-class

nation to please the people, and have therefore
leased the splendid store room of James A. Pr

now opening a very superior assortment of

They propose to keep on hand everything IN this

UPHOLsTERING AND PAPER HANGING
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 fromrthe expressed wish of many of Ca
briel Hirshs old friends and customers, and the
conviction that the increasing demands of our
growing population require it, they expect to be
Hberally encouraged.
Their charges will be moderate and just. They
want nothing for what they do not give the

We desire to express our appreciation of the
liberal patronage bestowed upon us during the
last two years by generous public. Our bust
ness firm being made up principally of strang-
.ers, from distance, we had no reason
to expect the patronage of the community of
our adoption. except so far as It was founded
upon determination to make our work compare
fsvorably in price aud quality. with that of first
class city shops and conviction that by so do
ing we would merit and obtain a large. share of
th.t class of work, which has not heretofore been
undertaken in this section, but which had to be
brought from The cities The result has proved
the reasonableness of our expectations, and en-
courages us to press forward with renewed ener-
~. and with ever increasing and charging IA
scilities
We invite an inspection of our shops by those
contemplating the purchase of machinery.
We endeavor to make all our purchases for
sash. and having limited amount of capital, we
are consequently compelled TO require cash or
negotiable note, at short time, for all work.

erty of referring to the following gentlemen,
