up the recollections which II Is both holy and
wholesome to embalm in our memories. In
our household treasures. Long live Wildt
We beg to introduce him with our best COM
mendatiors as n benefactor OF his race.
WILLIAM G. DANDRlDGE s. Co., 127 Broad
street. Could those who bad feasted on
Christmas upon the good things that were
bought at this store-the buckwheat, the
yenison, the sweet butter. the good things
of all kinds-rise up, they would form an
army. And still the old firm is lively, and
still it tenders the public the tenderest,
soundest, and sweetest of things suited for
the season.
ADAMS. 623 Broad street. Here we have
another dealer in fancy goods, trimmings,
hair-braids, curls, jet and gold-plated jew
elry, &c. OF course everybody will be rum
ming TO Adans's, who announces that he
means to quit business. What forf We
regret the announcement. Is Richmond
Paradise: And if it is, does it follow that
Adams must be driven from her borders:
lie has n great many good things, and should
not be forced to sacrifice them, whatever he
may be forced to do. So, ladies and gentle
men. here is q case for you. Adams adrcr-
tises what you may want, and il you 60 and
buy it why you may induce ineal descend
ant Of our great forelather to stay quietly
where he is and continue bis very useful
branch Of industry. See Adams's stock.
F. J. REILLY, 1871 Main street, advertises
"hquors for the holidays" II is not SUR
prising. The name is fatal. Reilly, is it?
Well, then, faith am I'd like to see ye get out
o Reilly's clutches unScathed. In looking at
Reilly's advertisement we could not but
think of the case Of the condemned man who
warned the crowd as they went to the hang
ing that there would be no fun till he got
there! Nor will there be great deal until
the things Reilly offers for Christmas revels
arrive. We disdain to recite the list Of the
divil's own:' See Reilly's advertisement.
Anybody who can read it "widout" see
ing - hot whiskey punch " not far of is very
blind.
KIDD, III Broad street. Kidd conquers
US. He commences with uenison. Where
is catalogue so beginning to end: we
know not. Certainly" "pure peach brandy"
is not coming down much But when Kidd
comes down to "Atmore's mince-meat," !"
why, We beg leave TO say that it is IL bad
ending to good beginning. Kidd is not
Every body keeps it-that is, everybody who

country we would transport Atmorc at once.
Well, well if people can stand Atmore we
suppose we must So we subside.
We can say that Kidd keeps excellent

it. Here's to you, Kidd, in peach aud
honey.
GEORGE A. HUNDLEY. The commissary
department is mastering strong. HundIey
rciuiorces the providers of the solids for the
feast of the 25th. He keeps very good
things, including Atmorc's mince.mcat,
about which we don't intend to mince words.
But we are done. Only look at Hundley's s
stores, and we are. sure you'll profit thereby.
w. Ii. TATuM, Ola Broad street. Our
friend Tatum is most moderately temperate.
He begins with sweet cider and ends with
"hard," not to mention finishing of of
New Orleans moasscS. But the seeker for
good things should not think that there are
not other things indispensable to the day in
Tatum'S store. He has much In the shade
that will help toipromote the comfort of
people at this season. But even on hard
cider fair testvity has in time been cnsi-
neercd in New England, as we are informed,
by the juhilant order OF a young gentleman
in sleigh: Landlord, give lis pint of
| cider; L started out for fun, and Ell be
darned to darnation if / don't have it,"
