price paid by our enterprIsiHg merchants
is putting a smile Of cheerfulnsss and vigor
on the face Of trade. Even last Saturday
was busy day, notwithstanding the con-
slant rain. The streets were crowded with
men and boys, and there were visible signs
Of an exchange OF 'tgreenbacks." In the
evening John Barleycorn rendered few Of
the young men from the country a little
"obstreperous." Beware, young men, he

of the room quietly or else forfeit his life.
She then searched him and let him co.
such GOODNESS and bravery are not found in

been on hand to assist in any public enter
prise for the good of the country.
The Institute is being pushed to "rapid''
completion by the energetic and scientific
workman in charge, Mr.. Jones, who seems
