The press of the country are making impss-

DEAR ADVOCATE The Ku-Kluk

fifty six applications for work of any
kind. This was undoubtedly an extra

a musical place as this is, such determ.

wonders here; indeed folks would not
growl at being subjected to even a green

Cyo,pp.-Tvo deatbs from cholera

CHoLERA.-Two deaths from cholera
occurred yesterday. Samuel Arbu:h.
not, of the First Ward, was taken i'll
with choleraic symptoms at 10 a. m.
on Wednesday, and died at o'clock
yesterday morning. Michael Carr, Of
South Wheeling, was taken sick at 9
o'clock Wednesday night and died at
one o'clock yesterday afternoon. Each
of this is said to have been well de-
fined case Of cholera.
In view Of the return Of this dreaded
disorder it is incumbent upon our citi~
zens to use every precaution against
the spread OF the disease. Careful at.
tention to diet and cleanliness, and the
copious use OF disinfectants are recon
mended. Let every citizen avoid
alarm and equally avoid irregularities
in the mode OF living. Discard all
stale vegetables and see that your per-
soDs and your premises are kept clean.
With these precautions there is little
danger of the Cholera becoming epi-
demic.

THE FINEST SrocS EVER SEEK IN

The FINEST STOCK EVER SEEN IN
Misunderstanding occasion, yester-
day, to call at the Merchant tailoring
house OF Thomas Hughes g. Co., core
ner of Twelfth and Water streets, our
attention was attracted by some En-
glish cassimeres lying on the counter,
their great beauty, fineness and style,
far surprising anything we ever saw.
We voluntarily went into an investiga-
ton OF the stock, and we state without
fear of successful contradiction, tbatthere
is no house west OF New York or Phil-
adelphia, that is carrying a larger,
bandsomer or more stylish stock OF
goods for gentlemen's wear than this
of Thomas Hughes & Co. The styles
are all new, and there ia an absence
of the loud" or stunning" pat
terms and fashions that shows a cultiv.
ated taste and care in their selection OF
goods that in only born of long ex.
perience.
The Pantsloon patterns, Vestiugs and
Coatipgs of Eoglish and French manu-
facture, have doubtless never been
equaled IN beauty. They are quiet gene
teel and stylish, but wondrously rich in
appearance, and just the goods gentle
man Of cultivated and elegant taste
would select for his own wear. The
Overcoatings, too. are superb in STYLE
and richness. The line OF goods OF
American manufacture are superior to
anything of the kind We have ever seen
in Wheeling. We don't know how
Messrs. Thomas Hughes d Co, will
take this unsolicited notice OF their rich
stock OF fall style goods, nor do we care
a great deal. We are talking for the
benefit of our readers, not the firm, and
we advile all who desire such suit OF
clothes as a gentleman should wear to
examine this stock, and especially the
English pantaloon stuffs, and the
French vestings. Not man can see
the goods without saying as we do,
nothing like them was ever before seen
in Wheeling.
