NONE LARGE ENoUGH.-A gentleman
OF this county got wet in a recent rain, and
called at a store to purchase a shirt. None
could be found large enough, nor could one
be found in the city; and the gentleman
was forced to get down by Darkroom fire
and dry his shirt before starting home. He
says that he wants no better evidence Of
the degeneTacy Of The human species, than
the size Of the shirts now being manufac-
tured. One to fit him would have to be cut
by a cotton bale.
How He SNGS.-A young politician
Of this city, whose aspirations for ebay
seed arc sublime, and whose affections for
the Changers and their cause, Is truly
touching. Sings thusly:
''The hickory berry vine entwines
The brown nuts OF the turnip tree;
The cashmere heifer skips and plays
To the tInefll bleat of the feathery bee.
On tall boushs mid the buckwheat buds
We hear the low of the tinny plover.
While the bay bull hitched TO the running
scythe
Husks out the golden clover"
DRESS GOODS Of every variety; u large
lot sor Corsets, of the most approved pat
terAs, and fine assortment OF Kid Gloves,

BIsnor QUISTARD..Tho visitation Of
this distinguished divine TO st. Luke's
Parish, in this city, on Saturday and sun
day last, was an occasion Of deep interest
TO the Parish. New life was instilled into
the religious work OF the Parish by the
eloquent, earnest, and impressive words Of
the Bishop, and he left with HIS people
rich food for meditation. His sermons on
the occasion were able and eloquent, re-
plete with sound truths, happy illustra-
tons and practical religion. Twelve per-
sons were confirmed on Sunday night at
which time the Church was filed to its
utmost capacity. We but give utterance to
very general wish of this community
when we hope that the Bishop will visit
us moro frequently.
SPRING ARRIvAL.-A splendid lot of
Men and Boys Clothing, Boots, Shoes,
Hats, and Gents Furnishing goods, cheap
err than ever before offered, just received at
STEWART & OLIVER'S
APPLICATION FOR CHARTER.-A COM
pany OF prominent citizens have filed

jackson Water orks Company" to be

ID. NJ. Wisdom, James w. Anderson, John
Y. Keith, Robert B. Hurt, w. X. Walsh,

W. Conger and James O'Connor. Messrs.
Blair Il Talbot are the Solicitors. The
names embraced in this petition guarantee
the success of the great enterprise in which
they have become interested.
WE ARE HAPrY.-Our advertising pat
ronage was never so general, so large, or so
profitable. Our friends OF many years, in
the large cities, are still showeriRg their
favors on us in spite of the evil predictions
of some who make themselves unhappy
about It. We call attention to the new ad-
VeItiscmcnts in this issue with pride, as
well as pleasure; and especially do we com
mend their 2erusal to those whose predic-
| tions and hopes, like Mr.. F.'s aunt, Of Lon
don fame, are always premature aud out of
place. We are perfectly happy, barring the
unattainable desire OF our hearts to pro-
mote the felicity Of Mr.. F.'s aunt, and sich
like.
Col JOIN MoFFITT.-This distinguish.
cd lecturer upon Temperance, addressed a
very good audience at Tomlin's Hall on
Tuesday night. Col. NJ has evidently Civ.
en- his subject close thought, and heats it in
a novel and instructive manner. He seeks
to persuade rather than to denounce, and is
intensely human in his sympathieS. In adj
dition to al this, the lecturer Is profoundly
Impressed with the Importance Of the
work in which he is engaged, and his
words bear the mint marks of sincerity
His aTpeal to professed Christians in be-
half OF the temperance lodge, as a nursery
and recruiting ground for the church, wa:
in our opinion unSnswcrable. Col d can
not fail to do great good wherever he aP
pears in public.
Down He WENT AND OUT He WENT
As officer II. Il. Taylor entered the Station
House at noon on Tuesday, to feed tn,
prisoners. the notorious Rube Shaw, one o
the incarceratod, rushed upon him knock
ing him East, West, and crooked, and Int
orally ran over him making good his escape
notwithstanding the lusty cries Of tn
officer and a few random shots from hi
repeater The story OF officer Tay
, mIshap may be thus epitomized-dOwl
he went (the officer Rand out he went In
prisencr.) Ever since then officer TaylO
= looks as if he had been feeding entirely O
vinegar, aud contemplating the snggc.tiv
eyolutions of half dozen buzz saws.
