speciality of nothing except selling the
best goods at the lowest figures.

the office, the Doctor can be found at
No. Spring street, up stairs.

We call attention to Mr.. Hoban's
advertisement in to-day's issue. lie
brings the highest recommendation
from the State institution for the ed
ucation of the blind at Oakland, as 9
worthy young man, and of great ar
tistic skill. 1t is proverbial all over
the world that graduates OF such lnstl-
tutions are noted for their skillful ano
artistic workmanship in willow work
Although Mr.. Hoban is partially
blind, he does not claim patronage
through sympathy, but from deseru
ana merit. Let the ladies and our cit
izens generally give him call ant
encourage new, noble enterprise
one that should succeed. AS we have
before said. "there is no place in the
country where such an establishment
is demanded more than in this willow
growing valley"
