one fancy articles designed for the entertain
ment Of the young. Indeed, the stranger, on
entering the store, is met with such an array
such variety Of everything that goes to
make home happy and establish The comfort
of the domestic circle, that it is truly bewil-
dering where first to feast the eye Every
available space is occupied with something
new, novel and tempting, while the willing
attendance of courteous assistants, in conduct
ing cash sales on the lowest possible living
profits, invariably possesses the customer he
has, beyond doubt, abundant reasons for con-
gratulations on making the acquaintance of
so exceptional house. We sincerely regret,
however to remark that the absence OF Mr..
Stausmyer-from indisposition-has tenn
porarily created void not easily replaced
though the genial and assiduous efforts of Dr.
L. B. Myers, assures of no lack of eourtesies
and attentions to those who call. Mr.. Staus-
myer is nevertheless nicely recovering, and
will, we presume, during the holidays yet
have the pleasure of returning to duty in
good time to salute his friends, in hearty good
will, with ga merry Christmas and happy
New Year"

GRATITUDE.
The following letter speaks for itself:
Monroe. MICH. Semi. d Isl


DIR. WuFoRD, 142 st. Clair street, Toledo +,
Ohio. Dear SiT:-When one man confers II
favor upon another it is only right that thu
recipient of the favor should, in some sppro =
pirate way, express his sense Of obligation q.
This is more emphaiically the case when the
favor hasinvolved the saving Of life and tn 9
conferring of happiness.
For many years my wife has been the VIC
tim of neuralgia, dyspepsia and other difi-
tressing complaints. I obtained the aid CT
physicians at home and at distance, sparin g
neither expense, pains nor time in my effort 3
to have her health restored. 1t was all IN
vain. Although obtaining temporary relief, a
permanent cure seemed impossible, and SD e
became more and more emaciated from iII-
tense suffering. She was at length complete
Iy prostrated. Having been informed OF your
success in the treatment of chronic diseases, l
obtained your aid, and the result has been the
complete restoration of Mrs. Brown to health.
She is now able to give personal supervision
to domestic affairs and enjoys better health
than she has since childhood.
Mrs Brown wishes me TO express to you
her gratitude for what you have done for her,
nd cheerfully join with her in thanking
aou for tho inestimable favor you have con-
v rred.
feYou are at liberty to use this letter as you
think proper. Yours, very gratefully,

SANTA CLAUS HEADQUARTERS
Finest Assortment of Christmas
Goods in the City-ToYs, Games
and Decorations by the Thousand
Christmas and New Year Gifts in
Endless Profusion.

We have once more entered upon the last
month Of another year, and Christmas, with
its endless charming associations is again
closely at hand. Relatives and friends are al
ready musing over the approaching inter
change of familiarities and kindly recogni-
tions of regards so characteristic Of this holi-
day season. Hence we venture to anticipate
the natural interest that will attach to q brief
comment on where to find the most attractive,
diversified and absolutely monster display of
all that is useful, novel and charming to every
age and condition of society. Resolved, with
his accustomed energy and enterprise, that
Fremont shall in this particular play no "sec-
ond fiddle" to larger cities, our old and tried
citizen, Mr.. G. R. MoCULLooH, has laid in an
immense stock-regardless of expense-and is
prepared to submit variety of goods in the
above line that even Toledo, with all its
Vaunted boast, wholesale or retail, can not ex-
eel either in quality, price or variety. Indeed
we are convinced, from personal inspection,
that those who fail to visit this extensive ar
ray of all that is beautiful will also undoubt-
edly indulge in the disadvantage of going
farther to fare worse. In the way of presents
there are magnificent, ladies' work boxes,
dressing cases, card cases, companions, fancy
sets, &o., gentlemen's desks, cigar cases, orna-
mental ink stands, secretaries, &C., and an
endless variety Of brilliantly illuminated al
buns, books and other articles adapted to
either sex for presentation, besides large as
sortment of beautifully prepared perfumes in
sets, cases, or satchets. For children there is,
In word, everything. We know not where
to commence should we attempt to enumerate
even 1.-THE. From buggies, carriages and
huge lady-like attired dolls, to the most insig-
nihcent trumpet there is all that even the
spoiled child's fertile mind could desire to cry
for, while in Christmas tree decorations, IN
cluding miniature candles, candle sticks, Ian
terms and the thousand little beautiful adorn-
ments usually sought after are all fully repre-
sented. The only difficulty that presented it
self to us was how it would be possible for any
enc to make choice, notwithstanding it was
possible to purchase SO many things for so lit
tie money-Mr. MoCULLooH having consid-
cred the scarcity of money at the present time
by favoring his customers with prices marked
to the nersst profit, that they may not have to
distress themselves to look elsewhere for what
they can purchase better and cheaper at home.
Our readers will do well to give an early call,
and we feel assured their appreciation of Mr..
MoCULLooH's enterprise will result in an ex-
tensive indulgence Of the exceptional advan-
tages he offers to ali who may favor him with
a visit.

Abundant Provision for Christmas
Everything Essential to Make the
Season Happy.

at season like the present no store is
more worthy of special notice than that which
yields the staple commodities of life and is
equally appointed with every speciality and
luxury the palate can desire. Though it is
the Wanted boast Of every tradesman that he
presides over the best establishment of its
kind in the city, there can be but one best, and
if we may be permitted to remark it, from
what We have seen, probably the palm may
be yielded in Fremont-so far as groceries,
provision and general ware is concerned-to
our neighbors,
sTAUsARTRR CO., OF FRONT ST.
They have unsparingly laid in abundance
of the best-display a little of everything
while the arrangement and tidy appearance of
their store is at once AatteriDg to the firm,
and assuring to their patrons of a thorough
desire and competency to give general salts
faction. In fine groceries they keep the
choicest in the market-their teas and coffees
being of the finest favor, pure, and sought
after by customers far beyond the limits of
even this or the next adjoining county. In
sugars their stock is also very heavy, and their
plain and ornamental soaps are the remark Of
everyone who trades with them. Nor are
they less prepared with the choicest brands of
Aour-an exceptional quality OF fne cheese'
sugar-cured hams, salt beef, eggs, and fresh

IN MEMORIAM.
Unprecedented Advantages in Tomb
Stones, Monuments, Mantels,
Shelves, &c, in all the Various
Grades of Marble.

There are few who have not, at some period
of life, experienced desire to manifest their
sympathy and regard for departed relative
or friend by erecting to their memory some
suitable recognition over the grave. And
yet, cognizant Of the usual expense of such an
indulgence lack Of means necssitated them
to forego the privilege of performing so fitting
duty. To such, the following information
will unquestionably come most welcome. Mr..
l. w. BosTWIoK, of the famous UNION MAR
BILE WoRKs, NorWalk, having to remove his
large and magnificent collection Of designs in
marble, consisting of monuments, tombstones,
mantels, shelves, &c-to admit of a much
finer block of stores being erected on the site
of his present works-has resolved that in
stead of running the risk of breakage, expense
and inconvenience, that he will give the pub
lie the full benefit of unprecedented bargains
by offering, from this day heneeforth, the
whole of his immense stock at five to ten per
cent. below former prices, with an additional
advantage of five per cent. for cash down. Or,
should it be preferred, he will take approved
bills bearing the usual interest to January,
1876; less cash discount. We have personally
investigated the matter and feel no hesitation
in pronouncing this an opportunity never be-
fore equalled in this section, and the equal to
which may never again occur. This offer
only holds good till the spring, and it is highly
essential that no time be lost in securing the
cation. Mr.. BosTwIoK's large and beautiful
selection of work is too extensively known
and appreciated to require any eulogism from
us, but those who fail to avail themselves Of
this unprecedented opportunity will assuredly
have the utmost occasion for regret. Mr.. B.
means all he states-is gentleman Of unim-
peachable integrity-and We are confident
will more than astonish those who may favor
him with their patronage.

PALMER & HILL, WHOLESALE
CONFECTIONER5, TOLEDO.
Magnificent Display of Christmas
Tree Decorations-Candie &c.

If there is any truth in the old maxim that
enterprise and prosperity go hand in hand"
no measured degree of success awaits the lib
| eral investment made this season by the above
popular firm, who conduct an extensive man
ufacturing and wholesale confectionery bus
mess on the corner of Summit and Oak streets,
Toledo. Resolved that no one in this section
shall feel necessitated to resort to Eastern
markets for a supply OF goods in their line Of
business, PALMER & HILL have secured, re-
gardless of outlay, the most brilliant and fas-
cinating assortment OF Christmas tree decors-
tons and New Year gifts ever witnessed in
Toledo; the same being imported direct
from Paris, and which are now showing in
endless profusion to the admiration Of hun
dreds who daily resort thither to inspect them.
We, in common with others, had recently
the pleasure of witnessing the glittering scene,
and unhesitatingly assert our conviction Of
never having before beheld anything near SO
attractive and charming. Among the numer-
ous lovely articles on exhibition are quite q
number of various sized angels with real hair
and blowing trumpets while lowering with
fNpping WingS, cupids, fairies, birds, &c. !;
boxes, music folios, satchets, pin cushions,
needle books, and other useful ornaments in
bright colored satins, leather glass and other
textures, besides no end Of highly embellished
nick-nacks equally serViceabls as beautiful
and prominently adapted for presentations
or keepsakes to children or adults. In addi-
ton they have prepared everything new and
luscious in the way of candies-Eupplied by
the pound or box and dispatched promptly to
any railroad address, c. o. D. Indeed, those
desirous of spending "a merry Christmas and
happy new year." cannot afford to overlook
this splendid display, which will be found to
yield everything neat, sweet, and serviceabls
at prices consOnant with the stringency OF
money at tLis season.
