very pleasantly, the audience ENJOYING the
fine music of the post band and the daring
trapeze performance of Emery and Dear

A NEW PATENT SPRING BED.
MeSsrs. Weakley Il Warren, the popular
furniture manufacturers and dealers, not
satisfied with having placed on exhibition
the most elegant display Of fine furniture
ever manufactured in this section of the
country, have recently added a new attrac-
ton in the shape Of a patent spring bed,
that is destined to take precedence over all
others, for cheapneSs, comfort and durabil-
ity. 1t possesses many advantages over any
other spring bed in the market. II is noise
less, and can be easily adjusted to any
bed, while the price is probably from one
third to onehalf cheaper than any similar
invention. II can be taken apart in few
minutes, and put together again in the
same length Of time, and is thus easily
cleaned, or packed for moving. There is
no possible chance for it to become infested
with bugs, as it is so constructed as to leave
no place for their Judgment. This in itself
is a great point in its favor. One of these
spring beds will last through generations.
and can be easily and quickly fitted
to any bed. The springs are so ar
ranged that they can be adjusted
for heavy and light persons In the same bed,
and person weighing one hundred pounds
can rest rs easy aud enjoy all the comforts
equal to his companion, who weighs four
hundred pounds. This is 4 feature pos
sesSed by no othsr paLent, and ellualizes be-
tween the six foot four and the four foot
six.
The price Of this really useful article has
been placed at four dollars, and the prOpri-
etOrs guarantee perfect satisfaction TO pur-
chasers, and express willingness to refund
the money to any person who is dissatis-
fed at any time with his purchase. They

The public are respectfully invited to ex-
anime this new springfield thoroughly, and
judge for themselves whether it is not all
claimed for it by the manufactures.
