New Hampshire Merchants.

The 6.15 train over the Ogdensburg road last
night brought party of merchants from
Littleton, Whitefeld, Bath and Lisbon, N. II.
There are a number of ladies with them, and
the party number $50 persons. They are at the
Preble, where they will remain until Saturday,
when they return by the same route. The
object Of their visit is to become acquainted
with our business men with view to coming
here in the future. At the present arrange
ments, goods can be carried from here to
Lttleton for 20 cents per hundred cheaper than
from Boston there. In consequence of this
fact they are very anxious to trade with our
merchants if they can buy goods as cheap here
as in Boston. Forty four of the party are
business men from Littleton, and judging from
their talk, they mean business. Lttleton is a
smart, wide-awake village Of $500 inhabitants,
and has the trade of the mountains fo- miles
around. Its extensive manufactures of scythes,
iron castings, starch and leather make it quite
a commercial village. During their stay here
they propose TO 60 out to Old Orchard take a
sail in the harbor and spend the remainder of
the time in visiting our merchants at their
places of business.
We would suggest that it would be advisable
for our merchants to call upon them, as they
are willing to talk on the matter which most
interests every business man at present. An
invitation is to be extended to them to visit
Merchants Exchange.

ART NoTEs.-In Schumacher gallery are
to be found several works from the easel of Mr..
Ordway, the Boston artist, who is now visiting
this city. The sketches are of Old Orchard,
Cape Elizabeth and Presumpscot river scenery,
Of the many merits of these pictures it is sufi.
Gent to call attention to, one,-their fidelity.
Mr.. Ordway believes in using his eyes, and
does not after the prevalent fashion, paint all
his skies of the glorious splendor so seldom
seen, or battle every insignificant hillock in the
purple haze which distance lends to mountain
peaks, or give to all his autumns the royal
pomp of rare October day,or paint his mead
ows and his foliage with more than English
vividness of green. The pictures will repay
careful study by all who have taste for the
genuine in art

PRINTERS TEXT Book The advertising
agency of Horace Dodd has issued handsome
volume which Charles Lamb no doubt would
have classed among the books which are no
books, but which those interested in the typo
graphic art will nevertheless find very useful
1t is ''Printers' Text Book" showing speci-
mems of wood and metal type, brass rules &C.,
and the prices for every article necessary for
printers use. The aim has been to afford in a
condensed form, as great an amount of infor-
nation in as small space as possible, This aim
has certainly been met, as glance at the con-
densed price list, ian excellent feature by the
Way will show. The book contains great
amount of information and specimens are
given of all the styles of metal and wood type
in use The typographical execution of the
volume merits high praise.
