This department is fully defined by the follow
ing:
GREETING--Money, if you desire
it Read.
A penny saved is three-pence earned.
This good, old, true maxim appeals with pecu-
liar force to an honest, industrious people, who
have left the embarrassment of old associations,
to find a happy home in this reg ion of beautiful
sunshine, pure health and bountiful harvests. a
home here is indeed worthy the laborer's toll and
secured with small means by well-drected in
du5try and frugality. Ii is not the two-pence
nor the three-pence earned; but the one penny
saved that makes sure this glorious inheritance.
OF what We herein propose to speak, We do
know full well, qualified by years of industrious
experience in the most acute scathing cauldron of
eastern commercial strife, we have felt compe
tent to appreciate the requireme Is of an intellI-
gent people who, coming to this beautiful land,
burning the bridge behind them, have grasped
their own destrny-planted here their own fig
tree and here will eat its fruits and repose in its
shadows.
Confiding in the wisdom, prudence aud energy
OF such people, we have constructed, at large
expense, stOre-room so vast and complete in
elegance and appointment as to have been termed
by some of small and narrow faith "a wild chi
mera.' Its appointments are specifc-its pur-
poses, a common good-devoted 10 a fair and
equitable dry goods business, founded on the
modern principle of square dealings and just
values.
To this end-with extraordinary care. under the
most favored circumstances, we have purchased
from the largest and best jobbing houses of the
world, as well as of the best and most approved
manufacturers of the country, an abundant stock
OF the most desirable makes and fabrics, of staple
and fancy goods, embracing the new shades and
tints in dres goods, running into every depart
ment of stock with all the new and interesting
novelties Of the season, for each and every de-
partment, consistent, in our judgment, with the
wants and requirements of our people.
Our respective departments are
PRINTS,
DRESS-GOODS.
FLANNELS,
DOMEsTICs,
NOTIONS,
HOSIERY,
TRIMMINGS,
LACE AND EMBROIDERY,
CLOAKS AND SHAWLS,
FURNISHING GOODS,
HATS AND CAPS, /
Ladies and Gentleman's Boots & Shoes
Mems and Boys Clothing, Carpets.
Window Tapestry, ETC., etc.
These goods are bought for immediate sales, as
it is our future purpose TO give good attention to
our Commercial Department Our stock Will ev-
err be new, fresh and changing with the tide Of
fashion, and sold as low AS any legitimate retail
house on the continent. Jobbing orders filed at
equitable discounts-to those who would save the
pence.
We cordially extend every citizen and visitor
an invitation to call in upon us and examine for
themselves. Respectfully yours,

Joseph Gordello who, p few days since,
was adjudged ipsans and ordered to be
taken TO the Woodbridge Asylum, was
released from the county Jail yesterday,
and is now Ia charge of his friends.
Gordello is member of the Masonic
fraternity, and a committee composed Of
members of our local lodge succeeded in
having Judge Cole withdraw his order of
commitments. and allow them to assume
charge over the unfortunate man. Dur
ing the past few days he has shown evil

his friends are of the opinion that with

Tux Coyorz-ScALr BoUSrr Law
SAYS the Silver State OF Jan. 20:
A law was enacted by the Legislature
for the examination of noxious animals.
Under its provisions the bounty on coy
ote was increased to one dollar and fifty
cents each. 'fhe bounty has led to a
general crusade against the prowler OF
the desert. wh,Gh bids flir to extermin-
ate that class OF animals. Almost daily
certificates from Justices Of the Peace in
different paris Of the county are being
filed IN the Clerks Office. for the bounty
on scaips. Since the last meeting Of the
Commissions, some four weeks ago,
certificates for over two hundred scalps
have been filed. As the COYOTES are
diminished, rabbits, which are their
natural prey, increase. until they have
become more detrimental TO the country
than the coyote. have been. 1t is re-
markable that the Indians scarcely ever
kill coyote, notwithstanding the
bounty incentive to do SO. They have
a supersticious regard for these animals.
and before the whites come among
them they never killed one.
