almost new line in this market is their
collection of field and opera glasses,
some Of which are especially handsome
and expensive. They have, likewise,
full supply Of microscopes and stere-
oscopic views, which have now become
almost a necessary article in the draw

work boxes, miniature bureaus, &C.,
their assortment is large and compre-

very full line of games, comprising

of pictures and picture frames, orna-
mental notices, brackets, fancy bask-
cts, &C., are very full and choice.

and the variety is innumerable. The
mechanical toys are sufficient of them
selves to occupy the attention Of ali the
youngsters around, several hours in the

dogs, Noah's Arks, horses, livery stables,

This community owes it to the house
of Lawrence & Co. to give them liberal
patronage for their enterprise and pub
lie spirit: They have just got their es-
tablishment 6lled and fitted up for the
holidays, and a more rare andiattractive
display Of holiday wares CAM hardly be
found even in similar establishments in
large cities. Their assortment of
bronzes comprises some very choice
pieces, amongst which are several which
are quite costly. They have, also, an
elegant collection Of statuettes in bis
cult porcelain, which are beautiful; and
we hardly ever Ssaw a finer display Of
toilet wares, vases, mantel ornaments,
ornamental cups, and other articles of
certu, in china, Dresden china, and
opaque glass. In fact, to one out of
the trade, it is hard to believe
that the demand for such articles
in this community will justify the in
vestment.
In gift books they have, also, a very
choice selection, which are really valua-
bic for what they contain, as we'll
for their fashionable and showing bind
ings. Amongst these we found about
all the standard English authors, both
classic and modern, and nearly all the
standard American works. The Messrs.
Lawrence T. Co. deserve credit for pro-
viding works of this character for the
rising generation of readers in this city,
for it is our opinion, that, next to care
full parental training, nothing conduces
to elevate the moral tone and instil cor
rect principles more than good books,
which contain at once attractive and
agreeable entertainment and useful in
struction. Those who cultivate taste
for such reading need never be lonely
when alone, and when in company are
never at IL loss for subjects Of CONVERSE
ton which are interesting even to the
uncu|tivated nearer We hope Messrs
Lawrence T. Co. may find ready sale
for all such books.
Besides the above, they have choice

The January number of "Peterson's

seen. There are two beautiful steel en-

lilies: the other "The Wanderer," H.
Illustrating story by Frank lice Bene-
dict. The mammoth colored fashion,
plate is unusually elegant; it is pic
ture as well as lfashion-plate. In all,
there are some thirty fashion patterns
IN the number, But the great feature
is a magni6c ent colored pattern of a
new kind of fancy work, Ribbon En-
broidery,'' which every lady will be
wild to learn, and which is, besides, the
most costly establishment ever seen in
any magazine. The stories are even
better than usual, and no lady's book
has such writer's as "Peterson." This
magazine is cheaper than ever for 1877.
Single copies are two dollars year,
but five copies are sent for $500, with
an extra copy to the person getting up
the club, or six copies for $500, with
both an extra copy, and the large sized
steel engraving, "Cornwallis' Surren-
der" All are postage free. For
larger clubs the prices are even lower.
Specimens are sent, gratis, to those
wishing to get up clubs. "Petersop'
is emphatically the magazine for the
times. Address Charles J. Peterson,

A FRIEND tells us that he was follow
ing along the street recently closely be-
hind gentleman who seemed" wholly
absorbed in thought, and who, moreover,
thought aloud, and the result was that
he overheard the following soliloquy:
ayes, it may lead to fight, and that
will send up prices of produce; wheat
especially. Advances in prices will en-
rich the farmers, more of them will
want to move into town. This will
create a demand for lots, and lots will
go up. Yes, l guess I won't sell, for I
may get $4,000 for that property when
the war is over" He was evidently
specializing about the presidential mud
die, and calculated on another war be-
tween the north and south. But he is
mistaken in attributing to a probable
civn w0r the consequences which fol-
lowed q sectional war: The two are
very unlike.
