NUMBER Al.

Indication OF n revival of the times
chould be given than the lavishness
OF merchants in purching good, for
the Fall and Winter trade. Chicago
and New York papers tell us that
not for years have the country mer-
chants made such heavy purchases,
and seldom before has there been
anything to compare with it. Tho
correctness of these reports we can
not question after glance over tho
stock just being opened by that safe
and sagacious merchant, Joseph Del
Ter. First we We're introduced to
bis clothing department, which is
packed almost from floor to ceiling
with goods, embracing overcoats,
business and dress suits, from which
men and boys of all sizes, ages and
conditions can be supplied. There
the well-to-do can procure an outfit
suited to hi, taste or fancy, aud he
OF a less plethoric purse can be COM
4ortably and cheaply clothed. Ia
youths and children's suits Mr..
Deuers stock is especially compre-
heusive in this line alone he has
invested in the neishborhood of
$1,000. After the clothing we in
spected the cloth department, 20
had it correspondinsy large and
elegant. The stock embraces SEEM
ingly every grade Of cloth that can
be called for, from the finest cast
meres, broadcloths, etc, to tho
cheapest satinets and jeans. OF
finest and latest styles, however, the
supply is most remarkable. We
should judge there are not less than
100 different patterns of these fine
and elegant goods. The next feature
attracting our attention was n great
pile OF embroideries, SUCH as we havo
never before noticed in this city,
and which on enquiring we found to
embrace innumerable patterns and
to range in price about 100 per cent.
below the figures heretofore asked
for the same goods. Embroidery
marked 90 cents per yard is fully as
good rs what Sl.OO was demanded
Tor year ago. Our "eye for the
beautiful was next riveted upon
the endless array of ladies' dress
goods, and, involuntarily, we
wished to be the husband and
father of a thousand wives and
daughters, with an unlimited bank
account, that we might robe their
graceful forms in the elegant silks,
popllns, cashmeres, etc, which Law
III heaps before US. The vain and
foolish wish was barely formed bat
to be supplanled by still stronger
desire to see brigade of the charm
ing maids and matrons of Iowa coun-
ty uniformed in the beautiful cloalls
that next obstructed our path. There
was every desirable shape, size and
grade. at prices ranging from 50 to-
q figure printers know nothing about
except as applied to delinquent sub
sclibers. Relief came to our over
strained nerves by a glance at The
boot and shoe department, wherein
we found gents fine kip boots at
only So per pair, as fine French calf
as a nabob could desire at 81, aud y
good American calf at the surprising
figure of $3.50. Such prices sur.
prised US, and the quality viii sur
prise all who see them.
TO go further into details is un-
necessary, and would occupy more
space than we have to spare. Suffice
it to say that throughout Mr. Deller's
stock is as complete, aud his prices
on everything as low, as in the de-
partments mentioned. For all which
let none take our word, but go and
learn for themselves.
