tions OF getting 4 just share. The trades
men have made liberal preparation, and the
means Of keeping the day Loyalty and boun-
tiiuly are ample. ......
We give below further notices of the
Christmas stocks for the instruction OF our
readers:
plzzIHi, No. SO7 Broad treet.-Here is
the very source OF sweetness and fruitful
delights. The headquarters OF toys and
temptations. Pizzini is by lineage the royal
arch grand master in the temple OF candied
splendors and iruititicd joys. All children
Kind. all maiden.knd, know this. As inge-
NOUS and cunning as have been dulcet fab
rications from Paris and from the northern
cities. rizzni is prepared to surprise his
friends with the still greater improvements
that have taken place in his art. We see
that he has these very things. His extensive
advertisement spreads before the lovers Of
.nol things. great and small. the richest
collection they have probably ever seen.
And now, little ones, we give you bit OF
choice poetry from the early poets:
"Intra mintra. cutra, corn,
Apple seed aud apple thorn;
Nycr hricr Timber lock
sits aud sings tn II O'Clock:
The mouse run round. the clock runs down.
.. I. T. and be gone"
The little boy or girl who goes into Piz-
zini's and reCiteS this poetry without show
inc his or her teeth or smiling shall have 4
pound Of candy. II they do this they get
the prize, and il they don't, why
Ones all, ,wo's all, zsza xan.
Bob-tail guinea foot little ball tan,
As you came you may go, my little man.
We commend those who fail to the kind
ness OF PiZzini. Don't stand 'em behind the
door.
A. SAEs g. Co.. No. 1913, opposite the
post-ottcc.-A remarkably fine place for
nice fits and excellent clothes. The fact is,
Saks is a success-eminently so. A general
master OF the clothing art, and yet he claims
special excellence in some things. For in
stance he commeuds his ulsters as top
above the market. We rather think he is a
Hing OF Ulster. Where man is in the front
rank he may out-Hcrod himself il he pleases,
but it is not necessary. Wen 60 it blind on
such a man-ulster or no ulster. There are
overcoats and pants, and mems suits, and
childrcn's suits, and everything in the line OF
wearing apparel in "apple-pie order," ana
at the one price cash, silver or gold.
SakS is bi-mctallic currency man, rs we
arc ourselves, and therefore be has lean
ing towards us. Besides all the array Of
mems outward drapcry he has the under
wear OF the finest and most comprehensive
character. and his shirts tit so nice that
one would regard man fitted with one rs
having been born with it on him. He
would seem precisely opposite to Tom Au-
gust. who said he was born without Il shirt
RANDOLPH g. ENGLIsH.-Tbis house, the
senior OF which is 4 part of the history Of
Richmond, has gotten into a spacious and
splendid store, Nos. 1902 and 1904 Main
street, occupying q part OF the very ground
on which the senior, rs 4 young bookseller,
began his life; and he is 4 veteran. Like Il
true annalist, he sets out with "almanacs,
calendars, and diaries.' He has an eager
ness for such literature, and il there is any.
thing Of the kind OH hand there is our
friend to pounce upon it. But almanacs
and calendars are not all the nicknacks OF
trade in the store OF Randolph d. English.
They have fancy editions OF finest classic
works, and fancy goods, children's books,
and ct cetera, and so on, and so on.

they were all burned in 1865, and, since
they were martyrs together, they ought

peace. and, we trust, prosperity. West,
Johnston a. Co. are rs lively and rs festive
as the rest OF them, and have brought out
their most te,nptin. holiday goods for the
public admiration. Their catalogues must
be extensive. We are sure they are, ana

GEORGE GIBSON, Jr., 1907 Main street.
China and Glass.-Here is a store for select

can get fancy and useful articles OF great

other wares there have been wonderful ad-
rancemcnts since our day. 1t is to us
pleasure to criticise the works or these
times and compare them with the very SIM
pie styles OF other days. Gibson has some
