tunities to exercise their talents. Our

iourishing condition, best of order

Reports cay there was large attend

batting was excellent, singing of a very
high and refined character; many es-

gest one idea to our young friends, !. e.
to avoid personalities, as they have a
tendency to create discontent and EN-.
bitter the minds ofthose whose names

hailing from Cleveland. The Assign.

week. Reports say goods sold mole
because Of their cheapness than from
actual value. If many of those people
making purchases were asked to give
note with security on 80 day goods by
heir resident merchants they would
feel aggrieved, bnt with strangers it is
Ill right. Adage says: Wehave our
