surrounding, the amount of goods disposed of
during the past few days being quite remarkable.
The silks are especially attractive, and selling
fast at the unapproachablc prices at which they
are offered; while the cloak department is doing
better work than even Mr. &. had reason to hope;
and in novelties and dress goods the splendid
stock and telling prices have made sales unpre-
cedcntedly large, These few days of season

to those present. The attendance has been about

The ArlnOry.

Our militia company are having quite difi-
cult time in procuring an armory. Some suita-
BILE halls there are in the city, of course, but OF
these some will not be rented for the purpose,
others ask too much rent and some, like Willis 5
hall, are objected to by both owners and the COM
pany. On Thursday night, however, the compa-
ny met, and decided to build one If a lot can be
procured. The armory committee were instruct
ed to obtain figures from builders on the cost of
building, and to obtain if possible Il lot The
intention is, we believe, to put up large wood
en- building Of not an expensive character to
serve until they become able to build brick one,
or until other new buildings are put up in which
hall can be built especially for them, As the
! boys are trying hard to make the company an
honor to the city, and as the headquarters of the
battalion are at Ottawa, it is hoped they will re-
ceiye such little assistance as they may need.
It should, however, be remembered that the pol
icy of the company is not to be bcggars. Not
one cent will be asked of our people until every
other resource is exhausted, and if it should be
necessary to ask small assistance to build this
armory, such a request will be their last and on
