DRy GOODS, RUSSELL xoRrHRoP.
II has been = little over . year sino.
this sntsrprising firm Of dry good deal
ers came from the east and established
themselves ut 3O6 Market street. Th'
trial was an experiment with them bn
It has proved . profitable experiment
not only to them bnt to the people o
Wilmington. 1t was the commence
ment Of new era Of the dry good
trade Of Wilmington by which all hav,
been benefited. Messrs. Russell 4
Northrop are behind in nothing and
their enterprise brings them right Il
, the front In holiday preparations. Thii
sesus to be known by the people II We
are to Judge by the vast crowds that
are continually pouring in and out oI
that busy mart Of trade. A great reduc
ton Of prices has been made by Msssrs.
Russell l. Northrop on all their stan
dard goods and those who are looking
for coats, :cloaks, shawl: and watel
proofs are surprised at the low prices
at which they can be purchased.
They have what We call five cent
counter from which articles are now
pold which formerly were sold for ten
cents. They have also ten cent va,
riety counter where porte-monnaies, and
other useful articles are sold. A large
lot Of iewelry attracts special attention,
and their stock Of hosiery, gloves, rib
bons, handkerchiefs, cuffs, collars
scarfs and msrino underwear is almost
beyond the comprehension OF reporter
The Messrs. Russell & Northrop have
proposed making their store the popu
lar resort for the buyers Of holiday goods
and they are succeeding admirably in
making their proposition a veritsble
fact.
JOHN n. MOORE, CLOTHING.
Persons in search OF clothing for
holiday presents or for any other pur-
pose, cannot suit themselves better in
variety or price than by calling at the
Oldest merchant tailoring and clothing
establishment in the city, now carried
on by John II. Moore, at 22S Market
street. Mr. Moore has all his clothing
made in this city, keeping about twenty
hands employed, which is certainly a
strong claim for patronage from our
people. Aside from this Mr.. Moore has
always on hand large stock Of cloth
ing r. suit the season and can fit a
customer out in ,e minutes time to a
suit ranging in price from S6 to $50
He has on hand large lot of ready
made overcoatS for both men and boys,
and the man must be hard to suit with
suit who cannot suit himself with a
suit at John II. Moore's suiting estab-
lishment.
DAVID PAUL Browns PICTURES.
Nothing can bs more appropriate tor a
Christmas present than the picture Of
yourself to friend, and the place to
get such picture taken is at David
Paul Browns picture gallery at Ala
Market street. He takes all kinds OF
pictures from tin types to the largest
life sized crayons. His charade pic
lures of Mother Goose" and "Sapta
Claus" make splendid christmas pres
ents. Mr.. Brown is enterprising and
first class artist and none need be dis.
appointed who call upon him to pur-
chase good pictures or to get pictures
taken.
q. A. PARRY, TOYS.
The place is easily found by those in
search Of Christmas presents for the lit.
tie ones. You will notice the sign of
the tea kettle and the name 4 A. Pa
ry, 232 King street, OH it. When you
see this sign you will know you have
arrived at the store where you can find
express wagons, dolls OF all sizes,
drums, rocking horses, gongs Of differ
ent sizes, trumpets, Jumpers for the lit
tie ones, saving banks for the children
to keep their pennies in, and many 9th
er useful articles not mentioned. Mr.. P.
stated this morning that his stock is
larger this year than at any other Pc
riod since he has been in bus mess.
JAMES & wEBBs, BOOKS &c.
James 4 Webb, 224 Market street,
have fairly outdone themselves in their
preparations for the holiday season and
already they are rewarded by con
stant stream of purchasers. Their
store room is very large one but not
large enough for display of their i'm
mense stock of goods, and in order to
make more room thev have utilized the
basement which glistens with the
choicest of Christmas ornaments and ar
ticles of value and utility. As we en-
tered the store room an evening or two
ago, we were almost bewildered at the
labyrinth of goods through which we
had to pass, and our ears catching the
sound Of tintinlating music We
followed the direction IRON which the
sound came, and above the door lead
ing to the basement was the announce
ment that there was "nore to follow"
but 1t was below instead of above.
Passing down the broad stairway
We were here met by the word
Welcome" staring us full n the face, )
after which we were in another maze .
,f astonishment at the Christmas prep =
aratiens which surrounded us. The /.
music to which we listened was sprung ,
upon our ears by the opening of an ;
album, which as soon as opened began
20 send forth sylvan strains sweeter
han the eolian harp. To enumerate
What James & Webb have, well, we t
ant do it Our powers of description a
