The Warsted e rade.

Messrs Fl 1. Nelson & Co., have an an
nOuucement 10 another column of much in
terest to our lady readers. The practice
adopted by most manufacturers of zephyr
worsted, to constantly reduce the weight of
the nominal pound, is, under the pretence of a
reduction in price, in reality only deception
upon the consumer, who under the impr ession
to buy cheaper, for the lower price gets a pro.
portionately smaller quantity. Hereafter at
the above store zephyr worsteds will bs sold by
the actual weight of sixteen ounce to the
pound, and thus the purchaser receives more
worsted at the former price. For further
particulars SET the advertisement.

This troupe of col0red men and women from
Storer College, Harper's Ferry, CAV, concert
OF City Hall last evening to an audience of
about five hundred citizens who gave frequent
expressions to their enjoyment aud apprecis-
ton of the entertainment afforded. The alto
and basso of the company were especially

when they secured many admirers. Oee of
their number showed remarkable agility last
evening and created much fun 10 the planta-
ton religions rouudelay "Moses Smote
