ions are very satisfactory, and in some
instances exceeded their expectations.
Mr.. F. B. Kenner arrived last Friday,
md Mrs. Kenner and child, Mrs. McFar-
land, Mr.. and Mrs r. G. Moore and fami-
" on Tuesday. Both families have taken
possession of their respective homes. and
have already commenced house keeping.
We are glad to have this addition to our
numbers, and hope they will find it mutu-
ally agreeable.
There are nearly seventy five or eighty
manageable young men in this village,
and only eight or ten ditto young ladies'
Now, girls, here's chance! just think of
it, seventy five bachelors 'pining for fe-
male society" and they are good looking,
steady, industrious young men, some of
them wealthy, and nearly all in comfort
able circumstances. Papa's and mamas
having large families of good-looking, in
tell'gent daughters, will here find brisk
matrimonial market.
VIcK's> FLORAL GUIDE.-This work is
before US, and those who send five cents to
James Wick, Rochester, n. Y, for it will
be disappointed. Instead of getting o
cheap thing, as the price would seem to
indicate, they will receive very hand
some work of 100 pages, and perhaps 500
illustrations-not cheap, but elegant illns-
trations, on the very best of calandered
paper, and rs setoff to The whole, an elc-
CANT Colorcd Plate, that we would judge
cost twice the price of the cook.
The "Bank of Morris" will be open for
the transaction of business to-day. The
building is all complete inside and out,
desks, counters and safe, are in position,
and every thing ready fol business. In adj
dition to banking, the new firm have the
agency for the old reliable Edward Har-
vester and Binder, Dewey Harvester, Min
nesota Chief Thresher, St. Paul Plow, &c,
&c. The new firm comes highly recon-
mended; they are both young men of un-
Improbable characters, and recognised
business ability, and are worthy of oul
confidence and esteem. We trust that they
may meet with the necessary patronage
and custom to ensure success in their ven-
turc.
The play, Among the Breakers, +" was
presented last Thursday to a fair audience
There were not SO many present as there
should have been, yet, considering tha
every evening of the past week was occu
pied, it was perhaps to have been expected
The play was well presented, and well re
ceived; but as it WAS reproduced Tuesday
| evening, our comments will be found in al
article elsewhere published One draw
back, however, was in the fact that til,
| lights for the tableaux did not arrive il
season, consequently that part Of the pro
gramme was Il failure; it was very anoy
| ing, as the ladies had gone to great dea
of trouble, and made very elaborate prepa
rations
Tho new bank building is now complete
and presents very neat appearance. TIL
main office is large and airy, and hand
some oak counter and desk, with glas
screen, extends from side to side. A larg
genuine Halls safe stands in the corner
and looks quite formidable, and, from it
build, we would Judge that the most expel
burglars would want whole day to fore
an entrance, as the inner, or burglar proc
vault is of steel and is seven inches thick
while the outer safe is extra plated wit
steel. On one side of the building is
private Office, which, with its neat carpet,
spacious armchairs, handsome mahogan
desks, &c, presents very substantial
neat and cosy appearance.
The play Among the Breakers" as pr,
scented by our Amateur Dramatic Associ
ton last Tuesday evening, was decide
success, the acting being much better tina
on the occasion Of its first prese, tatiol
1t is at best difficult task to criticise Il
players or the manner in which they su
tanned their parts, and as the write toe
part in the play, it makes it still more Iii
fieUlt. All present were unanimous in pr
| n-uncing it a success, and expressed su
prise at the smoothness of the acting al
the ability with which east sustained the
parts. Mrs. Weber, as the W itch, had
difficult role, but she acted her pa
