Great ClothIng House.

We invite attention to the advertise
ment of Steinfeld the Cleveland Clothier,
which appears in this issue.
The Leader of last Saturday night says:
The entire success which has rewarded
Mr.. J. Steinfeld in conducting a large
clothing business upon popular principles
is one of the most natural, as we'll as graf
flying, results of a correct apprehension
of the demands Of the public. By the ex-
preston, popular principles, we would not
be understood as signifying toadying dis
position on the part of Mr.. Steinfeld to
curry good favor with the public, but a
business which covers the entire field, meet
ing the necessities of all classes, whether
rich or poor, economical or extravagant in
their wishes.
Liberal in prices, vigorous in policy, and
exact in representing his goods, he merits
and has gained the entire confidence of
buyers, so that none are fearful of trusting
him, some even to the extent of selecting
suits or garments for them in their ab-
sence. This he frequently does on orders
from the country, and we venture that
none ever had cause to complain. Ia
ready made clothing his styles are always
late andfashionable, and for make, quality
and cut his garments have no superior.
Just at this time his assortment Of over
coats is superb, and the prices are, as usual
with him very reasonable. His merchant
tailoring department has won a wide repu-
tation, and is very popular, commanding
the best patronage of the city. His stock
of piece goods, &C., is always large and
suited to all customers, while the cut and
fashion of his custom made suits are on
par with those of the best Eastern tailors,
As would be expected, his stock of ready
made clothing, furnishing goods, hats ,caps
and piece goods is at present full and COM
plete, ready for large fall and winter
trade, and those who call upon him Will be
sure of the most liberal treatment.

The MISSIONARY Mass MEETING opened
on Thursday morning with most unfsvor-
able weather, and a consequent small at
tendance. Devotional exercises occupied
the first half hour, DR.. Wolcott, chairman.
Rev. Mr.. Shef1ein, missionary from North
ern China filed up the morning hour. In
the afternoon DIR. Brown took up the sub
iect of church erection, and wss followed
by Prof. Mead, on trisning young men
an appeal for 0berlin. The evening was
occupied by Rev. james Powell, Of the
American Missionary Association, in re-
view of the effect of missionary work among
the various races. While referring to the
Chinese he called upon Mr.. Jee Cana
conYerted Chinaman, who gave his expert
ence and conversion in very clear and flu
ent English and made a deep impression
upon the audience. He had been ten years
in the country and had become master of
the language, and given himself to the
Masters service, as a missionary among his
brethren in California. He had made good
use OF his opportunities and commended
himself to:every one. The earnest appeals
that were made by the several speakers were
listened to with marked attention. Din
ner and supper were served in the basement
by the ladies of the church, which drew the
remark from DR.. Wolcott that this had
been done by but three churches out of the
whole number that they had visited-thst
they always enjoyed it the best when they
could all keep together, and make the sup
per hour a season of social interview. Sew
eral short speeches were made, and pleas
ant anecdotes related, when the evening
meeting was brought to a close.
The influence of this gathering was of
very salutary character, and had the wealth
er been more propitiOus, and the numbers
been brought out that have come together
at other places, its benefits would have been
much extended.

CIeveland's HarbOr.

It has recently been proposed by some of
the citizens Of Cleveland to open a new
channel il. the Cuyahoga river on the west
side of the viaduct. Mr.. Geo. ". Gard
iner, a member of the Council of that city
urges the improvement, and gives among
his reasons for so doing, the following:
''Now, it is fact that vessels will char
ter for freights as against Cleveland, be-
cause Of the miserable condition of our
harbor and the heavy expense entailed for
the handling Of the vessels on the river;
consequently they prefer going to neigh
boring ports which have to a certain ex-
tent already taken from Cleveland, because
OF the superior facilities offered them by
way of harbor, and handling freights. 1t
has also been said that railroads have been
built from the interior to these ports, car
rying vast quantities Of coal and ore from
them, which are two of the principal pro-
ducts handled. But, notably, one of these
railroads was built largely by Cleveland
capital, with the expectation and under
standing that Cleveland was to be the ter
minus. Because Of the lack of proper fac
ilities for handling these products, and
room required as a harbor for vessels, this
large amount of business has been taken
from us, and the extent of it is liable to be
greatly increased unless we check the drain,
by offering such facilities as will bring
back to US that which we have lost. l may
say right here that the Cleveland capitalists
who invested in this road became disgust
ed with it because the direction of its prin-
cipal terminus was changed and they lost
every dollar they invested.
The Penny Press says: Cleveland citi-
zens are thoroughly alive to all infringe
ments Of their rights and interests by out
side parties. The board of trade very
promptly, and very properly, sent a com
mittee of prominent and able citizens to
Detroit to demonstrate against the bridg-
ing OF the Detroit river, through which
y leveland marine is constantly passing to
rehd fro. This was commendable, but
iesleveland has just as important interests at
WiOme, which are being shamefully neg
fcted. Her own harbor is in condition
thhich is yearly driving large quantities of
tlpmmerce to neighboring ports. The larger
; aass of vessels are forced, from the shall
Of water in the Cuyahoga river, 10
N6eek trade with other ports. Coal which
lould naturally be shipped from Cleve-
md is finding an outlet from Ashtabula
lHlflld Erie, Ore that should be landed here
l9 taken to these same ports, This has
teen going on for several years. Each sea-
an finds larger class Of vessels on the
alocks. Soon the major portion of the in
END lakes commerce will be comprised of
Aaft that cannot enter or depart from this
piBrt loaded, yet not thing IS being done
) y keep the condition Of the harbor in keep
inag with the increase in size oflake vessels,
the slow work on the government break
'ater is excepted,

Wednesday last found Contractor
Starkweather blasting away at his job at
the gulf He has the road bed for the
most part of the required width, and ex-
cept a point near the lap of the new with
the old road, nearly down to grade. A few
good days would close his labors. The
rain and snow have interfered with the
progress of the work Where dirt has
been used, the tendency has been to slough
off the sides, and to hide itself in the "clifts
of the rocks" The irksOmeness of the
task is made sensible to the Contractor,
but he puts on a bold front and tugs away
determined to do what duty demands.
The texture of the rock is of the hardest
kind, and drilling is work of slow prog
ress. The weather has been such as to
preclude earthwork, and therefore nothing
has been done of late on the Plymouth
side.
