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 a 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 mama's

NICK's, FLORAL GUIDE-This work is
before us, and those who send FIVE cents to
1 James Wick, Rochester, n. Y, for it will
be disappointed. Instead of getting q
cheap thing, as the price would seem to
indicate, they will receive a very hand
some work of 100 pages, and perhaps 500
iliustrations-not cheap but elegant illus
trations, on the very best of calandered
paper, and as a set otf to The whole, an elc-
CANT Coorcd Plate, that we would Judge
cost twice the price of the book
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 Thrcshcr, 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 our
confidence and esteem. We trust that they
may meet with the necessary patronage
and custom to ensure success in their ven
ture.
The play, Among the Breakers, " was
presented last Thursday to fair audience.
There were not SO many present us there
should have been, yet, considering tina!
every evening of the past week was occu
pied, it was perhaps to have been expected
The play was we'll presented, and well re-
ccived; 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 tho
: lights for the tabeaux did not arrive il
season, consequently that part of the pro
y gramme was failure; it was very anoy
ing, as the ladies had gone to great dea
= of trouble, and made very elaborate prepa
| ratlODS.
Tho new bank building is now complete
and presents very neat appearance. The
main office is large and airy, and IA hand
some oak counter and desk, with glas!
screen, extends from side to side. A large
I genuine Halls safe stands in the corner
and looks quite formidable, and, from it
r build, we would judge that the most eXper
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 witt
e steel. On one side of the building is
private Office, which, with its neat carpets
3 spacious armchairs, handsome mahogan
desks, &c, presents very substantial
neat and cosy appearance.
