AImshOuSe Improvements, When the new almshouse building '
Loan Exhibition at the Dwight Place
 Church.


 Loan Exhibition at the Dwight Place Church.
 A preliminary view of the above-named ex- last evening. The parlors of the church are admirably adapted to display of this kind, being large, lofty and we'll lighted, and the general effect on entering the rooms on the first floor is strikingIy beautiful. It would seem as if every household, far and near, had been emptied of all it's art treasures and knick- hacks These have been classified into vari- ous departments, ceramics, furniture, textile fabrics, antiquities, old books, minerals, etc., etc. The array of embroideries so dear to the heart of the gentler sex, is most complete, and is arranged in cases to facilitate examina- ton. The display of old fashioned china is very large and eood-and the impression one gets from the articles on this floor is that the good people of the last century, judging from what is left of their effects did but little else than sit around in hard-bot. toned, raight-backed chairs and drink tea out of exquisite china cups, occasionally en- broidering few pieces of something inexpli- cable to the present generation, by way of a change Another coincidence is that all these things are exactly ''one hundred years old ]" Articles only ninety-fve years of age have been vigorously excluded as altogether too modern, while things exceeding in antiquity the even century have modestly declined to assert their claims, as being beyond the, bounds of credibility. This applies, of course, only to unauthenticated articles-for very many relics here exhibited undoubtedly reach back even into the seventeenth century,
 The second floor is devoted to the ssArt Gal. lery," containing over 200 pieces. Some of the oil paintings are very fine indeed, en- bracing good specimens of the old Flemish and Italian masters. A portrait of some Span ish grandee by Velasquez will attract much attention. The pictures were hung under di- rection of Evarts Cutler, which is guarantee of pleasing and artistic arrangement. Our own New Haven artists are represented by works from the brush of MT. Thompson, Miss Gilbert, MT. Penney and others. Altogether the exhibition has every promise of great suc- cess, if the preparation made is any indica- tioD,

FIsHER's SToRE.--A day or two sipe, we
called at Messrs. J. g. Fisher and Co.'S store,
corner of Main aud Ferry streets, In this city,
to look at the recent improvements. From a
small local store. the business has developed
into one Of the largest IN tho city--if indeed,
it does not do the biggest general trade Of
any. Since the recent enlargement the store
contains about three times the room Il did be.
fore, and there Is double the amount Of stock
carried. Six or eight clerks are kept constants
ly on the jump, and the trade of the store has
greatly increased within the past four weeks
Considerable country custom has been added,
and customers call from all parts Of our city.
The stock carried is fresh and the prices ask
ed are reasonable. One of the novelties in
this store is the use of oil lamps without
chimneys that give a light equal to gas.
Among the popular clerks at this establish
ment we mention Mr.. Jacob Seryis and Mr..
A. w. Cooper.

"A few days ago number Of people gath
cred at the barn OF Mr.. Chas. Atkinson, in
Solebury, to witness a grain threshing and
cleanining machine do it's work. The grain
was threshed and cleaned In very speedy
and satisfactory manner, and the new ma
chine was much admired by those who wit
messed its operations. There is talk OF
manufacturing the above thresher and cleaner
at Mr.. Atkinson's agricultural works in New
Hope. If the manufacture of these machines
is added to the productions Of the above
works, no doubt number of additional hands
will have to be employed. The works have
been running steady during The present year,
and the good work turned out has been a
recommendation that has caused purchasers
of machinery to give this institution the lib
eral patronage received.

upon Holcombe Island, nearly opposite Ar

aged about 10 years, interfered with the fire,
upon which young Parker struck him.
Pierman at once drew knife and plunged
it into the left breast of young Parker, strik-
ing the heart. He died in two or three minu-
ties. Pierman ran over to Pennsylvania and
at last accounts he had not been caught

delphia where a stranger
may buy his clothes, and
fare as well as if he knew
the whole city by heart; and
if he knows nothing about
the value of cloths, or of
clothes, he is as well off, as
if he were a good judge of
both.
The reason is that every
thing to be found there is
made there--rnade and sold
under a system which rarely
allows mistakes to occur, and
which corrects them, if they
do occur.
OAK HALL is the place;
and its practice may be
summed up in few words.
If you get there what you
don't want to keep at the
price, you return it, and get
your money back.
This means a great deal
more than appears on the
surface. 1t means that you
are not going to get what
you will not want TO keep at
the price, if the merchant can
help it. 1t means that the
clothes you get there will be
of honest cloths, honestly
made; and that they will
cost you less than as good
clothes can be got for else
where. 1t means that they
will be every way better
worth your money than you
can get elsewhere TOR the
same money.
IF it means anything less
than these things-ifit means
poor cloths, trimmings, cut
ting, sewing, or in any way
dishonest or Liberal dealing;
the return of lis goods will
plague the merchant, injure
his credit, and dissipate his
trade.
If it means these things
if it means liberal and honor
able dealing, valuable and
trusty clothing, case and
safetyin getting it, OAK HALL
is the place for you to go to,
or to send to; and it is worth
your while to know how you
can send, if it is inconvenient
to go.
Write say what your
occupation is say what
sort of use you intend to
make of the clothes you
want, whether for everyday
wear or otherwise; what
color you prefer, or what
color to avoid; say about
what you want to pay; say
everything that you think
may aid a stranger in
choosing for you. You
will get in reply samples
of cloths and prices of what
ever you want made from
those cloths. You will get
also the means of having
your measure taken by an
unskilful person.
There is only one diff
Guilty left. Somebody has
got to take the risks of the
dealing; for there are risks.
Send your money along
with your order. That
covers the risk as to your
good faith. We risk every
thing else; the fit, and
your satisfaction every way.
Our trade by mail
amounts to half a million
dollars a year; there's no
reason why it shouldn't
amount to five millions.
