where WE had the pleasure of examining
some of tile handsomest ladies' dress goods
we have seen in this market, some new
and elegant patterns, which have just
been received from New York. The
ladies, we know, will thank us for calling
their attention to them. An elegant
piece of black silk, from which a dress
pattern had just been cut, particularly at
tractcd our notice-the ladies will fall I'm
love with it at once. A very flll supply
of embroideries will attract unusual at
tention. while in the line of ladies' hosiery
the styles and qualities are most complete.
With the almost endless varieties OF
brocaded. silks, caShmeres, buntings, ETC..
etc. it would seem impossible that any
lady should fail to get just what she want
ed, either i'll quality, style or price, ut this
establishment. And the latles are specially
Invited to call at Mr.. Samuel Z. Young's
