AIRY, will be the anniversary of Gener.
al Jackson's victory over General
Packenham at New Orleans, in 1876
s~ixty-six years ago. This event gave
Jackson a great name in both hemis-

to need to be reminded oft. Why
not get up a patriotic celebration Of
the day? All can unite upon it.

The public are quite generally aware tina
THE ARGUS has recently secured some yer,
pretty and attractive pictorial cards upo1
which the terms Of the daily and weekl,
ARGUS have been hastily printed. Thest
cards have been greatly sought after, no
alone by the farming community, but also
10y the children all over the city. A com
plete set of these pictorial advertisements
was recently given a gentleman to take te
|his sick child The little sufferer appeared
|to be delighted with the present. and al
though supplied with numerous other play
shings, she preferred the picture cards to
them all She played with them during
her Sickness and now that she is GONZALES
cling. they are still source of amusement
and delight It will thus be seen that the
ARGUS not only furnishes news for the
public, but also supplies the children with
play things in the shape of its numerous
Advertising lodges.
