The firm propose this year to do even larger business Their facilities for turning out work are very complete, and manufactur- ing concern turning out over six hundred different styles of carriages, from the Iightest to the heaviest, as they do, certainly must have all the latest improvements for manufac- turing purposes.

Meigs, of the | business department, was the recipient of some very fine complimentary remarks dur ing the speech making of the evening, which 1 must have been very gratifying to that gen tIeman, as they were to all present.

The Planets

Venus, Jupiter and Saturn are now so close in the evening sky that they can all be taken in at a glance, and they make a brilliant pie ture. Venus, which in the telescope appears nearly in the shape of half f-moon, is nearest the horizon and most conspicuous. Jupiter comes next, not so dazzling as Venus, but yet exceeding every fixed star in brightness. Saturn is a few degrees to the left of Jupiter, looking quite pale by contrast, although equal to most of the first magnitude stars While these three give beauty to the western sky Orion and Taurus, with the Dog Star at their heels, lord it in the eastern heavens, and Capella glitters overhead.

Haverly's genuine colored minstrels will appear at Peck's Grand Opera House to- morrow evening.

There are three beautiful singers in the com pany-singers gifted with exceedingly sweet voices, who are well trained, and who under stand how to use their voices to the best ad- vantage. It is a treat to hear these singers, who are ably assisted by better chorus than has been heard among niinstrels in this city since minstrels devoted their attention to music" Reserved seats should be secured at Loomis'
