Among the many objects of beauty in
the way of attractive novelties which
now meet the eye at every turn, none is
more worthy of mention than the re-

some jewelry store. 1t is f1ve-sided and
lined with mirrors which have the effect
of multiplying the goods displayed
therein, and the beautiful pieces of sill

exhibits which We have seen this season.

lady over to Americas Saturday night,
and when on his way home, near Mr..
Asbury's, was attacked by couple of
highwaymen. One attempted to get
hold of the horses while the other seized
Mr.. GilchrIst, but the animals were very
spirited and knew that something was
wrong, and as quick as flash darted to
one side and ahead, jerking the intruder
to the ground. The one who WAS trying
TO clinch with Mr.. Gilchrist only Sue
ceeded in cutting cash in the left sleeve
of his overcoat about three or four inch
es long. AS soon as the villains could
recover themselves they drew revolyers
and fired two shots at Mr.. Gilchrist, but
luckily, without effect.
