HOUSEKEEPING GOODS.

Our gentle housekeepers will be especially in
terested in knowing just where to go or send for
bouse-furnishing, house-warming and house
keeping goods. And to meet every conceivable
want Mr.. SAM. NoTT has opened and filled a
new store in Campbell's Block. Fort street, op-
posite Wilder ( Co., and has there a display of
useful goods calculated to delight the eye Of ap-
preciative housewives and excite the apprehen-
sions Of their husbands. Almost Immediately
upon entering the establishment our eye is caught
by a display Of tea and coffee services IN nickel
plated 'granite' ware, a new material that,
being fire and aeid-proof, almost unbreakable, of
handsome color and shape, light and graceful,
and withaI Of moderate price, will take the fancy
of very many wanting such goods. In the same
style, but manufactured OF - agate, are plenty
Of water cans, tubs, trays, bowls, etc. These
goods are Of plain, substantial make. and will
stand an immense amount of knocking about.
Near these goods are heaped up what may be
called the . . brio a brac Of tin ware. Cunning

A new and novel style OF range. or large cooking
stove. strikes US as being as fine Il thing as we
have ever seen. The upper oven is twenty
inches square. and, combined with the lower
oven. gives a space large enough to roast i pig
and a turkey at once. The fre-box is fitted with
heavy steam piping go arranged as to lead the
water from The main into and around the fre-box,
where it is heated, and then passes into a large
ana very strong drum from which it can be led
all over the house. giving hot water in every
room If required. The arrangement is very com
ulete. and the whole stove combines the advan-
tages OF the 0d-iashioned 'wOOd-burner and
the more modern range" The upper floor of
the store contains SOM very powerful tools for
cutting and punching sheet iron rapidly and
smoothly, besides all the ordinary machinery
used in the manufacture of tin ware.
