DRESS GOODS from one House, which we are retailing
to trade at prices considerably below that paid by
our competitors for the same goods Extensive buying

THIS DEPARTMENT has earned for itself reputation that is
the envy Of all competitors forcing some Of them to abandon
the better grades SHOES hitherto kept by them for an inferior
quality so as to compete with US in price, We however, believe
that the public are possessed Of no little amount GGrnm8nt
and ask them to inspect STOCK and make comparison Of
QUALITIES before purchasing elsewhere The question Of being able
to sell CHEAP depends upon che ability to pay CASH DOWN for all
purchases together with the inclination to sell small profit and
in no Department Of our House this moe clearly illustrated than
our SHOE DEPARTMENT. We do not keep low grade goods praG
Gay worthless pr88rng rather to sell only such as we know
will give satisfaction prove credit to Or House, and result in

process OF spoDgins and shrinking, which gives q

meeting of the owners Of imported stations
and breeders of this county was held at Whites
Hotel on Thursday afternoon last. About 80 gen.
tlemen were present. The object of the meet
ing was discussion of the terms for use OF
stations, the general opinion being that farmers
should hire the services of the stations for the
season, and that owners Of stations cut out the
insurance and accident clauses of the agree
ments. In this way the cost to farmers would
be reduced by considerable per centage, and
the responsibility or risks divided between the
farmer and the stallion owner more fairly than at
present. A plan to this effect was drawn up and
endorsed by all present. hut the meeting decided
to adlourn for two weeks that others not repre-
scented at this meeting might have an opportuni-
ty to express their views. Accordingly another
meeting will be held at the same place on Thurs
day. Jan. Goth.

SUDDEN DEATH.-Miss MARY MILES, well
known aged spinster of this city, was found
dead on Tuesday in her room at the residence OF
Stephen Jennings in this city, where she had
been boarding for some time past, When called
to breakfast she answered, but failed to make her
appearance at the table, which, however, being
nothing unusual, no attention was paid to it.
At2 p. NJ, however, again falling to appear at
meal time, the door of her room was forced
open, and it was found that she had risen since
morning and dressed, but afterwards had fallen
upon the floor face downward, in which position
she was found dead. A coroner's jury was sum-
moned but found only these facts. Her body
was taken to the residence OF Mr.. Hiram Gilbert,
a relative on the east side, and from there on
Wednesday buried in accordance with the rites
of the Episcopal church, OF which Miss Miles
from her youth had been member
She was few days over 72 years of age, and
had been resident of Ottawa since about 1S4i,
being sister of Mrs. Judge Leland and the late
Mrs. NJ. II. Swift. OF late years she had become
somewhat eccentric in her habits, but otherwise
she was a lady of more than ordinary culture
and intelligence, hayngin her earlier years been
a magazine writer of some reputation, contrib
uting to the Ladys Book and other magazines,
as well as poetry and an occasional story to the
columns of the FREE TRADER.
