The public reads with eagerness the items in the personal columns of the daily papers, but there are some persons in whom the pub lie are interested, who from an undue sense of modesty, as we think, object to seeing their names among the personals.
 Mr. Evarts Cutler, of Cutters art store, is one of these persons, therefore we de- vote this separate item to the end that the public may be informed of the fact that he is spending his summer vacation at home, engaged in selling of his elegant stock of framed pictures, easels, pedestals, cabinets and brie-a-brac at twenty per cent. discount, and many prudent people are taking the op- portunity to make selections of elegant arti- cleg with which to decorate their houses, and others are quietly collecting choice objects to be ussd as holiday gifts when the season shah come. The cool weather makes it 8 favorable time for our citizens to take the opportunities MT. Cutler is affording.
