! Upon Union street, just below Bridge,
the walker aud talker" of THE RECORD
finds the dry goods establishment pre-
sided over by the gentleman named above.
We have characterized it as dry goods
establishment, but that designation hard
ly does it justice. At all events there are
certain departments of the house that we
feel disposed to call attention to. For in
stance, speciality is made of laces. Choice
assortments of Spanish, Guipure, French,
Breton, Irish Point, Valenciennes, Cluuy,
and other dainty fabrics of this kind, so
dear to the feminine heart, are carried.
Velvets also are made specially of. while
of dress trimmings the varieties and kinds
are legion, as our lady readers well know
Another speciality that was added this
Spring is children's suits is, of the
better class, We noticed some very tastily
made garments for both boys and girls
made in the latest fashion, and offered at
prices that to us seemed hardly sufficient
to cover the cost of raw material In
faults wardrobes are also shown in many
styles and at various costs ana so are
ladies suits and Iaagerie-however the
average man don't known much of these
articles, though he may pay for them,
and so we won't air our ignorance by try
ing to grow eloquent upon theme we
don understand. Still another depart
ment of the business that receives careful
attention is dress making
The house to which we refer was es-
tablished some five OF six years ago by
Mrs. w. V. Cooley, who succeeded in
building up a trade that was of the best
possible character. One year ago last
March she sold out the business to Mr..
G. w. Rittenhouse, and he evidently is
not only retaining old patrons but gam
ing many new ones. This was new
business to him, but he undertook to
master its details--he realized that there
was ample room in Lambertyille for n
really iirst-class house of the kind, and
we certainly are very glad to see him do
ing so well. In all its departments and
specalties the house deserves well of the
public, otherwise TIE RECORD would not
thus refer to it.

WnKEsBARRE, Pa, June 27.-The heavy
rains the past few days and the bursting Of

the Baltimore mines. The residents in the
neighborhood are alarmed. At l o'clock
great excitement prevailed at the scene Of
lbe cavt In. 1t has extended a consider

house. This building was carried down
with its contents to depth Of seventy five
feet, and completely buried. A large por.
ton OF the branch Of the Delaware 4 Hud-
son railroad is now endangered and may
disappear at any moment. Several houses
are in peril and the occupants are seeking
safer quarters. Up to this time there has
been no loss OF life, but it is feared there
will be still further loss to property.
Another house was washed away this
evening into the cave. The waters are
pouring into the Conyngham mine work

Should Ii not clear up soon the water will
extend into the washings OF other mines.

RICHMOND has been under q terrible
strain during these days Of waiting on the
pleasure or convenience Of the bloody
minded duelists. And however ludicrous
The business may appear to other people
it's very sOberly regarded In Richmond,

would be the last to exaggerate matter Of
this kind therefore we give bird'seye
view Of the situation as pictured by that
excellent newspaper SUNDAY and yes.
terday will long be remembered in this
city as days Of anxiety and excitement.
Thepeople wanted to hear from Mr.. Beirne
and Mr.. Elan. They desired to know II
aducl had been fought; II not, when 1t
would be, and where was Mr.. Elan and
where was Mr. Beirne. Wherever there
was one man in position TO talk to
another be asked about the duelists.
The Threshold Of the church was not
too sacred for the inquiry; nor was any
mart Of trade too busy for people to aak
and answer the fashionable interrogatory
Of the day. No man said anything about
the weather. No man said anything that
was not strictly business about anything
except the duel. For a time, indeed, the
lamentable stabbing affair Of Sunday was
discussed, but when 1t was learned that Mr.,
Crn!chaeld might possibly survive that was
passed over, and talk went drifting back to
the duel" So that with the unimportant
exception Of a little stabbing affray between
two gentlemen, one Of whom Is "a very
popular man." the other having "many
warm friends in our community" there
was very little talked about or done in
Richmond on the Jeems' for two days
and nights except to speculate on the out.

any wonder that the dusl u popular there
