A Spring Opening.
Copyright 1881

We have none. No chance for
it. If we would keep our choice
things put away until given time,
and then offer them to the public
all at once, we should be foiled, for
people come in the winter when the
frost is in the air, and snow and ice
hold the earth in bondage, while our
preparations arc just forming for
the spring campaign, and demand
the new goods. Itwould be ungra-
cious to refuse; and so, perforcc, we
cannot have Spring Opening.
But we can open with a spring, and
as we write, while hardly a bursting
bud is to be seen upon the trees,
the spring trade is springing on us
with refreshing rush. Times dull,
you say? Not to the bold dealer
that takes no counsel of fear. And
Oak Hall is just such. Already the
opening spring tells of abundant
sales Just ahead.

Crow

The screech ofthe stately rooster,
the bright face of the carly spring
flower, both help our little story.
Do we crow? Yes. Do we bloom?
Yes. Crow because we bloom, and
bloom because we crow. Oak Hall
blooms out with a stock that makes
the old counters groan, and the old
walls burst, and the older statesmen
wonder, and the wooden dealers
wink. And we do crow because it
has been bought cheaply and made
well. And it is to be sold quickly
because cheap Four great varie-
ties in Spring Suit Stock-Men's,
Youths, Large Boys, Small Boys,
and between these several lines
there are over four hundred sorts.
They go from $3.50 to $1,000 for

Youths, $500 to $500 for Large
Boys, from $500 to s12.oo for

Early Pinks.

The sort that we cultivate at Oak
Hall are well-dressed young men
In pursuit of our great mission Of
making young men as charming as
early pinks, we have arranged a SET
ofsizes denominated Young Gents
which cover the larger youths and
smaller mems sizes. Special pat
terms were prepared for this class Of
stock, and into it we introduce all
possible style of cut, material and
make. The prices range from $3.50
to $500. Elsewhere in our stock
are choice materials beautifully
made, but nowhere else in Oak
Hall is there such a concentration
of superiority. The generation of
men for whom these goods were
made cannot recall the time when
there was no Oak Hall in Philadel-
phia. = And yet there is no proof of
the perennial youth of Oak Hall
equal to that which is found in this
particular stock.

RRoF. SAMUEL. y. GROSS, who died
at his residence in Philadelphia, on
Tuesday was one of the most eminent
physicians and surgeons that the cen
tury has produced. He was a great
practitioner, great author, and great
teacher ofmedical and surgical science,
He sprang from humble ancestry. and
was a self-made man. in the sense that
he enjoyed no advantages in his youth
beyond those common to poor country
boys in Eastern Pennsylvania in the
early part of the present century. The
little house in which he was born is
still standing in secluded part Of
Berks county, which to this day re
mains somewhat rude and wild. He
had the divine gift of genius by special
endowment, rather than by inheritance
and it was not difficult for him to OYER
come the obstacles that poverty and
comparative isolation placed in his way.

AFTER a long tussle the bill to pre-
vent the spread of contagious diseases
among cattle has got through both
houses of congress. \ bill OF like pur-
port was defeated in the senate -four
years ago. Last November conven-
ton of cattle raisers was held at Chica-
90, at which it was determined to again
press the matter upon the attention OF
congress, and committee was APP
pointed to come to Washington for
that purpose. This committee, headed
by the Hon. J. b. Grinnell, Of Iowa,
put in an appearance early in the SEES
sion and held number ofpublic meet
ings to which the members of the
house and senate committees on agrl-
culture were invited. The result of
these deliberations was the framing OF
a bill providing quarantine system for
preventing the transportation of dis
eased cattle from one State to another,
establishing system of inspection to
be under the control of the commits
sioner of agriculture, and appropriatins
$4,000 to pay for animals slaughtered
by order of the inspectors.

the House of Representatives was Or
gained with this special object in view.
Mr.. Carlisle was made Speaker because
he was proclaimed to be tariff re-
former, and Mr.. Morrison was placed
at the head of the committee on Ways
and Means for the same reason. A
tariff reform bill was introduced early
III the session, and its authors availed
themselves of all the parliamentary adj
vantages which they enjoyed as leaders
of the majority side Of the House to
compel its consideration. They took
all the time they wanted to debate the
bill and to convince the House and the
country that it ought to be passed.
The end was reached on Tuesday
afternoon. The House, by 4 majority
of four, decided that it did not want
tariff reform as proposed by Mr.. Nor
