OUR TURN.

DIabolical smiles were observed p laying
over the countenances of our merchants,
when the other day the festive zephyr
struck us, and the relaxation Of the elOnga.
ted and rigid countenances took on alarm
ing symptoms of excessive hilarity as the
wailing, insipid rain storm developed into a
full fedged second class blizzard.
Especially were the dry goods and cloth
ing men happy as they rubbed their hands
in cctacies and declared that they would
now show those fellows, that were still robed
in tissue-paper underwear, fur-trimmed lin
en- ulsters and straw hats and declaring that
they were too warm. that they must now
come to time or freeze to death.
1t had been a hard struggle for dealers,
some had sighed and said they were stuck
on wooden underwear. others had groaned
and declared that overcoats wouldn't go,
while the man who handled seal-skin
saques had made application for the first
opening in a lunatic asylum.
Every dog has his day, the ice cream man
is at last crowded to the wall, the fan is
layed away for the season, the street slipper
is called in and now the hilarious dealer in

CHRISTMAS GOODS.

1t is interesting and pleasing to behold
the beautiful array of Christmas goods, SO
nicely displayed in almost every shop win
dow in the city. There is scarcely "A store
in town that has not trimmed its windows
and counters with handsome things in their
line The sun shone out bright and clear
yesterday, and although the streets and side
walks were very slushy, our people who had
been shut in by the inclemencv of the two
preyiors days, were out pretty generally,
looking around among the stores.
Harding & Fisher and the posioffice book
store display the most beautiful Christmas
gift; many Of which are strikingly hand
some. The drug stores 100 exhibit charm
ing dressing cases and other articles suitable
for Christmas gifts.
THE Fair" is full of beautiful things for
the children. The dry goods stores are all
trimmed in holiday attire and the m llinery
stores display elegant and costly articles sor
the adornnent of the ladies. In short every
store in the city has its attraction and all
will receive their share of attention from
now until New Years day.
