silk Umbrellas.

II is fact that In large cities ladies and gentlemen
are now very seldom seen on the street without u
pNrasol or silk umbrella,
We think the umbrella decidedly preferable to
the cane for many reasons for If carried regularly
you are never caught In the rain and always pro-
tected from the sun, besides II has now become q
fashion, greau skill and experience having been
lT9ugnt into use by the manufacturers to develop
this tendency by making them t.rm, strong, light,
and in graceful styles. Our stock of these goods Is
new, artistic, and stylish, and marked at a very
reasonable margin OF profit. We particularly call

spection OF the work of building of the new
female workhouse, which is being done by
Columbus Thomas. In his letter he states that

and condemned Its use In the building. II
was found that this material was used In the
erection OF the building, and about 5000 bricks
will have to be taken down. The amount of
damage done Is estimated at 5000. The com
missioners say that Mr.. Thomas will have to
complete his fob in accordance with the terms
of his contract. Mr.. Thomas was the lowest
bidder for the erection of the new station
house, but as yet the commissioners hold the
award under consideration. Mai, Lydecker
