The arrival of two large freigh teams this morning in front of Sum merfeld Bros store, caused our re- porter to pause while going the rounds of the city for news. After waiting few minutes he observed several large packing eases being unloaded. This excited his curiosity, and he repaired to the interior of the store where he found them being unpacked, and mo- ticed that they were filled with boys and men's clothing, which are espec- iallv suited for the holidays.
 We also observed several cases which contained q full line of holiday presents such as silk handkerchiefs, plain handisorehiefs, embroidered handkefchiefs, initial handkerchiefs and in fact almost everything that is suitable for holiday presents. MT Summerield stated to us that he had employed a force of six extra clerks so that everybody could be waited upon at once and not be kept waiting We would advise all parties desiring holiday goods, or who would like tr make thei1 lady or gentleman friend { suitable present, to visit the store ot Summerf9ld Bros, and they will fine what they want. 12-21 If
