riety of new fabrics Of the seasonal range
that yearly seems to increase in extent
That the 4" record y Of past seasons at thi:
house, satisfactory as it has at all time:
been, has been beaten this seaaon, requires
but a casual examination. For the past two
weeks or more goods have been arriving
daily until every part of the house and ev
cry department is filled to repetion with
new goods in every conceivable line. BE
sides, some new departments, or special line:
of choice and elegant novelties, have beer
adued for the first time this season. so thai
we are clearly within the bounds to say tina,
there is scarcely line Of desirable, fashion
able, novel or standard goods that is not Il
be found in the present stock.
DRESS GOODS.
This department is particularly rich and
extensive. New fabrics, new colorings, new
novelties, are every where visible, offering
to the ladies variety Of goods from which
to make selections for themselves or theii
families, rarely if ever seen in this com
munity.
The new line of muslin underwear new
and most attractive feature,-has attracted &
great deal of attention. Ii is particularly
choice, and is always complete, notwith
standing the really immense sales that have
been made This is by far the finest line o
these goods ever seen in Ottawa.
The table linens, towels, towelings, ant
housekeeping goods stock is entirely fresh for
this season, and is complete in the elegant
Turkey reds, Turkey red damasks bleached
and unbleachel damasks, the elegant and
choice Barnsby table linens, and as a whole
a stock that will be found unequalled fol
variety, excellence of quality or cheapness
THE CARPET STOCK.
This stock particularly merits attention AT
this season, when large proportion Of our
readers must renew their floor coverings
Few if any goods were carried over from last
year, so that the stock which fills the second
story is entirety nr,c, complete in choice trade
patterns, and particularly rich in designs
made for this house alone-private patterns
in the true sense of the word. This claim
is liable to abuse. but II. j. Gillens carpet
trade has assumed such proportions that
manufacturers readily assent to the privilege
of private patterns in his case, aud the result
is a stock in no way equalled in designs or
coorngs. OF cou Sc the entire range Of fab
RIGS in tapestry and body Brussels, velyets,
Roxburys, ingrains &c, &C., down to a
cheap rag carpet are all represented, with
a variety in each quality to suit the most
exacting taste. In this department all the
usual endless assortment of shades, curtain
goods in every variety of raw silk, jutes,
Madrass cloths, &C., &c. One supreme
advantage this house offers over all others
is this, that carpets for the next so days will
be cut, made and laid free of charge, while
the rapility with which carpets are made,
enables the house to take orders from par
ties living out of town and make the carpets
the same day within few hours, SO that
there is no delay or yexatious waiting.
Adding to these lines a complete boot
and shoe house literally tull of new and de-
srable goods for all wcarers) and q grocery
house confessedly the best in the city, and
it will be seen that II. J. GILLEN offers gen
eral stock which will save buyers the neces-
sity of shopping from place TO place to
fill their memoranda of wants And this
can he done, too, at the best advantage, pc.
cuniarily, at GILLEN's AL low prices ION
temporary "leaders' elsewhere) are met,
and lower prices made in every department
than can be found elsewhere. All are asked
to call and make examination for themselves.

On Tuesday next, the ever popular Tony
Denier Humpty Dumpty pantomine and
specially company will be at the opera
house. The pantomine business is rather
old, but Denier has this season supplied so
many novelties tnat the hardened humply
Dumpty goer will scarcely recognize it, as
companied by so many good things, while
the man who always stays away will
find himself intensely amused if he takes
it in just this once.
The friends of Miss Kate Montgomery, the
very efficient manager Of the millinery de
psrtment at Scott Bros. Cos, will be

the estimation as q lady and ~ manager
of their millinery department, Messr. Scott

her for the future at high salary. She
