On account of the intended erection of
fine building on the corner of Court
aud Main streets, our very prosperous
and esteemed friend William Thorpe
wishes to announce to the public in
general, and particularly to his kind
friends aud patrons, that he will vacate
the old corner on or about the first of
May, where, from our own knowledge
and good authority, our friend William
has made his fortune by strict attention
to business, and keeping everything in
his line pure and iirst-class in every
particular. He intends storing his val.
uatle stock of liquors away carefully,
and will then go on n trip back East,
there to enjoy himself for few months
among his relations and old friends,
whom he has not seen for many years
Mr.. Thorpe intends to occupy the old
corner again on the completion of the
new building.
Mr.. Thorpe's customers will certainly
miss him and his class OF goods very
much for few months. He undoubted-
ly kept one of the most retiring aud
respectable places of the kind in the
State, as he has never been known to
give any person under the influence of
liquor drink in his house. This has
been one of his strict rules and he
always carried it out to the letter. The
city cannot anord to lose house of this
class, as il has certainly been a credit to
the trade, and we hope after few
months recreation to see our friend
William return with renewed health
aud back at his old stand again on the
corner.

1t will be remembered that Mr.. Gas
ton Oxarart, an old resident of this city,
and one of its wealthiest citizens, died
here suddenly few days ago. In some
way the idea prevails in the French
Colony" of which he was prominent
member, that the deceased was foully
dealt with. Some people imagine he
was poisoned by some person. His long
time friend, Mr.. Eugene GARNER, is
making arrangements to have the body
exhumed and submitted to au autopsy,
in order to determine the truth or false
ness of the rumor. The operation vii
probably be performed to-day.

THE BUSINESS BOOM.

Every indication, supplemented by
numerous facts, is to the effect that the
country is prospecting, business is
booming, and that the prospects are
most encouraging. The latest to con
tribute to the h~opefulness of the situa-
ton is Assistant Postmaster General
Hazen. He states hat the postal re-
ceipts for the six months ending
March /, 1886, exceeded the CORES
ponding period of the preceding year
by 81 800 GOO. This he rightly at
tributes TO "a revival of business.
Though, as he says, there was a falling
off in these receipts, comparatively,
later in the spring, owing to labor
troubles, yet during the summer and
fall months business resumed its actiy-
ity, and the postal receipts indicated a
business boom. The prospects. he
maintains, are favorable. Increased
receipts will be the order of the day
owing to increased business, and the
postal service will, az he predicts, soon
DO self-sustaining again.

Tho cooking of cabbage in the white
house during the presidents reception
hours is the latest thing complained of
by the fastidious Westinghouse. Cab
bage is not held by the scientists to be
n desirable esculent, but it commends
itself to hardy, muscular people who
possess palates that have not been
spoiled by high living. The aroma of
boiling cabbage mingled with the odor
of chrysanthemums is something new
in social circles, and we are not pre-
pared to speak of the combination as a
promoter of appetite or as an attraction
for official levees. Fashion has a great
deal to do with these things. however.
