Glorious News.

The arrival of two large freight teams this morning in front of Sum- mertield Bros store, caused our re- porter to pause while going the rounds of the city for news. After waiting a few minutes he observed several large packing cases 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 mems clothing, which are espec- ially suited for the holidays.
 We also observed several cases which contained full line of holiday presents such as silk handkerchiefs, plain handkerchiefs, embroidered handkerchiefs, initial handkerchiefs, and in fact almost everything that is suitable for holiday presents. MT. Summertield 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 to make their lady or gentleman friend a suitable present, to visit the store of Summerf9ld Bros, and they will find what they want. 12-21 If

A Dry Goods House.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Jan. I9.-Quite sensation was created here this morn ing by the announcement that the retail dry goods firm of John S. Emery x Go. had given deed of trust on it's stock of dry goods, with possession, to Mir. A. N. Woodson, for the benefit of the creditors, none being preferred, The liabilities of the firm amount to $26, ,000, and the assets are thought to be in the neighborhoOd of $45,000. The firm is composed of Messrs. John s. Emery, W. A. Fitzgerald and W. A. Dennis, and commenced business in St. Joseph about eighteen months ago.
 Their business was conducted on the cask plan and they had . very large trade. It is said that their sales ranged from $500 to 5000 per day. The members of the firm have been at loggerheadS for several months, and that is thecause of the present em- baragsment. Their bills have been maturing for several days, and on ac. count of the quarreling among them selves no effort was made to satisfy them. Their creditors are principally in St. Joseph, Kansas City, St. Louis Chicago, New York City, Rochester, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati. Ac- cording to the terms of ths deed of of trust, Mir. Woodson will paydivi- dends of 10 per cent to the credit ors as fast as the money aceumulates, after the expense of selling the goods is taken out, until the claim of all the creditors are satisfied. From the present indications, the claims will be paid in full, MT. Woodson commen- ced to take an inventory of the stock to-day and will not be able to con- plete the task until the middle of next waek. The store will be kept open and the bulk of the goods sold at re- tail.

THE records of the last years examinations under the civil ser vice laws of New York and Mas sachusetts show that the soldiers, competing on equal terms with the civilians, demonstrated & gen eral superiority of qualification for appointment. This proves, it is urged. by a certain class of reform e s, that the veterans do not need any legal discriminatiOns in their favor in order to obtain their full share of public patronage. It also proves, we should say, there is no excuse for turning soldiers out of offices to give places to Democratic civilians; and therefore such chan ges should not be confirmed.

JUST at time when the export trade in American wheat seerAs to be in decadent state it is 8 relief to hear of the growth of new commercial enterprise in which our business men need fear no rivalry It has long been known that one of the chief iuxuries, if not prime necessities, as is believed by many Britishtrs of the average French man, is a dish of frogs. This being so, 1t has been a matter of serious alarm in France for a few years past, that the frog ponds cf the Gironde and Vendee have been showing signs of exhaustions. In deed, the case is so bad that the supply had fallen so low last year that none but the richest could afford to buy the delicate ba- tlachians. At this point, however, American enterprise came to the rescue, and the mark cts of Paris are now being supplied with canned frogs shipped from New York and Baltimore.
