opening by a New Firm

On Thursday last Messrs. S. Kann, Son &
Co. opened in the Albaugh building, this city,
with very superior line of goods. The day
was rainy and prevented many ladies from
inspecting the store. On Wednesday night,
when the windows were lighted up, they pre-
sented an attractive and pleasing sight to the
many ladies who were passing. Not expect
ing to see the illumination and dressing, they
stopped to view the beautiful array of dress
goods, and completely blocked the pavement
in front of the store. A visit to the store
shows the main room filled with the latest
styles in fall and winter dress goods, such as
silks, velvets, alpacas, trimmings, &C.; staple
dry goods, cloths, cassimeres, ladies' and
gentlemen's furnishing goods, blankets, com
forts, musins, napkins, table linens, &C.
One room in the second story is devoted to
the exhibition of ladies' and children's furs,
wraps, cloaks and shawls, of the latest Paris
and Berlin styles. This room will be spe.
cial fayorite with the ladies. A gentleman
has only to stand on the outside and enjoy ~
the admiration of the ladies as they examine
the various styles. Another room, in the
same story, is occupied by carpets, rugs, has
socks, oil cloths, &C., in which some fine
styles are shown.
The Messrs. Kann are accommodating and
,obliging, and no doubt will receive a share of
trade

ashes, and the wheat is coming up in spots,
weak and spinding. That sown early in
September is looking tolerably well. While
there has been no profit in growing wheat the
mast two years-many fields not paying the
expense attending them-yet farmers must
sow to a certain extent to keep their land IN

What the farmers of Maryland need is pro-
lection against the gambling of spectators in
grain, who buy and sell what they never had,
and set the price for them a half year ahead.
