very entertaining and instructive manner. The
port of Ephesus, with its moving pageants,
singing professional and recessional hymns to
Diana, and its representation of the busy life
of great city is a spectacle full of life and
movement, and the concluding scene, the Mel

and the rock -hewn church of the early Chris
tians, is view that for quiet and impressive
beauty cannot be excelled. The appointments
and costumes are worthy Accomplishments to
the scenery.

The first thing we mention in wraps is
rough or boucle stocking net jacket for
ladies and misses fall wears; this is a
jaunty and stylish little wrap with large
metal buttons, price from SO to $3.50.
The next is a short jacket of heavier ma
terial, long in front and short back, most
ly of rough material or astrakan, this is
a very popular wrap, we have ordered
the fourth lot of them this season al
ready. Price from $3.50 up. The next
is the Newmarket, this is the most pop
ular wrap that has eyer been ON the
market. 1t is stylish. it is convenient, it
is warm, it is especially adapted TO per-
sons living in the country as it is very
warm, and we don't believe it will ever
go out of style. We have decidedly the
largest line of Newmarkets that we have
ever had, and we had them made to our
own special order, and at prices far be.

comparison. Newmarkets that sold last

last year at 50, now 81; last year at S12.-
90 now $40, and so on. We have also a
nice line of astrakan and seal plush

The authorities of Dickinson Col
lege, Carlisle, have at last decided to
admit Robert Young, a colored boy,
to the classes of the preparatory school.
Before the meeting Professor Bowers
requested all the preparatory students
who would leave if the boy was adj
mitted to send in designations. None
as yet have appeared. The affair still
occasions much discussion among the
students, as it virtually admits the
boy to the college, but all signs of
active hostility have disappeared since
so many structures on their conduct
have appeared.

robe. The finder will confer a favor
upon the owner by returning it to him

After lingering illness of several
months with that dreadful disease
consumption, death claimed for its
victim our esteemed friend Milton
Watson, aged 81 years, who died at
his home in Middleway, Jefferson
Co., w. Va, Oct. 26, 1886. Just in
the prime of manhood with bright
and prospective hope of a long and
happy future, he was called to pass
over the bridge of time to try the
realities of another world. Thus the
uncertainty oflife. To the bereft fami-
ly may they be consoled by knowing
while they mourn for the departed
member may they mourn not as those
who have no consolation, for he went
not as one scourged and driven to his
dungeon, but that with the unfalter-
ing step he wrapped the drapery of
his couch about him and laid down to
pleasant dreams. X.
