YELLOW fever reports both as to
number of cases and fatalities are not
complete. There appears to be but
little system as yet among the physi-
clans and the reports are very incom-
plete and partial save such as are re-
turned from the hospitals. Cases of
fever are reported at GAINESVILLE, Flor
ida. and some isolated cases at Wau-
hatchie, Tennessee, and at st. Louis,
and at cities farther north where
refugees have penetrated. New Or

Amuseuents.

Last Tuesday evening Abbeys Double
Mammouth Uncle Toms Company, unde,
the management Of George Peck, played .,
Wards Opera House to the largest audience
ever assembled in this cosy place of amuse-
ment. the aisles being filed with chairs
standing room even being at premium.
Brockport people have, we might say, been
Uncle Tom'd to death by good, bad and indif-
ferent companies, and the large audience
present was not only surprise to the manag-
er but to all in attendance, but in some man.
ner the news reached here that this was a
first-class company. and such it proved to be.
Ii is impossible to speak of the merits OF
each individual performer, but we cannot re-
frain from mentioning few, especially that
of Baby Peck. child still under five years
of age. as Eva. The conception of the part
this almost an infant herself has of the "child
angel is marvellous and brought tears to
the eyes of many unused to weep. Mr..
Wallace as Uncle Tom was as near perfect
as it is possible to become; Miss Kate Part
ington and Miss Marion Keller, as the two
Topsys were immense, while Marshall and
Mack, as Marks, Sr. and Jr. caused I'M
bounded merriment. Taken as whole.
Abbey's company now leads all others on the
road, and we are pleased to chronicle the
great success manager Peck is securing, who
is too well known to need any notice at our
| hands, but of one thing we can assure Mr. Peck
and that is as long as he brings such fine and
| talented companies to Brockport, just SO
long he will be greeted with large and ap-
preciatiye audiences, -BrockpOu Union,
Nov. 5.
This Company will play in Granite hall to-
night.

IMPORTANT

The advantages which the Custom
Tailorhas always had inthe psst over
the Rcady-Made Clothing Dealer,
with ali people who like to be well
dressed, has been in the fact that
his goods were better made, better
cut and kept their shape better than
the ready-made. And for this he
paid liberal advance over the price
of the ready-Made. For the past
seven or eight years we have been
placing on our counters clothing of
our own manufacture, that for cut,
make and fit cannot be excelled by
any custom tailor, and aside from
not being made to special measure,
is in every respect equal to a custom
garment. The liberal patronage we
have received, and the many kind
words of praise for our fine work,
convinces usthat the public readily
sees and appreciates the difference
between our clothing and the Or
binary ready-made.
Many of the best dressed men in
this city purchase our Fine Ready
Made Clothing, and while we do a
Custom Tailoring business which
for high class work is equalled by
but few tailors in the State, we take
as much pride in the fine work, style
and titsent out from our ready-made
department as from our custom de-
partment. With the advantages we
have from purchasing our cloth and
trimmings in large quantities from
first hands and manufacturing the
clothing ourselves, we are able to
sell our make of clothing as low, or
lower than we should be able to sell
the ordinary ready-made, if we pur-
chased it of the manufacturer and
paid him profit, thus furnishing
our customers clothing that is
shrunk before it is cut, that is equal
to custom made, and in which we
warrant the work and fit.
We not only offer the public the
inducement of clothing of I'M
equalled work and fiat low prices,
but we offer them the largest as
sortment of goods in this part of
the State from which to make their
selection. We take pleasure in
showing our goods to all who will
favor us with the opportunity.
