In their new advertisement this
week Patterson & Co. call attention
particularly to the new carpets they
have just received. We have examin-
ed the stock and find it to be every
thing they claim for it. The patterns
are handsome, the quality il unsur-
passed and the prices are away down.
A large amount of broom corn has

or two, those who have been holding
it for an advance in price having con.
cluded that the outlook was not prom.

ing any longer. Mr.. Busley, of Elm

1t is nearly seven y ears since James
G. Blaine held any public Office. He
is travelling in Europe as private cit
izen. Yet a letter that he writes is
the talk of England and America for
two days. Suppose that Grover,
Cleveland, seven years after he retires
from office-seven years from March 4,
1Ss0-should write letter!!!
The subject of Rev. Johnson's lee
ture at the Presbyterian Church next
Tuesday evening, is "Whatis my true
road to wealth and honor, and how

gle and we have no doubt the church
will be well filled. The usual admit
lance fee Of 10 cents will be charged.
Mr.. Robert Cook asks us to say that
he would like to have every stock man
who has lost any hogs during the past

the Information for statistical pur-
poses, and it will be published in the
REGISTER. He would like to have
the information within q week or ten
days.
We regret to learn that the Library
Association will be none the richer for
the stereopticon exhibition given the
first three nights of the week under
their auspices. "Prof' Hunt has q
good instrument but he dones't know
how to use it. And he has large
number Of views but his "lecture"
about them, in manner and matter, is
painful. The result has been small
audiences.
The war of Valentines has been
waged fiercely this week, the fun not
being confined to the one day. From
the beautiful old Roman custom of
''pairing OFF, by drawing from box
the name of the fair one who was to
be the fortunate youths "Valentine."
to the exchange of hideous caricatures
and insulting poetry that now prevails
is certainly long step. But steps
downWdrd are apt to be long.
