 Thanksgiving to come is giving us quite a trade in ta- ble linens and draperies.
 Our resident buyers abroad have visited every linen man. ufactory of note in Europe and gathered a stock, which for variety of fabric and finish is beyond all precedent.
 No other house in western Massachusetts has resident buyers abroad; hence no oth- CT house can have either our goods or our prices. This we say without knowing what other houses have, either in goods or prices.
 Right aisle, west of center.
 If any other merchant is going to surpass us in drap- cries, he is going to do it in some other line than the quail ity of material, richness of pattern, or price. In the eff fort to combine these three we have a good start of every body.
 For example, see chenille portieres at $5, $6, $7.5o and $1o a pair.
 Up the stairs, by vernon-st. door.
 We put out last week at 1o cents yard a great quantity of plaid dress goods that be- longed at 25. We still have the same, and another-a Ger man cloth of as many as 20 plaids; 75c. cloths at so cts. Left aisle, southwest of center.
 Good news in jackets; fur trimmed jackets. Three lots O1 new JacketS are to De SOld this week as follows: At $3.5o, a double-breasted Mel ton reefer, with collar and cuffs of fur; at, $5 cheviot reefer, with full shawl collar of black fur, fastened by four passementrie loops; at $8, 8 diagonal cheviot reefer of the same shape, but with shawl collar of astrakhan fur.
 We wish these three lots were ten times as big, so that people, who come a day late for advertised bargains, could get them.
