placed at the window of the young
lady's bedroom, and she made her es-

the young lady out and drove her to

BETTER CLOTHING.-Oneo of the con-

is going to be to make all wool cloth

generally has been made so by intro.
ducing shoddy and other substitutes
for wool into its manufacture. Under
the free-w DOL tariff we ought to be able
to get Atwood cloths almost as cheap
