A WELCOME TO ST. MICHAEL'S BELLS.
Welcome with your mellow chimes
Joyous Bells of happier times.
Silence now resigns her reign
To thy soil harmonious strain.
May thy music cease no more,
Strike as in the days of yore.
Let our hearts rejoice again*
Long we've missed tay cheering strain.
Welcome, welcome, Sabbath Bells,
For with praise each bosom swells,
As thy tones with sacred air
Call na to the house of prayer.
Since thy thrilling peals were hushed,
Hopes have withered,, hearts been crushed,
Other bells have sounded clear,
Death knells o'er the soldier's bier.
Bat those bloody days have passed,
Silent is the warrior's blast.
Now across the ocean's foam
Welcome to thy peaceful home.
Cease no more thy soothing chime,
Echo on through coming time,
When we've breathed our latent vow.
Bing on, ring cn. sweet Bells as now.

THE COLD SNAP.-After a siege of wet and
gloomy weather, wo have had clear skies; but not
without a frost of more or less severity, which we
understand higher up the country was peceeded
by some sleet. Saturday and Sunday were un?
pleasantly cold days, and Monday morning sealed
the fate of tender garden vegetables, and we fear
the young peaches also. Although apparently not
so disastrous in the town, we learn that frost and
ice have been very visible ft few miles in the inte?
rior. We hope for tho best, but are apprehensive
that tho fruit country about Aiken and the upper
country generally will bo minus a crop this sum?
mer. As the planting has scarcely commenced,
we presume we might reasonably hope for better
things to oome.-Georgetown Times.

DRY GOODS MA Tth ?IT.
Market hos been quite lively all tho week, but tho
weather thus far has been too cold for much activity in
tliin summer fabrics. The amount of such stock in the
aggregate at this season of the year is always very large,
and ii it does not move off rapidly at tho proper time
there is danger of heavy losses. However, afewdayBit
is hoped will drive away all anxiety und develop a brisk
demand for all descriptions of goods. The market has
been lower for nearly all kinds of merchandise, and
stocks are believed to bo accumulating with a largo pro?
portion of ourmanuiacturors. lue display of gooda in
some of our large warehouses is magnificent beyond de?
scription. Indeed, there is no place in the world which
can compare with Mew York in this respect. Brown
sheetings are in demand, but prices are a shade lower
and the stock is accumulating. Best brands blotched
goods continue active and firm; other less popular makes
ore lower. Drills are selling freely, nnd some styles oro
a s hade lower. Prints are lower, ov ing to failures in
Providence and th e general tendency of .mer c hau di s e down?
ward. New spring styles are, however, very active. Two
large bills from a Lowell manufactory have been sold
within a fow days, one amounting to S250.000 and tho
other to $300,000. Printed lawns are dull and heavy, on
account of the cold weather. Ginghams are in fair de?
mand without much change in prices. Cambrics and
rolled jackonets are lower but active, M lorias are steady.
Delaines are considerably lower, but good spring styles
are quick of salo at quotations. Tweeds are firm. Clutha
and most woolen gooda oro more active and firmer lu
prices, on account of tho now tariff. Kentucky jeans ore
firm and sell freely. Carpets aro firmer and more active,
flannels are dull. Blankets aro irregular in prices,
without much demand. Foreign goods seem to be
wanted, but buyers expect lower prices except on the
richer class of dress fabrics, which ore selling more
freely. Fine black goods in silks, deluinos, /leo., are
wanted. The market closed with increased activity, and
if the weather is warmer the coming week an old-fash?
ioned rush is looked for.
Boston Boot and Shoo Market.
BOSTON, March 21.-Tho demand if anything isa lit?
tle higher, but with the'receipt of some orders, and with
a fow buyers still here, trade is fair for desirable goods,
and there is an Improved feeling with the trade as a
whole. It has been a general remark with the
trade this spring that a majority of buyers bore
take smaller parcels than usual; heneo a second
call is expected, which will prolong the spring trade
later than usual The demand for ooots and ah oe a for
New York has boon light .this spring, being but little more
than one-half as large as that of last year, when the de?
mand continued quite active up to the middle of June. The
California trade has been much better this spring,
the clearances of goods being nearly doublo those
of 1866. This, with a larger Southern Market; has
kept the shipments almost up to those of last year for
the same time. In prices the market continues about
the same as ot former dates for goods on hand. But for
more desirable goods and for those made to order tho
prices are firmer, with a tendency to advance, it being
impossible to manufacturo at the price for which' a largo
portion of goods were sold, it tho prices ol stock of all
kinds are considered. Tho total shipments of boots and
shoes by rail this week have been 17,964 casos. The total
shipments of boots and shoes by rail and sea for the
Wjcok have been 20,620 cases.

Among the chief points of excellence of the Chioker?
lng Pianos, of which speak the renowned artists in their
om gratula to ry testimonials to the Messrs. Chickering,
are the greatest possible depth, richness and volume of
tone, combined with a rare brilliancy, clearness and
perfect evenness throughout tbe entire scale; and,
above all, a surprising duration of sound, the pure and
sympathetic quality of which never changes under th?
most delicate or powerful touch.

THALBERG.
I consider Ohiokering k Sons' Pianos, beyond oom*
parla on, the best I have ever seen in America,
GOTT8CHALK.
I consider Chiokerlng k Sons' Pianos superior to any
In the world.
They are unrivalled for their singing qualities and for
the harmonious roundness of their tone. There ls a
perfect homogeneity throughout all the registers. The
upper notes are remarkable for a clearness and purity
which I do not find ia any other Instrument, while the
base ls distinguished for power without harshness, and
for A magnificent sonority.
W?HL1.
Your Pianos aro traporlor to any I have ever seen In
this country or In Europe.
I bave never hoard a tone so perfect; it yields every
expression that is needed in muslo, and its quality is
capable of chauge to meet every sentiment. This is a
rare power, ona is derived from the perfect purity oi
Its tone, togother with its sympathetic, elastic and wei)
balanced touch.
.POZNAN SKI.
During the past eight years I have constantly played
upon the justly colebratod Erard Planos; yours aro the
only Instruments that I have found, either here or in
Europe, to equal them in all tholr points of excellence.
