Attention is called to the ad
vertisement of B. Dickinson in this

will consult their interest by en
trusting to his long and varied ex
perience, judgment and skill in
giving him a call in his line of busi
ness.
A “Friend” writes from Anti
och : “One more spirit has passed
over the unseen Biver. Mi.-s Aman
da, daughter of Mr J. W. O’Nails,
died on the 18th instant, of typlloid
dysentery and another daughter is
very sick with the same disease.
We all sympathize with Mr. O’Nails
in his great affiictiou.”
Mr. H. Lide Law, ot the board of

others will be repaired as rapidly
M possible.

witlTtheir dames enjoyed tbe occa

people enjoyed the i.ance. The
string band, seated on the stage,

The members of Miss Thompson’s
