Last Friday evening, Rev. Mr. Cari

We iee quitey a. strip of ground being
leveled off" upon our Levee, and learn
that two new Warehouses are to be
erected there in the Spring.
While we are pleased to see this sign
of prosperity in a business joint of view,
we cannot but regret the lack of enter
prise which places thern so near the river,
upon a small patch of level ground, in
preference to cutting down a' lot or so of
that unsightly hill and placing them up
on a permanent location and improving
the Levee at the same time. We be
lieve, it would pay them big. The great
drawback, we adroit, is the high price ot
labor, yet we beliexe it will pay.
in passing through St. Deroin, recent
ly,, we had the . pleasure of stepping into
Mr. A. J. Ritter's store.-aod were trully
surprised to see bi$ Mammoth Stock of
Goods. Mr Rilter is an old experienced
hand at lhe -tusinesa; we found that his
Goods have been -selected with great
judgement, adapted to the wants of the
community, and marked down 89 marvel
uuy low aolotlefy competition from any
quarter. Call and see him or his gen
tlemanly f Clerk, Peter Fraker, you will
always find them on hand with a rousing
stock of Goods and accommodating.

A case- of shop lifting has just been
mentioned to us by W. W Hackney, of
the New York Store; -Last Tuesday a
female , plainly dressed but wearing a
large shawl, entered his store, apparently
to purchase goois, but ere she left a set
of hoops were missed, she was charged
with the theft and finally gave them up.
This is not her first offense as we learn,
she evidently being an old hand at the
business. We do not remember the par
ticular description given of her, only that
she has a large tusk-like tooth in the
front of the tipper jaw. Look out for
the tusk, ye Dry Goos dealers, if you
don't want to get bit.
Why suffer from Dyspepsia when so
potent, so tafe, and, o certain a remedy
can'be procured -so easily. Coe's Dys
pepsia Cure is a perfect specific for the
disease. A single dose will demonstrate
l fact. .Let Uiose who are , troubled

LtrsrSatnrday-our citizens were ttartl
ed into aa unusual activity by . the cry of
4,Fire,' find' a grand -rush was7 made; for.
the scene of conflagration, the residence
of Mr. Moses Conner in bcuth Urown-
ville. Happily the fife was extinguished
before more than 50 dollars damage
was done. We cannot too hkbly exto
the energy of our fire department, par
ticularly the intrepid conduct of James
Coleman, who rushed up under the roof
inside, amid smoke and flame, and threw
water upon the fire, where it did im
mensely more good than that which forty
or fifty persons were energetically pour
ing through a hole in the roof upon his
back. The origin of the fire was purely
accidental, and, from what we leam
blame can attach la no one.
A remarkable fact is that not a single
instance has come to the knowledge of C
W. Roback of a failure of his bitters to
give satisfaction in the thousand of cases
in which they have been u$ed, is worthy
of remark,, and undeniable evidence of
their intrinsic virtue

THE 3I0DEI SEWING MACHINE.
(From the New Tor. Herald)
Prominent araW the mechanical triumphs of this
most Ingenious age, common honesty compels us to no
tice the Empire Sewing Machine, commended as justly
strley perfection itself Useful as have been the va
rious sewing machines, from time to time presented
to the public, each one or them has teen cursed with
some radio 1 ('efect, which detracts from general util
ity. Warned by the experience of his predecessors,
the inventor of the Erie Machine has produced an In
strument, combining all the advantages for which
others are vaunted, and obviating every defect which
can be attributed to them by tbe most fastidious critic.
The Empire Machine is a marvelous combination of
simplicity, econemy and perfect workshlp, being dura
ble, free from liability to get out ol order, noiseless
and easy of operation. Its mechanical contrivance Is
sucli as to secure stability, freedom from accident, and
accuracy as to w rkraanship. By the use of the pat
ented shuttle and straight needle it makes a. stitch,
which can neither rip nor ravel while, at the same
time, it can operate perfectly upon every species of
material from leather to cambritfe, with ihreaps of cot
ton, linen or silk from the finest to the coarsest num
ber. As the Empire Machine is gradually supplanting Its
more antique rival? no one In wast of a usefei lnstrn
ment of thiS discriptloh be te or she tailor, eoacisma
ke, dressmaker cr seamstress, can do otherwtsl tba'a
secure one of these econmical and inimitable maohiaes
suited alike for family and manufacturing purposes.
Tbe office of the Empire Menuracturing Co. Is at No.
