WE feel like proffering 8 little wellmeant advice to young ladies and gentlemen : If you experience a desire to write for the public press,do ndt allow the foolish notion to obtain possession of your mind that your first literary effort must be clothed in rbyme. Nothing can be more fallacious, Comparatively few writers, even those of expetience, are capable of producing good poetry. Upon what assumption, then, should a wholly inexperienced youth hope to|excel in that _particular? Our advice to|young people generally is this : Write prose ; take pains to construct your sentences dorrectly. Un. dertake but little in the statt. A Dparra‘tive of some local_event is/the best sub. ject to begin with. Send jyour produc “tion to your:home paper,apd be sure to read it carefully after it has passed through the bands of the printer. If the latter be a competent person, he will make all necessary corrections, which will serve as a guide for fature efforts, HoripaY GiFrs, in grept variety, at Middleton’s Book Store, i .

BEWARE.—We are infurmed that two strangers are “doing” our city, s«»licitipg photographs and duguerreotypes, for the purpose of sending them East and procuring copies of them, They claim ~ that they can get better copies nt one half the price asked for them by our home artiste, Our home artists: claimm that this statement is untrue ;' that the prices nsked are more than bome prices, and that the pic. tures returned sre poor, inferior things. However-this may be, it is always best to be on one’r guard against. the. state—ments of strangers. The persons alluded to have very fine samples, but their work is not anything to be compared to them.

—Messrs. I. E.

~—The BANNER is issued amidst considerable difficulty this week. Jack Frost interfered terribly with the operations of our mechanical force.

‘he Bankrupt Sale at Rome City. ‘Quite a large number of people were in attendance at the great bankrupt sale of'the Geisendorff property at Rome City, on Tuaesday an i Wedaoesday of Inst week. From this it might properly be ioferred that the property sold "had comn.anded good figures, yet soch is not the facl: The scarcity of money is too severe'y filt by odr citizens that comparatively few are in a position to iovest in an enterprise of any kind, .however promising th - prospect f. r an immediate return may ap pear. | ; ' . _The. real and personal property was sold at less than one third its cash vilve. The principal snle made was that of the “Magnet Mills"—a structure completed about two years ago, and supplied with the very best machinery: attached to any woolen mill in the west. The original cost.of this manufactory exceeds $24,000, and yet it was sold for the petty sum of $B.OOO, the purchasers being Judge Wm. Clapp, and Capt. E H. Fisher, of Albion, and J. C.

THERE is a shoemaker in town who wants a boot tree planted on his grave when he pégs out, to show them that awl ig over. This we find in an exchange, and we only'use it as ‘an introduction to the statement that at- F. W.

DEAR READER,.if any one speaks e¥il of you, Jet ymir life be such that none will believe him, and purchase your groceries and provisions ¢f Groh & High, at Ken anllville, and you will act wiscly. They have ove of the Yest selected groceries in that city, are accommodating, and their prices will suit the most rigorous economist, *

F. W. SHINKE & Bro. request all slow customers having unsettled accounts to call at the Captain’s office before the first day of January next, and talance books. Those failing to respond will thereafter settle with a Justice of the Peace. F.W. means what he says. .34 —2t.

Ecoxomy 1n dress will save many a dollar. It is not always necessary to give a bigh price to secure a good article. At Engel & Co.’s they furnish fine dress suits at a moderate cost, so that persons of limited means can dress well without an extravagant outlay,. -~ *

Several oth er buildings for some tin:e seemed to be in immivent dunger, but there was no wind an ] the danger was soon over. * Mr Mag: gart thinks the fire originated on the out - side of the building and strongly suspects that it was the work of an inceondiary, His lows is about $l5OO.
