A nice shower of rain fell hero yesterday. Calling ip Mrs. C. Laßue’s Millinery and Dress-making establishment the other day, we found ourselves surrounded by a perfect maze of hats, bonnets, parasol*, fans, rlbons, and all the dainty finery so dear to woman—and withal, so becoming too—but which man knows so little als>ut, and which we cart't desorihe, —spreading over counter and shelf, peeping from band-box, drawer and show-case, hanging ou bracket mid against curtain in lavish profusion and beautiful forms and colors. Mrs. Laßuchas truly a select stock of goods, which she says will be sold cheap. Call and sec her for she means business.. Card elsewhere. If you want to freeze just come around.—M. O. CiasKL.
