The Mammoth Jewelry House of G. H. Hull.

In response to an invitation from Mr. G. H. Hull, our city jeweler, we treated ourselves, a few days since, to an inspection of his stock of rich wares tn gold aud silver, and we confess to a feeling of great surprise at its extent and variety, no less than the fine quality of goods which ho hero finds a market for. Those whose memory o f the jewelry business runs back only ten year*, will call to mind tho almost utter want of teste and style which then prevailed, and that It was then necessary to send East for nice goods; aud such can but feel gratified tliat they can now find at home the largest and richest variety of goads for use and ornamentation. The sMthrtis part of our natures—that which beautifies and adorns, aud surrounds us with the inarlis of taste aud culture, receives more and more attention as we grow in wealth and culture. Hence the increased demand for, and Mr. Hull's efforts to supply a Hne of goods corresponding with thia advancement. Wafouud a line of ladles’aud geutlemsu’s gold watches, equal in extent to the stocks kept by the largest houses in the West, ranging in value from S3O currency up to S2OO and S3OO gold, it may uot be generally knowu that a good gold watch for ladies' use, of fine quality aud reliable time, ca n be had at Mr. Hull's at s4o,ssoaud S6O- The new feature—stem winding or keyless ualcites—he keeps in good supply; aud though expensive, yet being of first-class manufacture, they meet with ready sale.— His stoek of American watches, of all the best manufactures, is very large, and alway s sold at closest prices. The absurdity of supposing that auy oi the leading houses of New York can offer better inducements than Mr. Hull, is made evident by the fact that Mr. Hull’s current rates are lower than the prices advertised by tliese bouses. We saw a stock of Indies' and geutiemeu’s gold chains, worth from sls up to $l5O each, that would please the taste of the most exacting, lu jewelry we found fine imported pink corals, Bohemian garnets, American manufactures of gold etruscau, frosted aud engraved sets, lockets aud cliarms, now so fashionable, wedding aud engugemeut rings, choice bracelets, gents’ seal rings, shirt studs, pins, and many other beautiful and desirable articles of ornamentation.

The slock of solid silver ware, guaranteed in ail respects as line as manufactured in this country, and bearing Mr. Hull’s stamp on each spoon, fork, &.C., is so large thut we know it would surprise many who have made no examination. Here is your place it you want to revel in visions ol beautiful bridal fifts, and especially if you want your visions realized. <Combinations of silver ware, ia cases, for holiday and wedding presents, abound. A feature in this connection is that every article sold is engraved, if desired, free of cost. There are many patterns very desirable, but they must be seen to be appreciated. Probably no improvement of modern times in the way of table-ware, ornamental and useful, has been so marked with the approval of the public, as that in tine electro-plate ware. Embracing as it does richly chased tea acts, ice water sots, berry dishes, castors, cake baskets, fruitstands, butterdishes.syrup cups, fine table cutlery, spoons, forks, &c., it meets the requirements of the fastidious housewife, aud cultivates a seuse of beauty, that in solid siver would requite half a fortune to purchase, and strong boxes to protect from those who covet their ueighbol s’goods There were many items of interest connected with Mr. Hull's establishment, which,’ if space allowed, we should like to mention. His stock of Seth Tiiomas ds French cl ecks, geld, silver aud steel spectacles, is large, as is his stock o f gold, silver and ivory-headed canes, fine opera ' glasses, dtc. There are hundreds of things one might fancy as a gilt to a friend during the coming holidays, a time when Mr. Hull's clerical force is taxed to the utmost to wait upon customers. In wutch work, none but competent and experienced workmen are employed. Mr. Hull himself Is a practical watchmaker, built from the ground up, we might say, having commenced the business in his thirteenth year. Right here is a point that many do not consider. Where do yon leave your watch for repairs? 1. it safe over night? This is an important consideration in leaving valuable goods for repairs. Mr. Hull has the largest burglar and fire-proof safe to be found in any jewelry establishment in the Went. In conclusion, we attribute his great success to enterprise, a knowledge of his business, and capital ample to carry it on; and we can unhesitatingly my that yours is no misplaced confidence If you buy your goods during the coming holidays, or at any time, of the proprietor of the jewelry establishment at 86 Main Street, LaFayetle, Indiana. His prices are dose and low, and hrs ‘goods are every whit as good as the best. Oa Doeember 13 bio stack of diamonds, ($30,000 worth), selected with eqpecisU reference to the holiday trade, will be opened.— They will be well worthy the inspection of those who contemplate such an ierue fount —LeFofctta Journal.
