The man who bought a plug hat years ago when he was married and has worn it on gala occasions since, regardless of passing fashions, was in town this week.

The boy stood on the burning deck Whence all but he had fled, and gone to the popular drug house on the corner of 4th apd Main streets for a spring supply of perfumeries, toilet articles, combs, brushes, liquors for medical purposes.

They are at his well known stove store and can be bought low. As for stoves, for the spring trade, be will not be outdone by his neighbors. Call on him tor anything in that line and remember him also for grates and marbleised mantles. "I would not die in spring-time" I would£go to Cory A Go's for hardw in spring-time, winter-time or anyother time. I would go to Cory's because it la one of the oldest and most reliable firms, keeps the largest and best assortment, and gives the beet bargains. Now, builders, mechanics, formers and all others, go to Gory A Co 'a fur the best and cheapest hardware^
A ,USEFUL INVENTION. Our attention was called yesterday to an economical, convenient and useful invention, which is destined to be of vast benefit to manufacturers and all who use steam as a motive power. It is Stebbins A Bostwick's Spiral Steam Boiler Flue Cleaner, patented in July last. It hss been used here for two months by McElfresh A Barnard, of the Phoenix Foundry, then by Clift A Williams, of the Steam Carpentry Works, the Cherry Street Oil Well, the Terre-Haute Furniture Factory, and at the shops of the Terre-Haute and Indianapolis Railway Company, and other applications have been made for it. Wherever used it gives the utmost satisfaction, and none would do without it. McElfresh A Barnard say they would not have it taken off for five times what they paid for it.
We haye before us a number of certificates from Cincinnati manufacturers, who speak of it in the most enthusiastic terms. When once tested by a man ufactnrer, he at once appreciates its intrinsic merits, and at no price would remove it from his boiler.
Already a large amount of territory has been disposed of, and the prospects are highly flattering for an extensive use of this valuable invention. Hamilton county, Ohio, alone sold for f1,500 and Alleghany county^ Pennsylvania, sold for |2,000.
Messrs: McElfresh, Barnard, C. E. Hosford and others in this city, have purchased the right to use the Flue Cleaner and sell the territory in the States of Indiana and Illinois, and we presume will take immediate steps to bring it to the notice of manufacturers throughout these two States.
The inventors, Messrs, Stebbins and Bostwick will be at the Buntin* House for a few days, and will' take pleasure in receiving calls from persons interested or who may desire to purchase territory in other States. From what we have seen we are satisfied that it is not ofily a useful invention, but that there is money to be made in its sale.
For a nice, neat, nobby, well-fitting spring suit, after the latest fashion and lowest price, we would advise all to go to,110 Main street. Kuppenheimer has them and is receiving more every day. He expects to be able to satisfy the most particular customer in the Wabash Valley throughout the spring and summer. We repeat it, go to Kuppenheimeir's for a nice spring suit at a nice low price. .r* 5
The civil service needs not purifying more than much of the liquors now used. But if you want liquors that never needed purification for want of impurities, you will find them at J. B. Lyne's, opposite the Terre-Haute House. His are the best and purest brands of Scotch, Irish and Kentucky whiskys, and he keeps the Rodhever Carte Blanch champaigne, the best. ..
W. H. Bannister is now in New York. You would readily guess his business. You will learn the result of his visit by calling in at 79 Main street in a lew days. Then you will find one of the finest stocks of piece goods, men's furnishing goods, Ac., in the State. Remember that Black Is his cutter, and that satisfaction is guaranteed. "When Johnny comes marching home again we'll all go down to Duddleston Bro's. and get happy in smoking the best brands of cigars manufactured. Duddleston keeps them and sells them as low as the lowest.. Just think of three clear Havanas for 25 cents. Duddleston may be found opposite the postoffice.
The marbleized mantle is now all the go everywhere. It is tho best, cheapest, handsomest and most lasting. You cannot distinguish it from the finest marble. Builders should bear this in mind, and get the best by patronizing Morris A Haggerty. %hey still have oh with plenty of ras to match?
AtSk R. Freeman's 161 Main street, we fin^'beatyfftil styles of jewelry. The studs, sleeve* buttons and scarf pins are of the most beautiful description, and pure finishedjn end less stjr les of ornamehUUolllgnd design. In the chain department there is a wonderful variety, including ladies' chains, which are exceedingly ornamental.
There is where they |get them. At such a season as t^tis there can be no comfort without fearta and dry feet and in order to provide against misery of this kind you must go to 141 Main street, where all the best rubbers, praiters, boots and shoes can be found at lowest prices.
If there is any luxury in smoking, it can be obtained from Scott Shoafs cigars and tobacco. Scott keeps all the finest brands at lowest prices, and the most fastidious smokers.are always captivated by his msnufacture. Call on Soott, west of the canal on Main street. .,.t if
Peter Miller Is a man after my own heart and I am a man after his own harness. I always find him at the old postoffloe on Fourth street always for a bargain. His harness are ha ndstitched and the most elegant atylea. He also sells trunks and valises, cheap and substantial. l.
Will the world ever become so temperate as to cease drinking tea? We hope not so long as Tuttle remains in our midst. He keeps the best and oet luxurious article raised. He also ps the best coffees, sugars, spices, fruj* and fine groceries in the market.
Ir of all sad words of tongue or pen saddest axe these, 'it mightK hay* been."* I had only purchased my trunks, ises and traveling bags of V. O. bout, 196 Main street.

We claim to sell goods lower than any Retail House in our line of business in the city.
A few Substantial Reasons why we can do so.
1st. We pay no rent and in this way save what costs other grocery houses from two to six per cent, on every dollars worth of goods they sell.. 2d. We buy our goods from manufacturers and first hands, and in this way make a saving in our average of at least four per cent. 3d. Our sales are at least double, if not treble those of any other retal grocery in town, and as this greater amount of business can be done at only a little more expense, it follows that we can on this account reduce our profits at least five per cent. 4th. Being ambitious to build up a still larger business we are satisfied with a much 3 smaller profit than many of our competitors. j?: 7:? TO RECAPITULATE.. 1
Saved in Rent, say 4 per cent. ,-t f. ('lose buying oT First Hands, 4 per cent. By the Large Business we do. 9 per cent. f5
By oar Small Profit System, S per cent.
Total saved Town Customers, 16 per cent.
Here then is the explanation of how it is that we can yet make money notwithstanding our competitors isay we sell at cost. Our sales are double those of any other house in our line of business in the city, and we are ready to teat the matter by a comparison of sales. ,f xk' »*.
