LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

THE newspapers have a great deal to cay about the fashions having all run into ladies' bonnets,,and that little attention is paid to anything else in the way of costume but it is not correct for all cultivated people consider a nice gaiier, boot or slipper,}usl as essen tial to full dress aa an/ other article of a lady's trouss* a«. And gentlemen are not dressed genteelly unle« they have a nice fitting boot or gaiter. In this connection, we need hardly impress our readers with the fact that the place to secure the latest style, the beet material and most elegant workmanship, is mt N, Andrews, 141 Main street. Fact!

THE Singer Sewing Machine agency of this city, has just received another invoice of two hundred Family Machines, with all the latest improvements which the gentlemanly supervising agent, Mr. J. A. Marshall, will take pleasure in showing to all wbo desire to see the beautiful work done on the "Singer." It should be remembered by those wishing to purchase, that the Singer is the most popular machine in the market, they selling in 1871, 52,734 more machines than any other company. Office No. 76 Main street.

WE do not often bother our readers with those ballots on cars and other places that are given such prominence in many political journals, and are known as "straws" which show the way the wind blows. But we have one that indicates a surprising unanimity this Fall. A vote was taken on a wagon driven in from over the river yestei day, with the following significant result: For Engles fe Tutt's, 1. He was going there to buy shoes for himself, his wife and children.

THE retail grocery trade has become a great feature in the business-of this city. Among the leading houses is that of R. W. Rippetoe, familiarly known as the "White Front." We doubt if there is a retail grocery store in the country presenting a finer or superior assortment to select from. Mr. Rippetoe makes it a rule to purchase at the head of the market, and from tho leading lrult and vegetable dealers, hence his goods are always fresh and ol strictly prime quality, -i

THE schools have been postponed ono week in consequence of the extreme heat. This will allow the children and parents ample opportunity to get their school books ready for the opening day. As remarked last week, Bartlett A Co. have a full and complete stock of books, slates, copy books, paper, pencils, pens, inks,* and every thing needed. Call at either of their Main street stores, and your every want in this line will be supplied.

GENTLEMAN, have you been in at Bannister's this week to see the first lot of piece goods he has recelvod for tho fall trade? The.stylos are very becoming, embracing a nice line of Diagonals, French and English suitings. Theso are the first of the season and they are just in tiino, for yesterday gave us a hint that cool autumn weather may soon be expeoted, when thicker and warmer garments will feel comfortable. *'~'i

IF you want to Lis copper-boctoinrfd, slato-covered, titi-plated, guttered, spouted, or sheet-lron-clad, call on Moore A Haggerty to do the job. Their facilities aro such that the work will be done with surprising promptness and at astonishingly low rates. They truly merit a goodly support from our people, as they are excellent mechanics and honest dealers In genuine stock. Look at their marbleized mantels.

COURTSHIP MADE EASY.—A young man who bought a suit of clothes at John Kuppenheimer's, not long since, stepped up to a girl last Suuday night, that had sacked him the week previous, and with a brave heart asked for her company. One look at his suit and she said "yes." Young men, that speaks volumes. It says buy your clothes at Kuppenheimer's, 118 Main street.,-,,

THE iamous "Watch on the Rhine" cannot be compared to some of the Watches to be soen in the show cases of S. R. Freeman, under the National House. There you will see gold and silver Stem Winders, and Opera, Matinee, and Nilsson gold chains, most beautiful to behold, together.with elegant rings, studs, bracelets, pins and every description of jewelry.

OFFICERS Vanderver and Buckingham will appear In public within a few days, arrayed in the handsomest uniforms, in material and fit, ever worn by policemen in our city. Brennan & Co., Ohio street, late of Chicago, are the merchant tailoring architects employed. Judging from their work in this iustance, they thoroughly understand their business.—[Gasette.

A RKAL OK*of an establishment is the drug store of Oook A Davis, under the Council Chamber. Everything is so neat :*nd orderly. Their goods being all fresh, and their stock well selected ani complete, they are pepared to do well by their patrons. The ladies will find there an elegant line of perfumeries and toilet goods.

8ADDI*BS and harness, trunks and valises, bridles and halters, curry coutbs, whips and hone blankets, Miller's harness oil, and everything in this line, Peter Miller famishes yon at the very bottom prices. You know where to find him, la the old Post Of* fice building.

CERTAINLY this city has a brighter foture in store than any other inland city in tho Union. Its prosperity, too, is of a substantial character, /or the reason that the business men of the community are solid, substantial citizens, most of whom have brown with the city's growthsuch, for instanoe, as the firm of Cory A Co., the well-known hardware dealers, wbo, by a systematic conduct of business, honesty and Isir dealing with all customers have established a trade that has kept pace with the city's growth, until thoir establishment is the recognized headquarters for all articles in their line.

EUREKA!—Thus cried the Grecian philosoper as be leaped irom his tub, the grand principle of a specific gravity making him oblivions to all bis surroundings. Eureka! cry we, as we leap from the life thraldom of that most annoying of all annoyances, a poor cooking stove, to the blissful exstacy of one that "bakes to a turn," and from which there can be no complaint. R. L. Ball has more just like them. Give him a call and the profits will be yours.

IT is generally known to be a fact that no where have our grocers any superiors for accommodation or in abundance of the good things of lite always on band. It is equally known that White A Melvin can Supply the housekeepers with every needed article for the table, including fruits, country produce, choice groceries, snd, in fact, any article to be found in market, and they will promptly deliver the same at your residence free ol charge.

OFF of Main street, the leading business tbroughfare is now Fourth street. In fact there is more business now done on that street than there was on Main street ten years ago. At No. 10, South Fourth Street is located an establishment which the people, especially those who study economy, are fast finding out,is the place to get cheap boots and shoes. How they sell so low is a mystery, but customers to don't seem anxious to solve it, so long as they get such bargains.

AN Ohio you'h recently won a bet which he made that hecould drink two quarts of Cincinnati whiskey, but unfortunately the amount of the wager was not enough to support his widow. Had he sent to J. B. Lyne, opposite the Terre-Haute House, for the Pure Kentucky Whisky, the result would have been different. At any rate Lyne sells nothing but the best and purest branbrandies, wines and whiskies.

Well taken and properly finished photographic pictures are superior to any that are made, because they are perfectly true to nature. Such pictures can be had of D. H. Wright, at his new Grand Central .Photographic Hall, which is now the favorite resort of all who undersand where to get good pictures. Have you visited his new gallery If not, do so at once.

THE tax having been taken off tea and coffee, consumers are entitled to the reduction. Some dealers having an old stock on hand are unwilling to make the reduction, until they make a new purchase. Perry Tuttle, of the New York Tea Store, was the first to make announcement of the reduction, and has since been selling on this basis. —... —. .I

GEO. A. HAYWARD A Co., at No. 80 south Fourth street, have now regular sales on each Saturday afternoon,when bargains can be had in all kinds of household furniture, queensware, glassware, notions, eto. Immense crowds attend these sales and go away carrying huge bundles, apparently well paid for their attendance.

SATURDAY evening is always a'good time to buy your cigars for Sunday smoking, and the place to get tbem is at Scott ShoafTs, on east Main stieet, near the oanal. Here you will also fine the choicest brands of smoking and chewing tobacco.

IT Is just as well to have a good wagon as a poor one, when the Fish Brothers' Farm Wagon is sold on such favorable terms by Ralph Liwrence, the agent in this city. He can be found at Srnyser A Milton's warehouse.

THE sudden change in the weather this week is just the thing to bring on the ague. You needn't shake more than once or twice if you make immediate use of Barr's Ague Medicine, for sale at Gulick A Berry's.

GOLD or sliver watches, wedding rings, jewelry of any description, silver and plated ware, an elegant and well selected stock, ot the finest and purest material, may be iound at Riddle's.

—A NEW CAMPAIGN.—Ihavo removed my store from tho old stand, 92 Main street, to 117 Main street, south side, the old stand of Slaughter «fc Kerkhoff, where I have more commodious rooms and elegant quarters. I desire to return thanks to a generous public for the patronage extended to me in the past, and hope for its continuance. I desire to clothe and adorn all the people. They will find my stock inexhaustible. It will constantly be replenished with tho newest styles. Of gents' furnishing I mske a speciality, and no one ahall undersell me. My new location is four doors west of Fifth street, sooth side. Here I hope to greet all old customers, and many new ones.
