THE Court House Ring has been broken but it should "be kept before the people" that J. B.

"OH my!" exclaimed a beautiful young lady in our hearing the other day, pointing to a decidedly handsome young fellow who wss passing "ain't he handsome 7" It wasn't particularly his good looks, that provoked the remark. It was his neat and tidy appearance, arrayed in a suit of neat-fitting olothes, from Kuppenheimer dt Bro's ready-made clothing emporium, where be found a fine stock of clothing and gents' furnishing goods at the usual low prices.

IT would seem almost incredible if we were to state the number of grocery stores In this city, and the wonder would be how the proprietors could make it pay. The fact is however, that the bulk of business is done by about a dozen establishments. Among these Is thst of White A Melvin, southwest corner of Fourth and Cherry atreets, who, by keeping a large stock and the choicest groceries, the freshest oountry produce, flour and feed, command a very large and constantly increasing trade.

J2 UBINSTRIN !—STEIN WA T! The Boston Journal, in commenting upon one of the Rubinstein concerts, psys the following deserved tribute to the piano-forte used by Rubinstein: "Weshould be guilty of injustice if we neglected to mention the piano used by Rubinstein at these concerts. It is a Steinway, and is one of the finest instruments ever heard in this city. In the hands of such a master it is capable of the grandest effects, and ita magnifioent qualities contribute very materially to the brilliancy of the player's great success. Possessing exquisite tone, and an even quality from the highest to the lowest note, with all the advantages of nice action. It is responsive to the most delicate touch and serves to embody with fitting graces the Inspirations of the composer and performer. Rubinstein is certainly fortunate in having at his command such a noble instrument."

Anton Rubinstein is the best piaao player in the world. He only uses the best piano, and that is without doubt the Steinway piano. Housed them in Europe, and now uses them in this oountry. ANTON SHIDK, No. 182 Main street, up stairs, is the only sgent in this city for these celebrated instruments. Nothing nicer, more useful or durable for a Christmas present than one of these celebrated pianos. Shide hss sold some already, to be delivered on Christmas eve. Give him a call. Fair dealing and no humbug is his motto. —The Isdies will thank ua for directing them to a place which supplies a long felt want In this city. This Is Lockwood's Oyster Saloon, in Cook's new building, west side of Fourth, only one square from Main street. Here oysters are served in every style by a competent cook, and in a neat and cosy room, or in rooms more retired, a dish of oysters can be enjoyed at any hour ol the day, or In the evening —WANTED.—A few more reliable men to sell the Hows SBWINO MAOHINH in this and adjoining counties.
