George Bond, juat a few doors north of the Market House, on Fourth street, invites all to give him a call when In aearch of good things to eat. Right at headquarters, he has unaurpoased opportunities for getting the best produce, fruits, vegetables, poultry, Ac., and he is oontent with a very moderate profit.

After along illness, our venerable dtisen, Dr. Cnningham, hi able occasionally to get out upon the streets. He looks quite a wreck of hia former self. With his femily he made preparations to go to the Michigan Springa this week, but his physician advised the trip delayed until he becomes stronger. 3:

The condition of Councilumu Michael Lamb Is entirely hopeless. He hats been suffering now four wooka from congestion of the bowels. He was rapidly sinking till* morning and his death ia hourly expected. He is surrounded by his Ikmlly and relativea, many of whom have come from a distance.

He told lier that he loved her but the sensible girl stralghtwsy replied that she had no time to listen to such nonsense, as she waa on ber way to Scott A Huston's, to buy a pair of shoes. She went there because her aunt Sue had told her that tnelr stock \yas new, of the latest styles, the best make, and prices reaaon-

A young gentleman at tho depot, yesterday, was overheard to remark, **88rah, you are too all-kilHn' sweet," and a few moments aftorwurd permitted her to pay her street ear fere up to tho city, where she bought nt Riddle's an elegant hair switch manufactured of real hair, right here at home and for less money than is often charged for inferior articles. Riddle manufactures hair gooda of every description. *f ~J

If you want to see a lively place call at R.W. Itippetoe's "White Front" grocery on Saturday—or for that matter any day In tho week—but particularly on Saturday, for then the people have to lay in stock for two days. How Mr. Rippetoe and his active clerks do bonnce about, and the people are going in and ooming out continually. It must require real oxecutivo ability to gather each day the immense stock of fruits, vegetables, berries, butter, eggs and all kinds of table supplies that go out from his houso, always fresh, pure and in good order.

If those of our citizens who are so fortunate as be able to seek health and pleasure tho watering places, will call at Buntin it Armstrong's, before starting, they will be pretty sure to find something in the large and elegant stock of Toilet goods just received, comprising combs, brushes, hand-mirrors, Wicker covered flasks, and soaps, bath gloves and towels, fine colognes, and imported perfumeries—that they want to complete the outfit for their trip.

Yes, come in the evening, or come in the morning, or come when you're looked for, or come without warning, you will still always find Noyes Andrews and his gentlemanly clerks ready to show you a splendid stock of Ijoots and shoes, suitable for all ages and for all stations in life. In lowness of prices Mr. Andrews will not be surpassed. For straightforward dealing he yields the palm to no one. "Good goods at low priccs" Is his motto.

Fly time has como, but Miller A Arleth are prepared to protect your horses with elegant buggy fly nets and heavy team nets, of leather. Of the latter they are manu&cturing in groat quantity. They have also a largo stock of fly brushes. In light harness they show a splendid stock. They have recently engaged one of tho best workmen In the west for the light harness department. For anything In this line call at their establishment on South Fourth street.

Arthur Milligan, at the Marble Front Grocery, on Fourth street, north of Cherry, Is steadily growing in popularity and dally adding now patrons, Quiet and unassuming, lie is constantly on the alert for the best the market affords, in the way of berries, fruits, vegetables, eanned goods, fresh country produce and choioe groceries. He will not be excolled. Good goods and low prices are what draw customers to the Marble Fr®itGr»'1'try.

DAN MILLER.

A GRAND SUCCEBa

AX EXAMPLE WORTHY OF IMITATION,

AaMMg our proniaeat aad worthy busess »«a at this time nay be a»eatioeed the aaaae of Daniel Miller, who, oa aooooat of his Mterpriae aad aueoeas may be considered worthy of special man lion and The Express devotee a portion of its eotames tonlay to that purpOM,

Mr. Miller who ia yet a comparatively young Mao, commenced the grooeiy business on the corner ol Fourth ana Esgle, in the fall of 1859, oa a stock of $196, aad by eloee attention to buaiaeaa, prudence and foresight he haa alread acquired a competency and oae brane! of his business last year aaaouated to nearly as many thousands ss be had dollars ia bis original investment.

Some three years ago he started a branch store on north Seventh street which was from the first, a socces, and over which heatili ha* control. Early last year he established still soother branch on Sixth street, opposite the poetoffice, which waa a splendid investment, but he finally yielded to the solicitations of our fellow-citizen, J. R. Chambers, than whom there is no cleverer man in buainese in the city, and sold him the entire stock in the fall, and Mr. Chambers' eubaeooent success proved the wisdom of Mr. Miller's action and last week a magnificent atock of groceries and proviaiona waa moved into theauperb storeroom on the corner of Fourth and Walnut, opposite the msrket, making Miller's fourth venture. As he alwaya selects first clasa sitoationa, keeps first claaagooda, and employs only the best men at salesmen, this last store will undoubtedly be a success also it is in charge of Wm. Clayton and Wm. A. Mahan, tried and trusty men, under the firm name *of '"Daniel Miller & Co."

Several yeara ago he bought the place, where he commenced business, for the sum of sixteen hendred dollars,and to-day he would refuse $20,000 for it in fact his busineaa ventures are never entered into hastily and without mature thought. From his wonderful nerve and dsah an busineaa, he is thought to be a rash aad unsafe man, but aneh is by no means the case. Every new inveatment is fully looked into heforehsnd, snd when hia mind is fully made up, he enters into the new enterpriee with a viin that always insures success.

About four years sgo he commenced selliag farm wagons one at a time, and finding it congenial and remunerative, be continued until last yesr. His ssles were 125 ia that article alone, mainly the Stndebaker farm wagon and Robinson npring wagon. He however added to hia stock the Bishop wagon, the Troy ragon, Emerson and Fisher's buggies nd Studebaker's buggies, and not only these, but in time were added a|so a general assortment of farming implements and utensilB, so the farmer can find in his establishment anything he wants, from a harrow tooth to a steam threshing machine. One noticeable feature is this, he will not buy or accept the agency for the sale ol «nv machine unle83 thoroughly convinced of its practical utility. This is shown in the case of the celebrated Birdsell's Clover-Huller which, after years o! severe and bitter litigation, was recently decided to be the original invention and stands away beyond all competition. He also has the well known successful Masailon Thresher, the Russell reaper and mower, and McSherry'a noted force feed grain drill. All kinds of plows of the latest improved patterns, as well as the old reliable makes. To accommodate this immense trade he was compelled to erect a warehouse 142 feet in length and twenty feet in width, two stories in height, and it is crammed full of wagons, implements and machinery. He haa in connection with hia other busineaa a large boarding house in charge of hia wife, a worthy woman, who warmly seconds every effort that will advance their prosperity, and by her timely suggestions, he acknowledges that be has often been benefitted. To accommodate the farmer and the ho*ts of people who come from a distance to trade excluaively with him he hss, for a long time, kept a wagon-yard, and the name ''Miller a Wagon-Yard" is probably better known than any other in this part of the aonntry.

This branch of busine** greir id on his hands as to necessitate the building of a superb new atahle of brick two atoriea high, one hundred feet long and fortytwo feet wide, the mow haa a caoacity of seventy-five tona of hay, and as he deals largely in hav and grain, it ia nearly always full. The front below has two neat office rooms in one of which ia the weighing apparatus for his hay scales situated Juat without, and above are several handaome sleeping apartments.

The old atore room which for eight veers waa only twenty by twenty-one feet in siae has been largely increased in demensiona and large additions put to it, bat to the unitiated it still seeme a small place for so large a buaineaa aa he apparently does, but be hea all of hia immense stock except what ia immediately needed on sale, atored away in a capacioua cellar, or in the barn, in lam warehotisea and in different places. To gire a slight idea of his grocery business alone, hla shipment of sugars from New York in one month, thle spring, waa 4*,009 pound*, not including purchases from Baltimore, Cincinnati and elsewhere. So that hia business is positively imtaenw, but book* showing hia last year's sales to be $160,000, and be la limited only by his strength phyalcally, and hie means, lie has aot enjoyed good health for many years, bssi he

falters, and when oat

•f bed, is always at work somewhere. He is-not a hard hand at a bargain Indeed ia a genaroui trader, and the farmer who bet ins to trade with Dan Miller feela at home alwaya after In his establishment. Courteous and affable in his demeanor, he wins the favor of all who deal with him, and hia aucceea ia

marvel to those who investigate thejnat* :, at all. fteoh men are an honor to a community, contributing to its good name, its eoccesa and prosperity. Mr. Will Clieer, his bosiaeea manager, who fa bat twenty-three years of age. is one ol the beet financier* in the city, shrewd, ssjtacions and businees like be has Mr. Miller's ectire confidence, and is as sure to succeed aa life and opoortonlty la grated hits. Te all soA honwt, earnest men who cow pel success by the iodomitable force of their energy and will, the Express haa only words of cheer, eon-tn-ituUuoa and eoeouragwneot.
