The Express says: "Wm. G.

Mr. L. Felsenheld, we regret to learn, is contemplating a removal from this city. About the first of March he will dissolve his connection with the firm of I'Vlsenluld A Jauriet, and go East to either Pittsburg, Detroit or Cleveland, to engage in the dry goods business on an extensive scale. Mr. Jauriet will continue the business bore. Inorderto reduce stock before the withdrawal of Mr. Felsenheld, the goods now in their store will be closed out at or below cost. We are sorry to part with Mr. Felsenheld but fool quite certain that the bus iness of the popular Marble Palace will not suffer in the hands of Mr. Jauriet. It is a leading bnslness house, and one In which every citizen feels a Justifiable local pride. .r V,?•"! 1
