The fact that Carter aad Co., of George street, are the only Drapers in DunediH doing a strictly Cash Trade who import their own Goods direct from Home Markets, is the one cause of their being able to sell cheaper than any other firm. Carter and Co have just opened, ex e.s. Coptic arid Kaikoura, 16 cases Men's and Boyi* Clothing, and, in consequence of the desperate scarcity of Ready Money, they have decided to offer the whole lot, for a few weeks at landed Cost. Therefore, call, inspect and judge for yourstlf Carter aad Co,, 60 and 62 George street, Dunedin. ' In all the popular songs of Ireland, even taking the street ballads in Gaelic and English, there is not to be found an impure or even aa immodest sentiment. The general morality and stainlessness of tha Irish peasant's songs make them, says the Dublin University Review " the very antipodes of the vulgar effusions which find such favor with his brother Hodge in England." Cincinnati, Sept. 15.— The publication is made here to-day of a startling disclosure in society at Celina, Mercer county Ohio where three or four youths, scarcely of age, soaa of leading and wealthy citizens, are under bond for burglaries committed in that town C»a of them is Clayton Marsh, son of Hon. T. D. Marsh speaker of ike Ohio House of Representatives. Another is a son of County Clerk Landfar, and several others are suspected. The citizsns fear that no adequate prosecution can be had. owing to the influence of the friends of defendants. In his gossip about bis American trip Archibald Forbes, speakine of Washington society uses the expression, " If, by a surprise of fortune, the President happens to be a gentleman." Thia is quite in the style of polite comment frequently adopted by the Englishman who is treated like a gentleman Here, an i feels compelled when he goes home to create tbe impression that all our public men are lout? Without assuming that all our Presidents are Chesterfields, we may suggest that if in all the list from tbe beginning there can'be found one rmn so devoid of honour, intelligence, and decency as the aver age male member of the reigning house of England for the same time, we should like to bear his name. Our White House has at least been spared the Bc*ndals which decorate the careers of the male descendants of George 111. The trouble with Archibald Forbes and a good many other men of his stamp is that a snob is their ideal of a gentleman.— Boston Record.
