This is irrespective of 20 propellers." If the spirit of trade _locates_ any where on this earth of ours, it does so specially at Buffalo, where dollars and cents, cents and dollars, occupy almost every thought of almost every mind. It is very amusing to look at the advertisements in a Buffalo paper. I shall give two or three as specimens. Another Lot of those worsted dress goods, at one dollar a pattern, received this morning. A. Wattles. French Corded Skirts. Another lot of those French corded skirts just received, and for sale at J. G. Latimer's, 216, Main Street. Crash, Crash. Pure linen crash, slightly damaged, at half price at Wattles' Cheap Store. What kind of goods do you want? Ladies and gentlemen can find every kind of goods they may wish, in the dry goods line, at Garbutt's, plain or fanciful, any kind of dress you are in want of. Call at the Big Window, 204, Main Street. Running off again. After Friday next, I shall commence running off my beautiful stock of Paris muslins and Balzorines, at great reduction. N. B.

Sugar-coated Indian vegetable pills. G. B. Smith. Illustrations of the most ridiculous kinds show that newspaper advertisements must be very cheap indeed, for everything literally, from a washing-tub to a steamboat, is advertised daily for sale at Buffalo. Buffalo is a sample city of the lake frontier of the United States, better than Rochester, a more manufacturing mill-power place; a specimen of what enterprise, energy, and paper money credit can do: a specimen of the border population, where hatred to England reigns supreme among the lower classes, and where a residence of six months would quite cure any English ultra-radical destructive of good education; an ultra-radical destructive of no education, or half educated, would, however, be vastly improved.
