great addition to his stock turned a current of curtomers Into the tune-worn doors of the
“ STORE, ”
Now we do not crave the entire trade of this enterprising town, still, if our friends but exercise
a little patience when we happen to be full and more, we will dance attendance to the utmost
of our very humble abilities, and if after all, they seem not disposed to purchase, we shall not
condesccnd to ape the custom of boasted superiors, and dismiss them with barbarian rudiness
but with thanlcs for the call, cheerfully renew the invitation.
According to our promise of last week, we now annex a brief descriptive list, from which
our readers may gather some interesting facts.
The first fact in importance is
A CHALLENGE,
that we will give more Goods for the same amount of money, than any merchant in Norwalk.
If perchance we have a neighbor so averse to “acknowledgments,” as to accept this challenge,
we hope he will keep his angry gmssions down and give us a fair contest, for in good faith this
offer is made; and for the benefit. of “'1‘u1~: Pi-:o1=LI-3," whom also we summon to adjudgc.
Fact second, is the amount of Goods on hand, and ifin calculations we happen to fall short a
few thousand yards, then it must be borne in mind the difficulty of arriving at the precise quan-
tity, and ifyou please, set this down as an error of the head.

SPRING IS COMING.
Spring in coming! Spring is coming!
Birds are chirping, insects humming,
Flowers are peeping from their sleeping,
Streams, escaped onward lea ping,
In delightful freedom rushing,
Dancing along in music gushing,
Scenes of late in dcadncss saddened,
Smile in animation gladdcued;
All is beauty, all is mirth,
All is glory upon earth.
Shout we then with Nature's voice,
’\Velcomc Spring! Rejoice .' Rmolcn l

Let us rove with one another,
To our well-remembered wild wood,
Flourishing in Nature’s childhood;
\Vhe-re a thousand flowers are springing,
And a thousand birds are singing.
\Vhcre the golden sunbeams quiver
On the veiidure-girded river;
Let our youth of feeling out,
To the youth of Nature shout,
VVhile the waves repeat our voice,
W'elcomc Spring ! Rejoice ! Rejoice !

NARRO\V ESCAPE.
A few months since, one of the traveling
agents for a large house in this city, whose
route brought him into the small town of
New Frankfort, Scott county, lndiana, as
was his usual custom, ‘put up’ at the’ best
inn which the town afforded.
pcned that on the afternoon on which the
agent arrived at the inn, the landlord’s
daughter, Nelly,a blooming country lass
of seventeen, on the invitation of one of
the neighbors, Mrs. Dolbear, living a coup-

would stay with her friend Susy, as she;
had promised; So without any hesitation,
the agent was put in possession of Nelly’s
room (her bed included) which adjoined
that occupied by the old folks; and he, af-
ter looking in vain for some instrument to
fasten the door, undressed himself, taking
care however, to place all the money (a-
bout $300) which he had belonging to his
employer, in the pocket of his pantaloons
and put them under his pillow for safety;
and also, as a protection against robbers, he
puts loaded revolver, ready capped for ser-
,vice, under his pillow. After these arrang-
ments were completei, with the strongest
assurance of safety, he retired, little dream-
ing that he should be disturbed that night.
The quilting party at which Nelly was,
a guest, did not break up until considerably;
past midnight, when, somewhat to her dis-!
a- pointment, she found many young ladies‘
who had come a much greater distance
than she had, and who, owing to the late-
ness of the hour were desirous o! staying at
Mrs. Dolbear’s till morning. Nelly, with l
true noblcuess of heart, furbore to press
her claim to her young frieud’s hospitality
for the night, lcst some of those who lived
filf[l1el'OfT sl.ould have to go home. So
she arrangetl with Susy, who was one of
her most intimate fuiends, that she should
go home with her for company, and that
she should stay at Nellyls all night. Un-
der this arrangement they started in the
direction 0:" Nelly’s home, which they
reached after a walk of about an hour,,
bringing the time up to about two o’clock'
in the morning. Without making the least
noise, they effected their entrance by the
back door of the house, and, Nelly leading
the way, betook themselves up the back
stairs in the dark, to Nelly’s room, with-
out having disturbed the old fol is, and
without the least suspicion of finding an
intruder. And, as they had arranged be-
tween themselves, to keep from the old‘
folks the lateness of the hour at which they
arrived home, their conversation, while
disrobing themselves to retire, was carried
on in a whisper. The agent's ear, from
long habit and practice, possessed nice pro-,

Nelly of course partaking of Susy’s alarm,
rushed into her fatlier’s room followed by
Susy.-leaving our hero in perfect fits of
laughter, from which he has not recover-
ed to this day, as he laughs immoderately
.everytime he sees a pistol, or the occur-
rence come< to his rcir.embrance.
Ne-lly’sfa1her was up in a twinkling, and
a light being obtained by means of a loco
foco match, the whole ufliiir was explain-
ed to the girls, who afterwards passed
through the room of which our hero had
full possession, with a light in band, gath-
ered up their personal clothing as they
passed t'nrough—to another room in the
attic story of the l:ouse——-where they re-
tired and soon fell asleep.
Susan Dolbear, of the two girls having
played the most conspicuous part in l this
affair, did not wait for her breakfast, but
made her escape from the house as soon
as day dawned; but Nelly, conscious of
her innocence, boldly met our hero, face
to face, at the breakfast table, where she
learned of the narrow escape she had made
of being shot as a robber. Our hero, came
to the conviction that :1 pistol was not a fit
instrumentto be used in the dark, in a coun-
try inn, with a resolution that he never
will again carry it, but trust himself to the
mercy of the robbers, (should he ever
chance to meet any, which by the by, in the
course of 701' 8 years’ travelling, he has
never yetdone) and the Providence ofGod.
A correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, ,
under date of Caxrozz, Jan. 1846, gives the fol-
lowing view of

that it should be kept from Nelly’s parents,
their conversation was wholly upon the
best method of concealing it from them,
etc.; the agent caught a part of it—and a
part too, excited as was his imagination at
‘the time, not a little startling. Susy said
lto Nelly, ‘It is much later than we should

quick or we shall be discovered, and all
will go wrong with us.’ The agent was
now convinced that they were robbers;
and in the dark as he was, saw nothing be-
fore bim but murder and robbery. He
grasped his pistol mechanically and firmly,
and cautiously cooking it, he was prepared
for his assailants; directly be felt a hand
on the bed clothes passing along in the
direction of his pillow, under which his
pantaloons and money were laid; he held
his breath, and put himself i-n a position
to reduce the liability of injuring himself

effect upon his assailants, supposing that
it was aimed ata vital part; the hand con-

The prominent position wlzich» the sub-
ject of slavery is occupying in the minds
o-f Christians at home, led me to enquire
into its existence in‘ this great provincial
c‘ity—Cauton. It seems that among the
one million of inhabitants, which it is said
this city contains, there are estiimated to
be about 100,000’ slaves, all of which are
females ;— that is to say the number of
male bqndmeir is not computed to be bey-
on~'d one hundred. The reason of this dis-
parity of numbers, is the following: the
