The absence of full information as to what is transpiring between the two countries may indicate that the political breeze is blowing harmlessly past; or, it may be the awful silence which generally precedes a storm. In either case, we ought to be prepared for the worst. If a general war breaks out the price of nearly every article of commerce will rise. Among other commodities wool and labor will go up. Now is the time, therefore, to lay in a stock of clothing, before the general advance begins. In order that wo may not be caught napping we have just purchased a Splendid Assortment of Winter Tweeds and other materials necessary to a wellequipped tailoring establishment, which we are prepared to offer at unusually low prices for cash. Regarding style and fit, it is almost needless for us to repeat what everybody knows, viz , that by our scientific mode of cutting, and the care exerused by us in fitting the figure, a mis-fit i« an impossibility. — Craighead and Co. , Merchant Tailors, Tancred street.
