An absurd rumor recently gained some credence in Paris to the effect that an attempt was about to be made to restore the Empire. The story seems to have had its origin in Marseilles, where the officials were thrown into a state of excitement by the report that the youthful Prince Imperial was lurking in disguise in the Republican city. It is needless to say that the efforts made to catch the intriguer were unavailing. hirangers paying a visit to Wellington, am! country settlers arriving in town, are very often at ft loss to : know which is the best house or chcapestfgeneral 1 drapery establishment to visit for buying drapery and clothing. J. McDowell and Co. offer special advantages that can be met with nowhere else in the city. They keep at all times the largest and best assorted stock of every class of goods, imported direct from the leading manufacturers of Great Britain and Ireland, which, being bought on the most advantageous terms, enables them to offer goods of sterling qualities at prices that cannot be improved on by any house in the trade. Every article is marked at a fixed price that cannot be deviated from, for ready money, from which there is no deviation ; so that inexperienced people are as well served as the best judges; the terms being net cash, without rebate or abatement of any kind. A full description of stock can be obtained from our catalogues and advertisement.
