It is some time, since we; were called upon to record anything in the way of ." -aolling off" or "immensereductions" - in the clothing department. But we are now reminded that Messrs J.,Co«. grave and Co., are calling a sale °f ,d. r*Pory and clothing at their establishments in Owen and Albertstreets. The stocks in these- establish, ments embrace £20,000 worth of goods* Cheap drapery and winter clothing will now be the order of the day.-^AoVT. V ' The Foot-WABMEE.—The other night a man who lives in the surburbs was kept down town by business until a very lat« . nour, and his wife, knowing how cold he would be when* he got home, put an iron on the stove, and when she heard him open the gate she jumped up, and hurriedly wrapping the iron in a piece of flannel, put it in bed for him to warm h\§ feet by. The man was cold, and taciturn, and cross. He crawled into bed with a growl, and shuddered with cold as he. stretched himself out. Then he gave a y«U that nearly lifted the roof off the house, and jammed his bead through the headboard, and screamed, " Fire J" and waltzed out on the floor and around the room in the dark,, straddling rockingchairs, and his shins on bureau corners, and knocking down brackets with, his shoulders, »ng upsetting one or twqthingi, and filling the darkness with weird, fantastic profanity. It was found that the flannel had somewhat got of th« footwarmer. The man says that hereafter, if ho must^leep with a hardware store, he wants it put in cold—American paperrr.
