Exhibition of Holiday Goods. We had the pleasure yesterday of inspecting the new and elegant stock of jewelry displayed by Mrs. L. W. A Bare ‘Thatcher of the DrAmonp PaLace on 4 Broad street. Such beautiful things have never before been seen in this city and the low price of solid gold jewelry has induced‘many to purchase who ‘had not ‘intended to buy. Articles of personal ornament, and watch chains, bracelets, rings, ete., are there in endless profusion. It is an. abiding principle of this house to represent the goods sold exactly as they are—to make no false representationsin regard to apything; and more than this, Mra.
