Barbour, held such act ‘a high contempt of court,’ which, recurring, he should ‘severely punish.’ But what.is a contempt of court ? swer is easily found. ‘here are several cases of contempt instanced, but not one of them refers even remotely to newspaper pablications. To constitute a contempt there must be a disturbanee in the presence of the court, or a disobedience of its legal mandate. 100 00 . Neither of these can apply to a publication .

EDLARS generally pack about old shop worn trash, which being faraished by their brothers, they get cheap, and without paying rent. They will, to make you think they sexi cheap, frequently sell you an article for less than cost, but when you want an article you know net the valuefof, will shave you most unmercifully. Thies is their nature, “all the world over.” Now WS GUARANTRE, to sell you geod, clean, fashionable goods, and to sell you them cheaper than any Jew, pedlar or storekeeper; we have new goods, received weekly, and itis our policy to sell quick—our prices are uniform—we do no ask one with the intention of taking another.
