On the 6th inst. four of these unfortunate fortune-tellers were ar- raigned. The first called was Bridget Blaney. Her method was to get into a trance. She was fined $5 or one month in jail. Mrs, Chatelet, of No. 6, Campeau street, divined futurity by means of a horoscope and a pack of fancy cards. She was mulcted in $2 or one month.

MARK RUTCHER'S BSTAB- LISHMENT——A BUSINESS OF FIFTY YEARS STANDING—-TRADE UP rAITu IN THE NATIONAL LOOAING PeLicy. Tne furniture factory of Mark Butcher ia situated on King Square, corner of Hillsborough and Kent Streets. It is the oldest and one of the best establishments of its kind in the Province, and was estab lished by the present proprietor in 1830- FIFTY YEARS We learn that in commencing business Mr. Butcher employed but few men and ran his machinery by horse-power. * Workmanship the very best, and orders executed with neatness and despatch” was his motto, and by it he aehieved much success. In 1862 the demand for his manu facture of furniture increased, and to fill orders he was obliged to fit up his estab- lishment with steam saws, planers, lathes, ete. In 1869 he purchased his present business stand from Mr. George Douglass, and continued to do a lucrative business in it up to the present. THE PREMISES oceupied by Mr. Butcher in the manufac- ture and sale of furniture, consist of a building three steries high, forty feet broad by eighty feet long, adjoining which is a wing three stories high, eighteen feet wide and® forty feet long. Entering the main building from Kent street is a spacious and well-lighted show-room, eontaining speci- mens of furniture manufactured, and all work done in theestablishment. In the rear of this is the planing-reom, eontain- ing a fourteen horse power engine, boiler, planers, etc., which work all the machinery in the building, which was, at the time ef our visit, IN FULL BLAST. Above the planing roem, on the second flat, is the lathe room. It is theroughly fitted up with lathes, emery-wheols, plug- machines, jig and eircular saws, etc. In it alse is a room heated by steam, for drying the lumber used in the manufacture of furniture. In the south side of this is the ‘‘swell show-room,” forty feet loug by AGO, thirty-seven feet broad, containing specimens of the more cosély fur- niture. Here may be seen bedroum, sitting room and parlor suits, which fer design and werkmanship cannot be surpass- ed in the provinces. We are informed that some of the sets on sale, are valued at from three to four hundred dollars, and caleul- ated to be quite cheap at these figsres. PRICR AND QUALITY. The sets manufactured here are chiefly in mahogany, walnut, ash, birch and pine and common!y sell at the following | prices :— Bedroom, from...........-. $15.00 to $400 00 Nt «ccaiiers noenenveeerss 40.00 to 300.00 Dining Room,.........000++s 12.60 to 190.00 $y this scale of prices it will be seen poel despatch says :—Ferged telegrams, | to take actien against American pork | >} mons of England on Tuesday, while an | Many men have gradu- | | sitions, in both this country and the} | United States, among them Mr. James, | ‘carried a possible marshal’s baten in | ° ' . ‘ mm) . . extent.

The third flat of the building is eccu- | pied as a wood shop and uphoelstering | apartment. The former is filled with a |number ef eircular and jig sawa, pony | planers, steam glue heating apparatus, | kiln-dry-box, and numerous other appara 'tus for the sueoessful working of wood. |The latter apartment is alao well fitted, | and is ably superintended by Mr. Charles | Drew, who has been in Mr. Butcher's |} employ for the past thirty-five years. The fourth flat is cecupied as a general store | room and Paint Shop. UNDBRTAKING. | In the wing at the west of the main baild- ing is an undertaking department. It is | stocked with handsome and weil made caskets and coffins of all sizes. In it | | funeral outfits can be ebtained at priees to | auit all classes, from $3 upwards. THE TRADE. in the establishment is done |}ander the careful supervision of Mr. | Butcher and his son. None but the best | material ia used; and that the furniture gives satisfaction 1s proved by the ready sale it commands in the markets of New- foundland and New Brunawick, as well as jat the branch stores in Georgetown and | Cardigan. We may here state that since the National Policy came in force, Mr. Butcher observes a great revival in trade, and | through it looks for much prosperity in | future. | A visit to this first-class establishment All work | would repay amply for its trouble. Buteher or his son—Mr. Richard Butcher —are always on hand ready to conduct secrets of furniture mneking. ? <=_-- aan | Temperance at Winsloe Road. | A public meeting, having in view the | formatien of a new Division of the Order | of the Sons of Temperanee, was held in the | | Winsloe Road (Seuth) Sekool House, on | Thursday evening, 10th inst.
