OniTUARY.— The announcement of the death of Dr. William 11. Watson, causes deep sorrow throughout the community, in which Ins life was pass ed. in near and distant States it will hring sadness to many, who appreciat ed his skill and urbanity, during his long professional ministration at the Bedford Springs. Upon the death of his father, Doctor Watson, at an early age, succeeded to the duties of a large and laborious practice, which he pursued assiduously and successfully—and there, in the legends of innumerable households, must the record of the unpretending deeds of the Physician's life be found. Kind and urbane in social intercourse, as a Physician he was eminently so; and in the sick-room his tenderness and sympathy won at once the confi dence and affection of the patient and his friends, in a profession whose members are proverbially jealous of each other, he succeeded, better than most men in preserving the amenities, and avoiding the asperities that often occur in contiguous practice. Into the sacred precincts of Home it is not for us to intrude—farther than to know that the kindly and genial qualities that characterize his outer intercourse, shone with brighter lustre in the famliy circle, where lie was loving and beloved. But, after a life well-spent, and leav ing no enmity in the breast of any living, the urbane gentleman, the kind Father, the good Physician rests from his labours, but still lives in the mem ories of those who remain to tread the same inevitable path C'. FALL OF THE CEILING OF A CHURCH.— On Saturday last, the ceil ing of the Stone Church (Lutheran) in Bedford tp., fell to the floor, carrying with it joists, girders and a large quan tity of bricks from a chimney. Luck ily there was no one in the building at the time. On Thursday previous the people of the neighborhood had gather ed in the Church, and on Sunday, when the Sabbath School was about to con vene, it was discovered that the floor was covered with rubbish and many of the pews broken to pieces.

We have a business experience of more than 25 years, have been longer established than any house in our trade in Philadelphia. We employ sufficient capital to make ALL PUR CHASES FOR CASH, which, together with the fact that our large business enables us to buy in large amounts iu first hands, thereby saving all profits of jobbers and middlemen, give us ad vantages in purchasing at the lowest rates, SHARED nv SO HOUSE IS 01 R TRADE. We sell only for cash and having no losses from bad debts to provide for, the paying customer is not TAXED To KELP PAY THE DEBT OF ANOTHER Who does not pay, as is inevitably the case in a busi ness where credit is given. We employ the best talent in all departments, which, witli long experience, enable us to man ufacture garments SUPERIOR IS EVERY RES PECT — equalled by few —surpassed by none. We have the largest establishment for the manu facture and sale of clothing in Philadelphia, extending through from 518 Market street to 511 Minor street, occupied exclusively by our selves, also a branch store at 600 Broadway, New York, and keep at all times of MEN'S, YOUTH'S and BOYS' READY-MADE CLOTHING, the largest stock and best assort racnt in the city, from which any person can he accurately fitted at once, as well, or better, than by garments made to order, our large stock comprising every site of all styles ot goods. We have recently added to our previous stock a full assortment of CHILDREN'S GARIBALDI AND OTHER SUITS, eaual to any in the city in style, trim ming, and make ; which are sold at lower pri ces than have hitherto been known in Phila delphia. They, with all our Boys' and Youth's goods, are kept on the first floor, nearest the front, convenient for ladies. We have also re cently opened on our SECOND FLOOR A CUSTOM DEPARTMENT for the display of a choice selection of Foreign and Domestic Fa brics in the piece, which will be MADE CP TO OR DER. in the best style, by competent and skill ful cutters and workmen. The advantage ot dealing with a CASH HOUSE will be especially apparent in this department, upon a compari son of prices. We guarantee our prices lower than the lowest elsewhere and also guarantee full satisfaction to every purchaser, and request, that should any eause of dissatisfaction exist with a purchase made, it may be reported to us, pledging our selves, by exchange, refunding of money. or oth erwise, to give full satisfaction in every case (Samples and prices sent by mail when desired.)
