CONTEMPTIBLE DODGE.—The Bradford Argus printed at Towanda, Pa., this week contained the following advertisement : TKRRIBLE EXCITKMKXT.— The world trembles over the great misfortune that has befallen our President, James A*. barfield, and at the news which prevails now in Towanda, Pa., about the Great llostoti Clothing House which has ,iust opened in Means' block, Main street, Towanda, Pa. Language is too fee Die to express the con tempt this lirni should be held in. Working on the .sympathies of the people, bowed down in grief at the death of a beloved President, to draw attention to its business, the Great Boston Clothing House of Towanda has belit tled itself, and if the citizens of that vicini ty are patriotic in the least degree, they wili in future patronize some other establishment. —EI m int Adce rl iser. The censure of tlie AdcerCiser is none too strong and is heartily endorsed by this com munity. The indecency displayed in the ad vertisement, was discussed and condemned by all who read it. So incensed were the busi ness men here that they culled upon the pa pers inserting it and requested that it be dis continod. The man who is mean enough to attempt to draw attention to his business by coupling his advertisement with a noticeof so great a calamity as the death of our President, should be given a wide berth by decent people, and lie probably will be. To the credit of thiseommunity we are glad to inform ourKl mira eotemporary that the firm who have made themselves so notorious are only inter lopers here, and that none of ourold estab lished houses would have been guiltyof such an outrage.
