Read Both Sides.- -We believe that a fair comparison of our telegraph it' news —which is furnished by the Lnitetl States and European News Association with that furnished to the old papers of the city by the Associated Press, which is in the interest of the New York papers, will convince any reader ot the superior character of the news contain ed in our paper. But We are not disposed to be selfish, and we therefore suggest that by taking the Daily Press, aud one of the old papers, the reader will get the news furnished by both Associa tions; while, in taking both old papers, they get precisely the same telegraphic news in each, at a cost of $5 more than would secure the Daily Press and one old paper. Therefore we repeat the suggestion—it you wish the best news, furnished by one paper alone—take the Daily Press at sj, il you wish all the news, by both Association-, take one old paper at $lO and the Daily Press at $5.

A SCUSCUIBBR. Impoutant New Invkntios.—We can conscientiously recommend to those suffering from weak or defective sight, Professor Bernhardt’s single and double vision Australian Crystal Spectacles.

It is thought that the store was burglariously cohered from the rear and the goods carried off; but it seems singular that so much could have been Carrie 1 off with out attracting notice. Altogether, it Is. a mysterous affair, and it is to be hoped, will be satisfactorily solved. Christmas Birds. —Turkeys are plen tiful in the market now. The prices demanded is great. Gobblers sll.
