Marceron, Capitol llill, who (we are informed) is prepared to give instructions in such fancy and ornamen tal work on vary reasonable terms It ia but jjstice to unobtrusive merit. to call attention to tho?e wjrks, and as the bonnet in paitic jlar is likely to escape ordinary inspection we re commend it to lady vi itors a? worthy their notice, and its retiring fabricator us deserving their patronage. hcP.BXRY?On Saturday evening last a ttranger was met coming oat if the boarding bocse of Mis E T l'avall, on Pennsylvania avenue, and being asked what ho wanted re turned an ovaaive reply.
