Congress. But little of impor tance has been finnallj acted upon hy this body. After this week we expect to furtJsh our readeie with weekly su miliary of all important congressional action, and general news. Our intention is, to give Weekly, aJi important news items, from this and adjoining counties but for the pTesent our arrangements are not completed. We call upon our friends to send us in, all the news items they have, and to keep us posted ky. Aurora Lodo, No. 108. I. O G.

There is not a post office f any importance to which it is not fcent. If you want your advertise ment read by the business and pro tWi&imtnl men ot the two States, put it in the Centennial. Our mail book is open to the inspection of all who have any doubts. A Tobacco Warkjiouse in War kenton. In a conversation, recent ly with a gentleman living within aix miles of Warrenton, be inform ed u, that instead of prizing and shipping his tobacco hs heretofore, he intended hauling it to Hender son and selling it loose. The in quiry at oree suggested itself, w hy not have a Warehouse in Warren ton tor tl ic sale ot Tobacco? We have no doubt if some enterprieinw citizen would open a Warehouse here, that it would not only pay him well, but bring a good deal ot trade to the town. There is no rea fim why mujh tobacco may not be sold here as at llendeison. linse Warehouses are sometimes ; gotten up by joint stock Companies, who employ a competent man to attend to .them and conduct the 1 -a. sales. Why not have one? The Schools of Warrenton We learn that our Graded School, is in a highly prosperous condition, with an attendance ot about one hundred and seventy, which is being daily increased. The faculty in cluding the Superintendent, is corn posed ot six competent and popular .teachers. Indeed the faculty will compare favorably with that of any institution in the State. Beside the Graded School, we have the War reihon Female Institute, with the HeV. N. Grave?, and Mrs. Wil cox. aVthe head ot it. This Institution has been in operation many yeais, and has turned out some ot the most accomplished and thoroughly educated young ladies in the State. Then we have the male Academy of Capt. Dnggor, whose reputation a6 a 6nccesstul educator is State wide. With these schools, Warren ton affords educational facilities, unexcelled by any other town in the State. We desire to tiff! th nt- ention ot those who are 8e..kingr a i location to settle. whi(rli nffuiria l v-. lliv t K good ediieationul advantages, to !

We call attention to the following advertisements: U. G. Ford & Co., who are reli able and deserving of a liberable patronage. Norwood, Davis & Co., who offer to sell their splendid stock of Goods at cost, for forty days. Jkssb Draper, who has an excel lent stockj of Furniture, which he is selling right. King Bkos, who have a fine as sortment in thefr line. Maj. D. D. Williams, Warren ton Grocery, has everything good to eat. Ebwaed Shroyer, who is still carrying on the Tin and heet Iron Business, at his old stand, near Dr. King's office. Mrs. Bogardus' School for Young Ladies, which is very highly en dorsed. Henderson Items. We pity that young man in town who can't go to sleep unless he is DWg' g piliow. Winter, cold winter seems to have set in, in earnest.

It has not been determined among our tobaoo ti.rv.f.t..rur, aa whether or not thev will make anv exhibition of their mr.nf.t.,rna the Centennial this year. But it is hoped they will do so, that the world may see the qualitiesmmd varieties ot our manufacturers. Jndex--p- This week, we ran off fifty eix quires an d mailed them to regular yearly subscribers, and in less than three months, we expect to run off seventy-fi ve quires. The above we are willing to testify to before auy magistrate. We honestly believe there are but three papers in the State with a larger circulation than than we have. We mail our paper every week to about nine hundred merchants and other buincss men in this and other States. We chal- 1( enge all the papers in the State ixcepting three to comnare KrMk excepting three to compare books with us, in the presence of a Jnstice ot the Peace. MEADOWS WAREI10USE Stilt ahead.
