The Atlantic air iadU CSk. A novel and imerestlng litigntiow has been going on lately In the county of Atlantic. involving the owacvabip of a large prtion of tbr sea fhwt in Atlantic City.

I The purchasers from the Land Company I occupied the new land as fast as it formed i and it is to this made tract that Uic Comwhich is yet iu existence, now lays claim, and to recover which haa brought < suit. Tbe cauac began Tuesday, Decern- I ber 12lh, and Mated ail the week.

Tbe leaning of I be charge was , strongly for the plaintiffs. Bat instead of i taking a general sordid, the Judge dime- j ted the jury, in view of the novel matters ] involved, to make special findings. Tbc , questions propounded were, substantially : | Did there cxMt a line of aaad hills called j tbe ttonn tide mart, to which tbe dred ; referred I Did this mark lie landward or | ordinary high water mark ?

Thanksgiving _t° Christmas. T wenty business days intervene between these two holidays, and we propose to make them, if possible, the greatest days of all the year for Oak Hall sales. We are thoroughly prepared with Overcoats and Suits for Men of all sizes and * boys of all ages. All that remains is for the people that trade in Philadelphia to believe what we say and come for , our goods. Prices are Extremely Low. Our goods have been well bought, and most of them cannot be replaced at cost prices. Costs, however, have. nothing to do with our selling prices. Prices are made in Oak Hall solely with reference to the cost of reproducing the ! goods. If we make, it is well, if we lose it is bad: but j make or lose, the buyer has the least possible price. ' The stock contains, made and making, over 10,000 Over- j j coats j over 200 lines of men's and young men's suits; over I I 1 60 lines of suits for large and small boys. The value of | this stock was, thirty days since, over One Million Dollars. It is less now. but still very big, and big enough foF-all who I will come. Fresh goods put in stock daily. A special bargain now on our counters is our 1 #12.00 Fancy-back Cassimerc Overcoat, which, however, is only one among a great host of interesting things.
