T this most festive season, f& when every one is engaged in trying to please, when stores are ransacked for their prettiest treasures and their cheapest stock, in order to make Christ- mas as joyous as in Olden Times, we are offering our quota to this end. Our Christmas Cards are of the most varied character, and indicate, by the way in which they go off, that the 25th will soon be here.
We take this epportunity to place other goods of a more use- ful and not less pleasing nature, before our friends. Our reduc- tions in Mantle Cloths, Dress Materials, Fur Goods, &., must be very opportune when “ every- body 1s presenting everybody else’ with something—a sacque, a dress, or a muff. We have on hand a large and very attractive stock which will, we have no doubt, meet the requirements and the approbation of the Christmas loving public.
The good cheer which Christ- mas is said to bring is not to be found in the dregs of the wassail bowl, or in a pint of
randy punch, but in the good warm clothing which a benevo- lent public are bestowing on the poor. It is in trying to please others we enjoy the greatest pleasure, and any one engaged in the work of “ giving te the poor” or to their own people, cannot do better than give a call at 85, where, in so large a stock, every one must find the very article they require, and that at a very low price.
Gemlemen will find it the best economy to come to us for Overcoats and Ulsters, of which we have a few left. In our at- tempt to place a good Overcoat at a small price, we have suc- ceeded--every article sold having given complete satisfaction. We have just got in new Linders and Drawers at prices to suit the times.
The Ladies will find at 83, a good assortment of Fancy Wool Work, at very moderate prices. Yarns, &c., very low. Also, a splendid lot of Chenille in var- ious Shades, which is much ad- mired an extensively worn.
Householders will find at 83 a Tea.to suit any taste. Our prices will show the varied kinds. We can give an excellent Tea for 3$2c.,,.56., 40¢, and 48c. per ib. ‘These pric2s are very
