"Six,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic rills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and trey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, :ion are at perfect liberty is publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. ."

The question is *often debated, Where is the best market to Miy the necessaries of life.? among the more important • f which may be enumerated tee, coffee, and sugar. There exist different opinions, as is sure to ba the case, and ever will be, until people knew how to decide v hat • onstitutes cheapness. Tea is an article of such general consumption that its quality and price are very essential considerations. There exists great difficult• in judging i!s value by appearance, and families, to secure good qualities, are frequently induced to pay extravagant prices. Why should this be? The importations for' several years have been re markably large, comprising. unusually fine selections ; the markets have ruled low; and the public are fairly entitled to the advantages arising therefrom. Our invariable custom Is to accommodate our prices with the mar ket currency. We are enabled at present to sell exceedingly good Black Tea at 3s. 4d.; very superior at 3s.

OXFORD ART SOCIETY.—A meeting was held by permission of the curators, at the Taylor Building, yesterday evening at eight o'clock, the Vice-Chan cellor in the chair, when a lecture on the method of studying ancient art was given by Charles Newton, Esq., M.A., student of Christ Church and of the British Museum. The lecture, which was of a highly interesting character, gave rise to an animated discussion, in which the Vice-Chancellor, the Princi -pal of New inn Hall, the Rer.Vaughan Thomas, Mr. Collins, the eminent sculptor, and others joined, relat ing chiefly to some valuable remains of the age of Phidias, which Mr. Newton had detected among the marbles in the Pomfret collection, now deposited in the Randolph Galleries. No formal resolutions were come to, but several gentlemen, includin g th e Vi ce - Chancellor, expressed a wish that a society for the study of the fine arts, similar in its constitution to that which already exists in the University far the promotion of the study of mediaeval architecture might be organized. The names of a committee appointed some time ago were laid before the meeting. It is to be regretted that a larger number of the heads of societies were not present. Among the senior members of the University in the room we observed Dr. Acland, the Revs. Vaughan Thomas, Richard Greswell, William Hayward Cox, William Edward Buckley, Th om a s H ar di ng Newman, Thomas Chaffers, John Hungerford Pollen, &c., &c., and a tolerable sprinkling of bachelors and under graduates.

DAY OF THANIOGIVING.—The Queen's proclama tion appointing this day for a general thanksgiving to Almighty God, to acknowledge his great goodness and mercy in relieving us from the sore judgment of grievous sickness and mortality which has lately afflicted our land, was most religiously observed throughout the University and city. Business of all kinds was suspended, and the various parish churches and dissenting chapels, &c., were opened for divine service, and at many of them collections in aid of local charities were made. Service at some of the churches was performed four times during the day. UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. PROFESSOR SMITH'S LECTURE. , On Monday Professor Smith delivered one of a series of lectures on music, in the Dining hall of Trinity College, before a select and fashionable audience. Ile commenced by observing that the genius of Guido had made great improvements in the mechanical and harmonica! arrangements of music ; and it was no less interesting than instructive to con sider at what period modern languages were first applied to musical tones, and by what people. He did not mean to speak of the airs of melodies that came within the description of national music—such as the old airs of Ireland or Scotland, which might almost be considered as natural to the people of those lands as warbling to birds—his intention was to con sider the subject of music as a matter of science framed upon a complete scale and under such regu lations of art as successful cultivation rendered respectable and worthy of being imitated. Each nation had its peculiar songs—the Indian had his war, the Italian his love song.' The learned lecturer then alluded to the songs of Pr6vence, as sung by the Troubadours, and to the fact that although the Troubadours were not able to diversify notations or mark the time in music properly, it was supposed that they laid the germ of the future melodies of France and Italy. The Provencal was the langu age of poetry. The Princes of Provence often practised the divine art ; and Richard the First, during the latter end of his father's reign, passed his time prin cipally at the Court of Provence, learned the language of the country, and beguiled his leisure hours with the gay science" of poesy. The most ancient melody, set to Provengal words, was written by a Troubadour named Gaucelm. The subject was the death of Richard the First; and as it was supposed to be one of the first, if not the very first, melodies of Provence wedded to a modern translation, it might prove interesting to the audience. The lecturer then played the air, which attracted much attention and admiration, and proceeded to treat of Irish melodies. He passed a high eulogium upon Sir John Ste venson, Moore, and Edward Bunting; and next alluded to the fact that most of the Troubadours 'were practical musicians, an d enumerated several ~ rench melodies to show that the French people had been highly instrumental in the cultivation of music and poetry. The French were still a people as es sentially musical and poetical as ever, although of latter days they were not as successful in producing as many brilliant composers as Italy; and while in the olden time they ss ere very successful in the practice of vocal music; they were by no means behind hand in instrumental music or the invention of musical in struments, for which all periods, even to the present time, they had been celebrated, as in the thirteenth century—their list comprised no less than thirty dif ferent instruments. A piece supposed to have been per formed upon some of their instruments, and written about that time, had been preserved ; and, in conclu sion, he would introduce it to his audience, as afford ing some idea of the style and character of French instrumental music in those days. The lecture was listened to throughout with marked attention, and was made principally attractive by the Provencal and French melodies by which it was happily illustrated.— Saunders's News Letter. CAPE or GOOD HOPE.—Letters from s ,the Cape of Good Hope have been received, via St. Helena, to the 4th of September. According to these it appears that the Neptune, with the first batch of convicts on board, haul not then arrived out. THE MEXICAN MAlL.—Telegraphic advises by way of New York convey information that the Mexi can steamer, due at Southampton on the 22d instant, has through incessantly heavy gales been delayed a week in the Gulf of Mexico. As the vessel must, consequently, be several days behind her estimated time in reaching England, it will be satisfactory to parties interested to learn the cause of her detention. The day of her arrival will, probably, be about the 28th instant. ACTS OF PARLIAMENT.—There were 111 public Acts passed in the late session, a'l of which, with the exception of one, are in opt ration. The exception re lates to the repeal of the navigation laws, which will come into force on the Ist of January next. It is said that the discovery has been made in Lin coln that gutta percha can be used for large printing letters, and that impressions can be obtained nearly as clear as the impressions from metal types. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—THE SECRET OF ITEALTII..--.- It is as necessary to preserve the balance between the organs and their work as it is to proportion any other means or agents to the ends for which they exist. Put a greater strain upon a rope than it is cal culated to bear, or a heavier weight upon a vchiclo, and the rope will snap and the vehicle break down. "'Tie the last pound that breaks the camel's back." The pro cess by which the animal powers sink under the over pressure of their energies is gradual, and, to a ereat ex tent, imperceptible, in cases of robust constitutions, where endurance lasts with seemingly unimpaired vigour till nature suddenly gives wey. Be careful, therefore, of the slight indisposition by which this secret process betrays itself. A medicine like Cockle's Antibilious Pilla will be found invaluable for this service. EA DVERTISEAT ENT.]—Dreadful Wounds in a Leg soundly cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Mr. Henry Gray, typographer, residing at No. 6, Temple-lane, City, states that he suffered the most excruciating pains in his leg for a considerable time, occasioned by an accident which he unfor tunately met with ; two deep wounds formed in his leg in con sequence of it, and although he tried various lotions and oint ments, yet all were found entirely useless. He was then re commended by a friend to use some of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which he did, and in six hours he was greatly re lieved, and in about eight days the wounds were soundly healed.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. THE QUEEN'S LETTER ON BEHALF of the NATIONAL SOCIETY for PROMOT ING the EDUCATION of the POOR. Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to issue the following royal letter, on learning that the funds of the above society (including the special fund for the mining and manufacturing districts) are now, and have been for some months, entirely exhausted:— " VICTORIA R.—Most Reverend Father in God, our right trusty and right entirely beloved councillor, we greet you well. Whereas the president and go vernors of the Incorporated National Society for the Education of the Poor in the principles of the Esta blished Church in England and ‘Vales, have, by their petition, humbly represented unto us that the presi dent and governors of the society have now, during a period of thirty-eight years, zealously and persever ingly laboured to carry into efThct the great work for which the society was incorporated, and that they have now expended the whole of the funds which either through the munificence of the sovereign, or the liberality of the public, have been placed at their disposal for the purpose of extending and improving education among the poorer classes; that the produce of the collections made under the authority of the royal letters, which for some time past have been triennially granted on their petition, has been mainly expended in building school- rooms and teachers' residences, permanently secured for the education of the children of the poor, and in the organization and improvement of those already erected ; that the general principles upon which the society has conducted its operations have received the sanction of the Legislature, as well as the approbation of oar subjects at large; that the plan which the society has pursued since tits foundation in 1811, of encouraging local voluntary efforts, by granting moderate sums of money to aid in the erec tion of schools and teachers' houses, has been adopted by our Government in distributing the grant voted away by Parliament, in furtherance of national edu cation ; and that, with respect to the approval and I co opertion of the people in general,-ib Willi -easeieat to observe that the number of children attending schools in immediate connexion and correspondence with the society amounted, in the year 1813, to 40,484, in - 1833 to 400,830, in the year 1837 to 597,911, and in the year 1847, when the last return was made, to 816,874, and has since proportionately increased; while the whole number of children in attendance at church schools is estimated at above a million and a half; that the training institutions maintained by the society have during the last five years sent out 1,042 trained teachers (553 masters and 489 mistresses) into schools in various parts of the country ; that during the last five years the society have expended, in aid of building, enlarging, or otherwise improving school rooms and teachers' residences, 139,197/. 1 ls., in 1,940 cases of application, thereby affording accommodation for 265,542 children, at a total outlay of 767,980/. ; that the great progress which has been made in extending education amongst the poor renders more desirable than ever the adoption of effective measures for its improvement ; and that for this purpose the society will continue to maintain its central schools for boys, girls, and infants, and will afford support to its vari ous establishments for instructing and training young persons of either sex, as well as adults, to be teachers, and will give aid towards the expense of inspecting, organizing, and remodelling schools, so that the most improved methods of teaching may be speedily and effectually spread throughout the country ; that the great progress which has been made in extending education among the poor renders more desirable than ever the adoption of effective measures for its improvement, and that for this purpose the society will continue to maintain its central schools for boys, girls, and infants, and will afford support to its various establi s hment s f o r i ns t ruc ti ng an d training young persons of either sex, as well as adults, to be teachers, and will give aid towards :the expense of inspecting, organizing, and remodelling schools, so that the most approved methods of teaching may be speedily wed effectually spread throughout the country; that, as well from the rapid increase of the population of this kingdom, as from the numerous applications continually made to the society both for aid towards erecting schoolrooms and for the services of duly qualified teachers, it is evident that liberal contributions to the society will be required, in order to meet the demands for assistance constantly made upon its resources, the increase of which demand is one of the many proofs of the general feeling which exists throughout the country, strengthened by the late events in other nations, that it is only by pro viding a sound religious education for the growing masses of the population that the social and religious institutions of these kingdoms can he preserved : " We, taking the premises into our Royal conside ration, and being always ready to give the best en couragement and countenance to undertakings which tend so much to the promotion of piety and our holy religion, direct that these our letters be di rec t e d to the several suffra g a n bishops within your diocese, &c., so that the minister in each parish do effectually excite their parishioners to a liberal contribution, &c the results to be paid over to the treasurer for th time being of the said society, &c.

S. Rutter, of Manchester, coun ty coroner f or the hundred of Salford, on the body of a young man named Thomas Weaver, who had been killed on the railway between Bolton and Manchester, on Monday afternoon. The following are the circumstances of this shocking fatality :—The Bolton Railway, as it is generally called, was constructed about ten or twelve years since, and though the works are generally of a substantial character, there is one feature about the bridges which carry the various turnpike a n d o th er roads over it which - has often raised apprehensions in the minds of thoughtful persons for the safety of pas sengers. These bridges consist of straight horizontal beams of iron across the line, supported upon cast iren pillars. Rows of these pillars, at each bridge, were fixed between the various lines (hails, and were so near to the carriages as they passed that any person leaning thoughtlessly out of a carriage window was liable to have his skull fractured by coming in contact with them. Strange as it may appear, however, with this danger in the way, on one of the railways having the greatest amount of passenger traffic of any in the kingdom, for five or six years there were fewer acci dents on this line than on any other. A few years ago the line came into the possession of the Lanca shire and Yorkshire Company, who have sought to remedy this objection to their line, and commencing at the Bolton end they have removed bridge after bridge to substitute others of a better construction, till the work of reconstruction had reached Pendleton, near to Manchester, where this accident took place. Thomas Thornley, a companion of the deceased, and witness at the inquest, described how the accident took place. He said, Weaver lived at 72, Chapel street, London-road, Manchester, and on Sunday be and deceased went by the railway to Bolton. They took tickets at the Pendleton station, and deceased had a gun with him of a novel construction, which he showed to the railway porter at the station before they started. They returned to Manchester by the train which left Bolton at three o'clock on Monday afternoon, in a third-class close carriage ; and as the train did not stop at Pendleton, deceased (who was anxious t o l e t th e ra il way porter know they were returning) said to witness, " Jern, pop (point) the gun at the porter." Deceased got his gun out of the window, and then put his head and shoulders out also, to do what he had stated. In a few minutes they passed the station-house, and iu another moment—for the bridge at Pendleton is not many yards from the station—the unfortunate man's head came in contact with one of the pillars support ing the bridge. 'Witness said Weaver's head re bounded from the pillar against the opposite side of the carriage window, and he then sank back upon his seat in the corner of the railway carriage. In a few minutes the train arrived at the Salford station, which is the Manchester terminus of the railway, and witness perceiving that his companion was insensible, and that his head was dreadfully fractured, and his brains scat tered about the carriage, called for the assistance of the railway servants, and Weaver was carried to the Salford Dispensary. The surgeon of the Dispensery said, though Weaver was insensible when brought to the house, about four o'clock, he continued t o breathe till about half past ten o'clock the same night, when he died. The porter at the Pendleton station was examined, and said he saw the heads of two men out of one of the carriages as they approached the station, but the motion of the train W:AS too rapid for him to recognize them. He waved his hand and ges ticulated with a view to warning these parties to draw their heads into the carriage. He looked after them as the train passed under the bridge, and no longer perceiving them, supposed all was right. He did not hear of the accident till afterwards. The jury found a verdict (after hearing a statement from the company's servants similar to that above given of the gradual removal of the pillars) to the effect that the fatality was accidental, but expressed an opinion that there had been unnecessary delay in completing the work.— Worcestershire Chronicle.

I T /~ [PRICE„S DISASTROtS SHIPWRECK. The ship lI,Wn Thompson, of Ayr, arrived Troon on Nov. 12 from St. John's, reports that or the sth of Novel-AL -2r, lat. 54 N.. long. 20 28 W. came up with the brig South Stockton, of Newcastl , 1 late %Vickers, waterlogged. The circumstances e as follows :—The brig left Quebec on the Bth of September, for Newcastle. Ou October:-14 the brig was running in a heavy gale of - wind from the westward; at eight Pau. the master judged it Dices , nary to heave the ship too, which he did under close ! reefed maintopsail ; at midnight they tried the pumps, and found her to make the usual quantity of water; at four a.m. they again tried the pump, but could not get her to suck ; all hands were immediately called, but still she gained upon them. They then sounded her, and found eight feet water in her hold. In this dilemma they considered it vain to pump longer, but rather begin to prepare for the worst. They put a considerable quantity of provi sions; water, and other articles in a large house, which the vessel had on deck, which, Just having succeeded in doing, the vessel suddenly careened over on her beam ends, and washed the master and a boy overboard. She then hove the deck cargo oti, ' carrying away the topmasts and rudder, and sweeping the clicks of everything, house and all, and after wards sh:, gradually began to right. The men now took to the tops, and made a cover of canvas around them, to f save them as much as possible from the severity of the weather. In this state they remained eleven days without any assistance, excepting a very small quan tity of water, when one of them died ; they were under the necessity of eating a small portion of their com panion. They continued drooping one by one till they were all dead but Robert Hogg, chief mate, and Henry Leslie, second mate, who sustained themselves by eating a small portion of their companions, and drinking their blood. They were in this deplorable situation 25 days, when, on the sth of November, the Helen Thompson, in company with the barque Ganges, came up with her, it then blowing fresh gales N.N.W., with ' a heavy sea running. The Helen Thompson succeeded in putting out a boat, and bring ing the suffers on board in a very exhausted state. The chief mate recovered very fast, but the second mate still remains in a very poor state of health, having very sore hands and feet. THE NAVY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE, SUN. Sia,—The nobl e p ro f ess i on o f w hi c h I am a humble member cannot but feel grateful for the late remarks in your valuable journal on the subject of the Royal Navy, naf)re particularly the treatment of its junior members, the commanders and lieutenants, who after attaining the age of 40 (if not possessed of para mount interest) are laid on the shelf as ineligible, and all the applications for employment, from long and arduous service, quite unheeded. The principle, I understand, the Board of Admi ralty go upon is to instil young blood into the service, which may be plausible enough, but surely it is very hard upon those who have served, and are willing again to serve, t o b e th rown as id e, and kept upon the half pay of their respective ranks only, without any prospect of obtaining that rank (captain) they were ambitious of on first entering the Royal Navy. There are only 14 out•pensioners of Greenwich Hospital for commanders, lieutenants 51, which I think an additional grii \ranee to us unfortunates— (there are many others, of which, no doubt, you must be a Nare); whilst the seniors have, in addition to the late grant of retirement, and gradually increasing half pay, from 10s. 6d. to 14s. Gd., ten naval aides- de camp and 21 good service pensions, independent of other good things at their Lordships' disposal to captains only. The admirals are old veterans, of which we juniors do not so much complain. In having made the above statement, and hoping your advocacy and that of other public journals, I trust you will have no objection to comment upon it in your valuable piper, as the complaint and grievance of an old commander of nearly 20 years standing, 45 years in the Royal Navy, nearly 25 of which on sea service, but not since his promotion to his presentrank. I remain, Sir, your humble servant, AN OLD COMMANDER. Novenikr 15 , 1849. EMBARKATION OF SIR HENRY AND LADY LYTTON BULIVER FOR TIIE UNITED STATES.—PORTS-. 3IOUTII, THURSDAY EVENING.-11 is Excellency Sir Henry Ly tton Bulwer, accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Fenton, and two gentlemen attades, arrived from London on Wednesday evening, at the Portland Reid, Seurhses. In consequence of the boisterous state of the weather the party could not embark till to day, when the Commander-in-Chief pltced the Myrtle steamer at his Excellency's disposal, to convey the party to the Hecate at Shithead. At a quarter past one, the Myrtle having come alongside the Victoria pier, the party etn harked, having been met at the pier by Admiral the lion. Sir Bladeu Capel, his flag. lieutenant, Mr. Corkran, and sev,ral other naval officers. Sir Henry and Lady Bulwer and suite were received on board the Hecate by Commander Shad well, with manned yards. The weather is still wild looking and squally; the wind a strong gale, but inclined to draw to the northward; it is now about N.W? It is therefore not likely that the Hecate will start from Spithead to-night unless the wind should moderate. A SHIP DESTROYED BY FIRE OFF THE ISLE OF WronT.—About ten o'clock on Tuesday morning a large ye sal was seen en tire off the Isle of Wight, abreast of Sharklin Bay. She was making for that place of shelter with all speed, and eventually the crew ran the vessel upon the sands at Shanklin, where they immediately abandoned her, as the whole of her cargo, consisting of *wards of eighty barrels of turpentine, was on fire. The vessel, which was soon burnt to the water's edge, was bound to Bremen, from Wilmington, North Canada, and was culled the Gazelle. Iler loss is reported at 2,500/, DE•THS OF Two CHILDREN AND A DOG FROM EXPOSURE TO THE WEATHER.—Doting the last ten days great numbers of the poor of the neighbouring townships had frequented the strand to collect nuts, &c,, thrown up by the tide from the wreck of the Mischief ; amongst others two little girls were observed, followed by a deg, and it is imagined that being disappointed in their expectations, and exhausted by hunger and cold, they had secured themselves under a hedge on Formby Rabbit':Warren, where they were found by the coast• guard On going Lis rounds on Wednesday morning, both of them crouched together, and the dog, which appears to have been a faithful attendant, stretched across the breast of the eldest child, all stiff in death.—Liverpool Mail. THE KING'S ROAD, EATON -SQUARE.—It is with considerable reluctance that we again find it necessary to refer to the highly disgraceful condition of this fashionable locality, f'or we had hopes and believed that the remarks which had been before made on the subject would have had the salutary effect of inciting the par ties who are responsible to the public for the proper con dition of the highways, either parochially or by virtue of their title to the ownership of the property, to a sense of their duties in this regard. The fine weather, however, hus now been succeeded by dark nights of great length and a hazy atmosphere, and the former in- • convenient condition of the place for want of light has been. rendered still more inconvenient, and in fact unsafe, either for vehicles or pedestrians passing the place after nightfall. When it is stated that we a night or two since observed a nui.ance of a most offensive character being committed on the public path, in the absence of light to protect the place from common outrages on de ceney, we think we shall have sufficiently illustrated the unprotected condition of one of the most wealthy and fashionable quarters of the metropolis. If, as is pretty generally understood, the parish authorities neglect to light this important road because the owner of the pro perty declines to perform certain other requirements on their part, we unhesitatin g ly assert that it is their bounden duty to put an end at once to the present great incon venience, and, having done so, to take such measures as they may deem requisite for the remaining public re quirements to be fulfilled. It is hoped that the several parties will see the necessity of performing the duties which respectively devolve upon them without further delay. THE FOREIGN MAlLS.—Yesterday being the day appointed for the General Thanksgiving for the cessa tion of the ravages of the cholera throu:hout the coun try, was observed as a strict holyday at all the Govern ment offices, and no business of a public nature was transactede in any of the departments of the revenue. Arrangements were made, however, for the clearance of the steam-vessels, which were appointed to sail again this morning with the Continental mails, in order to prevent any public inco nven i ence w hi c h would otherwise be experienc“l. THE NORTH MAIL ARRANGEMENTS.—The recent alterations in the north mail, have, we may say, excited universal ;dissatisfaction. The newspapers in the north have all taken up the subject, and complain warmly of the new postal arrangements. We, in our last publica tion, quoted the complaint of a Fife contemporary, that copies of its journal took 48 hours to travel from Cupar to Kennoway, a distance of ten miles. Is this locomo tion, or are the papers atisentonanortherputronuarisbinefaokree delivery ? Perth, Dtlee, and Aberdeen similar complaints, avid the public bodies in these places are taking up the matter with spirit. For ourselves. we now receive the piper published on Tuesday morn enatthree P.M. en Wedn eses y ; w hil e v ir: . g ry i ner o f th nb d i private express, we have received the Aberdeen prp er on W e d nesday at the same hour. The Post ffice is therefore 24 hours later than it ought to be. Our Dundee and Perth papers are also delayed four or five hours by the new arrangement, and in no sense v, hatever has the alteratien been an iMprOVtineat. \V may state, that at a meeting of newspaper proprie t.a-s, hekl cn Monday evening in the Reyal Exchange C - AcchousP, a memorial was framed and ordered to be transmitted to the Postmaster-General. prototing against the present unsatisfactory arrangeno - nte, and respectfully craving redress.—Caledonian Mercury. The man Bank;, who has been several times re manded on suspicien ef having a guilty knowledge of the murder of the late Mr. Griffith, underwent another private catmint:Lion yesterday afternoon, before the ma gistrates, and was again remanded till tO-morrow. As the examiva;ions throughout have been carried en to the exclusion of reporters, we are not in possession of the facts, but we may state that Banks has attempted -more than once to prove an alibi, but has most signally failed, and there is no doubt that he was in Brighton on the night of the murder. Other parties are suspected, and the police tore on the alert to apprehend them.—.itriy:hten G ( 4 4"*./ T I 25s t ter s to ling uge 003 eas, 12s; I :- :3s ; 285; 478, .ley, (ling , old 375, 265; per 1 00s day this and ly of 50; 's 6d 4lbs. ught than ;rage for reek. pn— yard, ,and y of Price [sold. 3 PP I Y than ld at 3 sold ranco er lb; preign oats,
