IMPROVENEIVT IN GENTLEMEN'S HATS.

TITRE:BARE-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEI4,—I have given your Patent Easy-fitting Hat a
fair trial, and I must say it is the most comfortable hat I ever
wore, particularly when crossing the water in a windy day,
when with the aid style of hat I invariably had a headache,
which with your new style is not the case. I can, therefore,
safely recommend it to anyone, particularly to those subject
to headache.—l am, gentlemen, yours truly.

I have,wom for some time one of the Patented Easy-fitting
Hats sold by Mr. -, and I can testify to the advantage
derived from the absence of that unpleasant pressure, particu-
larly on the forehead, usually felt from the hats generally worn.
-- House, Cheltenham. (Signed) --.
This letter is from a first-rate English admiral. The name

THE BUTTERMAN'S
CHRISTMAS CAROL !

Ant—“WIDOW MACIIREE."

lALELLY, my jewel, just listen to me—
Och, hone ! Kelly, machree
While I tell you 'what mighty qua things I did see,
Och, hone! Kelly, machree
As I could not expect
You your shop to neglect,
I went out to inspect,
(My own time being free;)
And what sights met my view
I'll describe now to you,
Och, hone! Kelly, machree

From home then I started on last Saturday,
Och, hone ! Kelly, machree
And first to the markets I wended my way,
Och, hone! Kelly, machree
I ne'er saw such a lot
Of quare things in one spot;
Half their names I've forgot,
For they quite bothered me ;
So all I can do,
Is to speak of a few,
Och, hone! Kelly, machree 1

To describe such a sight, faith I have not got words,
Oak, hone! Kelly, machree
There was dead beef and mutton, and all kinds of birds,
Och, hone ! Kelly, machree
Och ! 'twas odd to see those
Things all hung up in rows,
Like so many scarecrows
On a branch of a tree;
There was every fowl,
From the lark to the owl,
Och, hone! Kelly, machree

They'd pigeon, and widgeon, and paycocks, and snipe,
Och, hone ! Kelly, machree
And on some of the stalls I saw litigant tripe,
Och, lone 1 Kelly, machree I
They'd raisins and figs,
And eels they call slugs,
And nate sucking pigs
As I ever did see,
And lobsters, and crabs,
Periwinkles, and dabs,
Och, hone ! Kelly, machree

The animals looked very purty when dead,
Och, hone Kelly, machree
Cards were on them to tell where they'd been " bred and fed,''
Och, hone Kelly, machrec
There were apples and pears,
There were rabbits and hares,
And other small wares,
Such as oysthers and tea,
Wax candles and coffee,
And Evertoa toffee, _

Och, hone! Kelly, machree

After that, I went off to the great BUTTER PLACE,
Och, hone ! Kelly machree
To nave left that unseen would have been a disgrace,
Och, hone Kelly machree.
Och ! the bust you'd got there,
In my whole life I ne'er,
In a fancy Beazer,
Such a threasure did see,
'Tie yourself's wide awake,
Let me now mg leave take.
Och, hone ! Kelly machree !
