CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS.
ON all hands arrangements are making to
celebrate the annivefsary of Christmas. To create novelty
for a festivity so ancient requires some degree of ingenuity, and to
Introduce fresh sources of comfort and enjoyment claims more than
ordinary talent. For a great number of years novelties in Dress
have been an important item in Christmas pretparations. What,
then, must be the amount of skill possessed by hose artists who se
introductions are new on each recurrence of this festivity ? It is those
only whose success has long been the admiration of all classes,o
can
and
whose seasonable productions have gained lasting celebrity, clew
provide articles of ATTIRE worthy of universal patronage. The
DRESS prepared for Christmas by E. MOSES and SON embraces
variety, surpassing all attempts at imitation, and exhibits novelties
which only the first Tailoring Establishments 3n the universe can
device. To maintain this distinction, E. MOSES and SON'S Christ-
mas Preparations present ATTIRE for ADULTS and JUVENILES
in the widest range of taste, the nucleus of their most celebrated
styles, DRESS for Ckristmas parties, the most splendid materials
and the neatest workmanship. OVERCOATS and WATERPROOF
CLOTIIINa in the most gentlemanly and comfortable styles.
HATS, CAPS, and HOSIERY, unequalled for qualily and beauty,
and all Goods charged considerably lower prices than at any

other house.
N.B.—Christmas eve being Friday, E. MOSES and SON'S Esta-
blishments will be dosed at half-past four o'clock.
TO EMIGRANTS.

All requisite Goods and Clothing called an OUTFIT, or the best
opportunity for selecting to the largest or smallest amount, is afforded
to all Emigrants, at the Outfitting Establishment of E. MOSES and
RON, where Outfits for Officers in the Army or Navy, for' Profes-
sional Gentlemen, Mechanics, or Gold Diggers, may be btained, not
only with greater convenience and dispatch, but better in quality,
and cheaper, than they can he had elsewhere. Ship sailing infor-
mation and full Lists of Outfits may be had on application, or ost
free. A separate department is appropriated to Outfitting.
cAuTsmq,—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman like
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment." or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
