crusty business "sliding scales" popular everywhere, the sur-
face of the lakes peopled with industrious thousands, and the fishes
snoozing under a coverlet of ice some nine or ten inches thick, but
every individual, lady and gentleman, fully appreciating the excel-
lencies of the WINTER AT rIRE prepared by E. Mesas and Sow.
Never was there such a promiscuous gathering on the skating bust-
Meal as during the past week, and never such a display of fashionable
and comfortable Dress.
The success of E. Mons and Sox never appeared so much to ad-
vantage, and loud and numerous were the encomiums passed on
thein by the skaters and -the dense multitudes which lined the banks
of the waters.
, It appears that the business of E. MoSEs and Sox must always
irlinnph, the test Dress being prepared by them for every season,
°Ad. wet, damp, frost, or snow, variety for all classes, and comfort-
able attire for everybddy at the most economical prices.

East and:West End Establishment of E. Mesas and Sox secure as-
tonishing advantages in Quality and Price.
The WhOlesale Department affords the greatest advantages to
Purchasers either for the home trade or the colonies.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
