TyHHE subscriber respectfully informs
Il the public, that be is prepared TO alter
guns to the decorating or percussion prin~
ciple, at the New York aud Philadelphia
prices.
The superiority of this over The old plan
is very evident from the general adoption
of decorating guns by the sportsmen in all
the northern cities, where they are greatly
preferred to the use of flint and seel, A
much less quantity Of powder is requisite
in loading, the fire is certain aud much
quicker, are completely water proof, and
loaded in much less time, more secure a.
gainst accidents than common guns; and
what would reader them particularly desi.
