coarse expression in the whole of the speech
but it was all in polished lines, all radian,
with the fire which will glow in the heart lone
after the actor has passed from our midst, and
will live in the memory whenever the events
reviewed are required to by any present. He
spoke the voice of true patriotism, which can

The Oldest Tea Establishment in America.

TINE Canton Tea Company has been popularity
L known tor many years. This is the largest and
oldest Tea Establishment in America The public
have had full proof of their integrity and response
bty. But such has been the great and pressing de-
mand for their Teas of late that they have been obi
ged to enlarge to great extent, their two principle
establishments in New York, viz: :
1875 Chatham a. 1873 Greenwich Streets.
They moreover possess facilities in relation TO the
Tea trade, in very abundant degree, and doubtless
superior to any other Tea Concern in America
Their scrupuous regard TO all principles that tend
TO elevate the character of large house, is well
derstood, and has already procured them a connec-
ton, probably, larger than all other Tea establish
ments united and they consequently determined
TO sell teas purer, fragrant and perfect for the
price, in the aggregate than any house in the world
China excepted.
They zealously invite the attention of the in
habltants OF this city and surrounding country to
their agency-Mt ssrs. ALLs & HowEs', where the
following assortments are always hand; and they
feel no hesitation in stating, that wherever single
trial is made, very decided preference is given TO
the celebrated Teas of the Canton Tea Company.

The hostiities going on in Scheswig- Holstein

hope that matters can resume their ordinary
