Bowles & Co, as will be seen by referring to
their advertisement in another culumn, have
bought the right for the exclusive sale of the
celebrated Flint Enamel Ware in most of the
towns in this county This ware is exceeding
" strong, and of its durability and beauty there
can be no question. 1t will not break by heat
ing and immersing in cold water, fact that
cannot be stated of any other kind of crockery
ware that we know Of The door plates are
exceedingly beautiful, and we think must even
tually come into general use.
Added to the above, they have large as
sorment of Crockery. Glass and Earlhen Ware,
Table Cutlery, &c. g., to which they invite
the attention of purchasers, assuring them of
better bargains than at any other store on the

called upon the Major to perform, he has not
