RaautifuI Work

We noticed in the fair re ON of the Mechanics lnsti-
tute two cases of Boots and Shoes tor Gentlemen and
Ladies, manufactured by our enterprising neighbor,
Mr.. alexander Hi which reflects the highest credit
on his skill In the case of Genemen's Work we no.
tced two or three pairs of Boots and Shoes that sur
pass in Workmanship anything of the kind we haveey-
er seen, either homemade Or imported, and our only
regret is, that he has no competitors to contest the
MIN of superiority with him. The case of Ladies'
Work is also of the best quality and do not think
they can be surpassedby any other manufacturer All
who have seen this work compliment Mr.. II. highly
but not more than he deserves.
