METROPOLITAN SrABLE.-This new
institution lately erected and opened by
Messrs, j. II. Height : Co., on the corner of
Fourth and lows strosts, is the best Livery
estsblishment that vs have seen In the
State. Its appesssiksnts are perfect, the
building having been put up with view to
afford great comfort to the stock and conve-
nience to the employees. grating has
been placed in the stable whereon to wash
the veichles, the waste water being carried
to the main sewer by drain, thus keeping
the floors perfectly dry A force pump is
in operation which will be very convenient
not only for every day use, but will be of
value in extinguishing fires. The best
horses and finest carriages that could be
procured for money have been placed in
this establishment, and they are now all at
the disposal of our citizens for considera.
tion. Success to the enterprise.

if you had, you would have given, as we
did, timely notice, so that Cook & Sargent
could not have bamboozled the people in the
way they have DONE Had you any regard
for Burrows & Prettyman, or any of their
friends? No, for you knew that Just such
barefaced game was about being played
upon them and the community, and you
were silent. Your toadyism was to the
Bank of Florence and its proprietors and
providing you received their gracious smiles
what cared You for Burrows l. Prettyman,
