stale puns concerning "soles" and "under-
Standings But We will say in sober ear
nest that 4. PRouTY's Shoe store in Bank
Block is model of a neat. quiet, we'll pro-
vidcd store. Mr. Prouty's good taste and
thorough Judgment in the selection of his
goods may always be relied on, and his stock
is kept full by frequent additions of seasonal
BILE articles Miles Howe, on Church St,
manufacture largely, as well as deal in boots
and shoes of other peoples make. They are
never undersold, we believe, and have a way
of keepiny their customers after they get
them, which shows that they understand
their business, and the true princi pies of sue
cess in trade.
From the outer to the inner man is no
more of n step than from the sublime to the
ridiculous. We d. not know that any body
now maintains that is ofno consequence what
is put away in the dark places of mans in
ternal economy; but if there is DEWEY will
convince him of the fallacy OF his position
He will show him that mans grocer nature
must be carefully ministcrcd unto in order
to success in life, and he will show him on
the west side of Court House Square) the
sugars and salts the essences and extracts,
the pickles and preparations, the fish and
flesh and fruit with which this portion Of the
"chemistrv OF common life' is performed.
1t is to be noticed that though Dewey has
abandoned the rum agency, he still keeps
the Rumford yeast powders. We may
add, that the fact that he keeps bluing does
not injure the quality Of hi o, RS, and that
his cheese has no taste of turpentinc although
he sells burning fluid
The store of SrowELL & HART, in Bank
Block, has also become one of the instiJu-
tions of Burlington. In addition to nice
groceries and household stores Of every
description, they keep varied assortment of
wooden ware, dry goods and miscellaneous
articles.
But it is not necessary for us to waste words
on the retail groceries, when we can attend
to them masse, by saying good word for
the fountain head from which 50 many o.
them obtain their supplies. Of course, we
alude to VANsIcKLEN & WALKER, Their
wholesale and retail grocery establishment
in the large stone store on Water street,
is fully equal to any demand upon it.,
from a pound of tea to ii hundred or
thousand barrels of pork or -four.
To those who buy to sell again, we
heartily commend Messrs. V. & W as prompt,
reliable and liberal dealers. 1t will occur, of
course, to those who buy at retail, that the
resources of Wholesale establishment, give
its proprietors important advantages for their
retail trade.
Speaking of groceries reminds us of the
, markets The new market under the Town
t Hall we noticed the other day, and we need
f only say that Messrs. MURRAY & Co. are
l daily making good all that we promised OF
2 prophesied in their favor. Messrs. DREW
' il 4ArwAIEn, GA W,toi street, have ulsuu ell
ordered market, where the best of meats and
poultry may be always Obtained. They
supply large and growing class Of custo'
. mers, at their own doors and from daily
experience OF several years we can recon-

We had nearly forgotten Mr.. W. w
r PARTRiDGE's music store, and a serious Dmi;
i sion from our list it would have been. Wha
t nicer present can be imagined than Il musi
v cal instrument, piano or melodeon, OF flute
IS or violin, OF a roll Of new music for one whc
g has an instrument? Mr.. Partridge is tn
: man to call on for all such things. His stor
y on College street is pleasant one, his stocl
e is large, and his own judgement in the selec
IS ton of either instruments or music is yer
r valuable.
We cannot advise any one to make frien
f or lover present of bottle of Castor Oi
