H. NEW FIRM. ,-
New Principles of Business

DEING satisfied that selling for CASH and
u short credit, for one price, at small profits,
best in the end, both for the buyer and seller,
we will hereafter do business on that prinei-
pie, and will marx everything at the lowest
CASH price, in plain figures, from which we
will not deviate.
We do not wish to open any new accounts,
but will continue accounts with such of the old
customers of j. SENsESEY, that have always
paid their bills promptly when presented.
Placing them on the same footing as the cash
buyer, we will require their bills to be- paid
hereafter n
@ q A r T ERLY IN CAS- II,
We repue present custom of selling to
one person at one price, and to another, at a
different price-everything being marked at a
fixed PRICE, in plain figures, the smallest boy
in the store will sell as cheap as the owners,
and child can buy as cheap as the greatest
Jew. We wish to do business on strict moral
principles, and rely on the good sense of the
people to sustain US in our efforts. sr ....

A Deadly Color.

The new AIof green of the Paris spring
fashions is dyed with such poisonous ma
terials that seamstresses who prick their
fingers while sewing it lose the use of
their hands, and ladies have been taken
violently i'll from wearing shawls of this
color. The tint is very brilliant, and, we
may add, the kint very valusble.-Enqui-
rer tE.
Yet this new spring fashion will be
worn by thousands, at the risk of their
health. This poison in the azof green
may kill quicker, but not with greater Ger.
tainty, than many other fashionable folies
of the day. France is great country
for scientific men, who seem to study tc
devise ways and means to kill off the
human species--at least that part of then
who are foolish enough to follow thcil
abominable fashions.
When this Azof green fashion come:
TO America-as it certainly will-nc
doubt thousands Of Paris fashion papers
here will have it, in spite Of all warning
of its deadly poisonous nature. Clermon

W@ HoHopay's Pills, or rather their
effects, are producing a sensation unpar-
allelcd in the history of the healing art
in this country. They are annihilating
the experimental practice of the faculty.
Why say the victims of dyspepsia,
dysentery and bilious complaints-"why
should we permit the practitioner to test
the power of half dozen medicines upon
US, when we know that HoLLowAY's PILLS
are all sufficient to effect a cure?" 1t is
not alone in consequence of printed testi
mony and common report that this fact
is patent to all the world; it is also verrif
ed to tens of thousands by their own in
dividual experience and personal observa
ton.
