RC RLINGTO ON:

W ell, Monsieur I0nSOn is come again. Inc
Holidays are at the door. Christmas and
| New Year's-the time of good cheer of vaca-
tons and reunions, of bills and balance
/ sheets, of lightened purses and loaded tills,
/ of crowded shons and stuffed stockings, is here
once more. Every one who has money 20
| spend is "letting it slde'' little more freely
than usual, and business men who manage
well and advertise literally are doing a
! brisker business than ever. We avail our
selves of this peculiar conjunction of affairs
/ to present to our advertisers our customary
bolid offering, of what we have we give
them, TO each a good word and pile of good
wishes Let US call them off
| Beginning with the dry goods men, and
at the nearest corner, we first congratulate
the wide-awake proprietor of "the Corner
| Store on his obvious success in business,
and his growing trade. Read his list of at
fractions for the Holidays, new Goods and
new styles, silks and laces, cloaks and
cashmeres! What is there not there, and
what. let us ask respectfully, can be more
satisfactory than LYMAN's low prices?
The hum of the Bee hive meets us as we
step across the street, and glance through
| the doors shows the ong counters thronged
! with purchasers. The new system Inaugural
ted during the year by the Messrs PECK
seems to work we'll Cash dealing; one
price-and that low one, and so no waste
of time (whcn is money! in disputes over
prices rich and tasteful goods in endless
variety and Il profusion which will stand
heavy run either at retail or wholesale-that
is - the idea - with the enterprisng proprl-
etors of the Beehive. and their idea is fully
wrought out in practice. We wish them a
long continuance of their remarkable success.
SrA>IFoRD's. the oldest established dry
goods house in Burling ton, is evidently not
to be thrown into the shade by its newer
competitors stock Of goods, complete
from a paper of pins to pile of carpeting
low figures, and prompt attention to the
wants of customers, might be expected to Sc
cure to Stamford a steady increase of his
thriving trade, and they have undoubtedly
done SO.
JELLIsoN continues to make the " Peoples
Store" one OF the " household words Of
Burlington, and there is every reason why 1t
should be las it s) a favorite shopping place.
We perceive that Jellison announces fresh
supplies of Embroideries and Fancy Goods,
for the Holidays, and if he is thronged TO
death with customers, we cannot help it.
l. W. PAGE is an accession to our corps of
Merchants within the year past, and is just
the man to fill the opening for another Dry
Goods Store on that side Of Church street
A Burlington man. familiar with the wants
and ways Of this community fully posted IN
his business always obhging aud attentive
and determined % make his way by straight
forward dealing and liberal inducements to
his customers, Page ought to secure a large
share Of the patronage Of the public; and we
believe he is securing it.
The Bookstores, of course, are in full blast
in holiday time, for a good book is always
an acceptable present. E. a. FULLER has
been compelled by his growing trade to en-
large his store on Church street, and it ap-
pears to be more fully stocked than ever,
with everything in his line. Besides standard
and gilt books. his assortment includes
great variety of rich papier mache drawing
l. t,.la Sgf
many kinds, which cannot fail to attract
those who are on the look out for 'just the
thing" for a present.
SAMUEL HUNTINGTON, too, has increased
his stock of fine Standard works, in elegant
bindings, Children's games and toy-books.
beautiful stationery and fancy articles, all
in great profusion, and cheap as the cheap
est. His store is always pleasant and salts
factory place to trade at, as his numerous
! cu-t mers are well aware.
The Jewellers are altogether too busy now
a-days to read the newspapers, and 1t will
| make little difference to them what we say
about them Still it gives US pleasure to
| remark that the store of BRiSSMAID q Hill
| DRErH. in Bank Block, was never more full
! ly supplied with fine watches, rich Jewelry,
! and gold and silver and plated ware, and all
the variety Of articles Of use and ornament
! which make the Jewellers shop SO attractive
a place at all times, and especially at the
present time.
JAMES BRIxsMAID at the old stand on
/ Church street, has also replenished his stock
expressly to meet the demands of the season.
! \ call at his store will reveal a bewilderlng
/ display of beautiful and tasteful goods. too
numerous for us to catalogue.
After all there are few things, which are
more acceptable TO a lady at this season than
"a set Of handsome flirs. n. ALLEN is the
man to consult with on that point, and will
furn sh sets at from iv5 to five hundred dol
lars, any day. People are often cheated in
purchasing lurs in the cities, for it is not ev-
erv one who knows how to buy lurs but at
Aliens there is no risk OF deception The
goods will be what they are represented to
i be, ana as chedp as tley Cdi' oe DOuS"' any
