ton Trade sales, varied assortment of very
cheap books. Mr.. Head has had so much ex-

what iswanted in the Wilmington market. This
springs books sold rather cheaper at the trade
sales than usual; thus inducing him to lay in
n larger stock than customary. Hence he is
able to sell books at greatly reduced prices
this spring. Those wishing to supply their
libraries, will make something by calling Mt

drawn about the streets, for we think they are

have of their handwork. Messrs. Woolman

| time to go to Cuba, which is ample proof that
their work is appreciated not only Mt home but
| abroad.
