During the high wind of Friday the

from the flag staff on the tower We
strongly suspect that the cord was ef-

At all events we have now good strong
union rope, and cur flag of the Stars

Tile business at that place under the name of
A. FULPER & co.
The subscribers will also continue to manu-
facture Tile, Earthenware, &c., at their old
stand, known as the &C Pennington Pottery, as
heretofore. These Tile are 141 inches long,
and have gained for themselves reputation for
darabaIaty and cheapnesS. unequalled by any
Tile made in the State. The demand for the
past year having been greater than we could
supply, we have determined to enlarge our ia
cilities tor manufacturing, which are now the
most extensive, complete and. efficient in the
country, so that none who come for Tile shall
go away with empty wagons Come on, farm
ers; we are waiting for the wagons, and are
anxious to give you the very best article for a
fair price. You can't make your farms worth
500 per acre without Tile. Being made of the
best clay ever discovered in New Jersey, these
Tile have never failed to take the FIRST PRE-
MUM at our State and County Fairs as often
as exhibited.
EARTHENWARE of the very best quail
ity supplied at all times at the Pennington Pot

above named places. We will sell Tile at the
