close after. 1t is feared that Catherine Jenk-

sB-Our readers and, the public generally
will find both their taste and curiosity highly
gratifed by a call at Titcomb's, 1913 Congress
street, where they may obtain most refresh
ing draught of pure soda water, combined
with syrups Of exquisite richness and delicacy
of flavor, drawn from one of Puiier's patent
silver Tounts, which is a very ingenious affair
and decidedly worthy Of notice. Mr.. Titcomb
charges his Fount from a Generator on his
own premises and we are confident that all
who taste his Soda and Syrups, will pronounce
them unsurpassed.
