AN OLD STAND.-There are many in our
city who can remember when the late Mr..
William Allen opened Fruit and Conlection-
AIRY store at No. ID Exchange street, some
thirty years ago. His son, the present occu-
pant of that store, was for several years a
partner in the business, and since the decease
of his father hash his successor. The
business from the commencement has been
managed with much prudence and industry,
enabling them to meet every honest demand
promptly, without having to resort to the Gus
tomary method Of putting off creditor by
asking him to call again. os ea sVna
The business is now conducted on more
extensive scale than heretofore. Mr.. William
Allen, Jr., the sole proprietor, possessing all
the business tact and industry OF his father,
with the advantage of increased capital, has
made such additions to the business as his en-
terprise prompted, interest dictated and the
public demanded, until his establishment
stands among the first Of the kind in the State
in the extent of the business and the amount
Of stock kept on hand. He occupies the en-
tire store from cellar to attic, every part Of
which is used Tor storing goods or forumanu-
featuring confectionery. While he keeps a
large and well selected stock Of foreign and
domestic fruits and great variety Of confec-
tionary, his speciality is tobacco and cigars, of
which his stock is very large, and he can sup
ply the trade on the most favorable terms,
having been purchased before the Government
stamps we're required. .iss I'd 5a

How Late are the Polls to be Kept Open.
Some misunderstanding has arisen as to the
time the polls are to be kept open al the cleo
tion next Tuesday many supposlng that they
are obliged to be kept open, as they were at
the gubernatorial election, until 8 o'clock p.
M. This is not the case. At the late cleo
ton the polls were kept open all over the
State until that hour, by special provision
in the resolve passed last winter, amending
the Constitution SO as to allow soldiers to
vote; and this provision applied only to that
election. 3ao
On Tuesday next the polls in all cities will
be opened at 10 o'clock A. M. and closed at
P. NJ. In all other places having more than
800 and less than 5000 inhabitants,it is pro-
vided by chap. 40 of the laws Of 1861 that in
all elections of State officers and of Electors
of President and Vice President, the polls shall
be kept open till o'clock in the afternoon and
then closed. a 5ssa 1863 aa
