CHEAP CLoTHINd.-We would recommend
gentlemen who purchase their clothing in
Philadelphia, to call at the store of Perry
Il Co., No. 1903 Chestnut street, and examine
their stock. They keep constantly on hand
first class assortment Of Clothing, manu-
iactured from carefully selected goods, and
made in fashionable styles, which they
will dispose Of at the most reasonable
prices. Their salesmen are polite aud at
tentye to business, and customers may rely
on procuring such articles as they need,
without any deception being practced upon
them, as is too often the case in that city,
at houses where barkers are employed -
decoy persons into their stores.

able and eloquent speakers in the country,
and during the last few months has repeat
