ApvERT1s1NG,-W frequently receive from
Northern houses circulars containing advertise
ments and proposals for publishing them in the
Gazette, the advertisers making their own
terms, generally half price, and offering to
nav in their goods, wares and merchandise sat
discount" As far as we are concerned they
might as we'll spare their circulars. We do not
want their wares at these rates, noT their tick
cts in gift lotteries &c, and will not work for
them at any less prices than are paid by our
own citizens Every advertiser in this paper
gets his money worth, fully, by paying the
regular established rates, as published, and
that, in cash Advertisements are very accep-
table and desirable, but we assure the circular
advertising" gentlemen, who wish to make
money for themselves, at our expense, that we
cannot afford ''to work for nothing and find
ourselves. =" -

picked up all the buckets and such other articles
as he saw 10 front of the different stores he pass
ed. He was pursued by Mr.. Larkin, who came
up with him near the corner of Prince and Pitt

and stating that he would soon bring the man
who had bought them, walked off down the

made Of paper, or paper and muslin COM

one of the best materials for keeping IN

as may be enveloped in il.
The inventor designs his socks partic-

dinary socks or stockings, to be worn in
cold weather; bat il is obvioos that they
can be made Of kind Of paper which
viii las. as long IS an ordinary pair
would keep clean, and they can be made
so cheaply that their cost will not equal
the price Of washing Surely, the world
IS advancing, for paper socks indeed will
prove novelty. If they can be manu-.

claims, they will rapidly grow into gen.
