WISH TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING
5t f PROCLAMATION-
Whereas Being armed and equipped with such
a stock Of GOODS as cannot fail to strike the be-
holder with bewildering amazement, and please
the fancy of all and
Wereas having entered the field for the Fall
and Winter campaign of trade, am determined
to repulse, if not entirely vanqush the great sys-
tenn Of monstrous prices and murderous profits,
which have settled upon our whole country like
mighty Incubus, sinking the poor into deeper
depths of poverty, and dragging down the afflu-
ent and even driving many to distraction; and
.Whereas, have taken unusual pains in the
selection of my stock, and have purchased all at
the lowest cash prices, which will enable me to
accommodate the purchaser, at the lowest posi-
BILE figures
Therefore, I, SIMON H. HILB, do hereby
issue this my proclamation, to dispose of my new
stock, upon such terms as must give entire salts
faction: Whereunto have this the 25th day of
September A. d. 1866, and of the Independence
of the United States of America, the ninetieth
year, placed my hand and caused the great seal
to be affixed. s. Fl. HILB, A

POOLE & HUNT.

Manufactured at Baltimore, Md, by
POOLE & HUNT
The subscribers would introduce to the public
the above wheel, of which they the sole agents
in this State, as the best econOmiZer of water
known, and pledge themselves to furnish wheels

cheney the best overshot wheel In existence
Among the excellencies of this wheel may be
enumerated the following:
1st 1t is cheaper than any other wheel of the
same power.
I'd From its small size and diminished friction
1T has one-third more motion than any wheel of
the same power.
3d. 1t will use more or less water and with the
same percentage of power to the amount of water
used.
4th. 1t can never be frozen up or affected by
frost In any way.
9Th. 1t has given the highest effect due to the
head and amount of water used, of any wheel
record as tested by competent civil engineers.
9th. 1t is completely finished before leaving the
place of manufacture, and adjusted FOR running,
and enclosed in an iron case, requiring only to
be coupled to the water wheel shaft.
Circulars containing cuts, explanations and tes-
timonials may be had upon application to the
