TTNO MY FRIENDS: It is with extreme regret
Il that announce to my friends and patrons
that circumstances beyond my control compelled
me to discontinue my business at the old stand of
N. nj. PORTER CO., No. 236 King street. In
making this announcement, / beg to tender my
sincere thanks for their liberal patronage and
support, and trust that in my new position they
will extend the same liberality. My limited CAPT
tai, together with losses of the past three years.
impaired my credit to such an extent that it was
difficult to keep up a supply of goods without
paying exorbitant prices, and was fast losing my
health, business and friends: In this extremity,
appealed to Messrs. WIN. s. CORWIN = CO., and
the liberality which oharacterzes that firm was
at once extended to me, and am now enabled to
offer better inducements. Their extensive capital
and experience permits them to offer finer class
Of goods at about the prices had to pay, partcu-
larly in Teas, Champagnes, Clarets. Brandies, &c.
The combined efforts Of myself and former part
ner Mr.. JAS. s. MARTIN, will be to please you,
and we respectfully solicit continuance of your
patronage; and we pledge ourselves to give our
personal and prompt attention to such. Again
thanking you for past favors and indulgences, L
remain yoRr obedent servant,

same time observing that he was quiet, Mr.
Kimbalf arose and concluded the sermon, all
the time thinking that Mr. Long was bet

sermon, lie turned to speak to Mr.. Long and
found that he was speecliless. 1t was an
appolectic stroke, from which he never re-
covered. He died Monday morning about
o'clock. He never spoke again. The best
