HARDWARE FOR SALE CHEAP.-Our
readers will learn, by looking over our
advertising columns, that Messrs. NASH
& BREcKENRIDGE have determined to
close their business in Plymouth, and
that in order to do so they have thought
best to sell out their extensive stock here,
at cost, or lower In their stock will be
found many useful articles, such as every
farmer and every house keeper will want.
We understand that the goods are only
to be sold at private sale, and all can have
an opportunity to examine the goods be-
fore purchasing.
We are informed that Mr.. Nash, the
member Of the firm who resides here, in
tends changing his location, and for this
reason desires to sell at private sale. While
we wish Mr. NASH success in the sale of
his goods, it is with deep sorrow and
regret We note the fact of his intention to
leave us, and trust that the future pros
poets Of this place, and the ties of friend
ship framed here by this kind and intclli-
gent family may yet bind them to this
community, and prevent their removal
from our midst.
If business or other relations should
compel separation, they will carry with
them the wishes of our people for peace
and prosperity wherever they may abide.

ScooPrD IRA couple of boys named

were brought before Justice Bates one
day last week, charged with disturbing a
meeting in that township, and mulcted to
the extent of $45. Some benzine had been
procured and INDUCED in by them with
the above result-a pretty expensive lux

MIR. Miller, we are informed, while
attending the show last week, received a
stroke of palsy, from which he has been
suffering considerably ever since, but
hopes are entertained of his ultimate re-

we did not learn, is said to have occurred
on the same day.
