j. Murphy, of the cheap Mansion House corner,
dry goods, dress goods, fancy goods and house
furnishing goods for the fall trade. John J.
Murphy is determined to please, and so has pur-
chased the very best goods at the very lowest
prices Seeing is believing; so oand see Johns

THE rapid flight of time, in its onward. never
has once more brought about that season of the
year when the putting up of stoves, and the
fed character, become necessities not to be
avoided, and hence George Huntley should just
place in the consideration of his fellow citizens,
inasmuch as stoves, stove pipe, hardware and
many other things particularly useful at this
season, arc what he deals in and deals out at
fair and honest prices.
JAMES J. MURPHY, of the Star Clothing Store,
No. IO9 Clinton street. Johnstowh, has just re-
ceived u splendid stock of clothing for the fall

good, the styles of the latest and most fashion,
able designs and the materials the best in the
market-all of which combined renders MUIR
phys clothing the clothing of the age, while his
prices are ever dog cheap. Splendid suits for
the fall election and furnishing goods to match,
besides trunks and other articles in that line.

exhibition in one of V. S. Barkers store win
dows, and if they can then resist the temptation
to go in and buy, we are much mistaken in wo-
man nature, that's all Valle has very elegant
goods of all kind inside his store, and as he
wants room for his fall Stock he may be de-
pended on for extraordinary bargains.
