the class of goods can now be imported or pur-
chased from manufacturers for. Our location is
one OF the best in the city, No. % Broad street

Our desirs is to sell the entire Stock, with the

our terms are so low that no better opportunity
can be offered to purchase and continue safe

their interest to give US call without delay
Our Stock being purchased at prices greatly be-
low the present advanced rates, this is an oppor-
tunity seldom offered for buying cheap Hard
ware.
We would say to our old friends and patrons
that our wish to close our business at once,
makes it necessary that those indebted to US
should come forward and settle immediately
We have no disposition to collect oar dues by
law, and should regret to have to place accounts
in the hands of an officer for collection, but will
he compelled to do so unless settlements are
made at once. We trust this notice win be sutii-
cient, as we mean that our business must be
closed at once

THE Greeley and Brown committee have
just compiled a campaign document en-
titled "a Record of Absence of President
Grant ana the Cabinet from the Seat of
Government, 20 tie Neglect. of the Business
cf the Country, complied from Administra-

been absent from Washington for quite one

This fact shows how little interest Grant
