The stock of carpets now exhibited is surely ahead of anything, in size, varie- ty, and quality, which has before been shown here; and, while it may appear singular that Haxtford firm should be able to compete successfully with dealers in the metropolitan cities, yet the fact is that in the special lines of new goods the assortment here to-day is not to be equal ed by any retail house in Boston, and cer- .tainly not in any city in New England. The novelties displayed are genuine nov elites, and are of a class wholly new in this market. The English and French department, which occupies one entire room, IS rare gathering in of the best goods made in the two countries named The real French Moquet carpets, for ex- sample, which have heretofore been sold by sample, if at all, are now presented in full pieces and ln complete variety, and are of magnificent patterns and the most delicate texture. And the English Aix- ministers, Royal velvets and Miltons, and Brussels, are no less conspicuous for thelr beauty and finish. The colorings are very rich and the styles elegant Bor- ders to match the various patterns are a new feature, and by their harmonious blending when laid are strlkingly beauti- full. English tapestries of double width also new-are shown, and these will in vite special examination. It should be said that the most of these patterns are private, so far as this market Is concern ed, and cannot be duplicated here, which IS something of a consideration with buy CTS.
 In the American department, filling a larger space, are Administers and Brus- sells, close and valuable limitations of for eign productions, and prominent in this stock also is great variety of the cele- brated goods of the Hartford carpet con- pany. Buyers of these grades, which are of the choicest make, and embrace the latest novelties, including handsome sbor- ders, will here find and assortment suffi- ciently large to satisfy every fancy.
 In the department of ingrains and three plys there is still another fine exhibition, and here too the new feature of borders appears. The whole stock in this large room is of great extent and adapted to every housekeeping want. The entire collection in all departments embraces everything from the cheapest grades, up to the best foreign goods which bring six dollars yard.
 With this enumeration in a general way only of the carpet departments, the reader gets but partial introduction to the attractions of the house. The paper hanging department, with it's decorations, affords another field for satisfactory ex- animation, and in this part of the busi- ness fouishing trade is transacted. Still another special department feature is that of curtains and curtain materials, fixtures, wherein are the best lace goods, and notably the famous French satines, all wool, and very beautiful in all de- sirabie colors.
 The firm, with all this provision of fur nishing goods, makes still further par ticular thing of dress goods in all the incest grades, but more especially of black and colored silks, the stock being very extensive; and in the assortment of silks are the goods of the Cheney Broth CTS, in ample variety, which are eagerly sought by many buyers. Mourning goods are also exhibited as an important part of the stock. Altogether this portion of the establishment holds it's own fully with the superior attractions in all other de- partments. People in city and country, who are inspecting goods this year and who S1esire to see the latest and best things in the several lines here enumerated. will be abundantly pleased by examining the whole stock, and will surely not fail to be satisfied if they make their selections from it.-FrQDa Hartfo2d COurant, April 5, 1873.
