 Our trade from the people of Litchfeld and vicinity has been very large the past ten years, but of late. it has grown to such huge propor- tiuns that We desire to address few words to our patrons ill that locality, through the columns of the Enquirer, that they may know what we are doing, and intend to do, iii the way of merchan- dizing, the present season; and at the same time 10 express onr grateful thanks for the gen. erous patronage heretofore extended to us. With the hope on our raj that this same confidence, pleasant feeling, aud Gbe.al patronage, may be continued indefinitely, We shall not approach you, at this lime, or any other time, with high sounding wor3s, lauttatlng in extravagant an- guage or: goods. as We regard snch system of advertising as fredudicial to the interest of the advertiser, to say nothing about outraging truth. Our object is simply to cali your attention in a few brief. modest worlds to some of our goods, of which ,st this of tie year every family is in want. With this introduction, We proceed to invite you to apersonal examination of our
 Carpet Depart sderatlon for many years, and hatter ourselves that We have more than ordinary facilities for purchasing them. In the first place, We buy ex- cluslvely for CAsH-having never ln single in stance, tried our credit in the Carpet market; in fact, can say We are utterly ignorant Of time prices This gives us, We think,a decided ad- vantage over dealers of less capital. In the sec ond,place we have had more than thirty years GApSfISbtG Ill Ine great CafptC MdTkStS Ot IllO country, and think we have the inside track in styles and prices. In the third place, we are SO frequently in the market, and such large buyers, that dealers are glad to extend privileges to us, seqaently, we are prepared to show ups greater variety of styles and at prices much lower than they generally rule in smaller establishments, and with as close margin as any dealer ill New Haven or Hartford. At this season of the year, when the birds begin to sing their earliest and sweetest notes, and the grass IS struggling for place and name on the fair earth, Is the time of all others, to carefully look over the parlor and coZy sitting room. preparatory to the introduc- ton of new and modern carpets, and after se- riously considering the kind wanted and about the price yeu wish to pay, We should be pleased to show up entire stock, consisting in part off
 ENGLISH BoDY BRUSSELS, ENGLISH
 TAPIsTRY-a splendid article,
 RoXBURY TAPESTRY.
 ALSO,
 LOWELL. INGRAINs AND THREE-PLYs- New patterns and magnificent colors. Also, great variety of good styles and cheaper grades. We cannot, on paper, speak of the merits of our goods ill this departme t, they cannot be appre- ciated only by personal examination, and if you will visit We will show them up with the great est pleasure.
 We have an endless variety in the way of
 OIL CLOTHS!
 which we should be very glad to show you. They are of all widths, colors, and patterns some of them are new and very unique.
 Our assortment in
 CURTAIN GOODS was never so large and our sales were never SO perfectly immense as this season, and we wele very fortunate in buying early, as they have ad- vanced about ten per cent. since the purchase. The following list is in part our stock:
 English Holland, Nottingham
 Lace. Kept Goods, BrOca- telIes, sc. Sc.
 We have devoted great deal of valuable tune this season to visiting the markets to find just what we wanted in the line of
 PAPER HANGINGS l and have succeeded much better than we ex. pected. There is no decoration adds so much to the general appearance of parlor or family room as beautiful wallpaper, and nothing de- l stroys the symmetry of a spacious and otherwise elegant draWing-room, so utterly, as ugly looking paper. Our ideas of taste, and love for the beautiful are so shocked and outraged that we
