 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- tinns that We desire to address a few words to our patrons in that locality, through the columns of the Enquirer, that they may know what We are doing, and intend to do, in the way of merchan- diZing, the present season; and at tue same time to express onr grateful thanks for the gen. erous patronage heretofore extended tous. With the hope on our part, that this same confidence. pleasant feeling, and liberal patronage, may be continued indefinitely. we shall Hot approach you, at this time, or any other time, with high sounding words, laudatlng ill extravagant an- suatse onr goods, as we regard snch a system of advertising as prcdudicial to the interest of the advertiser, to say nothing about outraging truth. Our object is simply to caiI your attention, ill a few brief. modest words. to some of our goods, of which, at this season Of the year, every family is ill want. With this introduction, we proceed to invite you to d personal examination of our
 Carpet Department. We have given the carpet subject great con- sideration for many years, and hatter ourselves that we have more than ordinary facilities for purchasing them In the first place, we buy ex- clnslveiy for CAsH-having never Ill single in- stance tried our credit in the Carpet market in fact. can say we are utterly ignorant .f time prices. This gives us, we think, a decided ad- vantage over dealers of less capital. In the sec
 
 experience in the great Carpet Markets of the 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, that smaller operators cannot command, ,-con- sequently, we arc prepared to show up a greater variety of styles and at prices much lower than they generally rule in smaller establishments, and with as close margin as any dealer in 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 eozy 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 Of
 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 in this .departme t, they canno. be appye- eiated only by personal examination, and if you will visit us ve ill show them up with the great est pleasure.
 We have an endless variety in the way of
 OIL CLOTHS!
 B rA Al 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.
 Onr assortment in
 CURTAIN GOODS perfectly immense as this season, and we were very fortunate in buying early, as they have ad- yanced about ten per cent. since the purchase. The following list is in part our stock:
 English Holland, Nottingham
 Lace. Kept Goods. BF0ca-
 telles. Sc. Sc. g, 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 and have succeeded much better than we ex- pected. There is no decoration adds so much to inc general appearance of parl0r or family room as beautiful wallpaper, and nothing ds- stroys the symmetry of a spacious and otherwise elegant drawing room. 90 utterly, as ugly looking naper. Our ideas of taste, and love for the beautiful are % shocked aad outraged that we cannot look upon it, and can hardly muster courage sufficient to examine the pictures hang ing upon the wall. 1.-the richest English tapis- trs carpet is spread upon the floor. if elegant sofas and sumptuous easy chairs are tastily ar ranoed about the room and the rarest paintings aIloTn the walls, the whole thing is a wretched failure if the wall paper IS misefapts u1up of meaningless scrawl. We have fine display in Gilt. Ornamentals. & Satins, together with large assortment of the medium and common grades snitabls for rooms of no pretensioUs.
 sav That we desire to continue the same friendly ;niserconrse with Litchfield people that we have so long enjoyed and shall strive. as in the past, to deal justly and honorabiy by them, and glye haneft of every fortunate purchase. Come and eee ys, Yours truly, 4s Es4 1s~s
