H. UNDERH1LLs CASH STORE

Though it is only some five to six years
since, that our respected citizen, H Under
hill, embarked in business with Mr.. Sykes, it
would nevertheless be difficult matter to dis
| cover any one in this section who did not rec
ognize that name as associated with the Free
mont "Head Quarters for Country Produce"
Nearly twelve months ago Mr.. Underhill as
sumed the entire control Of the business,
which by virtue of its characteristic peculiari-
ty and genuineness, has secured reputation
and confidence among our citizens at once
hattering to its energetic and genial head.
"Harlow," as he is familiarity known by, is q
live tradesman and scrupulously Just in his
business transactions. No one can treat bet
ter with farmers, or command their choicest
produce to better advantage than he, because
he has their confidence, pays them fair price
and does not conine himself, las is frequently

SO long as it is traded out. No, sir! His bus i.

totally impracticable in view, of retaining

his best customers to those award ing him only
transient favors-he will not in future seek
or yet entertain credit businessiS any form at
his store-and in making this . ssertion does
so in the hope that none may CIT dit him with
other than full appreciation of all past faY-
ors. His motto will be "pay an be paid"-
His constant aim will ever be to supply the

corporation. We congratulate friend Under
hill on his new and firm rssoIUs to do ONLY A
CASH TRADE-it is in strict keeping with the
spirit Of the times-it is the only safe and re-
liable mode of trading with mutual satisfae-
tion-and we cannot ourselves, credit any one
with honorable and worthy motives who fats
to appreciate and support any citizen in so
laudable q reform in his business transactions.
We heartily commend our citizen Underhill to
continued and increasing favors, and may he
never fail to appreciate the same by continued
aud increasing exertions to accomplish his ex-
cellent object of giving every one alike "the
most and the best for cash down."

DAWES has complimented the
economical management of the gov
ernment since the commencement of
the present session, when there was
a defecit of $l1,OOO,OOO to provide
for. In his speech on Tuesday of
last week, he assured the country
that the defecit had been reduced to
about 100000 and another month
would most likely witness its entire
extinction, and he had hopes there
would be a surplus Of some millions
at the end of the present fiscal year,
to be carried to the credit of the
sinking fund. Well, that's all right.
Economy is what was promised, let
it be rigidly enfored.

Rev. Il. A. Colburn introduced the lecturer Mr..
L. King, of kenton, TO The audience. The lee
turer announced his subject, namely, "Impres-
sions of Europe" and then proceeded with his
discourse. Mr. King, although new to the lee
ture rostrum, spoke with great ease and ANNA
ton, and was listened to with the greatest atten
ton by the audience, who numbered at least
three hundred persons. The lecture itself was
an admirably finished o-uction, and to the
most unimaginative fancy the sights and scenes
of the Old World were presented with almost
the yividncss ofn panorama. IL is seldom that
q traveller is enabled to present his impressions
of foreign countries, especially those which have
been SO often written and lectured about, so
graphically as to engage the undivided atten-
lion of an audience; but Mr.. King succeeded in
carrying his hearers with him, from the mo-
ment of his embarkation at New York until his
return to his native land. Those who failed to
hear the lectnre missed good thing, while those
who did hear 1t had IL rare intellectual treat, the
recurring memory of which will be pleasure
to them for years to come
