certainly the sample Of butter which we have
received from him is evidence Of the correctness
of his opinion.

The firm of Clark & Kendall in this city, on
Water street, just south of the Journal office, are
turning ont some fine carriages from their estab-
lshment, indicating that they are accomplished
workmen. They have now on the stocks piano
box or road wagon, which is pronounced by those
familiar with such work, as the best job OF the
kind executed in this city. The wood work Is
light and strong, and was finely executed by Mr.
Fred F Kendall while the iron work, which is
really welded to the wood work, and apparently
become part of it, was done by Mr.. Hiram CLARK
a cunning workman. We hope our citizens who
desne to have carriages built will give their
orders to this firm.
