attention of our readers especially our
country friends, to the advertisement Of

another column. The fertilizers manutac-
tUrcl 10y this firm are of the highest stand.
tNrl, and have given the greatest satisfac-
ton on wheat and other crops for so many
years that it is unnecessary for us to say
aught of their merits
ChAppcls chemical works, on Cross St..
near C0yington have been in operation ter
over thirty years. and the first fertilizer
made in the United States was manutac-
turcd there by =. $. Chapel. Recently
these factories have been thoroughly re-
built IN the most complete manner, with
all the latest improvements. The extern
sivc works Of this firm, ON Russell street,
have Just been rcplcnishcd with machinery
of the latest patterns. MCssrs Chapel 4 |

largest scale; and as they make all of this |
ingredient used in the preparation of their
articles they can consequently supply the
very highest grades of phosphatcs at the
very lowest possible prices This house
stands among the highest in this country,
and the greatest reliance can be placed in
the fertilizers they offer.
Dir. J. J. HENSHAW, of this town, is

quantities ut short notice aug. CIV.
