Mr.. R. B. Frazer druggist Main
street, has, during the week, made great
improvement i'll his store room. He has
removed the two small windows on Main
street, and replaced them by one large one
seven by ten feet in size. This not only
adds to the appearance of the interior of
the store, giving additional light, &c, but
makes the outside more attractive, and
Frazer's drug store more easily found by
strangers.
We had the pleasure, this week, of
looking through the stock of MIR. John
Frazer. Merchant Tailor, Main street. We

leading merchant tailoring establishments
in the city carry a more complete stock of
goods. You can get any class of goods
you desire, and made up with as much
taste and as good fit as in the city. He
also manufactures first class shirt.

victory, that evening. He accordingly wenl
up on the ) p. NJ. train. When he arrived
at the depot he was horror stricken by the
intelligence that instead of the Democrats
having carried the two State, they had boil
gone Republican. This was too much, ant
knocked his anticipated pleasure into
cooked hat. As a train was just passing
bound south, he jumped aboard and re
turned home, never SO much as having
seen the face of the great Bay ard.
