NOTICEABLE ENTERPRISE. To be
made well and favorably known is the
aim of every merchant or business man,
especially if he is engaged in the sale of,
or manufacture of wares that are
brought into daily use by the masses.
And how to accomplish this desired
end, in the most desirable way and at
the least possible expense, is his daily
study. While it is true that fortunes
have been squandered by the prodigal
use of printers ink, it is universally
conceded by those having made the
test, practically, that judicious advertis-
ing has never failed to realize the most
satisfactory results. The foregoing are
the practical reflections suggested by
the wonderful success of our Young and
popular townsman, Mr.. Fred. III. Gu
EFT, who began business in his new and
beautiful store, No. 269 River street, on
June l, 1877, and although having been
engaged in business for himself but Just
eight months, is doubtless even more
| favorably known throughout the coun-
| try than many firms who have been in
active trade for twenty years and up
wards. We have heard it remarked,
by the way, that too much capital was
employed by him in advertising, but
this impression has doubtless been
reached by the quality, and not the
quantity, Mr.. Cluett having long since
been recognised as one of, if not the
most judicious advertiser in our city.
We learn that several hundred instru-
ments have been disposed of at his two
stores (Troy and Albany, since his
withdrawal from the old firm, and this
is in part evidently due to the celebra-
ted instruments it his privilege exclu-
sively to represent. The Stcinway.

must continue in the ascendancy for
years to come. The results above men,
toned cannot fail to CRAFTY the multi
tude of friends of Mr.. Cluett, who have
watched with interest his wonderful
prosperity, and we rejoice with them
for this suspicious showing TROY

| %LDr. Nathaniel Harris was taken
with pneumonia about seven O'Clock
| last Saturday evening, and died on
Monday about three o'clock in the af-
ternoon. DIR. Harris was born in Mid
dlebury, in June, 1904, and was consc-
quently nearly seventy-four years of
age. He was the oldest citizen of Mid
dlebury who was born here. When q
young man he was engaged in the mar
bic business, working for Judd IL Har-
ris, and was several years in Boston as
their agent there. lie afterward took

he made his profession, being for many
years the only dentist in town. lie had
good musical taste and was fine per-
former on the violin; he was at one
time the leader of a band in town. He
was always noted for hospitality, and
for many years kept an open house on
every public occasion. He was prom
inent member of the Odd Fellows and
Masonic fratcrnities. Though not a
church member, he was quite regular
in his attendance upon the services of
the Episcopal church. DR.. Harris was
always a strong and pronounced Demo-
crat, of the Jackson school up to the time
when Stephen A. Douglas became a
leader, when he transferred his allegi-
ance to him. He was outspoken and
determined in the expression of his
opinions, and during the war and to the
day of his death he was always ready to
encounter discussion and to defend his
views, but never seemed to cherish ell
nifty even toward those from whom he
received, and to whom he gave, the
hardest blows. Mrs. Harris is now the
only surviving member of his family.
They had two children, of whom a
daughter, Sarah, was married to Hon.
