just pa,ented and are now introducing to
the public handsomely finished family

needed in every household, and in a COM

this paper the proprietors ask us to refer
them to some reliable party, to introduce
it TOR them TO the people Of this county.

ready, there are no weights to get lost Or
get ont of ORDER The description Of them
is handsome base surmounted by q col,

scientifically as to weigh anything up to
twelve pounds with perfect accuracy, on
the of the top OF. the column is the plat
form on which the articles to he weighed
