The Meyberg Bros, of the Crya

their stock embracing not lonly Q
most complete line Of plate, crock
cry and glassware, but also pressed
tin, Japan and woodenware, bah y
carriages, toys and notions of 9
thousand varieties. The firm have
been under the necessity Of enlarg.
ing and adding to their establish.
ment from time to time until they
have called into reputation apart
ments ranging entirely through
the block from Main street In front
to New High street In the rear.
Their stock OF toys and holiday
goods is especially full, and W.
doubt whether there is another
establishment in town where
one in search of presents can find
so wide q range to select from as
here. The Messrs. Meyberg have
already commenced their holiday
trade in earnest, and as the goods
are going rapidly, we advise those
who have an idea of purchasing to
call early.
