Gay Brothers, New Programme will probably create more excitement than any previous event in the history of New Haven They have already astonished every one by the magnificent gifts which they have given to book buyers, but that was only the beginning of what was to come. It would seem as if they were now fairly aroused to business, and meant to show their envious neighbors (who made such tremendous efforts to close them up and charged them with setting up lottery, which charge they failed to sustain in courD what their rights are under the law, and what they can and will do.
 Hitherto they have only advertised to give away, not stating when or how, and made no promises, but gave away freely. Now they advertise, and agree to give every purchaser to the extent of One Dollar magnificent and costly gift, from the large stock of rare and beautiful articles just received and now on 1 exhibition. Remember no article given with 1 Dollar Book is worth less than one dollar at 1 the least.
 The immense stock of books are sold much cheaper than at any other store in the State.
 This offer is good for ten days only- : We are informed that this programme is based on plenty of money and the best legal 1 talent in the State.
 1 There is no doubt but they will make won :; derful effort to show what they can do. We expect to see 257 Chapel street, the Boston Bookstore, crowded for the next ten days.
 They have just received and placed on ex- hibition large stock of fine silverware from the Meriden Britannia Company, as also g large stock of oil paintings, all to be giver
 away.
