The following is the advertisement of
one who might be termed "handy
man: "James Williams, parish clerk,

and sells all sorts of haberdasheries,
groceries, etc, likewise hair and wigs
drest and cut on the shortest notice.

a specimen of an indignant adver.
tlSement appeared in the Times 1874 /:
" Should this meet the eye of the lady
Who got into the 1870 train at New
Cross station on Friday, May 10, with
two boys, one of whom was evidently
recovering from an illness, she may be
pleased to learn that three OF the four
young ladies who were in the carriage
are very i'll with the measles, and the
health of the fourth is far from what
her relations could desire"
The following from an indignant
husband, is culled from one of the Irish
papers "Run away from Patrick
M'Dallogh. Whereas my wife, Mrs.
Bridget M'Dallogh, Is again walked
away with berself, and left me with
her four small children, and her poor
old blind mother, and nobody else to
look after house and home, and, l hear,
has taken up with Tom Gingan, the
lame tiddler-the same was put in the
stocks last Easter for stealing Barclay
Doody's game cock. This is to give
notice, that will lot pay for bite or
sup on her or his account to man or
and that she had better never
show the mark of her ten toes near my
home again. PATRICK M'DALLoGH.
N. B.-Tom hal better keep out Of
my sight"
Perhaps the most curious advertise
ment for wife that ever appeared in
any paper was that published in Bells
Weekly Messenger Of May %, 1877. 1t
ran as follows: Matthew Dawson, in
Boutwell,, Cumberland, intends to be
at Holm church, on the Thurs
day before Whitsuntide next, when.
ever that may happen, and return to |
Boutwell, to dine. Mr., Reid gives |
turkey to be roasted; Ed. Clemson gives
D fat lamb to be roasted; John Gibson
gives fat calf to be roasted. And in |
order that all this roasted meat may be |
we'll basted, do you see, Mary Pearson,
Betty HodgsOn, Mary Bushley, Molly |
Fisher, Sarah Briscoe and Penthouse /
give each of them a pound of butter. |
The advertiser will provide every.
ming else for so festive an occa-
sion. And he hereby gives notice to all
young women desirous of changing
heir condition, that he is at present
and advises them to con-
,ider that although there be luck in
eisure, yet in this case delays are dan
yerous, for, with him, he is determined
t shall be first come first served.
80 come along lassel who wish to he married,
Matt. Uawso. is vexed that so long he has
tarried."
