 system of furnishing goods by Weekly and Monthly Payments Has been practiced by us for years and con- fined mostly to our old customers and their friends, introduced by them.
 This system was first introduced by us at the earnest solicitation of many people with fixed incomes and small means, who prefer- red
 GOING TO HOUSEKEEPING means to purchase an outfit for cash, yet could E. ...4 N#+
 PAY A PORTION DOWN, And keep house much cheaper than they could board, and in this way they could save from their salary enough to make
 WEEKLY OR MONTHLY
 P A Y MI K " TT Sy By this class we were constantly urged to~ give credit in some way, so as to bring our goods within their reach, and were offered the best of reference, ample security, &c., &c.
 We were willing to accommodate if we could safely do so without additional trouble, and having but little faith in the loose reference and credit system established the system of selling our goods and taking security for the faithful payment of the same on the same article thus being secured against loss, and contracting no bad debts, we are enabled to sell our goods at the
 LOWEST CASH PRICE. And our large facilities for manufacturing, storing, importing and purchasing enable us to sell Q better article at less price than any other dealer in the state. | This Monthly Payment System Although first introduced to bring our goods within the reach of people of moderate means very soon
 WORKED ITSELF INTO GENERAL FAVOR With business men and others who could em- ploy their money in business transactions
 To far Greater Advantage. Yet such parties would not for moment think of taking credit and giving security by chattel mortgage to be publicly recorded, nor would they like to have their credit for few hundred dollars, questioned among their friends and acquaintances, nor yet were they inclined to pay an exorbitant price for the accommodation. With such our system is viewed in the same light as the discount of n bank and although our transactions are con- ducted in the same straightforward and exact ing manner, they are more private ill their character, as we require no references. and make no inquiries in regard to any one, for the laws of this Commonwealth and the property hired are ample security under any circumstances.
 TT IS THIS PRIVATE, MONMOUTH i, ING SYSTEM, THAT SECURES US MUCH BETTER CLASS OF CUSTOMERS THAN WOULD ASK CREDIT IN ANY OTHER FORM.
 At the present time when, with diminished income and uncertain prospects, every one is economizing and endeavoring to make q dol lar go as far as possible.

THE Springfield Republican correspond ent makes pat suggestion to Holland County mill operatives. There are plenty of little farms for sale about our villages, comfortable homes, which, with the land attached, can be bought for trife con- pared with the charges for village lots. Many of these are not too far from the mills to permit of daily toll therein for such of the family as can be spared. The farms can give remunerative employment OF spare time, and cheap asylum for all in the dull times so Sure to come now and then. For our woolen mills grow less and less an assured dependence for working people. We have got to approach little nearer the frugal ways of living of our fathers and grandfathers, and the lands of Connecticut, once so generally under cul- tivation, but now more neglected, will need to be put under cultivation again for the subsistence of the people. Agricul- ture must come nearer to the front again.

THE Legislature is expected to adjourn this week, probably to-day. Speaker Si- monds has been absent this week, being engaged. on case before the supreme court in Washington-an engagement made weeks ago under the presumption that the legislature would be through with it's arduous labors before the middle of April. The man who in January takes stock in talk of ''short session" invaria- bly gets left. ..-....... ......
 The legislature has provided for re- vision of the statutes, to be issued in 1887 it has passed "short haul' bill, with an ssunder similar circumstances" attachment, which causes the public to eye 1t suspi- ciously. It has done many things of lesser importance, and rejected many proposed methods, about the merits of which there were different opinions. The Middletown insane hospital get a $5O,OOO appropria- ton for a new wing. A committee is raised to see if MT. Storrs will give the state 8 clear title to the Mansfield farm school, the present one being hampered with proviso that the property be retain ed for its present use, and very reason able proviso, too. In case MT. Storrs re- fuses to give away his fine property un- conditionally, the committee are to recon mend some new location in Holland Coun- ty for the school. The ultimate purpose of the movers is not to locate the school in Holland County at all. It has been pro- claimed that the school must go west of the river. But
 The legislature reduces the price of board in jails, reformatories, etc., to $2 per week. It cuts off the standard time which has cost the state $2,0OO year. It passes the matter of a new state prison over to the legislature of 1886, which body will, we hope, take some responsible action. There is need of it, and 1t will be more apparent as time goes on. The game law, forbidding going upon land without permission, was killed by the sen ate. It is pity. It was radical ad- vance, but is time that farmers rights in such matters got some recognition.
 Two new superior court judges have been appointed, Phelps, democrat, and Torrance, republican. The democrats are dissatisfied because two democrats were not appointed, the judges now being largely republican. Gov Harrison friends claim that his course was non- partisan that he selected the best names of those suggested without regard to politics.

Business on the board was only moderate but
prices were generally we'll maintained. Though
no advances are noted there was more firmness
in the market all the way through. Among all
the articles dealt in butter at certain seasons Of
the year is the most III satisfactory. During the
winter it accommodates everywhere and when
the spring approaches the product of the Jersey

wholly changes its character and becomes very
undesirable commodity. 1t loads down the
grocer the commission man and the whole mar
ket and can hardly be disposed of at any price.

prices can be obtained for really choice grades.
