ARTHUR Auctioneer. _____ The undersigned begs to inform his numerous customers, and the public generally, and espe cially the working classes, that he has just received Direct from England, and imported to his own order, another SHIPMENT of the CLOTHING FROM THE WEST END OF LONDON, of the same Fashionable Styles and and Materials which Avere so much admired here a short time ago. They will be sold at, a Great Reduction on the former loav prices, owing to the fact that being Bought for Cash a A-ery large discount Avas allowed him, in con sequence of dull times prevailing at home. The public are well aware that the advertiser has the best chance of offering Bargains to them than any other Clothier in town, for the simple reason that he keeps no long array of assistants, but attends to the wants of his customers him self, being on the premises from 7am. UJIIO p.m., and takes especial pride in seeing them Avell suited, both as regards Quality, Style, and Price. During his long business career, by attending to the aboA-c, increase of custom has been his reward. His Stock throughout lias always been noted for the best and well spoken of, no rubbish finding a place on his shelves, and he makes it a rule never to Buy other people's Old Rubbish at Auction also, but, always keeps replenishing it from the Best Home Manufacturers, selected by his own buyer. When any of the Stock becomes om of Date, instead of trying to pass it off on Cus tomers as Bankrupt's Stock st enormous sacri fice, he prefers getting rid of it, and sending it himself to auction. He does not believe in having his Creditors Selling his Goods by Auction, but sells them himself to the public at a Low.Figure, acting on the old adage, '•' Small Profits and Quick Returns." There is no puff ing about him. His advertisements are always genuine, and are paid for out of his own pocket, and not out of those of his creditors. They know they are always sure of having their claims paid in full, and so lets him "rip." The proof of the above-mentioned can always he found if the nub'ic will only look at the manifests of the different ships always arriving here from London, I. Levy's name always figuring pro minently as a Large Importer. SPECIAL NOTICE.—As I. Levy is a Profes sional Tailor, and has been a long time in business here, it stands to reason that be knows the kind of Goods to suit the public, and no Customer has any occasion to leave the Shop Avithout the different purchases fit to perfection.

C. T. WEEN, NURSERYMAN, SEEDSMAN, AND MANURE DEALER. May 1, 1877. MIE'S PATENT CHEMICAL MANURES, FOR ALL SOILS, CROPS, AND CLIMATES. These Manures have been proved, by careful experiments extending 0A rer a period of from three to four years, to be one of the most re markable and useful discoveries of modern times; and all who have tried, them testify to their excellence and superiority OA'er Guano, and all other known Manures and. Fertilizers, They have been tried with perfect success on Grass," Wheat, and other grains; Peas, Beans, Potatoes. Asparagus, and other vegetables; Vines and Fruit-trees of all descriptions; Shrubs and Flowering Plants of every variety, and Young Trees. They stimulate the growth in an extraordinary degree, increase and beautify the foliage and bloom, and, as has been shown by numerous tests, DOUBLE THE PRODUCE of everything to which they have been applied. They do not burn or exhaust the soil. The effects which they produce are permanent. They are a protective against Blights, Slugs, and other insects injurious to plants aim vegetation. One ton is equal to more than two tons of Guano in power and offect. No ultimate deleterious results arise from their use. Guaranteed pure and unadulterated. The above Patentee's advertisement, C. T. Wren is in a position, in some measure, to en dorse, he having used it with excellent results. Potatoes on ground that seven tons of Kidneys to the acre would haA-e been a good crop, by the aid of this manure have raised ten tons per acre. In Horse-beans, about 50 bushels to the acre is considered good, but with this manure, over 75 bushels have been reaped, and in many other items, equally good results.. Tlie manure is easily applied, and entirely inoffensive in its character, and is suitable for a Lady's Flower Garden, or the Farmer's field. C.T-W. hopes to have constant supply, and at present is in a position to offer it at £18 per ton; 20s per cwt.; and in Tin Canisters, at Is and Is 6d each. C. T. WREN, NURSERYMAN, SEEDSMAN.
