WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...JULY 20,1878. FOR SALE. The underreigned, proprietors of the Weekly and Semi-Weekly Gazette, being desirous of dissolving the co-partnership now existing between them, and being unable to agree upon a basis for settlement of their affairs, offer the material and good will of the Gazette for sale. The office is fitted up with an abundance of news and job material, fine new presses, paper cutter, etc. The Gazette has a large and constantly increasing circulation, a good paying advertising patronage, and a large and profitable run of job work. It is offered for sale for ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS less than would have been taken for it one month ago. Anyone who desires to go into the newspaper business could find no better opportunity to step at once into a paying investment. The present good standing of the Gazette is due to eight years of hard and unremitting labor, and it is only because of the impossibility of adjusting our affaire to our mutual satisfaction that we offer it for sale. This offer will remain open for acceptance until the 31st inst. MELROSE & ATHEARN. ANAHEIM, July 15, 1878. HOW TO GET A SUPPLY OF WATER. The question of a water supply for the town of Anaheim is not only exercising the minds of the Board of Trustees, but is a subject on which much thought is being expended by the citizens at large. By the term "water supply" we do not mean water for irrigating purposes, but for domestic and municipal uses. If the town owned its own water works the expensive item of street sprinkling would be materially reduced, the danger of a conflagration would be lessened, and private residences could be supplied, thus creating a revenue for the town. As a matter of course, a flowing well would be the most satisfactory and best means of obtaining the desired water supply, and we have heard the question of the proDESIRED INFORMATION GIVEN, Rev. Robert Strong has handed us the following letter, with a suggestion that answers to the questions therein propounded would be of interest to others besides Mr. Stewart's friend: Room 20, Safe Deposit Building, San Francisco, July 2, 1878. Rev. Robt. Strong, Westminster, Cal. Dear Sir:—A friend of mine wishes to make the following inquiries: 1st. Is fruit-drying profitable in your section—that is, the growing and drying of raisin grapes, peaches, prunes, cherries, etc? 2d. Does Los Angeles county possess any advantage in this respect over central or northern California? 3d. Are orange planting is being carried on in Santa Clara and other counties on a large scale, what is the opinion of those in the business in respect to over-doing the orange business? 4th. What kind of farming would have to be done the first two or three years to support a family until the fruit orchard matured and the sale and drying of the fruit brought an income? 5th. Give the price of the best unimproved land? Yours very truly. J. O. STEWART. P. S.—People tell me that times are very hard in your county—no flour mill, etc., and that Los Angeles county is not self-supporting, etc. Please inform me. ANSWERS. 1st. Fruit-drying and raising is a profitable business, and it may be carried on upon a large or small scale, as one's inclination or means may permit. It is now quite common for fruit growers to have their own drying arrangements—either one of the numerous patent dryers or one of their own invention; and where the productions are good, no difficulty is found in placing them upon the market. The trouble is that through inexperience, carelessness, or imperfect drying apparatus a great quantity of mediocre and inferior fruit is turned out; and the producers, finding it impossible to place it upon the market, are apt to conclude that the business is overdone and unprofitable. It is not to be expected that they view the matter as it appears to others, and acknowledge that it is the poor quality of their productions that militates against a sale, and not an overstocked market. On the other hand, there are scores of fruit-growers who dry their fruit and find the business pleasant and pleasant one. ed the grower has only one recap a reward for his lace but of late years budded universally adopted, and profinely in three or four mistakes in think that a quired. And in proof of article on orange culture in another column of to 5th.—We have referred W. R. Olden, agent of the land and he has given us the "The prices for unimproved Stearns' Ranchos range a mere for first-class land cleaned and ready for greater part of this bottom-land, which will crops without irrigation and three crops a year. Land never stops; one can if a crop is not planted lie idle, but is sure to get of weeds, which will exert much as a crop of corn nuisance instead of a plant this land, when irrigated fit to the owner than for land dependent on the California. The irrigation where flowing wells are obtained, takes no ripe mathematical certainty. In answer to the request to repeat the trite phrase spoken by the late Noel the medium of a metrical times." It is true that condition, but it is no depression. Unless we formed, the depression is felt all over this St. United States. It is lively vicinity of the Safe De Francisco, times are near a year or two ago. Lack no worse fix than any State, and the indication to prosperity are just elsewhere. The greatest been that we have had wares and merchandise been produced at home not a self-supporting co- which much thought is being expended by the citizens at large. By the term "water supply" we do not mean water for irrigating purposes, but for domestic and municipal uses. If the town owned its own water works the expensive item of street sprinkling would be materially reduced, the danger of a conflagration would be lessened, and private residences could be supplied, thus creating a revenue for the town. As a matter of course, a flowing well would be the most satisfactory and best means of obtaining the desired water supply, and we have heard the question of the propriety of the Trustees sinking a well favorably discussed and commented on. To Professor Gunning, a scientist of no small repute, is attributed the remark that "the presumptions are that artesian water can be found everywhere by going deep enough. If there are places where it can not be found, they are exceptions to the general rule." No one can successfully dispute this theory. Indeed, it is generally accepted as correct. The trouble is that no machinery has yet been brought into use in this State that can penetrate the rocks and boulders encountered outside of what is known as the artesian belt. It is true, the Government has had a ponderous machine at work for the past five years at the Benicia arsenal grounds, which possesses irresistible power and is able to pass through flint-like rock slowly but surely. Such a machine, however, can never be available to private individuals or even small corporations, as it cost, so we are told, about $25,000. It is clear, then, that the machine is yet to be invented that will force a way through intervening rocks and allow the water which is undoubtedly coursing hundreds of feet underneath the earth's surface to spurt forth and begin its career of usefulness. Under these circumstances it is a question whether the Trustees would be justified in expending the public moneys in an experiment which promises so little, especially as the disastrous experience of Mr. Sheffield in this direction is still fresh in the public mind. If flowing water was indeed secured, it would be an inestimable boon, and canonization would not be good enough for the Trustees; but a failure to obtain it would be the signal for a fusilade of opprobrium which would be but ill deserved. Such is human nature. Another plan which has been broached, and which appears extremely feasible, is for the trustees to secure a lot in some central part of town and thereon sink a well or wells, build a reservoir, and by means of a steam pump keep it full continually. Pipes leading from the reservoirs to hydrants at convenient distances would furnish water for extinguishing fires and sprinkling the streets; and if it was found desirable and profitable, owners of private dwellings could be allowed to connect with the main pipe and lead the water to their houses, for a consideration to be paid into the town treasury. It is to be hoped that this very important matter will receive the attention of the public, and that before the next meeting of the Board of Trustees the citizens of the town will adopt some way of notifying the Board that such a scheme meets with their approval. One great desideratum of this county is an Alden Fruit Dryer. A very large and splendidly-appointed one was burned in Anaheim last January. It was employed night and day for two seasons; its products gained a ready sale and an enviable reputation in this adjoining States, and the proprietors were more than satisfied with their investment. Its destruction by fire was a great loss to the fruit-growing and farming community, who were just realizing what a very advantageous thing it was to have a home market for their fruit and vegetables. An unfortunate difficulty in adjusting the insurance has so far prevented a re-building of the dryer, but we are not without hope that the enormous and constantly increasing fruit crop of this county will soon attract the attention of some one with capacity and means enough to build and carry on the drying business in a manner equally profitable to himself and the community. 2d.—A greater variety of fruit can be raised in Los Angeles county than in any other county in the State. In no other part of the State does semi-tropical fruit reach the perfection to which it here attains. Northern fruits grow well, but in the very nature of things it is impossible for them to equal in flavor those grown in the more northern counties. Grapes of every variety, apples, peaches, pears, plums, figs, apricots, walnuts, pomegranites, etc., are grown in vast quantities. It is in this ability to raise almost every variety of northern and semitropical fruits that Los Angeles is more desirable than the northern or central counties. Some of the bay counties possess the advantage of being nearer the markets of the metropolis; but the cost of transportation of dried fruit is very inconsiderable. The contiguous Territory of Arizona is a fine market for the dried products of our orchards, and we have the advantage of being several hundred miles nearer that market than the northern counties. 3d.—The possibility of an over-production in the orange business has been discussed and commented on for the past ten years. A sufficient answer to Mr. Stewart's question (as to what view is taken of the matter by those in the business) is found in the fact that every year sees an enormous increase in the area devoted to orange culture, and that the largest planters of young orchards are men who own old trees and have been in the business from ten to twenty years. If they feared an over-production, they would not hamper formed, the depression is felt all over this St. United States. It is his vicinity of the Safe Dale Francisco, times are not a year or two ago. Lack no worse fix than any State, and the indication to prosperity are just elsewhere. The greatest been that we have bawais and merchandise been produced at home not a self-supporting nature has denied it to supporting.

It is to be hoped that this very important matter will receive the attention of the public, and that before the next meeting of the Board of Trustees the citizens of the town will adopt some way of notifying the Board that such a scheme meets with their approval. The proper way to do would be to sign a petition, to be presented to the Board, asking them to at once inaugurate and carry out the scheme above outlined, or a better one if the petitioners can discover any. Editor Express:—In your issue of the 11th appeared an article, copied from the Anaheim Gazette, concerning the homicide of Charles Neilson by McArthur, stating that McArthur was sentenced to the State prison for one year. McArthur was tried and convicted of an assault and fined, which fine was paid, as the records of the District Court will show. By making the above correction you will oblige Citizen. Los Angeles, July 12, 1878. Worse and worse. McArthur committed a cold-blooded murder, was arrested, found guilty of assault, and fined. The fact that he paid his fine is not, in our opinion, a mitigating circumstance, as "Citizen" seems to infer. It is just such miscarriages of justice that good on good citizens to the contemplation of the crime of lynch law. A list of the murders committed in this county during the past twenty years would require considerable space for enumeration. Can anybody point out a single instance in which a murderer, in this county, suffered the extreme penalty of the law for his crime? The Governor has issued a proclamation announcing the names of the delegates elected to the Constitutional Convention. A classification of the list gives the following result: Non-Partisan, 81; Workingmen, 52; Republicans, 9; Democrats, 8; Independents, 2. Eastern paragraph: Rearneyites in California wish to abolish labor in prison. They are shrewd? There is nothing like having an eye for one's comfort in the future. 3d.—The possibility of an over-production in the orange business has been discussed and commented on for the past ten years. A sufficient answer to Mr. Stewart's question, (as to what view is taken of the matter by those in the business) is found in the fact that every year sees an enormous increase in the area devoted to orange culture, and that the largest planters of young orchards are men who own old trees and have been in the business from ten to twenty years. If they feared an over-production, they would not hamper their valuable acres with a possibly valuable fruit. Although each successive year for the past ten years has seen new orchards contribute their productions, the market is apparently as good as it ever was, and the profits of orange growing are as great now as they were ten years ago. Of course, every article of consumption has been reduced in price during that time, and oranges are certainly cheaper now than then; but we insist that the diminished cost of transportation, labor, etc., fully counterbalances this difference in price, and that the profits are unimpaired. 4th.—The answer to this question can be found in the mode practiced by hundreds of settlers in this county. If one desires to put all his land in trees, he can utilize the land between the rows in raising corn, potatoes, beans, vegetables, melons, etc. The natural richness of our choicest soils will permit this to be done without in any degree injuring the trees; and it is even claimed by many that the constant cultivation required by these small crops contribute to the growth of the adjacent trees. Land is so cheap here, however, that it is questionable policy to put the whole of one's acres in trees. One-half devoted to fruit culture and the other half to general farming would be about the correct thing. One very widespread fallacy we take this opportunity to correct. It has almost become a proverb among those who are ignorant of any knowledge on the subject, that "you have to wait ten years before your orange trees produce anything." There never was so great a mistake. Properly cultivated seedling orange trees produce a good crop at seven years. If two-year-old trees are planted... ed the grower has only to wait five years to reap a reward for his labor. Not only that, but of late years budding has been almost universally adopted, and budded trees bear profusely in three or four years. It is a mistake to think that a large capital is required. And in proof of this we refer to an article on orange culture which will be found in another column of to-day's paper. 5th.—We have referred this query to Mr. W. R. Olden, agent of the Stearns' Ranchos, and he has given us the following answer: "The prices for unimproved lands on the Stearns' Ranchos range from $25 to $50 per acre, for first-class lands, uncultivated, but cleaned and ready for the plough. The greater part of this land is rich, moist bottom-land, which will produce the heaviest crops without irrigation; will produce two and three crops a year. Farming on irrigated land never stops; one crop succeeds another. If a crop is not planted, the ground will not lie idle, but is sure to grow an enormous crop of weeds, which will exhaust the soil just as much as a crop of corn or grain, and be a nuisance instead of a profit. Forty acres of this land, when irrigated, will pay more profit to the owner than four hundred acres of land dependent on the uncertain rains of California. The irrigator on these lands, where flowing wells are easily and cheaply obtained, takes no risks: his farming is a mathematical certainty." In answer to the postscript, we would beg to repeat the trite phrase, said to have been spoken by the late Noah Webster through the medium of a medium, "These is tite times." It is true that trade is in a depressed condition, but it is not by any means a local depression. Unless we are grossly misinformed, the depression and dullness of trade is felt all over this State and all over the United States. It is hinted that even in the vicinity of the Safe Deposit building, in San Francisco, times are not now what they were a year or two ago. Los Angeles county is in no worse fix than any other county in the State, and the indications of a speedy return to prosperity are just as promising here as elsewhere. The great trouble heretofore has been that we have been importing goods, wares and merchandise which could have been produced at home. If Los Angeles is not a self-supporting county it is not because The Culture of the Orange. The following article, from the pen of Mr. Wm. R. Olden, was published in the Gazette in 1875. It is republished because the information therein given has been sought for lately by several Eastern correspondents. The editorial in to-day's paper, in connection with this article, makes the present issue a desirable one to mail to enquirers: The orange is perfectly hardy in this section, and during the past fifty years there is no evidence that frost has affected the mature bearing orange tree in any manner whatever. If the orchard is of reasonable size the annual yield varies but little. When a tree is permitted to over-bear on any one year, its energies are exhausted in perfecting the crop, and produces little or no bearing for the following year, consequently the crop of the succeeding year will be light; but as all the trees do not bear full on the same year, the average yield is preserved. The better plan is to pick off all the excess, and only allow a tree to produce a fair average, as the quality of those permitted to remain will be very superior and sell for a larger price than if the whole had remained and ripened, and then the tree has sufficient energy to produce the requisite bearing wood. This industry has been tested and is well established. The orchards planted by a few men of enterprise living in this section 15 or 20 years ago, are yielding princely incomes to their proprietors. The profit on an orchard, that has been well cultivated and well managed, upon its cost, is notwithstanding the fact that it is well authenticated, and cannot be doubted, seemingly fabulous; but then we must remember that the men who planted these orchards had to wait ten long years from the time they planted the seed, until the tree produced any return, and two or three years longer before they could reasonably expect a large crop. At this time money brought a high rate of interest, and capitalists preferred to loan their money rather than invest it in orange orchards and wait ten years for a return. The trees then planted were natural fruit, but now the planter can buy two, three, four or five year old budded trees that will be in full bearing in formed, the depression and dullness of trade is felt all over this State and all over the United States. It is hinted that even in the vicinity of the Safe Deposit building, in San Francisco, times are not now what they were a year or two ago. Los Angeles county is in no worse fix than any other county in the State, and the indications of a speedy return to prosperity are just as promising here as elsewhere. The great trouble heretofore has been that we have been importing goods, wares and merchandise which could have been produced at home. If Los Angeles is not a self-supporting county it is not because nature has denied it the ability to be self-supporting. It does produce, or can produce, everything required for man's consumption; and the enormity of importing the most common articles of daily use, and the evil effects of such a course, became so transparent that some months ago a determined effort was made to rectify the mistakes of which the community had long been guilty. Leagues were formed throughout the county, the members of which pledged themselves to give preference to articles of home production; and although the energy with which the leaders in the movement began their work has apparently succumbed to their natural apathy, there can be no doubt that the arguments then used set people to thinking over the matter, and with very good results. It will not be long until the question of protecting and encouraging home industries is again taken up, and we think that this county will not much longer rest under the stigma of being non-self-supporting. A flourishing mill of large dimensions is now being built in Los Angeles. That city has had a mill for years, but a fire destroyed it some time ago. We hope Mr. Stewart's friend will find his questions fully answered, and if he or anyone else desires further information, we shall be glad to impart it. To those who desire to settle in this county we have a word of advice. Surrounding Anaheim are some of the finest lands that human eye ever looked upon. The luxuriant vineyards of Anaheim and its thriving orchards attest its fruit-growing qualities, while the waving fields of grain and the green forests of growing corn bear equally conclusive evidence of its fitness for general farming. School houses and churches are abundantly scattered around. The people who have settled here make good neighbors. The climate is admitted to be the healthiest on the face of the globe; and, take it all in all, no better place to settle down and enjoy life could be found. But to reach the grand results which have been attained by many here requires energy, industry, and money. Los Angeles county is a poor field for lazy or incompetent people, as well as for those who have not means enough to pay for their land and the necessary improvements. This statement will perhaps be contradicted, and instances will be given of men who have come here almost peniless and have paid for their land solely with the crops raised upon it. That there are such cases is undeniable, but where one has succeeded to this extent, ingly fabulous; but then we must remember that the men who planted these orchards had to wait ten long years from the time they planted the seed, until the tree produced any return, and two or three years longer before they could reasonably expect a large crop. At this time money brought a high rate of interest, and capitalists preferred to loan their money rather than invest it in orange orchards and wait ten years for a return. The trees then planted were natural fruit, but now the planter can buy two, three, four or five year old budded trees that will be in full bearing in half the time stated above. These trees cost money, but the great saving of time warrants it; besides, budded trees are certain to produce the same first-class fruit which the tree from which the buds were taken did. Seedling trees vary materially in this respect, but although the fruit varies considerably in size and flavor, still none of them fail to produce good marketable fruit. Many persons have an idea that orange orchards can only be planted by the rich, but I will endeavor to show that this is a mistake. The land upon which they are to be planted should have a water right, not only for the purpose of irrigating the trees, but also for the purpose of destroying gophers, if there happen to be any in the ground. The pests have a passion for the best things in the vegetable kingdom, consequently they gopher the roots of alfalfa and the orange. A good flooding of the land, once or twice a year, destroys them and they give no trouble. The cost of an orchard of orange trees is about as follows: the land may cost from $50 to $500 per acre, just as the buyer elects; but it need not necessarily cost more than $20 or $25 per acre. I will take $50 as the price of the land. The trees (seedlings) cost by quantity—say from 100 up to any number —1 year old, 2c; 2 years, 15c; 3 years, 30c; 4 years $1; 5 years, $2; 6 years, $3 to $350; 7 years, $4 to $5 each. It is to be understood that these are average trees, taken as they come. Selected trees command a higher price. Budding is usually done on the seedling at the age of two years, (it can be done at any age afterward) and the age of the tree is afterwards counted from the age of the bud, consequently a tree one year from the bud is 3 years' old, and is worth $100; 2 years,$2; 3 years,$3 to $4; but the owner of seedlings can hire them budded at a small cost per tree. The rich man will save time by buying of the nurseryman the trees, just as he wants them. He knows that the profit on them will be so disproportionate to the first cost, that a difference of $500 or $1,000 in the cost of an acre is a small matter compared with the saving in time. The poor man, who has more time than money, will buy yearling trees at 2c, and plant them in nursery form. At the end of the year, if he lacks the skill, he will employ an expert to bud his trees. This costs but little. At the end of a year the trees should be planted where they are to grow; here is where most ingly fabulous; but then we must remember that the men who planted these orchards had to wait ten long years from the time they planted the seed, until the tree produced any return, and two or three years longer before they could reasonably expect a large crop. At this time money brought a high rate of interest, and capitalists preferred to loan their money rather than invest it in orange orchards and wait ten years for a return. The trees then planted were natural fruit, but now the planter can buy two, three, four or five year old budded trees that will be in full bearing in half the time stated above. These trees cost money, but the great saving of time warrants it; besides, budded trees are certain to produce the same first-class fruit which the tree from which the buds were taken did. Seedling trees vary materially in this respect, but although the fruit varies considerably in size and flavor, still none of them fail to produce good marketable fruit. Many persons have an idea that orange orchards can only be planted by the rich, but I will endeavor to show that this is a mistake.

I hereby certify therelievingto be a full,ture Within the limits of Anaheim School District there are growing in orchard 38,150 oranges and 1,400 lemon trees.—Express. Be a little more explicit, neighbor, and more correct. The school district in which Col. Travis resides, and to which the above item alludes, is the Orange School District, formerly the Richland District, and the number of orange trees growing in orchard is 83,-150, only six years from the date the first trees were planted. Anaheim is an older district and, of course, has more trees.—Star. True for ye, my boy. But couldn't you be a little explicit and give the GAZETTE's correspondents credit for any items you take from their communications? These badly-paid and over-worked gentlemen deserve to be treated with distinguished consideration. Two or three weeks ago we gave currency to statements that were afloat regarding a mining dispute between the owners of the Blue Light Mine on the one hand and Messrs. Mills & Taylor on the other. The dispute was carried to the County Court, with the following result: Yesterday Judge Stephens decided the mining case of Taylor & Co. va. Dunlap & Co. in favor of the plaintiff. It was a case of forcible entry and detainer on the part of the defendants. This is the first case that has originated in the Silverado district. Dunlap & Co. claimed that their location covered the claim of Taylor & Co. But upon trial it appeared that such was not the case, and hence they lost the suit.—Star. In a conversation with Mr. Jas. Frye, of this city, who is interested with Mr. Nadeau in the cultivation of 1,500 acres of barley on the Brea Ranch, we learned that the yield will be twenty mills to the acre.—Express. The rich man will save time by buying of the nurseryman the trees, just as he wants them. He knows that the profit on them will be so disproportionate to the first cost, that a difference of $500 or $1,000 in the cost of an acre is a small matter compared with the saving in time. The poor man, who has more time than money, will buy yearling trees at 2c, and plant them in nursery form. At the end of the year, if he lacks the skill, he will employ an expert to bud his trees. This costs but little. At the end of a year the trees should be planted where they are to grow; and here is where most men make the mistake. They plant their trees too close together. They should not be planted less than 30 feet apart. At that distance when 20 years old, they will shade the ground completely, which is a disadvantage. I would advise planting 40 feet apart, but will make my estimate at 30 feet, or 50 trees to the acre. 5 acres of land, with water right, at $50 per acre.$250 00 Two plowings, harrowings and preparing the land.$25 00 50 budded trees, 12 years from the bud at $1.$250 00 First cost.$525 00 4 years interest at 10 per cent.$21 00 Cost of orchard in full bearing.$546 00 I make no provision for after cultivation, because the crops of garden vegetables, melons, potatoatoes, beans, etc., raised upon the ground, will pay the cultivator a handsome profit. Shallow plants do not interfere with the growth of deep rooted trees, but grain crops should never be grown among trees. If corn is planted, it should be only in the middle of the intervals, and should not shade the trees. This seems a trifling expense, as the cost of so valuable a property; but a poor man can, by waiting two years longer, reduce the cost more than 50 per cent., making a saving on the price of land and also the cost of the tree. It is evident, therefore, that an orange orchard is something easily attainable by the man of little or no capital, and is not a monopoly of the wealthy alone. The ordinary yield of a seedling orchard of 12 years or a budded orchard of 8 years will be say 1,000 oranges per tree. At 50 trees per acre, the yield will be 50,000 oranges, which at $10 per thousand, will be $500 per acre,$2,500 in some on a first cost orchard of $546 I JOE STEINART SAYS COME ONE, COME ALL, JUST COME AND SEE, HOW CHEAP GOODS ARE SOLD BY ME At WESTMINSTER Having bought out Alward Bro. & Co.'s store I will Sell the old Stock for Cost To make room for my New A 1 Stock Of General Merchandise, just purchased in San Francisco for Cash, and I will sell at the Lowest Possible Prices my carefully selected stock of DRY-GOODS, FANCY GOODS, MILLINERY GOODS, MENS' & BOYS' CLOTHING, GROCERIES, HARDWARE, CROCKERY, PAINTS AND OILS, DRUGS AND MEDICINES, BOOKS AND STATIONERY, AND MERCHANDISE IN GENERAL.

Witness my hand and the seal of said Probate Court this first day of July, A. D. 1878. By E. H. Owen, Deputy. A. W. POTTS, Clerk. By E. H. Owen, Deputy. To the Public. ON THE TWENTY-THIRD OF LAST APRIL I had the misfortune to fall from the roof of the Episcopal Church, where I was at work, and I was injured quite severely. For several long weeks I was confined to my house, and upon my first attempt to pursue my trade—that of Carpenter—I overtaxed my strength and suffered a relapse. My physician now informs me that it is impossible for me, because of my injuries, ever to resume the occupation which I have followed nearly all my life. Accordingly, I must resume the trade I first learned, and which I followed for four years, viz., that of Barber, Hair-dresser, and Wig-maker. I have leased for a term the establishment of Prof. Dean, and have succeeded to his business. I respectfully ask the patronage of my friends in my new business, and in doing so I take the opportunity to add that I feel deeply grateful for the exhilaration Liberality and patronage recorded me when pursuing the calling I am now forced to abandon. In addition to the barber business I will continue that season and undertaker. In the latter capacity I will keep on hand as fine a stock as harrotsore. I desire to call especial attention to the fact that I have been appointed sole agent for the White Bronze Monuments, the best and cheapest graveyard ornament now mode. I have a book showing designs and prices, and have also a sample of the material which I will take pleasure in showing to all who may desire. Patents. F. A.
