Each num- ! ber contains a judicious selection of local learned by their judicious selection of goods and gentlemanly courtesy, and atten- tion to the wauts of their customers.

PUBLISHER'S NOTICES.
The Lisle Gleaner, Eugene Davis, publisher, ia advertised on page 294. The Gleaner is a neatly printed and worthy local paper. Its Local and Miscellaneous columns are well sustained, and we cheer- fully commend it to the favor of the citi- zens of Lisle and vicinity. All kinds of Job Work neatly executed at this office.
Carrington & Porter, Stove Deal- ers &c., at Binghamton, are extensive dealers in their line of business. The busi- ness of this firm was established by Car- rington & Prendergast about twenty years ago ; afterward the firm was under the style of Carrington, Prendergast & Carrington, Prendergast subsequently went out, and Carrington Brothers continued the business until Mr. Porter went in, when the firm was changed to Carrington Brothers & P'or- ter. The next change was to the present style. Since the begining, the store has been burned out three times. Now all the goods are new and first-class. Among their many styles of cook stoves, we take pleasure in mentioning the celebrated Peerless, of Boston, which took the first prize at the Paris Exposition, and a large number of first prizes in this country, and of which Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher says, in an article to the Christian Union, "This is without exception the most complete and in all respects the most satisfactory of any we have ever tried." Messrs C. & P. are also agents for the Celebrated Herring's Fire and Burglar Proof Safes, Lawson's Diamond Hot Air Furnace &c., &c. See their advertisement on Map.
E. P. Holdridge, Merchant Tailor and Clothier, at Owego, N. Y., advertises on colored page 417. A man that studies his own interest will buy his clothing where he can buy the beat and cheapest. "Money saved is money earned." Keep posted ; buy where you can get the full value of your hard-earned money. Better have your greenbacks in your pocket than shoddy on your back. Mr. Holdridge agrees to sell the best quality of goods from five to fifteen per cent cheaper than any other house can afford to. By buying in large quantities for cash, he saves a large profit and gives his customers the benefit of it. Buy your goods where you can find the largest assortment to select from. The mottocs of this house are : "Not to be Undersold," "Large Sales, Small Profits and Honeet Dealings." For anything in the line of Clothing or Gents' Furnishing Goods, onr advice is, go to E. P. Holdridge's, where you will find the best goods at prices as low as the lowest.
Burke, FitzSimons, Hone & Co., Importers, Jobbers and Retailers of Dry Goods, Fancy Goods and Woolens, Nos. 53, 55 and 57 Main St., Rochester, publish a card on page 277. This House was establish- ed in 1849, since which time its success has been uninterupted, each year increasing ita amount of business. Their annnal sales amount to the enormous sum of near $1,500,000, their trade extending from the Eastern portions of the State to the "Far West." Occupying, as they do, fully 40,000 feet of flooring in actual business depart- ments, making this the largest estab- lishment of the kind in the State, every portion of which is crowded with immense piles of goods from foreign countries, as well as of domestic manufac- ture, renders the facilities of this house for Jobbing equal to any in the country. The firm are also proprietors of the "Genesee Falls Woolen Mills," where they manufac- ture 100,000 yards of goods annually.
A Lady Artist .- Miss Ella Wood, a lady possessing a rare fund of native talent for art, and who has by careful study and long practice attained an elevated position as an Artist, has located perman- ently in Binghamton, where she has taken rooms at Beecher's Photographic Studio, No. 72 Conrt Street. Miss Wood's talent is not of that narrow contracted kind, which would enable her to produce satisfac- tory results in but a single line of art. She paints rapidly, and to the life, Portraits, Landscapes, Animals &c. She paints in oil from original sketches, and is desir- ous of receiving orders for Portraits ; a branch of her art which she especially excels iu. She algo finishes Photographic Portraits in Water Colors or India Ink with great satisfaction to her patrons. Our readers will consult their best interests by calling on Miss Wood and leaving their orders. We are sure they will thank us for the advice. See her card on page 302.
E. D. Robinson, proprietor of Southern Tier Furniture Emporinm, 88 Washington Street, Binghamton, N. Y., publishes a card on colored page 415. We would advise our patrons to visit the rooms of Mr. Robinson and examine the ele- gant Parlor Furniture, Chamber Sets &c., there displayed. and learn prices, and they will become satisfied that here is the place to purchase. Indeed the rich and poor can here find any desirable style and price, ac- companied by a corresponding quality. Mr. R. warrants all his goods and is bound not to be undersold.
G. F. Strait, Candor, Tioga County, N. Y., manufacturer of Lumber, Lath &c., advertises on page 196A. Mr. Strait keeps constantly on hand a good supply of Pine, Chestnut, Hemlock and Hardwood Lumber, Lath &c. We commend Mr. Strait to the favor of those needing Lumber for build- ing purposes, as we can assure them of fair dealing at low prices. He also deals in Ground Hemlock Bark, to which we | ornamental hair work to order. Give them would call the attention of tanners.
Misses Della and Theresa La- Grange, of Waverly, N. Y., have lately opened a Ladies' Hair Dressing Establish- ment at No. 3 Harnden's Block, up stairs, to which we call the attention of the fair sex. Misses LaGrange propose keeping a com- plete stock of everything in the line of human hair goods, which they will offer at reasonable rates. They will also make
a call. Card on page 20.

PUBLISHER'S NOTICES.
The Deposit Courier, published by Chas. N. Stow, at Deposit, N. Y., is advertised on page 230. The Courier is a first-class local paper and enjoys an extend- ed circulation. The Job Department has facilities for executing Book and Job Printing equal to any office in the County, and at city prices. We trust the citizens of Broom and Tioga Counties will accord it the patronage to which its merits entitle it.
O. D. Beman, 89 Court Street, Bing- hamton, N. Y., Watchmaker, Engraver, Jeweler &c., prints a card on colored page 278, in which our readers may think Mr. B. makes some stromg assertions; but we are assured he is prepared to substantiate any statement therein made te the satis- faction of any disinterested person. His instruments for obtaining the time directly from the sun or stars, as well as those for marking it, are as perfect as are made ; and we have been informed that he has had opportunities of comparing his observa- tions for time with those taken at the Albany Observatory, and they have never yet varied a single second. - We do not hesitate to recommend Mr. Beman to the favorable notice of our readers.
Horton Bros & Myer, dealers in Hardware, Stoves, Furnaces, Tin Ware &c., at 32 Court St., Binghamton, are extensive dealers in these particular lines of goods. The Hardware department has just been added, and consequently everything in that line is new and of the most approved styles. Their Stove and Furnace department is supplied from several of the best manufac- turers in the country. Among their low priced goods in this line, we desire to mention the "Cabinet Range," made by Richardson, Boynton & Co., of New York, which is made with great care,-doors and covers fitted like the best first-class stoves, besides having other valuabie improve- ments. In reality it is a first-class Range with a second-class price. Call and see it. See card, page 416.
D. M. & E. G. Halbert, Jobbers and Retailers of Dry Goods, Fancy Goods, Carpets. &c., &c., Nos. 11 and 13 Court Street, Binghamton, publish a card on page 2. This House was established in its pres- ent location in the fall of 1865, since which time its success has been uninterupted, each year increasing ite amount of business. They have been obliged to enlarge their store until they now occupy two floors, 30 by 180 feet in area, as salesrooms, and a store room 30 by 40 feet, making 22,800 square feet of flooring. The aggregate sales of this House amount to between $300,000 and $400,000 annually, with a steadily increasing business. The pro- prietors hope by honest dealing and close attention to the wants of their customers to very materially extend their trade. We advise our readers to call and see them when visiting Binghamton, as theirs is the largest Dry Goods Store in the "South- ern Tier."
F. M. Suook, Dentist, Waverly, N. Y., publishes a card on colored page 196A. Dr. Snook has one of the best arranged Dental offices to be found in the State. It occupies six rooms on the second floor of the Shipman Block, and was built from a design of his own, having special reference to the comfort and pleasure of his patlents. His abilities as a Dentist are fully attested by his large and continually increasing practice. He posseses all the modern facilities for doing good work, and we have no hesitation in commending him to the favor of those of our readers who may be so unfortunate as to require the services of one of the Dental profession. Dr. S. is a member of the Sixth District Dental Society, as also of the New York State and National Dental Associations.
Pratt & Comstock, successors to W. G. Singhi, Photographers and dealers in Stereoscopes, Views, Pictures, Albums, Frames &c., Waverly, N. Y., advertise on page 415. Messrs. P. & C. are prepared to take all kinds of Pictures known to the art, in the most approved style, and finish them up in oil, water colors, or India ink, if de- sired.
