A splendid assortment of Christinas Groceries and New and Seasonable Drapery, at Christchurch Prices NO REASONABLE OFFER | REFUSED, Because it is exceedingly necessary that a large amount of goods must be sold in the smallest amount of time. To carry this into effect, the prices will be such that the people will be drawn irresistibly, even as by ye electro biologist, and the desired effect will be attained.

" What must be, must" ; yet it seems a pity that merchants are so persistent in having their little bills settled "up to the knocker." It -would save a lot of trouble if we could have all things in common. Seeing, then, that gold must be had " by hook or by crook,'' while thanking the people for their liberal patronage in the past, H. B. trusts that they will be even more liberal during this Christmas season, so that the goose may not become a red herring.
