for one moment from that path in which an
open and honorable business ouht to be con

with a call, he will teil them himself, what re
duction has occurred in his prices, and he be

The subscriber also deems it expedient to
close his accounts bv Note or Cash, he would
most respectfully remind his customers that
he does business upon a credit of six months
in most instances, and that the time allotted,
has, in respect to a good many, expired. He
hopes the call for a settlement will be general,
for he wishes, in order to do full justice to all
his customers to know precisely the situation
of his business. T. R. FENTRESS.

IMPORTANT WORK
NOW IN THE COURSE OF PUBLICATION.
A DICTIONARY
Of Arts, Manufactures, and Mines, coniain
ing a clear exposition of their principles
" - r? andl practices. -" ' -By
Andrew Ure, M. D Fi R. S. M. G. S. M.
A. S. Lond. Mem. Acad; N. S. Phi la del. S,
Ph. Soc. N. Germ. Hanoy. Mulii. &c. &c.
Illustrated with one thousand two hundred
and forty-one engravings!
THIS is unquestionably the most popular
work of the kind ever published, and a book
most admirably adapted to the wants of all
classes of the community. The following are
the important objects which the learned "author
endeavors to accomplish: 15 ?
1st. To instruct the Manufacturer, Metal
lurgist and Tradesman in the principle of their
respective processes, so as to render them, in
reality, the masters of their, business ; and, to
emancipate them from a state of bondage to
such as are too common governed by blind pre
judice and a vicious routine. .
2ndly. To afford Merchants, Brokers, Dry
salters, Druggists, and officers of the Revenue
characteristic discription of . the commodities
which pass through their hands. v
3rdly. By exhibiting some of the finest de
velopments of Chemistry and Physics, to lay
open an excellent practical school to Students
of these kindred societies.,
4thly. To teach capitalists, who may be de
sirous of placing their funds in some produc
tive branch of industry, to select, judiciously,
among plausible claimants. , , . .
5thly. To enable gentlemen of Law to be
come well acquainted with the nature of those
patent schemes, which are so apt, 16 ive rise
to litigation.
6thly. To present to legislators such a clear
exposition of the staple manufactures, as may
dissuade them from enacting laws which ob
struct industry, or cherish one branch of it to
the injury of many others.
And lastly, to give the general reader,intent
chiefly on Intellectual Cultivation, views of
many of the noblest achievements of Science,
in effecting those grand transformation of mat
ter to which .Great Britain and the United
States owe their permanent wealth, rank and
power among the nations of the earth.
The latest statistics of every important ob
ject of Manufacture are given from the best
and usually from official authority at the end
of each article. , r
The work will be printed from the 2d Lon
uon Edition, which sells for $12 a copy. It
will be put on good paper, in new brevier type,
and will make about 1400 8vo. pages. It will
be issued in twenty-one semi-monthly numbrs,
in covers, at 25 cents, each, payable on deliv
ery. $CT To any person sending us five dollar
at one time in advance, we will forward the
numbers by mail, post paid, as soon as they
come from the press. v
To suitable agents this affords a rare appor
tunity, as we can put the work to them on
terms extremely favorable. In every manu
facturing town, and every village throughout
the United States and Canada subscribers
may be obtained with the greatest facility. Ad
dress, post paid, La Roy Sunderland, 12G,

visement entire 12 insertions, we will forward,
