 photographs of the leading apiarists, to 

 sell to those who wanted them. We can 

 now supply the following at 25 cents

 lepsch, and Langstroth. The likeness 

 of Mr.Langstroth we have copied, is one 

 furnished by his daughter, who says, 

 " it is the only one ever taken when he 

 was in good health and spirits." We 

 are glad to be able to secure one of such 

 a satisfactory nature.

Honey and Beeswax Market. 



BUYERS' QUOTATIONS. 



Wire Nails. 



There being considerable demand Cor Wire nulls. I 

 have concluded to curry a stock of them, and can till 

 orders for any quantity promptly. For nailing Sec- 

 tions, Cans, Frames, Hacks, Crates, &<■-, they have 

 become quite popular. 



The entire length of the nail being the same thick- 

 ness, they never loosen as ordinary Iron nails will, 

 and are not as liable to bend or break. 



From the assortment of lengths given in the table 

 below, any kind of nailing may be done with these 

 nails, even to making large boxes. 



W lach long, wire No. 20, per lb 840.

 dress, mention the old address as well

A Smooth Complexion can be had by 



every lady who will use Parker's Ginger 

 Tonic. For promptly regulating the 

 liver and kidneys and purifying the

 is the reason why it so quickly removes 

 pimples and gives a rosy bloom to the 

 cheek. See notice.
