Breech Loading ssliot Guns. 
These Shells are easily loaded, and the cays easily extracted from inside. Head solid, and much thicker 
an any shell now made, giving a solid seat for coue or anvil, which prevents it. from driving through or 
wringing away, thereby causing mitssfires. The cone is made ofntckle and fastened solid in its pliict*. It 
neither rusts or corrodes fast like moveable anvil made of steel. The nlckle cone also prevents mlasllre 
when cap has been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either in Bteel or iron. These shells 
are finely finished, and made any length, ordered, from 2k to inches.

TESTIMONIALS. 
From Hon. J. T. Headley, tbe Historian, Author of 
“Adirondack, or Life in the Woods,” &c. 
It is admirably written, and has just enough of hu¬ 
mor, sentiment, and description of scenery mixed, to 
make it delightful. The illustrations are well chosen 
and very effective, while the instructions respecting 
routes, localities, distances, outfits, &c„ embrace 
everything that can be desired. Taking it all in all. 
it is the most complete book that has been published 
on the Adirondacks, not excepting even my own—a 
compliment that I trust will be properly appreciated 
for its extraordinary disinterestedness. 
From Albert B. Street, the Poet, and Author of 
“Woods and Waters,” “The Indian Pass,” Ac, 
I think it is the best work ou the forest that has ap¬ 
peared—superior in word-painting to Mtnray’s, and 
full of wood-pictures and vivid scenes of camp-life. 
We realize that we are in the forest, are living with 
you in the scenes described, aud that the trees are 
waving aud the waters flowing over and by us. This, 
I think, the true test of a good hook, impressing its 
reality and distinctive life on the mind. As a “Guide 
Book,” it is most creditable and valuable. Indeed, it 
is the only thing of the kind that has yet been pub¬ 
lished—the very thing that has been so long wanted 
and waited for. It must have cost yon intense appli¬ 
cation and labor. You may well he content that you 
have produced a good book. 
From Benson J. Lossing, the Historian, 
I have read those portions de scrip live of the places 
which cam® uuder my personal observation, with the 
deepest interest, and most cheerfully testify to the 
general accuracy of yonr pictures as I recall impres¬ 
sions made of them at the dates of my visits. I re¬ 
gard your “Descriptive Guide” and the “Appendix” 
as a most useful—nay. indispensable, manual for tour¬ 
ists to that wonderful Wilderness. A tour in that 
region is eminently a practical matter,-and for that 
reason I regard vour “Guide” as an important, useful, 
and timely publication.

adapted to the wants of the sportsman. Have nsed 
your tobaccos for many yea.s, and know them all to 
be first-class. 
For Spurt.men. 
A trusty friend, in weariness or trouble; a solid re¬ 
source in Winter und rough weather, is a sweet pine 
With Vanity Frir. Best dealers have it. 
From A. B. Lamlierton, Rnehcster. 
Having smoked yonr tobacco. Vanity Fair, by the 
camp Are and by the hearth, I believe it in point of 
fragrance and taste superior to all brands known to 
me. Being In search of a tobacco that would not tiro 
the tongue and mouth, I« as made acquainted with 
your Vanity Fair, and found it to be the ne iilus ultra 
of natural leaf. 
For Cigarettes. 
A cigarette Is an interlude to tbe serious habit; a 
graceful make-believe for spare hours. For cigar¬

From Forest and 8tremti, \ Y. 
M r c have received from Messrs. Kimball A Co., of

Vamty Fair tobacco in neat metal cases holding a
